Well ok maybe it’s cool and maybe it’s not, but there is no doubting it is popular. How do we know this? Well quite simply due to the demand we are seeing in our orders for items from the Trafalgar rustic oak collection.

Over the past few months our rustic oak furniture range from Trafalgar has literally flown of the shelves (well out of the warehouse, it would break the shelves!) with orders ranging from one or 2 pieces of furniture from the collection such as console tables, display cabinets and bookcases, to full blown sets, mostly bedroom furniture sets or dining furniture sets.

However we have noted that it seems to be not just the excellent build and quality of our rustic oak furniture that compels our customers, nor is it the stylish yet traditional design, but it is those things combined with the sheer range and the “mix and match” factor it gives. For example the rustic oak collection has 2 different desk/dressers, which can be matched with a stool, or you could use one of the 2 matching dining chairs with it for more back support and it wouldn’t look a bit out of place.

It seems that our customers agree as many buy 1 or 2 pieces of furniture to match up for a desired effect, or buy extra items to match a typical set, such as a bookcase, TV unit or display cabinet to go with the bedroom items they have (then again most people have TV’s in the bedroom so it makes sense).

So if you are after a very versatile and traditional look for one or more rooms in your home, you can’t go wrong with the rustic oak collection by Trafalgar and judging by our orders, you seem to be in agreement.

You may remember our article on the hi-gloss range of bedroom furniture from Gleneagle. It talked about the Carlton and Clarion bedroom ranges. Both of these were similar designed sets yet had a differing hi-gloss finish (white and black respectively) but had the same walnut wood finish otherwise. Well since then these have become huge sellers for us at Furniture Store 247, and along with a high demand for these, customers have asked if we plan on adding more variations of the hi-gloss style.

Our response was “of course we are!” and we have.

Our first hi-gloss range we are going to mention is the Shelbourne range. This gorgeous hi-gloss bedroom furniture collection keeps the same styling as the Clarion and Carlton ranges, meaning it keeps the same stylish retro look but take a different slant on it. The different slant in question here is the fact the hi-gloss is in a gentle cream colour and the wood finish is lighter as this time it is in oak. This means it provides a more spacious an lighter look to your bedroom compared to the darker walnut used in the Carlton and Clarion ranges and means it blends in as opposed to stands out.

Then we have the Savoy range, as before it keeps the same design as all of the other hi-gloss bedroom furniture ranges from Gleneagle, but it goes for a clean, crisp minimalist style. In a pure white hi-gloss finish, there are not wood effects this time round; the entire piece of furniture is in a hi-gloss white, with the only accent being the chrome finish handles. There is little about the Savoy range that says subtle, but then again this hi-gloss retro style isn’t about subtle it’s about being seen and looking cool and judging by our sales, you agree wholeheartedly.

Both the Savoy and Shelbourne ranges offer a complete bedroom solution with drawer chests, wardrobes, dressing table sand more available from both ranges. You can see Furniture Store 247’s full range of Gleneagle bedroom furniture along with the hi-gloss ranges by clicking here.

Rumours have been circulating recently about the demise of Gleneagle Furniture prompted no doubt by the closure of the UK Factory. Well we thought it was best to quickly reassure you that Gleneagle is still trading.

Production has simply transferred to a state of the art factory in Ireland. All the Gleneagle ranges are still produced and are available to customers in Ireland and the UK. We still stock all existing ranges and Gleneagle show no sign of slowing down. In fact they have just launched a new High Gloss Range which is available from Furniture Store 247.

So just to refresh, you can purchase all existing products from Gleneagle and they will be delivered. Gleneagle bedroom furniture is still the best value for money and the new state of the art Irish Factory means it could even be better quality.

For those not worried about Gleneagle and living in Ireland. Rest Assured, we deliver all Furniture from Furniture Store 247 to Ireland. The charge is only £45 and we can arrange a two man delivery. If you are still not sure take a look at the prices. Our prices are cheaper as they are in Sterling compared to expensive Irish Furniture shops charging in Euro’s. So why not take advantage of the strength of the Euro against the pound. Take a look at Furniture Store 247 and order furniture and save money at the same time

With the credit crunch affecting the economy worldwide it’s hard to think that people are still buying houses. Sure the prices are low, but it seems such a crazy time to be doing it unless you have the funds to buy home outright, or secure the expensive mortgages available. However it is exactly that point that has made buying to let such a lucrative prospect at the moment.

