Get the classical look with Fishpools...

August 2007

Trends come and go, but with classical pieces you can rest assured that you will have invested in something which will last for years and carry you through from season to season.

At Fishpools you will be impressed with the ranges of furniture there are in the store - be it your living room, dining bedroom or kitchen area you want to add 'the classical touch' to there is something for everyone.

In recent years it's fair to say that people have veered towards the more modern look for their homes, opting for simple, clean lines. However, this autumn looks set to see a revival of all things grand and opulent - classical living is back with a vengeance!

The key to this look is upholstery and finish. The Buckingham Suite is an elegant collection with traditional styling as is the Netherfield with its luxurious fabrics and hand carved wood facings. The Florence suite is a perfect example of superior style with its lavish fabric finishes including regency stripes and glamorous damasks. Matching cushions with all these collections ensure that no detail is overlooked and that you get the truly classical effect.

Keep an eye out for other luxurious upholstered ranges from Duresta which has always followed the 'classical route' and which is renowned for hand-made top quality.

If you like the idea of something classical but don't want to go to extremes then the Heritage Dining collection will be right up your street. A classical range with a modern touch which is available in all over cherry finish or two tone, is a collection definitely worth taking a look at. If you like to be a little more flamboyant with your furniture then the Santa Barbara collection will help you really make a statement whilst keeping a traditional edge.

In the bedroom you really have the excuse to go for all-out glamour. One of Fishpools' most popular bedroom ranges is the Romance - with its antique white finish. As the name suggests this is a collection of pieces that has the perfect ingredients for any boudoir. There are several pieces in the range so you can pick and choose items to give your room that classic edge - finding enough to fill even the most extravagant of bedrooms certainly won't be a problem!

For the finishing touches to your look Fishpools' accessories department has everything you need. From candelabras, vases and china, through to cushions, throws and lighting it's all there waiting for you.

When deciding on window dressings, opt for curtains over blinds, and accessorise further with classical lamps with brass or gold detailing.

There are so many gorgeous pieces to choose from at Fishpools and you can easily create this elegant look without breaking the bank. All that's left to do is to lay back and enjoy your own life of luxury.
