Hanging your curtains high above the window frame gives a luxurious appearance, accentuating the height of the ceiling and allowing space for the window frames. Curtains that extend adequately beyond the window frame provide better thermal and draft protection and light control.
•
Choosing a curtain rod that extends either side of the window frame ensures plenty of natural light can spill into your room when the curtains are open.

So how do you get the most out of your wood fireplace?
•
A beautiful wood fire is about more than warmth and ambience — how you use and maintain it can make a real difference to its efficiency, safety and performance.
•
For a cleaner, hotter burn, start with well-seasoned, dry hardwood and plenty of dry kindling. Keep the firebox loosely stacked so the fire has room to breathe, and avoid burning rubbish, treated timber or anything painted or plastic.
•
Once your fire is going, keep the flame bright and lively rather than letting it smoulder. A smoky or sluggish fire can mean incomplete combustion and less efficient heating.
•Importantly, don’t forget the chimney. Regular cleaning and maintenance helps reduce the risk of chimney fires while keeping your fireplace performing at its best.
• With the right fuel, airflow and care, your wood fireplace can deliver what it should do best — warmth, comfort and that unmistakable winter ambience.

Textured grass cloth wall covering for this beautiful, luxe bedroom creates a feature wall that also works to anchor the bed. For this project, our client had a unique idea to hang the paper sideways… whilst our wall paperer scratched his head wondering how he could execute the idea, our Director of Design and Decoration Anne could see the brilliance of his suggestion, for the use of the textured lines in a vertical manner creates the illusion of a taller ceiling.

A beautiful, calming bedroom doesn’t have to be pale, minimal or completely neutral.
Some of the most restful spaces are created through layered colour, texture and depth — where every element feels considered, but nothing feels overly matched.
Soft, tonal colour palettes create a sense of quiet, while deeper shades bring warmth and dimension. Layered textiles, natural materials and subtle variations in tone add softness and depth, creating a space that feels cocooning rather than flat.
It’s less about choosing a single “calming” colour, and more about creating harmony between the colours, textures and materials in the room.
This beautiful bedroom was created by T&B Director of Design & Decoration, Anne Hogarth for a Blackheath client.

“We recently purchased blinds from Thornton & Blake and we are very happy with the product quality. Anne has been very helpful throughout the whole process and even though our blinds were delayed due to unforeseen supply chain issues, they were able to arrange temporary blinds to minimize inconvenience. The installation team was also very friendly and professional. All in all, we had a very positive experience with Anne and T&B.” ~ Baran, via Google
