    This large bay was fitted just in time for Christmas celebrations 🎄✨ Our clients are hosting this year and were super happy with the result.

    A simple but effective way to dress a bay, with double pleat headings and thermal blackout lining to keep the chill out and protect the fabric from the sun. Hung on @silentglissltd tracking, bent on site, and finished with simple tiebacks to let the light flood in.

    Pure white, 3 metre drop washed linen dressed in a classic bay window using @silentglissltd tracking. The perfect solution for this high-rise bay. 🫧🪡

    Paired with @ilivfabrics Dune in Chalk and finished with white silk privacy blinds, headboard, bed valance and many, many scatter cushions. A glamorous but simple shabby chic look. Perfect for a perfect room. ✨

    This small garage conversion was a bit of a tricky one. The door opens inwards and the ceiling heights were all different, but the two blackout Roman blinds worked beautifully. 🥰🪡

    We finished it off with a privacy roller blind on the window. With a small amount of fabric left over, we made a couple of coordinating scatter cushions for the futon bed, a little surprise for our lovely client. 🧵

    What a whopper!! ⭐️🪡

    Nearly 7 metres of glass, with a brief to keep things minimal when open and full wow factor when closed. No pressure then… 😉

    We achieved it using Linoso wide-width fabric in Feather from @clarke_clarke_interiors. The subtle double pleat heading oozes class and the way the light filters through when closed is just perfect. 😊

    A little detail we love to add on suitable fabrics is a fabric ‘return’ on the side of Roman blinds to hide the headrail. It looks so tidy and completely bespoke. 🪡🍃

    Those pegs have been working overtime this past year or so! 🌟

    Just look at how fab this geometric fabric looks all pegged up and ready for double pleating. It really is a labour of love. 😊

    Back in the day, most Roman blinds were made with cord and a cleat hook, just like in this photo. Times have changed and rightly so. 🪡

    Because of updated safety laws, all of our Roman blinds are now made using child-safe headrails that fully comply with British safety standards. 🏡🤍

    The devil’s in the detail 🪡 or in this case, in the clever use of the animal pattern. 🐾

    We had an oversized headboard and a bed-end bench made, upholstered to match, while fitting an over-wide Roman blind under an upholstered pelmet. Look closely - the pattern flows perfectly from pelmet to blind!

    A few scatter cushions finished the look, creating the stunning contemporary style our clients wanted. 💫

    A large room with so much glass 🪟🌿

    I didn’t want to close the space in, as the countryside views were too lovely to hide. The client chose Roman blinds on one side and curtains to soften the rest, all made in a smart and timeless stripe. 🪡

    When my client said, “I’d love a window seat here…” but there wasn’t one, challenge accepted! 😉🪚

    Out came the tools and I built one myself. My first bit of carpentry for a client, and I have to say, I was pretty chuffed with the result (and more importantly, so was she!).

    I made everything from the bedding to the bay seating, curtains and scatter cushions. What a joy it was to bring it all together. 🪡💜

    This lovely chaise longue was made a few years ago and placed in the space between floors of a four-storey home. 🏡🪡

    Still looking as elegant as ever, especially with those scatter cushions to lift it. A timeless piece to enjoy for years to come. 🌿

    Our Kelmscott Tree project! 🌿🪡🕊️

    William Morris never misses, does he? This beautiful Kelmscott Tree fabric, from @sanderson1860 and designed by Alison Gee in the @wmorrisandco studio, was inspired by Morris’s own home, Kelmscott Manor.

    I used a plain linen to contrast-edge the design, reupholstered the dining chairs in complementary tones, and topped it off with scatter cushions (because you can never have too many!). Some fabrics just feel at home in certain spaces, and this was one of those moments. ❣️

    When there’s leftover fabric, we just love making up scatter cushions and gifting them to our lovely clients when they receive their orders. 🦋🪡

    It’s my way of saying thank you for supporting a small, independent business - and how lovely do these beauties look?! 😊

    Well, I’ll be pegged! 🪡😉

    It’s always surprising how much fabric goes into a curtain like this. This one’s thick and heavy with a beautiful weave, so it called for extra to create those beautifully deep double pleats.

    Finished under a chunky wooden pole for a smart, classic look. 💫

    This beautiful room was finished a few years ago, but it’s always worth a revisit. Smart, calming and perfectly suited to a restful bedroom.
