Christmas Gift Ideas - for the HOME
Posted by karen | Filed under Christmas, General News, Interior Trends
The credit crunch has meant many families across the UK are now spending more time at home or forgoing a move to another house in favour of staying in their current home. Expert advisers are recommending home-owners to stay where they are for the time being rather than a stressful (and costly) house move. What this means is that many families are turning to DIY and home decoration in order to spruce up where they live currently.
And one of the best ways to do that is to invest in new pieces of furniture to turn your house into a home. Here we list the top Christmas gift ideas for your home:

Bean bags are great for adding colour
Posted by karen | Filed under General News, Interior Trends
We all know bean bags are great for adding a splash of colour to your rooms - you only need to see what Shilpa Shetty did with her living room to see what a great effect this can have.
However if you don’t want to completely change the colour scheme of your room, bean bags are an excellent way of adding a bit of festive cheer to your living room, playroom or bedroom. Families often splash out on decorations at Christmas time in celebratory colours like red, green or silver (or even hot electric blue which is on trend at the moment). Why stop at just a bit of holly or tinsel?
Adding a splash of vivid red with a Bazaar Bag, a red leather gaming bean bag or even a couple of bean bag cubes would complement any festively decorated living room!
Bean bags in red or green are great for parties or just for the family to enjoy. So get your bean bag now for the Christmas season - and don’t forget we offer free delivery!

73% of UK are regular ‘gamers’
Posted by karen | Filed under Customer Research, Gaming, General News
As published in our previous blog posts, we’ve noted that gaming is becoming socially more acceptable - with family rooms and living rooms actually making space for gaming to take place. This has been confirmed further with a recent survey highlighted by Edge magazine that found 73% of UK citizens regularly play games.
That’s nearly three-quarters of the country taking up a Wii remote or a Xbox controller! Consoles like the PlayStation or the Wii are easily the most popular choice for gamers, however online gaming portals and even the mobile phone also make a popular appearance.
Kids aged 8-12 are most likely to play games regularly while the average teenage boy (aged 13-19) spends 11 hours a week (!) on their console. Up to three-quarters of men aged up to 49 regularly play games, but their regularity tails off once they hit their 50s. Men generally play more than women, however the genders are at their closest during their early adult years between 20-34, with 83% of men and 76% of women regularly playing games.
So if you are stuck for something to buy someone at Christmas you could easily make the assumption that they regularly play some sort of game! A gaming bean bag or even our high-spec i-eX gaming chair would make a great addition to their bedroom or living room. I certainly know what I’m getting my teenage brother this year!

Autumn / Winter 2009 Interior Trends
Posted by karen | Filed under General News, Interior Trends
This season, interiors are seeing some very distinctive trends. Deep, rich colours are on trend with royal purple, cobalt blue and (if you can imagine the colours of a sari) earthy, intense colours of terracotta, greys and brick red.
Also consider bold, patterned prints - geometrical, paisley, graphical - the bigger and bolder the better! But remember to keep your patterned items to one focal point - one wall, one piece of furniture or a rug to really bring your eye to the piece.
Another important trend this season is exaggerated scale. Pick a huge mirror, over-sized furniture, or an enormous headboard. Bean bags are a great way to create a statement piece as they are big, bold and often can become a central part of a living room. Pick siren-red Bazaar Bag or a deep blue or terracotta XL cotton bean bag to really make a statement for this season.
