We had some lovely feedback from a customer we worked with recently. We made a pair of curtains with matching pelmet in a fun yet classy fabric, that gives a little lift to the room.

“Wonderful curtains, absolutely delighted with them when finished. Cristina has been very patient and very helpful.”
The Christmas Elves have visited our showroom and left us a gorgeous Frozen themed display.
Pom pom snowflakes, with a pom pom trimmed tee pee, voile snow and beautiful polar bear cushions, teamed with frozen wallpaper and boarder. What child wouldn’t love this bedroom?
Mr & Mrs Justice came to us after buying a new property and were looking to furnish all the windows to help make their new house more homely. We discussed their different options and helped select fabric to achieve the final look.
Mr & Mrs Justice
“What impressed me was attention to detail to a level rarely encountered these days.”
Mrs Cortese,
“Having presented the Fresh Ideas team with an unusual window challenge I am delighted to say they exceeded all expectations. They took great care in ensuring that the curtains and track fitted the window perfectly. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and praise their professionalism and attention to detail.”
Mr and Mrs Oliver left us with these kind words following the completion of their order,
“We were really pleased with all aspects of the service, from hep with fabric selection in store to final fitting and after sales service too.
We were looking for curtains for both our living room and our bedroom. Both sets of windows had some difficulties.
In the living room, we wanted curtains to go with some rugs we had bought and the minute we showed the lady in store a photo of the rugs she immediately found a brilliant fabric. We went with the first one she pulled out! When the fitter arrived to put the poles up in the living room it became evident that the centre fixing for the pole didn’t have sufficient adjustment on it to fit. The fitter went out of his way to find a solution and made some spacers from solid oak to match our window frames. The spacers are exactly the same shape as the centre mounts and have become a feature in their own right. Perfect.
The bedroom window is a large triangle and so awkward to dress that we lived for seven years with no curtains at all and for the next twelve years with a makeshift version. The design consultant knew exactly what to do with them and also worked our an efficient way to draw the curtains back during the day.
Also in the bedroom we wanted curtains at a balcony door that needed to be double sided because the curtain pole swings open during the day revealing what would be the reverse of the curtains. We had really good advice from the design consultant who suggested an outdoor fabric for the reverse of the curtains so that they wouldn’t fade if drawn to keep the sun out and would not be unduly affected by getting wet if it rained whilst the balcony doors were open.
The triangle was awkward for the fitter to put up the rails because the oak frames were uneven, but again the fitter worked out a perfect way of solving the problem.
The curtains themselves are beautifully made.
Overall, we have been really pleased with the final result. We would certainly use Fresh Ideas again.”
We were lucky enough to see a demonstration at Chelsea Harbours design centre show last month where Morris and Co showed their craftsmanship of block printing wallpaper. By hand with heavy duty equipment shows the quality of work put into their products and the detail that goes into every piece.
We have a number of Morris and Co wallpaper books here in the showroom if you’d like to see the quality in their designs, with both modern and traditional designs to suit any home.
Taken from the iconic 1959 screen print, Woods has become a firm Cole & Son favourite with its calming print in a variety of palettes. The elegant silver birch design is available in Black on White as well as the understatedly elegant hues of Linen on Cream, White on Old Olive, and White on Lilac Grey.
Mrs Collins was so pleased with outcome she had these lovely words to say;
“I had such a lovely experience choosing my curtains from Fresh Ideas, from the first visit from Cristina to the fitting day. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they were happy to provide me with different samples to choose from. I am so pleased with my curtains that I will definitely come back for more.”
We managed to find a lovely self patterned light sage damask fabric for Mrs Collins, we felt this worked perfectly with the softer greens in her cushions allowing the curtains to make a nice change but also not be too much in contrast with the carpet. We also provided Mrs Collins with a pinch pleat valance instead of her previous pencil pleat valance for a slightly more modern and classy feel.
