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!

Gaming is more sociable than ever before
Posted by karen | Filed under Gaming, General News
When you think of gaming, you often get a stereotyped image of a darkened boys’ bedroom with 13 year olds playing on their Xbox or PlayStation console. However now with the launch of the Nintendo Wii a couple of years ago, gaming is becoming more socially acceptable than ever before, as noted by gaming site Platform Nation. With the Wii in particular, you can play games alongside your gran or your little sister - both older and younger generations are getting more involved.
Even more recently, there has been a trend towards social networking gaming sites - both enabling gamers to play games as well as sharing cheats, hints, tips and even bragging about their achievements! So now with older and younger generations more likely to be using games and more widespread media socially discussing games, gaming has certainly come a long way from grubby boys in their bedrooms.
This trend has spread into the family arena, with parents not only taking part in gaming but actually providing space and furniture to encourage gaming. The family living room often has a gaming chair or bean bag to play games in, while certainly most playrooms or kids lounge areas will have some kid-friendly furniture like a gaming bean bag! A gaming bean bag adds an element of informality to a living space, and while the great range of colours can even enhance the room theme. Buy your gaming bean bag from BeanBagBazaar and encourage a social gaming space in your living room.

New range of bean bag colours in stock
Posted by karen | Filed under General News, New Products
Bean Bag Bazaar have just launched a new range of colours for their autumn bean bag collection. The strong and water-resistant 100% polyester bean bag brights range is now available in popular purple, graphite grey and soft emerald green. But don’t forget that we’re always in stock of our most popular colours like red, black, aqua, pink and royal blue bean bags.
Our new colour range has been flying off the shelves so far, with graphite grey taking a surprising lead. The lovely grey bean bag is a strong and practical colour so would suit all guys and teenagers. It also goes with this season’s monochrome trend!
We’re predicting that the purple bean bags will be a top seller in the run up to Christmas too as the deep royal (Cadbury!) purple is totally on-trend and has been featuring in the big department stores like Debenhams, John Lewis and House of Fraser in their homeware and bed linen ranges for a while now.
The new purple, grey and emerald green colours are available in Bazaar bean bags, the popular gaming bean bag recliners, and the massive XL bean bags (pictured), as well as in the children’s bean bag ranges. Snap yours up today to avoid missing out!

How to brighten up a student bedroom
Posted by karen | Filed under General News
It’s that time of year again when those fresh-faced students head off to the wide, wide world of university with hopes and dreams of university life and the excitement of Fresher’s Week.
And are immediately confronted with a faceless dorm - an uninviting box room, usually with drab surroundings, facing onto a brick wall or overlooking the bins at the back of the university. However you can make it feel more like home very quickly!
Follow our Top 10 Tips for brightening a student bedroom:
1) Bring plenty of photographs of friends and family from home - this will bring a smile to your face especially if you’re feeling a little homesick
2) Buy a couple of posters to cover up the blank walls - remember the blu-tack! Posters of your favourite films, locations, and celebs will cheer up a bare wall
3) Bring your own bed linen - there’s nothing like your own bedding, pillows and duvets to make you feel at home
4) Buy some bean bag furniture - Swap your boring-yet-functional university furniture with a couple of cool and bright bean bags - creating a super comfy area to relax, chill out or maybe even read a textbook if you’re feeling studious! These Bazaar Bags or Indoor/Outdoor Gaming beanbags would be perfect.
5) Take a small TV with you - a portable TV or DVD player will help you relax and will probably make you friends very quickly especially when Eastenders is on!
6) Persuade your mum to treat you to some fresh flowers - you probably won’t be able to afford them throughout the year but a vase of flowers really freshens up a room and brings of splash of colour and scent
7) Buy some cheap cushions - visit a trip to Ikea or Matalan to stock up on cheap and cheerful cushions and throws to soften those drab colours
8 ) Fly your flag - bring your national flag or a flag of your football team to pin up on your wall - a great talking point and also helps you to belong to part of a community
9) Create some door messages - welcome your visitors with a note on a white board or chalkboard . You can leave messages for your friends in your hall (some suggestions: back at 4.30 or don’t steal my milk!)
10) Improve your lighting - a stark ceiling light saps energy and vibrancy from any colour scheme, so collect a couple of funky desk lamps or a bedside table lamp which will help create atmosphere
