We are never finished when we think the decorating job is completed. When we start a project, there is all the planning – ideas discussed and colour samples obtained. Once the theme of the new decor is agreed, getting those sample paint pots and small clips of fabric to suit is a prority – we’re in the mood for change, we’ve got money burning our pockets and we’re heading for the d.i.y store. We have a quick squint at the various room layouts and choose exactly the right scheme – the better of the sofas are imagined in our lounge – maybe the ones that lift into recliner mode perhaps. It’s incredible how beautiful the suites are these days. Some are lower lying, with simple sillouhettes and others have those rather heavy overlays on the arms. With the combinations of colours and textiles, there is no need for a boring suite, some of the very best suite manufacturers produce their goods in UK, so there will always be huge selection of top class designs to choose from. The new colours available also help to promote the national furnishing trade. New buyers love the idea of buying British.
