What's new for 2009?

I visited Maison et Objet in Paris in January, and I’m pleased to say New Zealand is well and truly up with the all the trends.

The fabrics, wall coverings and accessories were more colourful than they were 12 months ago, but other than that, there were few major changes.

Moss greens were everywhere, and over scaled designs were still very much in evidence, especially for outdoor design. The image on the right, from the new Designers Guild Manhattan Collection, illustrates this green well with an eclectic look.

Perhaps the most comforting aspect of it all, was that New Zealand now has its own very clear style, with strong influences from our land, sea and light, so we no longer feel the need to follow the European trends unless they suit us and our lifestyle. Nice.

As always, all the new fabric and wallpaper collections will be available here from February and March, so if you have seen something you like in an overseas magazine, rest assured we will have it very soon.

Limited Editions Interior Design Service

So when you need help with the interior of your home, please call us. Everything is fully guaranteed, and we will be delighted to help you. Make an appointment today.

Cleaning and Maintenance for your furnishings

Limited Editions has several services which many of our customers find invaluable. We thought we should tell you about them:

• Cleaning – we remove your curtains and blinds, have them cleaned and reinstall them.

• Repairs – if repairs are required before cleaning, we arrange this.

• Re-upholstery – don’t forget we have a wonderful re-upholstery service, which can breathe new life into your old furniture. We also do loose covers.

• Relining and refurbishment – maybe you have curtains in a fabric you love, which look a bit tired, even though the fabric still has years of life. Our expert staff will come and assess them for you and suggest ways to bring them up to date. This may involve cleaning, new linings, different headings, or new tracks or rods.

All work is quoted as usual, and you can rely on us to give you honest advice – if something is really past its Use by Date we will tell you.

If you would like something cleaned or refurbished, please call your usual Limited Editions Designer or Tom Silcock on 4734220 or email tomsilcock@limitededitions.co.nz

Finally as we look ahead

"The colour yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation."

As an aside, I note that not only is it predicted to be the colour of the year for interiors, but also for fashion. So watch those catwalks.

We look forward to seeing you soon

With best regards

Claire and all the Limited Editions team
