October 12th, 2011 Andrea Mundell-Bowen 2 comments

GlamGrasshighresWhat’s current in interior design, loads of  beautiful, lovely stuff. . .  but the one I want to show you images of is the vinyl wall coverings . . they are so many fantastic ones on the market these days. They don’t only look great they also feel great with beautiful textured feel and all.

I love them so much that we have  a featured wall with wall vinyl in our Andreafay Interior Design office in Muswell Hill, North London.

They look beautiful, they feel lovely and they help to make the room warm, cozy, bright and cheerful. A most definite statement!

LatticeImagine this in you beautiful home. . . I sure can.

Loft Conversions

August 16th, 2011 Andrea Mundell-Bowen 2 comments

Transforming unused loft space into an attractive accommodation, adds size and value to your property. Your unused loft has the potential to be the most spacious and attractive room in your home whilst adding significant value to your property.

Our team at ANDREAFAY interiors and archictecural designs will be happy to answer any questions you have regarding any interior or architecual project.

Here are just a few photos to share with you for consideration if you are planning to convert your loft space into living space.

As the image above displays, having a loft conversion does not have to be for the interior, it can be an extension from the interior to create a dynamic visual.  What I find interesting about this conversion, is how the loft becomes an individual section of the structure, but still maintains a bond with the main building.

The architectural elements of the old buildings carry so much visual interest that they become the design of the home or at least a very strong design inspiration.

This loft space is converted into a spacious bedroom; it has large windows that draw light into the room, this allows the space to look larger than what it is.

The Wonderful World Of Curtains, Blinds and Window Treatments

I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me . . .  Remember That Song?

cottage-accessories-window-valances

Windows are never complete without curtains, shutters or window blinds, imagine having a window without curtains, shutters or blinds?

Don’t you feel very bare, and the room looks plain or naked? Yes, you know what I mean, you feel someone outside is watching you and that’s not a comfortable feeling at all. I think that window dressings are very important when it comes to the complete look of your room so here are some tips on how to find the best window dressings for you.

First, you have to consider the shape of the room and the deco the room has. How do you want your windows to serve its purpose? You could go with curtains if you have a large enough room or blinds or shutters for a smaller or mid size room, or even just a blind and a swag thrown across. If you are looking for something that gives privacy inside your home, then you should get blinds that are non-transparent and these can also be used with curtains. If you want your window dressings to control the lighting, a more transparent dressing like Muslin or Voiles are recommended.

Second, you have to select the material of your choice that will suit your deco. They are thousands of beautiful fabrics on the market with different prices ranging from £500.00 per metre – just £19.00 a metre depending on you taste, style and budget.

The next step would be to decide the shape of your window and the style you need to compliment your room.

Whatever window dressings you decided to have made and install on your windows, you should always keep in mind that they should make you feel comfortable, homely and provide privacy for you and your family.

They are many experts out there to help you with your window treatments. They will come to measure your windows, show you samples and make and install in a turnaround of just three weeks.

We enjoy the beauty of making and installing curtains, shutters and blinds of all kinds wooden or fabric and we are offering a 10% off out original prices for the month of July.

All it takes is a phone call and we will do the rest for you to enjoy in the comfort of your home, office, school, restaurant, club or bar.
