Window dressing specialists Moghul offer a fresh look for the bedroom this spring; with shimmery silks, natural colour schemes and delicate embroidered detailing.

With spring being the natural time to cast off the darkness and gloom of winter, look to your bedroom as a place to welcome light and space into your personal haven.

The ‘crafty’ trend is set to continue throughout 2011, with crocheted and embroidered crewels becoming a popular choice for the bedroom. Moghul’s cotton based crewels embody intricate detailing and floral motifs, which are fitting for understated interiors and neutral, calming colour schemes.

For a more opulent surrounding, sleek silk curtains will be a big trend next season, as glamour and hotel chic filters back into the bedroom to create the perfect boudoir.

Metallic sheens in petrol grey will be stylish, as we move away from vibrant reds and bachelor black for a more sophisticated approach.

Golds teamed with aqua hues work well with petrol grey, invoking feelings of luxury and elegance, making it a perfect haven to retreat to for some indulgent ‘me time’.

Featured here is Aqua Antique

A Sultry Mix Of Folkloric Designs, Intense Colours And Lavish Textures:

Enticing midnight colours, ancient designs and seductive textures are given Nono’s contemporary twist in the New Gypsy Fabric Collection.

Romantic and colourful, Gypsy is perfect for conjuring free-spirited boho-chic schemes, or for adding an atmospheric touch to classical settings.

The five eye-catching designs are played out in sumptuous deep jewel shades, inky dark blues, fiery reds, hot pinks and moody charcoal and blacks. Flashes of turquoise and tangerine add extra zing to the intricate patterns.

Giving a modern twist to ancient traditional patterns, Gypsy is a multi-coloured folkloric paisley, whilst Suzani is an ornate circular motif, based on ancient eastern European influences.

For maximum impact, Romaneeya is a large velvet zig-zag in tonal bands with an intricate taffeta background and Zindello is a bold multi-coloured horizontal banded stripe. Electra is a multi-purpose, all over diamond design.

The collection has a hand-crafted feel and abundant mix-and-match fabric choices, including lush velvet chenilles and complementary plains suitable for upholstery.

Says Nono’s Creative Director, Gill Nono: “This collection is ideal for creating striking pattern clash effects. To be on trend, schemes shouldn’t be too ‘matchy-matchy’, use all the designs together in a patchwork effect for maximum impact.”

Gypsy fabrics are priced from £30.00 - £40.00 RRP per metre.

The New Year may mean a whole host of New Year’s resolutions for many of us, but it can also mean the start of a series of positive changes to others.

To encourage you to stick to your promises, why not ring-in the changes to create a renewed energy in your home?

A change in your surroundings can change your mood and what better time of year to do something about it…?

• Colours and patterns are like energy drinks for the soul. They inspire us and give us ideas. They can make us warm, glad and eager, or calm, relaxed and sleepy.

• Take the time to strip your room back to the bare essentials. Even rearrange the furniture. Then, think about the colours you feel will create the right mood in the room for you.

• Simply by adding textiles, lighting and decorative items, you can make a big impact. Start with the larger blocks of colour or bolder patterns first, finally adding those finishing touches to create the perfect room for you.

This season Gant home went to Italy for inspiration.

“This latest collection consists, as usual, of two complementary yet different parts. The Gant Home City line is more sophisticated with a clean almost masculine touch, whereas the Gant Home Country line focuses more on down-to-earth patterns, checks and stripes in classic Gant style.

 Between them it should be quite easy to mix and match for every and any room in the house,” says Annette Lundh, designer for Gant Home.

Gant Home City focuses on exclusivity and select materials, including cashmere and high thread count cotton, as well as superb detailing.

• To create a modern urban feeling, refined patterns – such as classic tie prints – go hand in hand with the sophisticated and low-key blacks, whites, grays, dark blues and khakis.
• Key pieces for this season are updated cotton pillowcases, cotton satin sheets with paisley patterns, loop knitted cushions and cozy woven throws with cashmere.

Gant Home Country in our picture, is all about timeless classics and relaxed elegance.

• This is where colors really shine and the characteristic Gant checks and stripes have been updated.
• It’s a more basic and simple look, but with updated styles such as madras checks and soft pastels.
• The bandana in the classic Gant print, the denim products and the madras throws and cushions are some of the strong style elements of this line.

The tie-print bed linens are symbolic of the Gant home collection: witty and updated yet distinctive and instantly recognizable.

The emphasis is on style and quality, mixing elements from other parts of the Gant brand – and the rest of our customers’ lives with home furnishings to create a unique expression.
