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.

All items shown are available from Strawberry House Interiors in Castle Donington.

Valentines Gifts - for her!

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.

A Piece of Art
Why not search for a beautiful painting or piece of art that she can display in the home? We love fabulous company More Than Words, who provide personalised bespoke typography, like the beautiful piece picture above.

A Flower Arrangement
Forget supermarket (or worse, petrol station!) bouquets, we're talking beautiful, bespoke flower arrangements, incorporating her favourite flowers and colours.

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

A Framed Photograph
Choose your favourite photograph of the two of you or of a happy memory and display it in a pretty photo frame. We love this one, which can hold 9 images for a fantastic photo montage. Available instore from Strawberry House Interiors, Castle Donington.

A Bespoke Handmade Card
We love the handmade cards from Golden Apple Designs - all cards are unique and personal to you, and available in your choice of design and colours so you can create a truly personal card.

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.
