Designing and Planning an Inviting Hallway

Hallways can be the most exciting as well as challenging rooms to decorate.  The entrance and hallways set the mood for the rest of the house.  Most importantly first impressions count so you want to get it just right.  The decor should be stylish and welcoming without being overpowering.  The shape of hallways can be awkward and one has to make the best use of the space available. We have perfect pieces from our French Furniture collections for the purpose.  Out hall room furniture collection offers you an array of commodes, console table's , Bureaus and seating.

Roses Deco Console and Mirror £2500


Some sort of console and mirror or perhaps a commode with a mirror above are ideal storage solution.  The mirror gives an illusion of space and proves useful for giving your appearance a final check before you leave home . A bureau is also a versatile piece that can be used in a hallway. 
Gilt Console Table with white marble top £985 from our gold French furniture Range.
Arlequin French Commode in Black and Ivory £1600
Belle Bureau £1450



If you have the space, a chair,(better still a French chairs ) or a bench in the hallway are also functional pieces of furniture. A cheerful and well decorated hallway makes walking into your home a pleasure. Put extra effort and creativity in decorating this area.

Flower Bench with Storage £600
Chippendale corner chair £400
Chippendale 2 seater bench £800




Every Girl needs a decent dressing table, somehow the top of a chest of drawers or a window sill are not quite the same.
Like all French Furniture there are various styles and periods to choose from. One thing to keep in mind is the functionality and the storage you need. The dressing tables given below are unmistakably feminine in design and ooze glamour.  Some come with a mirrored top to allow you to display your makeup. 
I can just imagine how lovely the reflection of perfumes, assortment of makeup and scented lotions would look mixed with glints of light from an overhead chandelier.

Once you have it you cannot imagine ever doing without it. Pictured above is a triple mirrored table  in the fabulous kidney shape and of course 3 secret drawers at the base of the table.

Large mirror is a must, Silver is the in colour of the season, Our Muted Silver range is finished in painstakingly hand applied silver leaf.

Another firm favorite is the triple mirrored dressing table in Ivory finish.
Ornately carved table with 3 secret drawers and a kidney shaped top.

French Furniture Fit for Royalty

French Furniture Fit for Royalty 

Our designers have excelled themselves with our new bedroom range fit for a King or should we say an Emperor.

The center piece of this collection is the bed which is specially crafted and meticulously hand carved and then finished in gold leaf with very slight distressing to give depth to the carving.
This bed like all our French style beds is made entirely from mahogany and takes over Four weeks to carve and further 10 days to apply gold leaf. Only then it is ready to be upholstered in the most sumptuous 
of velvet.  The finished article is a work of art that will give you joy and pleasure for years to come.

The Empress Bed

The chaise longue built to compliment this bed has elegant curves and is again hand carved and finished in gold leaf.

Josephine Chaise Longue


This beautiful bedside table is a good companion for the Empress bed
