Ahoy Sailor! Nautical insperation

Just Trio is located on the beautiful North Devon coast line so its hard not to be influenced by all things nautical. This blog showcases some great design ideas that we have come across and some of the seaside inspired items in our Bideford shop, enjoy!

    Red White and Blue Accent

There is always something to be said for keeping it simple, a white minimal backdrop for these bold cushions really shows them off. The quirky feature rope light would be lost in a busier more cluttered room design. The scheme is softened with the addition of a natural fibre rug and wooden coffee table. We have some great quilts and cushions in our Bideford store and online that would be perfect if you are inspired by this look.

Navy Star Cushion £18.50

Jan Constantine Cushion £80

Marine Cushion £19.50

Check out this creative use for old ores! If you think outside the box lots of every day objects can make a stunning feature when grouped together.

Why not get creative, here are some affordable ways to inject the seaside into any room. 

This is a quick and easy idea and one the little ones can help with too!
Cover glass wine bottles with rope/string to create simple but effective decorative objects for your room. They can even be used as candle holders on a dinner table. If you want to add some colour dip the string in paint and let it dry before sticking it around the bottle. This will give it a stripy light house look.










Another idea that can keep big and little hands entertained is this gorgeous shell mirror. You can buy jars of more exotic shells from a lot of high street shops now or why not take the dog for a walk on the beach and collect your own. Just stick the shells on to a cheep frame or one you want to jazz up.


Quilts a brilliant way to inject pattern and colour into a bedroom. We are always getting new quilts designs in our Bideford Shop and the nautical patterns are very popular here are a few that we have in stock at the moment.

Mothers Day is fast approaching and its a great opportunity to do something special for our mums after all we only have one.

There are many different types of mums out there...Scatty, bossy,caring, fussing, pushy, forgetfully, chocoholic, nagging, generous, shoulder to cry on, embarrassing, master chef, supportive, ditsy, stressed out, fashionista, babysitter, taxi driver, glamour puss, best friend. 

If your mum is any thing like mine she is a mix of all of these things making her one of a kind!

Mothers Day is a good opportunity to show her that we are grateful for all the little things. Here are a few gift ideas to get you started....
