Creature comforts

February 2007

It may be cold and dreary outside, but that's no reason to compromise on your home comforts. In fact, if ever there was time to surround yourself in cosy fabrics and accessories then it would be now. At Fishpools the linen and soft furnishings department has everything you could wish for to create a perfect haven in which you can hibernate throughout the winter months - after all, spring is just around the corner (fingers crossed!) so what better way to keep your spirits high and beat the winter blues than treating yourself and your home to some essential extras.

Cushions and throws are great ways of updating your home. They are also affordable and versatile which means you don't need to resort to a full home makeover and look great in both the living area and the bedroom. Treat yourself to a few in different colours so if you find yourself getting bored of one you can switch location at your leisure! To warm up the cold days go for rich colours such as chocolate browns and plum red shades or to brighten up the dark nights opt for vivid pinks and leaf greens. There is no better way to warm yourself up than by surrounding yourself with rich and luxurious fabrics like velvet, fleece and wool - all of which are certain to make your nights in as cosy as possible.

For the big kids out there release the child in you with a fur fabric bean bag, which are available from Fishpools in a range of colours, and surrounding yourself with big cushions as you relax by the fire - bliss!

Friendly and experienced staff are on hand in the store to provide tailor made estimates to meet both your needs and your budget for curtains, blinds and voiles. So whether or not you want to keep the dark nights out, or let the winter light in there is something to suit everyone's taste. Take a look at the 'Tarring' curtain set in chocolate or stone - pencil pleated ready-made curtains in neutral shades which will go with most colour schemes. Getting the right ambience in your home is essential to your well-being, especially in your bedroom - so whether it's heavy or thin curtains, fabric or wooden blinds you're looking for, there is a large choice in store.

Where else better than to relax than in the sanctuary of the bedroom? It really is essential to make this room your ultimate inner sanctum and you cannot go wrong with the range of bed linens available at Fishpools. Getting the right duvet and pillow set will be a real investment for the future.

Take a look at the winter duvet and pillow set available in single, double and king sizes or get cosy in the traditional white goose down duvet set. A brilliant way to update your room is by simply changing your bedding. With many leading linen brands available from which you will be able to pick out sheets, pillow cases, duvet covers and blankets at your leisure to get the look you want.