How? Well as people cannot afford to buy, then the only option is to rent – thus those who can buy can pick up a bargain and make a tidy sum letting homes. The thing is to not out-price yourself and make sure you can attract tenants and keep them happy; after all an empty house no one will rent from you is just a bottomless money pit.

So how do you achieve this?

Well first impressions count and thus make sure the place looks good, that means good décor and in a good condition. But more importantly take into account that the credit crunch is in effect. What does this mean? It means people are looking to save money where they can, and that means not having to furnish a house they are renting. The piece of mind knowing that you can just move in and the rest is pretty much done is a big comforting factor to many people.

Of course furnishing a house is quite a daunting thought, especially when you know it’s not you that will be living there, but you can take comfort in the fact that most people will be willing to pay more for a house they can simple move into with all the work done. It also means when old tenants leave and new ones arrive it is a much less drawn out scenario with no beds, sofas and other large items of furniture to be remove (this also saves on accidental damage during a removal).

The good thing is that buy to let is such a big business these days that there are many places that specialise in buy to let furniture, or furniture packs.

The premise of furniture packs (or furniture packages as they are often known) it to provide a complete solution to a room in a home, or to provide the basics for a few rooms (these are often known as starter packs.

A few examples could be a full bedroom furniture set comprising of bed, wardrobe, bedside tables and a chest of drawers, or something along the lines of just a few bedroom furniture pieces, allowing the bed to be provided by the tenant.

Dining furniture would normally include a table and chair set, though some also have sideboards.

Starter packs are normally a more budget version of room specific sets (such as dining furniture or bedroom furniture) or a combination such as a dining table and chairs, a bed and maybe a sofa.

Most furniture packs come in a variety of styles and materials to help you make your home more appealing to prospective tenants. The cost is normally a considerable saving than buying the items separately, and of course they are all delivered at the same time, and from the same place, making life easier if you have any problems or need replacement or extra items.

So furniture packs can be a great money saver and money maker in for those looking for a buy to let investment.

A few years ago a high gloss (or Hi Gloss) finish on furniture was considered tacky. Everything had to be in a wood effect (pine, beech, oak, maple and so on) or very minimalistic (or both).

The look of gloss finished doors or drawer fronts with a wood frames was something more akin to the late 70’s and early 80’s, and many of us could look back at our photos of that time and see something along those lines adorning our bedroom or living room.

However, today this style is once again in popular demand. Why? It’s that whole concept of styles coming back around again. What was cool becomes tacky, what was tacky becomes retro, and what is retro becomes cool and fashionable – the circle is complete.

Now that isn’t to say we want the same tacky furniture we had back in 1980, of course we don’t, what we want is a similar style but in quality materials, built to last and designed to impress.

Well Gleneagle Furniture (not one to be behind the current styles) have stepped up once again with several hi gloss finish furniture ranges – the Carlton Range, the Clarion Range, The Savoy Range and the Shelbourne Range. However as the Savoy range is more of a minimalistic white bedroom furniture range, we’ll leave that for now and look at the Clarion and Carlton ranges.

Now the first thing about these bedroom ranges you will notice it they are very similar, and by similar I mean the same. That’s because they are, with the obvious exception of the fact the Carlton range is in a hi gloss black finish and the Carlton in hi gloss white, but the point is they are offering choice in finish but still both retaining the same great quality and style you expect of Gleneagle Furniture.

Both these bedroom sets have a dark walnut wood finish on the main frame word, but the doors and drawers are all in a hi gloss finish based on the range you want. Blanket boxes have a front panel that matches the gloss finish, and beds have a inset in the headboard and bed footer with the same styling.

You can get the same furniture items for each of these bedroom furniture sets including wardrobes (double and single) dressers and stools, bedside units, drawer chests, beds in differing sizes, mirrors and more meaning each provides a complete bedroom solution. As a matter of fact at Furniture Store 247 we have both single bed and double bed furniture sets for both the Clarion and Carlton ranges, saving you money and you can add to it with individual items as you wish.

So if you are looking for something a little retro, but stylish and quality for your bedroom, check out the Clarion Hi Gloss and Carlton Hi Gloss ranges from Gleneagle.

Furniture Store 247 has a couple of good recommendations if you are looking for some traditional styled furniture for your home.

First up we have the new best selling rustic oak furniture range by Trafalgar Furniture. I’ve talked about this before but I’m going to mention what the positives and negatives of this range over our other best selling traditional furniture range from Oakleigh Furniture.

