As well as these personal items, make use of the many accessories available.

Tassel Tie-backs
Instead of fabric tie-backs indulge in a pair of tassel tie-backs. They are available in a multitude of colour combinations and styles.

Trimmings
Enhance your furnishings with borders, tassel fringes, cords and ropes. Single or multicouloured versions are available.

Cushions
Add a touch of colour or contrast, emphasize a theme or add interest. Make them from the same fabric as your curtains or upholstery. Buy ready made cushions, perhaps with a motif or a suggestion of your interest or pastime.

Rugs
Hand made rugs are unique in the world of furnishings. The designs and colours have a language all their own, They introduce a completely different culture and lifestyle to your home, yet when carefully chosen will integrate effortlessly with your furnishings.

Mirrors
