Cutting edge style at Fishpools

July 2007

We are all fond of the traditional, more classic look for our interiors, and it can become easy to get stuck in a rut and play it safe with furniture and décor. However, you don't have to make dramatic changes to update the look of your home, and it needn't be costly or take a lot of effort - Fishpools will see to that!

If you feel you would like to make a few changes in your home then consider updating the look of your lounge or dining area - there is a whole host of designs on offer and something for everyone. Although traditional styles are very much established in our homes, the contemporary look is becoming increasingly popular and is proving to be somewhat of a rival in the style stakes.

Giving your home the contemporary look may not be as time-consuming as you expect - you don't need to go about redecorating your whole house! Single pieces of furniture can be used to introduce the look as subtly and as gradually as you like, adding a hint of modernism to a traditionally-styled room. Try adding some stylish chrome bar stools to your dining area, or if you want to blend more recent styles in with traditional designs then use simple fabrics such as throws and cushions to re-vamp an old sofa. Take a look at Fishpools' accessories for some crisp, modern designs which will update most looks.

Contemporary styled lounging is in abundance at Fishpools. With a range of stylish sofas available in a variety of colours, designs and types of leather to suit all types of modern tastes. The Eloisse sofa is great for those after a quirky, retro look, whilst the Arion leather sofa in red is sleek and chic in a vibrant shade of red.

If you were after something slightly lower key but with a modern twist then the Reflex corner sofa in its neutral tones could be more up your street. The elegant Toscana range of sofas come in a number of sections designed to fit any shape or size of room and with a variety of shades, can add brightness to any shape.

For modern dining then look no further. When it comes to tables, contemporary twists on old styles come in the form of pieces such as the Genoa with its white streamlined chairs and glass top table, and the Iso oiled oak finish flip top table with its high backed, stream lined leather chairs. Dining doesn't come any more contemporary than this!

For bedroom areas, straight edged woods are perfect for introducing that modern twist. The Attraction collection of sliding and hinged wardrobes gives a very slick look to any bedroom, as does the Keno bed set with its low-lying functional form and high-backed headboard, hinting at sleek continental influences. The stylish Nolte bedroom design uses clean edges on a range of tables, shelves and mirrored wardrobes. Choose from stylish brown and cream tones or complementary dark stained oak.

So for cutting edge, contemporary style, look no further than Fishpools this summer for some serious modernisation.
