Burgess Beds a British family business

We are proud to sell Burgess Beds and Mattresses another British family business that shares our ethos of quality.

They have been hand making bespoke luxury beds in England for over eighty years and are very much a family run business making hand crafted, quality beds for the home, hotels, shipping lines and many more institutions.

Newly arrived in our showroom from Willis and Gambier whose core values are to produce beautifully designed furniture using appropriate woods and a mixture of solid and veneered finishes to offer the customer long lasting furniture at affordable prices.

With over 135 ranges created over the last three years they are now a global company with a well established reputation for excellent quality and service.

Malvern Dining is a fresh take on a casual dining range that delicately follows the character of country styling, created out of solid Birch and Birch veneers. This, combined with solid oak tops and beautifully painted bodies brings a subtle contemporary twist to a traditionally rustic inspired range.

Available to order in 15 paint finishes, we have the hallway table, 2 door sideboard and nest of tables on display and will soon be taking delivery of dining table and chairs. The whole range can be ordered in any colour.

You already know a peaceful home is a happy home. While that likely means choosing your furniture, lighting and home fabrics based on their comfort quotient, there’s one thing that’s easy to overlook — soundproofing.

Nothing zaps your zen quite as quickly as the sound of noisy neighbors above you, or honking cars outside. But we know what you’re thinking: soundproofing equipment is pretty ugly — remember those foam pads that covered the walls of your music room at school? There are, however, plenty of home decor choices you can make to help absorb excess noise, and they don’t necessarily mean skimping on style.

The Boho Collection from Ulster Carpets is the epitome of style. The vintage inspired
designs are an ode to all things retro, reworked to create contemporary, practical axminster for the
21st century home.

Each of the six designs offer their own quirky personality, brought together by the soft pastel
shades of the “heritage” colour palette to create a unique and stunning collection.
Choose between the playful leaf pattern of “Rhapsody”, the statement zigzag of “Tribe” or the
sophisticated houndstooth of “Chic”.
The distinctive chevrons of “Hemingway” add character to any stairway, while “Bloomsbury” brings a little bit of the outdoors in with its beautiful seedhead design.
The contemporary plaid design of Hamilton offers a fresh take on the classic pattern, incorporating
the stunning pastel shades of “Tea Rose”, “Summer Breeze” and “Apple Blossom” alongside the
neutral tones of “Moon Shimmer” and “Honesty”.
The result is a unique and eye catching floor covering, which is sure to make a style statement in any home.

Made from hardwearing 80% wool / 20% nylon mix, Boho Collection has been manufactured to
last as long as the iconic designs which inspired it. As you would expect from an Ulster carpet, this
combination ensures a luxurious feel which is suitable for heavy domestic wear.

All colourways are available in 4m, 3m, 2m and 1m colour-matching widths enabling a reduction in
waste and cost by using Ulster’s multi-width offering. Boho Collection is designed to coordinate
with Heritage Twist plains, enabling the customer to create a seamless interior scheme.

Did you know May Day has roots in pagan Anglo-Saxon customs and the pagan festival Beltane, which marks the beginning of summer.

Typically, on May Day villages and towns across the UK now mark the beginning of springtime fertility.

This would usually be celebrated with large gatherings of communities, villages holding fetes and other fun activities. The May Queen is also crowned on May Day, and often sees local schoolgirls compete for the crown in honour of Flora, the Roman goddess.

But where does maypole dancing come into all this?

Maypole dancing is another tradition celebrated on May Day, and is seen as a way of saying farewell to winter. Even though summer does not begin until June, May Day is a celebration of things coming to life.

Enjoy your weekend.
