We were struck by how striking patterns and bright colours (think orange at Decorex) punctuated the displays at last year’s autumn home interiors shows, as the movers and shakers in the industry put their markers down for this year’s hot trends and hues.

Blind cord safety

This sort of accident strikes indiscriminately - regardless of wealth or [...]

Blackout roman blinds in Bath
With the nights growing ever shorter, our little ones are surging into our bedrooms earlier every morning, and taking longer to get to sleep in the evening, and so we collectively turn our thoughts to how we can make their bedrooms a little more conducive to sleepy time. So we turn to our Bath Consultant [...]
Monochrome or Pastel?
“Nothing adds drama to your decor like a monochrome palette” says Katrina Burroughs in today’s Sunday Times. She starts her article by saying that she’s open to being thrilled by the pastels that are dominating this spring’s interiors collections, but then lambasts their “wan, sugery hues” for making a drama out of coffee spots and [...]

Roman blinds for square bay windows – plan carefully for a stunning result
Roman blinds in square bay windows are a tricky proposition. The most obvious problem is that the folds of the side blinds will, without careful positioning, clash with those of the central blind when fully raised – and if you leave a gap between the blinds to counteract this, the chances are there will be [...]

We faced a fairly typical situation with a client in Clapham just before Christmas – who wanted a window treatment for their kitchen bifolds. The total width of the doors was 3.8metres which included a stacking space of 60cms. [...]

Wave headed sheer curtains for London Fashion Week
As we bid farewell to London Fashion Week for another year, we reflect back on a week where Moghul was touched by a little bit of fashion greatness. A couple of weeks ago we had a call from an award winning London fashion house. The brief was to curtain the wall of their Shoreditch showroom [...]
A Cotswolds Conundrum – the ultimate dormer window challenge
Last Monday saw the Moghul fitting team heading down to the Cotswolds to two lovely period properties in Garford and Alvescot – and as is so typical with such period cottages, some very tricky dormer windows to dress.
