Perfect Bedroom Furniture

Posted by Steph, on March 8th, 2010, under Home Makeovers, RSS

When furnishing a bedroom it is important to choose the right size furniture for the room. At New England Lifestyle we are confident that we are able to offer a choice of sizes in the key pieces of bedroom furniture to ensure that you are able to find the pieces that are right for your room.

When it comes to choosing a wardrobe one of the most important considerations is whether your preferred wardrobe can actually be carried into the room – something that many of us overlook! If access is difficult, but you are looking for a large wardrobe, the Manhattan Double Wardrobe with Drawers is the ideal choice. Clever constructed in four parts to enable access into almost any room, this large white wardrobe is put together in situ by our skilled delivery team in just minutes.If your bedroom is in the eaves and height is limited, but you long for hanging space, the Maine Wardrobe is a small white wardrobe designed just for you.

If you have a long blank wall and you are looking for drawer storage, then our large white multidrawer units are a great choice. With a total of seven substantial storage drawers, they really do hold a lot of clothes!!!! If you do not have the width for such a unit but are still look for drawer space, then our white tall chests are what you are looking for.

Find your perfect bedside table from our choice of ten variations. If you have the space, finish the room with a dressing table and/or a mirror. We have a choice of four dressing tables varying from 121cm wide to just 94cm, and a selection of large and small white mirrors to match. Alternatively, why not choose a white full length mirror, which can be either wall mounted or simply leant against the wall?

Cornwall’s White Lighthouse

Posted by Steph, on March 6th, 2010, under Lifestyle, RSS

Many people flock  to Cornwall every year to enjoy the expanses of sandy beaches, glistening white surf and the beautiful landscapes.

At New England Lifestyle we can wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Godrevy, an area on the North Coast of West Cornwall within St Ives Bay. Godrevy Head has some of the most stunning coastal heathland in the country, and the majority of the headland is owned by the National Trust and open to the public. Whilst the western side of Godrevy Head is bounded by rocks to the north, a wide sandy beach stretches to the south where surfers are a regular sight.

Looking across the vast sandy beaches, you can catch a glimpse of Godrevy Lighthouse, an operational white lighthouse standing on Godrevy Point, just 300 yards from Godrevy Head. Built in 1858-1859, the lighthouse is a white octagonal tower, 86 feet (26 m) high constructed of rubble-stone and mortar.

If you are looking for a holiday cottage to rent in this area, The Beach House is a great choice. Quietly set back from the sea on Gwithian Towans with stunning views towards Godrevy lighthouse and St Ives, the property is less than 5 minutes walk to the expansive sands. Recently refurbished in the New England Style,  the Beach House is amongst the largest properties on the Towans and sleeps 7 comfortably. The beach is fully lifeguarded in season, dolphins and seals are frequently sighted.

After your Cornish break, our Tall White Lighthouse will be a wonderful reminder of a relaxing holiday in a truly remarkable location.

Light up your imagination

Posted by Steph, on March 4th, 2010, under New England News, RSS

With just a little imagination, a seemingly simple glass hurricane lamp can be transformed into a stunning centrepiece for your dining table.

Pictured right we have filled our large “Lume di Candela” from Riviera Maison with just a few shells and a simple white pillar candle. The light sparkles in the glass lamp creating a calming atmosphere – perfect for a dinner party, or just as a feature in your living room, adding warmth to your interior design.

For a romantic twist, perhaps fill the bottom of the lamp with dried rose petals or sprigs of lavender to add a splash of colour along with wonderful scents.

Hurricane Lamps are not just restricted to candles… just imagine the Lume di Candela filled with tall blooms; lush green leaves and fragrant white leaves, or perhaps large yellow sunflowers in the summer.

Similar effects can be created with the Fiori Piccolo Glass Vase from Riviera Maison. Yes it is a beautiful vase that can be placed on a table, or hung from a large hook; but it is also a stylish candle holder… or whatever you want it to be!

The Lume di Candlea is only available in store, priced at £55. View our Accessories page for more ideas of attractive New England Style pieces to add those all important finishing touches to your home interior.
