Sumptuous Surroundings

Febuary 2008

Spring is almost upon us and the dark winter nights are nearly gone for another year - so why not give your home a spring injection too?

The deep, rich fabrics and furnishings which were ideal for the winter months will begin to look a bit heavy for the spring. And you don’t have to completely re decorate - one of the best ways to revamp your home is by adding fresh bright colours and textures to a room.

There’s not one of us who doesn’t enjoy coming home after a long day and crashing out on the couch, snuggling up with a good DVD. Surrounding ourselves in sumptuous fabrics and soft cushions createssuch a luxurious feeling.

To achieve such luxury have a looka t different materials on offer – soft wool is fantastic for creating cosiness, as are angora, mohair and even faux-fur - the ultimate in comfort!

Cushions are also a great way to create new seating areas. Place them on a deep window sill in the kitchen and bingo! You have the perfect window seat.

A great way to add new texture to your home is to use throws. They range in price so for those of you who are after a temporary change they are an ideal solution as you can mix and match different looks without breaking the bank.

Let in the light and invest in a new pair of curtains – a quick way to move away from the heavy fabrics of winter. Fishpools' linen and soft furnishings departments have a wide variety of soft delicate materials to choose from. Let the spring sun creep in and warm up the room.

A place where we truly want to be comfortable is of course the bedroom. You can transform the way your bedroom looks with minimal effort. Fishpools have some fantastic ranges of bedding which are just perfect for the new season. Whether you love the feel of pure white Egyptian cotton or fancy something a bit funkier you’ll definitely find something in the store perfect for you to dream under.

Don’t forget about the bathroom - by adding accessories such as fluffy towels and bath mats you can make a big difference. Instead of jumping up and down to keep warm after stepping out of the shower, imagine wrapping yourself up in a warm fluffy towel - indulge, your’re worth it!

So if you fancy adding more comfort to your life Fishpools has everything you could possibly need.
