As we welcome in the New Year we thought we would take one last look back at our highlights from 2011.

• We started 2011 with trips to the trade shows in Germany and Paris, taking in design after design and plotting our next moves for the upcoming year.
• Our curtain poles cut the mustard! The April edition of Homes and Gardens featured our mimosa pole with honey lunar, a striking combination.
• The colour book -  a first for Walcot House, we created a small catalogue insert that was added to the May edition of Homes and Gardens, a great response followed and we are still receiving comments today.
• The Additions Range – We launched our 2011 product range in September, four collections of tracked and wrapped faux leather and suede poles hit the market. Six new lacquered pole colours were also added to our current range softening out our vibrant palette with earthy tones and warm greys.
• Five new travel samples cases were added to our ever growing fleet, while showroom displays where updated and re designed.
• The moonstones finials with matching rivets made an appearance in a Homes and Gardens room shot proving that they not only look great above windows but     doorways too.
• “Little gems” our glass ellipse finials featured in the interior news section of Homes and Gardens Scotland, December issue.

We thank all our customers for their support throughout last year and look forward to working with them in 2012.

August is here and with it comes the sun! To celebrate the summer months we have put together a shot of our favorite feel good combinations.

The ruby ellipse finial on stainless steel or brushed bronze pole, works beautifully here with fabrics from Christopher Farr.

A lot of our inspiration comes from the beautiful surroundings here in the Cotswolds.

Our lavender pole is just one example which works well with a number of finials, creating a gentle softness within your home.
