Oscar's Chic French Interiors

What do you use curtain tie backs for?

They look lovely draped around curtains but get adventurous with them and add a designer stamp to your home.

A top designer tip is to use them as light pulls in the bathroom and loo.  They look fabulous and are sure to impress all your guests!  Simply unknot the tie back so that you have two long cord pulls and tie together at the top and attach to the light pull.  It really is that simple.

If you have curtain poles tie one tie back at each end of the pole and let the tassels hang down.  A great feature is to have one tied to the centre of the pole to give that special look.

Drape them around mirrors to add grandeur and interest.

The uses are endless, so give it a go, we have selected some beautiful tie backs and also key tassels, which no discerning French armoire or cabinet should be without.

Take a look and enjoy!

What do you use photo frames for? 

Well don't just use them for photos, they can be put to great use as a designer touch in any home.   If you have wallpaper in a room, then cut out a piece of the central pattern from a spare roll and place in a couple of photo fames for instant designer class to add to your mantle piece, side tables, dressing tables - in fact anywhere around the home.  Give it a go and see how eye catching it is.

Another unique way to use your photo frames are to keep a couple to use on your dinner table when entertaining, and insert your menu for the evening.  Impress your friends and family!

Take a look at some of our lovely rococo photo frames, we have them in black and white, to fit with most decors.
