What is happening with this weather ??  One day, pretty sunny, dare to take boots off – next day they forecast SNOW up north !!

Anne is off on holiday to Tenerife – haven’t heard anything but keep looking up weather – it seems decidedly better than I am having.

Roll on a week on Saturday when I will have to listen to how she had to sit in the shade to avoid the heat – lucky b!*&%LS  !!!!!

Now that the much awaited “The Great Gatsby” has hit our screens we are all loving the 20s style, embellished dresses, pale silks, rich velvets, mirror finishes and sparkling chandeliers.

You don’t have to  own your own Long Island Mansion !

Be adventurous and go “Gatsby” in a big way or simply accessorise your existing scheme by introducing mirror, sumptuous velvet or glitzy cushions and bed linens, shiny crystal lighting or lustrous pearl effect wallpapers.  Candlelight is the ultimate accessory in a glitzy room.

Hope you love the images below to achieve the “Gatsby” look and visit Gilding the Lily Interiors or give us a call to see how we can help you bring the look together.

Hi, just received even more designer wall paper books but this time for our “shyer” clients who love the new GLITTER trend but feel it is just a step too far from creams and bieges !  Come in and have a look, get some inspiration from the latest Frozen Fusion collection from Belgium.  Ultra modern colour palette, glittering crystal motifs, sexy curves and shimmering florals .  53cms x 10m rolls range in price from £56.50 – £62.75 per roll remember most feature walls only require 2 rolls.

Just had a great bank holiday weekend, busy, mostly wall paper sales driven in from this brilliant website which I have to thank Jacqueline Morrison for and also had three different couples in complimenting us on our service and saying they feel we have the best wall paper selection in Glasgow !!!!

 

At last we have received 12  new wallpaper books which were ordered from the latest Scottish Interiors show.  There is something for everyone from contemporary, foils, traditional to the WOW factor, all are priced between £29 and £39 per roll.   Another 2 “top of the line” books are also in stock with beautiful glitter papers, both contemporary and elegant to choose from, both of which have had a fabulous reception from our clients.

Is it a coincidence or are John Lewis copying our little interiors store for ideas !!!!

Avoid parking chaos and jam packed pavements, visit our interiors shop within Focal Point Fires, in436  Hillington Road, Glasgow G52 4BL to view same items.

We also stock Orla Kiely Home for Harlequin wallpaper book priced from £49 – £59 per 10m x 52cms roll.  Delivery time is just 2 – 3 working days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also stock Eames chairs.  The Eames DSW is a timeless  iconic piece of furniture.  Our Eames chairs are a quality reproduction sticking to the original specifications including materials and design attributes.

Constructed from high quality polypropylene they are manufactured to be suitable for heavy domestic and commercial use  so will easily withstand a boisterous  young family’s wear and tear. Chairs priced at £112

 

Had a great day at the above show.  Met lots of “colleagues” in the industry and had a good time catching up.  All “fabric booked out”  by the end of the afternoon – although Anne and I seemed to be one of the last to be “thrown out” after 6pm !!  Nice restaurant although think the food and “stoor” on window ledges let down the 4 star Dunblane Hydro.  Anyway knuckles dragging the ground laden down with books, freebies and catalogues as we made our way back to the car park.  Watch this space, have around 20 new wallpaper books on order and quite a few fabric books also.  Tell you what I was out like a light last night !!

Gilding the Lily Interiors are looking forward to attending the above showcase at Dunblane Hydro  which is the largest event of its kind in the U.K..  This is our sixth year attending and we have a great day exploring all the stands of exhibitors with new fabrics, wall coverings, furniture, lighting etc.  All the major players will be attending and its also a great chance to have a “chin wag” with other designers over a coffee – ok a large gin and tonic !!

We will bring you all the latest trends and gossip from the show on our return.

50 Shades of Grey, this year’s must have colour trend looks fab for christmas by adding that simple scandanavian touch using rich ruby reds, secret is keep it simple !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elegant and simple – understated crisp white table linen as a base, build up using simple white china,  silver cutlery, clear glassware but add a punch by introducing gold or silver in a table centrepiece (remember keep it low so everyone at the table can see one another) knapkins and knapkin rings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simple touch to add a wow to a dining room is attaching sating ribbon band around dining chairs and hang some fresh holly, acorns and even a snowflake card with the diner’s name on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not all of us can have such a sophisticated dining room to entertain in but take some of the elements and introduce them into your own room.  Sparkling crystal glassware, maybe introduce a smaller chandalier over the table for an upmarket touch, use lots of fresh holly and candles in mantlepiece displays or on a sideboard with matching console lights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whatever style you opt for, Gilding the Lily Interiors hope that you and your family and friends all have a wonderful christmas dinner, followed by an obligitary christmas snooze in front of the tv !
