Any ideas for Morris & Co style curtains?

I’m decorating our snug and would love to have Morris & Co Acanthus Tapestry curtains, however at over £100 a metre for the fabric alone they are out of our reach. I’ve been searching high and low for similar style curtains or fabric at a more affordable price but have had no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas as to fabric brands that have ranges of large, bold, arts & crafts style prints in earthy colours?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Comments (4)That sounds great. You can add the colours in through cushions, rug or wall art. I would personally stay away from the yellow lighting as it is on the picture. If you want a yellow lighting go for table lamps with yellow base rather than the shade. Also when you are choosing the fabrics, consider texture, not just plain. You can really express your personality through those. I would also try to balance the colours with a hint of orange. But this all will depend on the final choices you will make and how you will put the scheme together. Don't be afraid of adding colours into your scheme. There are no rules. Some work with 2 or 3 but I like working with 5 or even 6. Good luck!...See MoreNeed suggestions for net curtain ideas
Comments (38)Well, i'm still on the hunt for blinds! i found another online store who do a really nice light voile: http://www.tuiss.co.uk/roller-blinds/1951/maglia-cashmere.htm but again they cant do a blind big enough for my living room window. I did have a consultation with Hillary's blinds - the quote is good but the fabric the sheerest fabric they have is sill quite heavy but right now this is the only feasible option. I'm really gutted i have to compromise on the material but it's better to have the same material in all the rooms than different! Still - if anyone has come across any other place please do share :o)...See MoreAny more ideas anyone?
Comments (1)Love these colours so much! A nice vertical anthracite designer radiator would go great with this colour scheme - but then we would say that! http://www.bestheating.com/radiators/designer-radiators/anthracite-designer-radiators/l/filter-style:vertical-designer-radiator.html They are becoming ever more popular in kitchens because of their space-saving quality, and they are so much more of a design accessory these days too! I think that you could pair the blinds and curtains with some coloured under-cabinet LED lights that help to accentuate the colour scheme - but radiators are our thing really, so we would only be really safe recommending the verts! Good luck, cos it appears to be a very exciting project....See MoreAny ideas what to do with this staircase?!!!
Comments (31)My company specialises in renewing and upgrading existing stairs as well as designing and making new ones. Here's a project that we completed at the end of 2016, the first pictures are how the stairs looked when we first visited and the last ones with the glass are how we changed it. Here's the review from our client who was very pleased http://bit.ly/2oYjRFi . All our work is designed and made in house so you don't have to bother with taking templates to a local glazier. As you have seen from the number of replies the range of options are unlimited. Most things can be achieved with the right client and good budget but to avoid spending too much on something you don't need it is important to gain an understanding of how you want the whole house to look; I always request that my clients show me images of things they like, furniture, interiors so that a design can be developed that not only complements the design/ concept of a home but enhances. Depending on your budget, you could make a saving by just renewing the stairs in a design that incorporates a glazed banister and fixes the issues that you are concerned about. Site installation work is far more expensive than just making something from scratch in our workshop. I don't believe you have any problems offering B&B with the stairs as they are as far as Building Regs go. What you should probably take account of though is providing a staircase for the guests that they are comfortable with and feel safe using, if you are certain that all the guests will be fully mobile adults then in the strict reading of the regs your stairs will comply anyway. Building Regs approved document K requires gaps in staircase risers and banisters to be 100 mm or less to provide adequate safety for children. Following this, but also keeping open risers means adding a small downstand underneath the tread to reduce the open riser height. It will also pose problems adding glass to the side of your existing flight because you will have difficulty because there are not convenient points to fix the glass, nor have the carriages - the beams supporting the treads underneath - been designed to carry the additional load from the glass or stair users pressing on it, so additional structure must be added to the carriage to carry the glass, everything is possible but most people have a budget so I must ask you - What is yours?

5 years agoI’ve been really happy with the quality of curtains made by 247 curtains. I chose https://www.247curtains.co.uk/heritage-midnight-made-to-measure-curtains for my victorian drawing room look. Not quite ‘Arts and Crafts’ but might be worth a browse?
