With all the cooler weather we have had lately...I do so love Winter!...the girls have been busy fulfilling the visions of our clients looking to give their home that feel of 'sumptuousness'...and yes..its a word I checked...
With the weather being conducive to extra time at home curled up in front of the fire or heater, more and more we are finding our clients looking for direction and advice on defining their space...
The design team have been working with Lizzo fabrics of late and the below images will give you an idea of why.
To say that the range is completely delectable is an understatement.
All of the looks below can be achieved with guidance from our Design Team.
Call us today on 07 38526002 for all the details, or pop into the showroom, look through our project book and make an appointment....but in the meantime you can drool away on the following and draw inspiration....
