With nights getting darker, Matt, Lisa and their kids wanted to make more use of the family room, with evening movies and home-made food on the bill. Glare from numerous windows was spoiling their enjoyment until our Roman blinds solved the problem, and the velvet Hemingford Midnight fabric they chose creates a warm and comfortable setting so the whole family can relax and enjoy the movie.
An expansive patio amid a stunning riverside garden is an ideal spot for outdoor entertaining and our luxury awning is an excellent addition. Awnings offer remote control operation, integrated heating and lighting and are customisable, from fabric style and colour to additional features such as programmable timers and sun sensors, allowing Matt and Lisa to enjoy this space from morning til night.
With large windows running the length of the beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining room, not to mention a shaped window at a higher level, Matt and Lisa needed a solution that was high-performing, practical and stylish. They chose smart electric Duette® blinds in Silk Deep Balsalm, an innovative thermal blind that can be operated by voice command – perfect when Matt is whipping up a storm in the kitchen. Duette® blinds are an ideal choice for shaped windows too and like all our blinds, they’re made to measure for a precise fit.
With the shade of the awning creating the ideal setting for a relaxed outdoor meal, Matt whipped up a storm on the barbecue. Perfect for a lazy lunch in the sun, or a relaxed dinner as the day drifts to an end, Matt’s Barbecue Chicken with Mango and Avocado Salsa and Buttermilk Sauce is a delight.

An unusual shaped window in the bedroom was a challenge for Matt and Lisa but luckily shaped shutters are our speciality. Our in-home consultations allow our experts to really see and understand any challenges and offer the ideal solutions, which in Matt and Lisa’s case was a combination of Full Height shutters, with a separate shaped shutter for the uppermost section.
