Your Winter Garden

Thoughts On Furniture

Creating Perfect Spaces

Following our concentration on contemplations of lighting in the last issue, I’d like to now consider how our manifesto relates specifically to concepts of furniture or bespoke focal points within the interior.

The new Nottingham showroom is the company’s 21st store, with two more due to open this Autumn.

Thank You From The National Garden Scheme

To find the correct size of your curtain rail, you should measure the width of the window and add around 25 to 30cm for each side of the window. So add approximately 51 to 61cm to your total. 2.
