Get Inspired

Ah, joy! A cosy sofa, snuggly blanket, hot chocolate and soft lighting from the crackling embers of an open fire – welcome to my happy place! I’m a sucker for a winter’s eve; I need no encouragement to get my favourite PJs on, my latest page-turner out and hunker down in front of our open fire for an hour or two of restorative calm, occasionally throwing on another log to prolong my own personal bliss. It’s luxury, it’s romance and it’s heavenly. This is a new found bliss for me as it’s the first home I’ve had that has an open...

  Wow... you lovely lot certainly kept us busy this year and we can't thank you enough for it. Not a day goes by where we don't feel tremendous gratitude to not only have survived the rollercoaster that has been 2020 but to have welcomed lots of new and returning customers alike. As of around 4.30pm today, when Royal Mail have collected the last orders we've got packed up and ready to go, we'll be turning off the computers, munching the last of the Heroes, switching off the lights and locking the doors of our warehouse for a well-deserved rest until...

  As most of you know, Brown and Ginger is a small business and every year between Christmas and New Year we try to pack the holiday we often don't get to take during the year into those 10 or so days around the Big Day. Our break always involves wine, copious amount of cheese, Love Actually and more than a handful of cheer. Needless to say we're looking forward to it! We need to ask you a favour - please, please, please ensure you order with enough time to spare for your order to arrive. As much as we like...

Scrolling through Pinterest is one of our daily joys. Whether we're searching 'Sapphire Salute interior' (t's an amazing blue paint colour), 'hard to kill houseplants' (Aloe Vera) or 'festive front room ideas' (everything frosted white as far as I'm concerned!), there's always one constant feature: soft furnishings.
