Merry Christmas from Homes Direct 365…

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

From all of us here at Homes Direct 365 we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends over this festive holiday, and look forward to seeing you back here in 2012.

We’ve had a great year and continue to expand, and we will have many new exciting developments to inform you about in the new year including 3 new fantastic Baroque ranges that we feel from how stunning they look could easily reach or surpass the popularity of La Rochelle.

We thank you all for your continued custom and interest in Homes Direct 365…Merry Christmas!

Our Staff Pick Their Favourites!

Staff Favourites

This week to give a personal touch to the newsletter and give you a glimpse into some of the experienced opinions and thoughts of our staff, we’ve gathered together a brief sample of what each of their favourites are, and why it’s their favourite.

Dealing with the items on a daily basis and having to be versed in all styles of furniture to properly advise our customers, their word carries a little more weight to it than perhaps just a simple product description can. Many of us have various Homes Direct 365 furniture in our own homes, so we do truly stand by the passion we have for the items:

:: Michael ::
Favourite?: Bordeaux Collection
Why?: I love the intricate detailing on the Bordeaux, the bed especially… so much so I bought the BD4 (Bordeaux Double Bed) for my own bedroom at home.

:: Claire ::
Favourite?: RU8 (Romano Mirrored Console Table) / Mirrored Romano
Why?: I prefer a more contemporary and stylish feel. The Romano Mirrored Console table fits perfectly with the theme and feel of my other furniture.

:: Tanya ::
Favourite?: Mirrored Furniture / Victorian Collection
Why?: I think the Mirrored furniture oozes style and sophistication. I own an RU25 (Sorrento Mirrored Dressing Table) but if I had the room space I would absolutely get the RU8 (Romano Mirrored Console Table). I also really like the Victorian collection, and again would buy it if it would all fit into my room.

:: Kim ::
Favourite?: Paris Collection
Why?: I like that The Paris Collection is very elegant and understated in comparison to some of the more elaborate designs.

:: Sue ::
Favourite?: Victorian Collection
Why?: I live in a Victorian house and therefore think the style would be the perfect fit for my home.

:: Stuart ::
Favourite?: La Rochelle Black
Why?: The La Rochelle Black has a chique elegance to it, and I think the photo’s show the range off in a stylish way.

:: Lorraine ::
Favourite?: La Rochelle Silver
Why?: It has the perfect amount of ornate carvings combined with a modern feel. It’s a great combination of antique furniture meets hints of contemporary.

:: Debbie ::
Favourite?: Mirrored Romano / Victorian Collection
Why?: Victorian collection is a classic, traditional and on the verge of antique style but with modern touch. If I had a bigger bedroom I would buy the set.

Beautiful photographs of our flagship ranges of furniture ranges are all there in stunning high resolution, it really allows for the quality of the intricate and ornate carvings to be appreciated and the grand scale of the furniture when all together in a room shot. In the spirit of Flickr and the great enthusiastic responses we get from some of our pleased customers, we’d love to make a folder on there showing off some of your own photographs of our furniture in your home. If you have the La Rochelle collection proudly displayed, take a picture and send it in!

New Government! Hello Mr Cameron

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Well, its the end of an era! 13 years worth! So its good-bye Labour, and hello Conservative party! It doesn’t matter what side of the fence you sit on, this election will go down in history as one of the most controversial of recent times! Whether you follow politics or not, you will have found it hard to hear anything but in the last week, and I’m sure there’s plenty more to come in the coming weeks!

David Cameron

David Cameron

I wonder if Mr Cameron, our new Prime Minister as confirmed by Her Majesty herself, is a fan of French furniture? If he will choose to furnish the famous no. 10 Downing Street with classic furniture collections in-keeping with the long, traditional history associated with the property, or try to bring it into the 21st Century (as all politicians seem to claim in their policies!).

We’d love to hear what your stance is on the election, who’s in power, or simply how you think David Cameron will decorate number 10!
