Children’s rooms: With Anne

Children’s rooms for adventurers and dreamers

With Anne Ginger Soft Furnishings

Whether you’re preparing for a new arrival, redecorating to reflect growing tastes, or starting with a blank canvas in a new home, winter is the perfect time to think creatively about our children’s spaces.

For children, the bedroom isn’t just a place to play and sleep but a whole world – be it their very own personal palace or a den to dream from. Decorating their own space is one of childhood’s most magical memory-makers: and with so much time spent indoors this year, now is a fantastic opportunity to create a cosy and characterful bedroom to reflect your child’s unique personality.

Parents and children alike will be in awe at the treasure trove of options at Anne Ginger Soft Furnishings. Their latest children’s range addition has been attracting rather a lot of excitement, both in the workroom (where the magic happens) and out-front in their spacious Lake showroom.

Imaginations – by contemporary textile designers Voyage – is a beautifully vibrant and lively collection of fabrics and wallpapers designed to create a truly special space that will grow along with your child.

Made for little voyagers with big imaginations, let their minds wander the skies with gently floating hot air balloons in ‘Up and Away’, or get lost in space with a galactic masterpiece from ‘Out of this World’. Take a long walk in the park with ‘Park Life’, or join foxes, deer and rabbits dancing through the trees in the whimsical ‘Woodland

Adventure’ range.

Each design is available in a variety of colour themes for maximum personalisation, filled with hand painted art (with beautiful detail retained in each brush stroke) and digitally printed on heavy weight, non-woven, wide-width paper to allow the artwork to shine without compromising on scale and design.

To discuss your child’s dream bedroom or playroom space, pre-book an appointment at Anne Ginger Soft Furnishing’s recently re-opened showroom by calling 01983 407730 or emailing info@anneginger.co.uk

Carpets for winter warmth

With Abbott’s Carpets & Flooring

There are many things we love about winter; the cold is not one of them. Luckily, Abbott’s Carpets & Flooring have a stunning range of carpets which will help you stay warm and live in style throughout the winter months.

Nothing quite compares to that feeling of sinking your feet into a soft, sumptuous carpet on those chilly mornings. Together with a good quality underlay, carpet is an effective way to retain heat and add a touch of luxury to any room. With so many different types, colours, materials, and designs of carpets to choose from, the friendly and knowledgeable team are always on hand to give the best advice based on your needs.

Wool has been used for thousands of years to provide warmth and protection against the elements, so it is no surprise that wool carpets are a popular choice. Acting as a natural insulator that keeps the warmth in and minimises heat loss, wool also looks sophisticated and welcoming. Abbott’s has plenty of options to choose from – whether 100% wool or an 80/20 wool mix – from top brands, including Penthouse Carpets, Adam Carpets and Hugh Mackay. Alternatively, you may decide on a man-made polypropylene carpet option which will withstand the daily challenges of busy family life. Britishmade Cormar Carpets & Abingdon Flooring provide some beautiful polypropylene carpet ranges which are bleach cleanable, fade resistant and easy to maintain – a fantastic choice for sticky fingers and spillages. For the full range of carpet, with takehome samples available, visit Abbott’s Carpets and Flooring at 14a Lake Industrial Way, Sandown, PO36 9PL.
