Create A New England Style Kitchen Breakfast Room

Posted by Steph, on August 20th, 2010, under Home Makeovers, RSS

The kitchen breakfast room has become the “must have” room of modern homes. It is often the real heart of the home, where Mum can be busy in the kitchen whilst the children play at the other end of the room, always within sight. It can be a real social space – perfect for informal get-togethers with family and friends.

The kitchen diner is always such a busy room in a family home that it is important to design the room in the style that will work for you. Keeping the décor light and bright will always help to create a bright and cheery atmosphere.

Choosing furniture that combines white with oak can add extra depth to the room, and an extra element of style.

A sturdy dining table is a must, and it is worth investing in a high quality oak dining table that will go on to last for years to come. Our New England Dining Table is hand made in solid oak with beautiful fluted detailing to the legs. It is available in the natural oak finish, or for a more modern look choose the New England Dining Table with White Painted Legs.

Our very popular Newport Dining Chairs are also available in the natural oak finish, or painted white. Why not mix and match white and oak for a more contemporary feel?

A spacious kitchen dresser is a must have for any family, and we have a great range of White Painted Dressers to choose from. Why not continue the combination of white and oak by choosing the Large Burlington Dresser? This stylish Dresser combines two substantial storage cupboards with two large drawers and open shelving above.

Complete your room by adding a comfortable white sofa to relax on. Our Chelsea Sofa’s are a great choice, available in 2.5 seater or 3 seater. Handmade in the UK on a beech frame, our sofas have zigzag springs and foam cushions and are upholstered in a linen/cotton Villa Nova fabric. Choose matching plain dye cushions for extra comfort.

Choose white furniture for a child’s bedroom

Posted by Steph, on August 16th, 2010, under Home Makeovers, RSS

When looking to decorate a child’s bedroom, white furniture is a very sensible choice.

White bedroom furniture is not gender specific. White is a calming, neutral colour that will blend with any accent colour you should choose to personalise the space. White furniture looks amazing in a coastal or nautical themed room for a boy… just as it fits perfectly into a princess bedroom for a girl.

Our Maine Range of white bedroom furniture was originally designed for children’s bedrooms, and as the years have passed we have continued to add products to the range to ensure that the furniture will grow with you and your child.

The white sleigh bed is as popular as ever; the supporting sides make it an ideal first bed whilst the stylish design mean it will still be in use during teenage years. Our shaker style Maine Wardrobe is the perfect dimensions for a child’s bedroom, being just that little bit smaller. The wardrobe comes with a useful storage drawer below, and looks great with baskets or colourful boxes stored on the top.

The Maine Toy Box may start out being used as a toy box, but will develop into the most useful storage box for practically anything you can think of – be it school paperwork, teddy bears, or shoes.

The white bookcase in the Maine Range is such a simple design, great for children’s books of all sizes. Choose the Maine Console Table for your little princess to sit at and make herself beautiful – or use it as a small homework desk. As school work starts to get more demanding, the Maine Desk provides ample workspace to spread out on, or to take a laptop of home computer.

Additional clothes storage can be provided by the addition of any of the chests of drawers in the range, plus there is a choice of three white bedside tables.

The great thing about choosing white bedroom furniture for a child’s bedroom is that it is so easy to maintain!! Yes, the furniture may get chipped or marked as it goes through life with its not so careful owners. Unlike many other bedroom furniture types, white painted bedroom furniture can be simply lightly sanded and repainted, and it is as good as new. White bedroom furniture really is an investment, it is furniture for life!!!
