Colour has made a real come back with many manufacturers creating colour combinations of contrasting colours within their flooring designs. Combine different colours for whichever look you are trying to achieve.
Need ideas?
Striking orange, cerise, maroon and damson create a bold and bright interior that makes a real statement. Deeper colours such as rich red, purple, navy blue and bold black create a decadent and opulent look and feel.
As well as wonderful colour palettes emerging for 2011 textures are high on the hot list. When creating your room think about creating texture and layers within the space, use accessories such as cushions, throws and wallpaper to complete the look.
Carpets can create many moods through not only their colour but their texture. Opt for a sumptuous Saxony to really sink your toes into, velvet or wilton to glide on or a rustic natural bringing the outdoors in.
Were all a little scared when it comes to splashing colour around our homes and thats why natural shades are a classic. Think of the neutral carpet as the little black dress, everyone has one (if not two, three of four), its a timeless-classic. If youre on a budget and searching for an autumnal bargain, add warmth and depth to a room by choosing mushroom, stone and mocha colours. Or, if youre looking to give an illusion of space chose a lighter shade neutral, latte or beach sand. However, as with all trends (remember the phrase grey is the new black?), trends move on. And, were seeing duck egg blues and soft greens slowly creeping up the best-selling list. Need some inspiration then have a look here

Vinyl floorings replicate all the beauty of natural flooring whilst being virtually indistinguishable from the materials which inspire their designs.
Vinyl floorings offer significant advantages in terms of design capability, maintenance and cost and are realistic and hygienic products with a warm and durable feel, ideally suitable for kitchens and bathrooms.
Warm underfoot, vinyl flooring is also very quiet to walk upon and unlike many natural alternatives it will not chip, splinter or crack.
Vinyl flooring is particularly suited to family areas such as kitchens or bathrooms as it does not harbour dirt or bacteria.
Taking care of your Vinyl Floor :
Vacuum clean, sweep or dry mop the floor to remove dust, loose particles and dirt.
If required, damp mop the floor (do not "flood" the floor) with a solution of lukewarm water.
Rinse the floor with clean water so that no residue of floor cleaning emulsion remains.
The amount of traffic will determine how often cleaning is required.
Vacuum clean or sweep with a soft broom as necessary, dust and grit can be very abrasive and will cause premature wear if not removed regularly.
Stubborn marks may be removed with the gentle rubbing of a soft cloth with eucalyptus oil.
Any spillage should be wiped immediately, before it has time to soak in. Heel marks may be removed with the gentle rubbing of a soft cloth with eucalyptus oil.
Spirits such as paraffin, turpentine, petroleum or bleaches should never be used for cleaning the floorcovering, likewise abrasive cleaners or wire wool scouring pads must never be used.
Many items can cause staining of the floorcovering. These include: shoe polish, hair lotion, hair dyes, wax crayons, tar/bitumen, animal excretions and rubber products such as rubber back mats and furniture legs.
Many people are choosing laminate floors for stunning good looks and durability.
The surface is actually resin which means it's highly scratch resistant, virtually stainproof and extremely durable.

DO I NEED TO REPLACE MY FOAM?
If your foam cushion material is older than about 8 years, or if it is beginning to have a "rounded" front edge, or if the seat foam doesn't offer you the support you need to feel comfortable, then you are probably ready for new foam.
We specialise in foam cushion replacement.
We can transform old, tired and flat looking cushions into a cushion that looks like new. We can cut any grade of foam, wrap in polyester dacron, stockinette and then fit to cushion covers.
Foam production technology has made some very significant advances in the past decade. Foams of varying densities and ILD ratings are now produced which offer the furniture manufacturer or Upholsterer an opportunity to select a specific type of foam based upon
If you need new foam cushions for ANY type of seating(excluding cars)then give us a call with your sizes and we can then make up a price for you. Or you can bring your cushion in to our showroom for us to take a look and advise you on the different types of foams and hollow fibres from our samples.
We realise that in today's competitive marketplace we need to work with our customers in order to help them achieve their goals and to do this we aim to give as personal a service as possibleas no two jobs are the same.
Depending on the cushion size a typical foam service is as follows: When possible take you cushion to the showroom were we measure up so we can give you a quote. Then you agreed you requirements we can the proceed to cut to size and finished with dacron wrap, ready for collection
Replacing sofa cushions
When measuring old cushions for new foam fillings there are a couple of things that should be considered;
For the cushion to have a full, plump, appearance the new foam filling needs to be slightly bigger than the cushion cover. This allows for slight compaction and will reduce the possibility of the cover wrinkling.
We recommend, when replacing foam cushion interiors, you will need to add (10mm) to the cushion cover length and width. We would also suggest in some cases adding (10mm) to the depth of the cushion, as well.
All our foam and hollow fibre meets the flame retardant laws
Hollow Fibre
Hollow Fibre is a synthetic man made material, each strand has a single hole down the middle, this traps air and produces 'loft'.
There are many different types of fibre available, they vary in length and thickness, some are slick and some are coarse.
We have researched Hollow Fibre Filling and have opted to supply what we consider the best quality available for our entire range of cushion filling. It is long lasting, and provides excellent recovery for years to come.
