A chic, stylish bathroom.

In the quest for a stylish home, the bathroom can sometimes be overlooked and neglected.
Here are our top tips for a chic bathroom in which you can relax and unwind...

























Colours
Top colours for a bathroom are pastel greens and blues. Greens in particular are very relaxing. Soft, light grey can also have a calming effect.

Flowers
Display fresh pastel coloured flowers in large jug for a pretty shabby chic display.

Candles
Candles create a soft, soothing ambiance, perfect for a long relaxing bubble bath. Scented candles with also add to the tranquil environment.

Mirrors
Many bathrooms can be quite small, so a large mirror will bring light into the room, making the space appear brighter and feel larger.

Accessories
Accessorise the room with unique and interesting items such as this pretty soap dish and 'Bathrobes' hook.

Storage
Keep your bathroom tidy and organised with co-ordinating furniture and drawers - this rattan set is perfect for storing towels, toiletries and other items.

Valentines Day is just around the corner, so check out our gift guide below for gifts that your wife or girlfriend will love.

Forget 'sexy' underwear and cheap chocolates, we're here to recommend thoughtful gifts that will make her smile and let her know how much you care.










A Beautiful Piece of Furniture or Mirror
This may sound boring to you, but if she's anything like us your wife or partner loves beautiful things for her home - treat her to a gorgeous new mirror, like the stunning vintage style one pictured, or a beautiful new desk or dressing table. She'll love rearranging the room to incorporate the new piece, and it will make her smile each time she sees it.

The Blossom Tree Boutique Florists in Melbourne, Derbyshire have a gorgeous selection, and will help you to put together the perfect bouquet. We love the one pictured, which comes with a gorgeous pastel pink vase.










Breakfast In Bed
Treat her to a delicious, homemade breakfast in bed - we suggest toasted bagels with smoked salmon a scrambled egg, or yummy Eggs Benedict. Check out BBC Food for recipe help, or try Gordon Ramsay's Eggs Benedict Recipe. If you think you'll struggle with the Hollandaise sauce, there's no harm in cheating, M&S do a great ready made version1

The Perfect Afternoon Tea!

Hello!

We're in that in-between time between Christmas & Easter which can be a bit boring and dreary. A great way to brighten up these bleak wintry months is with fantastic parties and social occasions, and what could be nicer than enjoying a pretty afternoon tea with friends to brighten up a miserable January day!

Here are our essential items for a beautiful, sophisticated Afternoon Tea:















Tea
The most obvious item required for an afternoon tea! Choose traditional tea or select a variety of specialty teas for an extra sophisticated occasion - Lapsang Souchong, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Assam, Ceylong or Darjeeling.

A Pretty Tea Set
Tea should be served in a real china teapot with china cups and saucers.

Cakes and Sandwiches
From macaroons to dainty cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, afternoon tea is the perfect time to treat yourself to an indulgent treat. Display your wares on a beautiful cake plate or tiered stand.

Flowers
Feminine flowers such as tea roses, peonies and sweet peas in pastel colours are the perfect blooms to adorn your afternoon tea table.

Pop into Strawberry House in Castle Donington to view our selection of pretty items, including vases, cake stands and so much more!

Strawberry House ♥'s Shabby Chic!

Here at Strawberry House we love Shabby Chic style - beautiful distressed or antique furniture, combined with floral fabrics and furnishings, soft pastel colours and pretty feminine flowers.

Here are a selection of items that we recommend to help you achieve a beautiful Shabby Chic interior in your own home:

Furniture
A handpainted dresser in which to store your collection of stunning plates and crockery can make a fantastic focal point in a shabby chic kitchen, whilst this gorgeous chest of drawers would work well in any room - display a pretty vase of tea roses on top of it, or place in the hallway with a vintage telephone.











Lighting
Add a touch of elegance to your room with a glamourous antique gold chandelier.











Accessories
Finish off your interior with interesting objects and vintage finds.

Jugs are a fantastic accessory for the kitchen or bathroom, and are a great way of displaying pretty blooms and flowers.

An ornate photo frame is a fantastic way to complete your look and display sentimental photographs - why not find some old black and white photographs for a chic vintage look.











No interior is complete without a gorgeous mirror. Choose an ornate mirror in white rather than gold, to keep the look simple and stylish.

A vintage floral cake stand is a pretty and feminine accessory for the kitchen - when you're not using it for afternoon tea why not use it as a cute alternative to a fruit bowl.












All of these items are available instore, and we have a fantastic 25% off sale on selected items at the moment so why not pop in and find a beautiful item for home.
