TV is the most powerful sales medium in the world so when we get the opportunity to show our beds on a TV program we always jump at the chance. "Here are a few bedroom makeovers".

Mackintosh Bed makes TV debut in front of 1.4 million viewers

An enquiry from ITV's '60 Minute Makeover' led to the Mackintosh Bed being featured in a bedroom makeover. The show hosted by Claire Sweeney attracts an average weekday audience of 1.4 million viewers and was aired in 2005. It's the sort of exposure that’s likely to give companies a huge boost as previously featured products have recorded rocketing sales after the show.

'60-Minute Makeover' used the Mackintosh Bed as the focal point in the re-decoration of a replica Dutch windmill. These pictures show the fabulous Mackintosh in a very odd shaped bedroom.

French Life painted Sleigh Bed completes Paul & Alison Buckley’s dream home

Carpenter Paul Buckley and his family moved out to Brittany in France over 12 months ago to start a 'Gite Management' and property maintenance company.

The 'Channel 5' documentary program 'My Dream Home Abroad' follows Paul and his family’s progress as he restores his own 17th century farm cottage and develops his business abroad. The program demonstrates the real trials and tribulations setting up home abroad can bring – ‘warts and all’.

As completion of the cottage gets closer, Paul and wife Alison think about furnishing the home. Alley has set her heart on a cream painted bedroom suite and particularly a traditional Sleigh Bed. This is when Alley contacted Revival beds for details on French Life hand painted furniture.

Once she’d seen the painted wooden samples and the brochure she immediately sent Paul back to the UK with the camera crew to get a Sleigh Bed from the Revival Bed Company.

While collecting the bed Paul manages to get some good footage of the Revival Bed finishing processes for the TV program before taking the Cream Painted Sleigh Bed back to France.

Since getting the Sleigh bed into the cottage Alison has promised herself the rest of the Cream painted French Life bedroom furniture.

Colin & Justin - How not to decorate your home

A surprise enquiry from TV design team Colin and Justin led to us installing a 6’0” County Kerry Four Poster bed into their own town house in the heart of Glasgow.

The team who are noted for their tips on the hit TV show ‘How Not To Decorate’ where they transform the inside of a fairly drab looking house into something much more exciting chose, the County Kerry four poster, two bedsides and a four door wardrobe because they were looking for a bedroom with a Celtic theme.

Justin Ryan said “People know us for our work on contemporary houses, but when you make your living as an interior designer you have to be familiar with all sorts of styles. The watchword is quality, whether it’s old, new, a one off or one of thousands, furnishings and furniture need to be the best quality you can find for the money you want to spend”. You can find more Colin and Justin’s thoughts from their book. The million pound property experiment and 'How not to decorate your home'.
