Insperation!

We love looking through glossy interior magazines and keeping an eye on new trends. We love spotting some of the items we sell in the latest issues. We have gathered together some beautiful design ideas to inspire you.

For beautiful Bathrooms like this one go to
Drummonds


 This is a bathroom I could relax in. Bathrooms don't have to be themed or have a nautical/ beach influence instead go for luxury and enjoy some peace and quiet.



We would love to relax in this lounge room with
its natural fibre rug, wooden furniture and accessories
it connects with the outside space making the room
seem larger.








Bring the outside in with some Botanical Cushions. Cushions are an affordable way of updating a room and make a great quick fix.

Large Cushion
£30

Green is a soothing colour perfect for spring.



A mirror is an easy way 
to make a statement in 
a room and can be a 
great focal point if you 
do not have a fireplace. 

This gold sun burst 
mirror looks stunning 
in this green themed 
lounge room.







We always have lots of mirrors in our Bideford stores. If you cant see what you 
are looking for we can always try and source one for you through our suppliers.


     


Small Leaf Sunflower  Mirror
£80
Velvet sofas are popping up a lot at the moment and we love them! They can add drama
 to a room or soften a minimal interior scheme. We say go bold but break up the block
of colour and soften the look with cushions and throws, demonstrated wonderfully with 
the blue sofa in the picture above. 



Purple velvet sofa
£1600
This Purple velvet sofa we have in our Bideford store gets alot of attention.

 Sofas like this can look uber chic in a classically decorated
grand interior as illustrated above .
The key is to stick to two colours, here they have gone for
gold/cream and purple, linking the two colours together
though the cushions.



With some vibrant cushions the
velvet sofa takes on young 
Bohemian vibe.....


round purple cushions
£10


We are always happy to give advice or our opinion so if you need any pointers or just want to tell us about your home make over pop into the shop and see the Just Trio girls!

Why not pop a pic of your finished room on our facebook page we would love to see the finished room.

Wedding Anniversary Guide Part 2

7th Anniversary - Wool / Copper 

We 'LOVE' Jan Constantine and sell a wide range of her beautiful wool felt Textiles and now her new range by Disaster Designs. They make wonderful gifts whatever your budget! 


Red Heart Cushion
£65

    This is a sweet Handmade wool felt cushion that had
    been hand embroidered with love for the one you love. 
    All of Jan Constantine's textiles are made in the UK to 
   the highest quality and are intended to stand the test 
   of time and be 'Heirlooms of the future'.


      These Disaster Design Clip Purses make a thoughtful 
      gift. The heart detail on the front features Jan
      Constantine's signature  wool felt design.
'LOVE' Clip Purse
£22
  8th Anniversary -  Bronze





Stag lamp £125
          



For someone who loves the outdoors and 
country life this lamp with fabric shade would
make an unusual gift.                                               


       








         9th Anniversary- Willow / Pottery 

Our large wicker heart has been very popular  and looks fantastic with a string of
 decorative fairy lights around the edge. 


Large Wicker Heart
£45


We have an extensive array of ceramic lamps and Temple Jars by India Jane
that are well worth a look.........

India Jane Fern Temple Jar
£47.50
       


10th Anniversary - Tin

There is so much in our shops its difficult to get it all on our website so if you are passing through Bideford its well worth popping in to see us. We have lots of metal hearts in all shapes and sizes that make lovely token gifts. I must confess Tin is a difficult one to match a gift to......



How about this Tin Box? You could fill it with keep sakes like photos, menus from your favourite restaurants or love letters.  If you think your partner has a sense of humour why not use a biscuit tin or can of beans to disguise a real treat like that diamond necklace she has always wanted or tickets to a weekend in Paris.

We hope that this Blog has inspired you romantics out there to make your next anniversary that little bit more special.

Wedding Anniversary Gifts

Just Trio is a great place to find extra special anniversary and wedding gifts. Our customers today have inspired us to create this special blog as by coincidence 3 of them were on the hunt for wedding anniversary presents.

Each year has a different theme which can provide guidance when hunting out a gift. We have tried to match each year with a gift from one of our two Bideford stores.


1st anniversary - Paper  (You could cheat and give them one of our gift vouchers)


Disaster Designs coin pouch £15
The 'Letters' range is inspired by love letters



A fun idea we came up with was to use one of Disaster Designs Letters Purses to hold a smaller gift like a piece of jewellery of maybe write a personal message and place it inside. 





2nd anniversary - Cotton


Double Rose Quilt £120


Why not treat that special 
person in your life to a beautiful Quilt. It's something you can both snuggle under and if cared for will last a life time.





3rd anniversary - Leather
This trunk comes as a pair (Number 1 & Number 2)
His and Hers £850


Well if the lady in your life is 
anything like us she would 
love a handbag! What about 
the chaps I hear you cry well
we have a number of 
reconditioned leather trunks 







4th anniversary - flowers/fruit       
                            Linen/ silk
Mixed arrangement in vase £60

     We have lots of beautiful things with   
     floral motifs, and sell some stunning  
     vases.For a contemporary twist on a  
     bunch of flowers how about this  
     stylish arrangement. 



5th anniversary - Wood

We have many antique pieces in our larger store including a pair of stunning early 20th Century Chinese chairs (£640 the pair). There are lots of wooden framed mirrors and lamps adorning the shop so its a real feast for the eyes when you pop in for a browse.



6th anniversary - Sugar/ Sweets

Our contemporary store (Number 21a Mill Street) has lots of Chrome and polished steel pieces that make striking gifts.
