New Voyage Collections

Written by Georgie Owen. Posted in Uncategorized

We now have Voyage’s ‘Tiverton’ fabric and wallpaper, ‘Natural History Weaves’, ‘Natural History Prints’ and ‘Natural History Wall Art’ collections available in our showroom.

Voyage’s Natural History tells an intriguing narrative based upon diverse studies and illustrations of the world around us. It has drawn inspiration from an expedition journal from a voyage of discovery which explored biology and geology, recreating sketchbook drawings to capture the precise detail of the adventure.

The designs depict subjects such as pocket watches, books and wildlife to create a real cabinet of curiosities, creating a usable timeless look for any lifestyle.

Mr & Mrs Dorrian

Written by Georgie Owen. Posted in Uncategorized

Mr & Mrs Dorrian were looking for curtains to cover their new bi-folding doors in their movie room/play room.

Mrs Dorrian had this to say about her shopping experience with Fresh Ideas:

“The service was really good, I had a really good experience especially as I wasn’t expecting such a large showroom full of so many different things – I was ‘wowed’ out when I first saw it! I saw a fabric I loved pretty much straight away, and after discussing our options with the sales consultants in the showroom, we then arranged for Graham to come out to our home. Graham came out to our home, he gave us some great advice on what would suit our windows and measured for our track and curtains – he was brilliant! Overall the turn around on it all was quick and we’re very happy our finished room. We will definitely be coming back to choose our living room curtains and some blinds in the near future.”

Fresh Ideas recommended one single blackout lined curtain to be fitted inside the recess of the window to be drawn to the left hand side, fitted on a Silent Gliss flat 35 mm graphite coloured uncorded track with a wave heading. This would ensure the curtains have a simple but effective look in the recess. We also made four cushions in the same complimenting fabrics, tying the room together really beautifully.

These curtains have allowed them to use the room in the way they intended to use it, softening the sound in the room and blocking out the light when closed.
