If you are planning to have Christmas at home this year, then now is your last chance to give your living room and perhaps the guest bedroom a quick makeover. Rich Autumn colours will always give a warm welcome feel to a room, adding to the festive feel. Often all that may be needed is perhaps altering a kitchen roller blind to something more vibrant like the Tamara Deep Red Roller Blind or perhaps the Vivacious Ruby Roman Blind will make the difference between a drab and an exciting bedroom window treatment.

Despite the recession we have had a record year on our sales, particularly for the Swish Mix and Match range curtain poles and curtain pole accessories. This is quite understandable due to the quality of the product and the incredible range of curtain finials. It is also very easy to make any of the metal curtain poles in the range into a bay window curtain pole, just with the simple addition of the bay window corner joint. Many modern homes include a bay window in their design with the bay at one end and then perhaps a conventional window at the other end of the room which is normally the dining area. It is now possible to have the same curtain pole at both windows with this simple adaption - so why not break away from convention and fit a modern brass curtain pole such as the Swish Swirl Trumpet 28mm Curtain Pole Set or for a more traditional window finish the Swish Sandstone Ball 28mm Curtain Pole Set.

Bedroom curtain poles in modern homes will still need to look feminine and again there is something for every taste - the Swish Mix and Match 28mm Wire and Clear Beaded Oval Finial for example will add a touch of romance to the windows, whereas for the more assertive masculine look, try the Swish Mix and Match 28mm Black Basket Weave Ball Finial

We now have our new navigation, including colour mapping, to help you to make your selection more easily. We have extended our categories on the navigation so that every product is shown in every colour, so if for example you are looking for a brass curtain pole, then all the different variations of brass colour options will be shown, helping to reduce the amount of time spent scrolling through the products before you find which one is perfect for you.

It only remains to say thank you for your support this year - and

Everyone at Poles and Blinds sends their best wishes for a

VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR
