An ordinary enquiry generated from our website for our Dragonfly Branch wall art. In the words of our customer this is what she thought...

"You went (almost) to the ends of the earth to get it to me and I truly appreciate that. Few merchants would go to so much trouble for a complete stranger...especailly one on the other side of the pond. Much appreciation for a wonderful product and a shipping job slendidly done"

INTERIOR DESIGN TOP TIPS

Here are few of our favourite top tips for making a new statement in your home.

Black & White Photography

Showcase a group of black & white photographs with similar subjects or themes on your walls to create a stunning arrangement that is both sleek and striking. For maximum impact frame your pictures in matt black or white frames.

Make a Splash

Colourful prints are especially eye catching when displayed against white, cream, grey, tan or neutral coloured walls. Choose bold colours that blend together well like reds & oranges, pinks & purples. You'll be amazed how a room can be transformed with some splashes of colour. Pick colours from your existing curtains or cushion covers to pull your room together.

Odd Makes Sense

One golden room is to always remember to display items in 3's or 5's. From small mirrors to vases the impact is simple but stylish.

New trader comes to market...

Talk in the town suggests Newport Indoor market is failing? That it isn't well supported and the outlook for survival pretty bleak!

Yet for one new trader - Home Inspirations – a traditional market town known for it's style and quality, was the perfect location to set up in and welcomes new faces to pop in and see just what market life has to offer.

As well as fruit & veg, fish,  cakes & sweets and even a hardware stall there are also beautiful hand painted pots, handmade jewellery, stationery and even antique and collectables but bringing something very different to the market – Home Inspirations specialises in modern metal wall art and adding finishing touches to your home without costing a fortune and not compromising on quality.

Trader Michelle Lewnes said “Everyone has really made us feel very welcome within the market and customers who came to see us during our first weekend of trading  have since been back bringing along their friends and family. The metal wall art in particular which is suitable for the home or garden has been very popular, there really is something to suit every taste. The market still needs support to survive  and for this very reason many market traders have introduced weekly special offers or star buys but the main issue appears to be that people just don't know or have forgotten about the market, which is a real shame, so we would love  to invite the people of Newport back through the market gates once again”

Newport Indoor Market is open every Friday and Saturday 8.30am – 3.30pm