Well both of these sets have a full range of occasional furniture. What’s occasional furniture? Occasional furniture is these pieces of furniture that can really go anywhere such as end tables, or lamp tables, display cabinets and bookcases, console tables and sideboards. Any of these will add a classic touch to a living room, hallway, bedroom or dining room.

Other occasional furniture in both the Oakleigh range and the Trafalgar rustic oak range includes coffee tables, TV units and cabinets and hi-fi units, but these are more aimed at just the living room or lounge (though they can accent a bedroom furniture set very nicely).

Both of these quality furniture ranges have dining tables, extendable dining tables and matching dining chairs. Both also have a variety of sideboards in large and small sizes, but the Trafalgar rustic oak range has a little more versatility in its range of console tables (one of which even integrates a wine rack).

When it comes to the bedroom, both Oakleigh and Trafalgar furniture have most of the bases covered but shine in areas where the other lacks to a degree. Both sets have beds that match, but where Trafalgar only has a double bed and a king size bed, Oakleigh have s single bed too. Both have various wardrobes, tall boys and drawer chests, Trafalgar provide 2 differing types of dressing tables/desks with a matching stool, which Oakleigh does not.

So both these furniture ranges offer traditional styling that can be used throughout the home; Oakleigh being finished in solid ash, whereas Trafalgar have the rustic oak finish. Both offer a few minor extra pieces of furniture to the other as mentioned above, though nothing really deal-breaking. Finally the Oakleigh range is perhaps a little less expensive than the rustic Oak range from Trafalgar.

However in summary the positives and negatives are so minimal, you can be sure either of these ranges will provide you with quality furniture that can benefit your home. So at the end of the day it’s just comes down to personal tastes, inevitably the choice is yours.

We are happy to announce that the Trafalgar Rustic Oak range of furniture has arrived here at Furniture Store 247.

Made from the finest oak and distressed to give an authentic look, this furniture collection is beautifully designed and traditionally styled. It encompasses bedroom furniture, dining room furniture and some occasional furniture/living room furniture.

The great thing about this collection is the furniture can be mixed and matched to create different looks through out your home.

For example the bedroom range comprises of chests of drawers, beds, wardrobes, dressers, blanket boxes and wall mirrors; however there is nothing to stop you using one of the dressing tables as an office desk for your study or lounge and it will fit in perfectly. Perhaps your want to use the tall wall mirror from the bedroom range as a hallway mirror? You can even use the console tables as sideboards for your hall and maybe have a chair from the dining collection in there too. Got a TV in your room? Use either the widescreen TV stand or the corner TV stand from the living room/occasional range.

This versatility makes this a fantastic range to give so many different possibilities for each or all your rooms in your home.

That’s not all though as the Trafalgar Rustic Oak range can be purchased in sets as well as individually from Furniture Store 247.

Currently we offer a Trafalgar bedroom set comprising of a double bed, 2 bedside tables, a blanket box, 4 over 3 drawer chest and a double wardrobe with drawer.

Our Trafalgar dining set includes a twin leaf medium extending table and 6 oak dining chairs with leather seat pads.

Time for some more information regarding the latest bedroom furniture ranges to arrive at Furniture Store 247 courtesy of furniture brand Gleneagle

We covered the Tara Beech Range in a previous blog, though it is worth mentioning that range is also available in a walnut finish. The Tara Walnut Range has the same quality, same selection and same stylish look, just with a different finish.

But that’s digressing and we’re here to talk about the Sherwood Oak Range.

We often wonder if Gleneagle can put a foot wrong when it comes to their bedroom furniture design. This range once again looks stylish, functional, sturdy and contemporary especially with the brush steel handles on most of the furniture items, however the English oak finish adds a touch of tradition or a slight rustic air to the collection. This means this bedroom furniture range wouldn’t look out of place in a modern apartment or a country cottage.

The Sherwood Oak Range is very extensive with there being 6 different wardrobe styles and sizes available. The storage solutions continue with several styles of chests of drawers, and 3 different bedside cabinets.

Trying to ensure as complete a solution for a bedroom as possible the range offers 2 differing dressers to suit the space requirements of your room; though technically they are dressing tables, they can double as a desk or computer workstation very easily. There is a matching stool to compliment these dressers as well as 2 matching mirrors.

There isn’t a bed for this bedroom furniture range, but Gleneagle offer a matching headboard in king size, super king, double and 2 differing single sizes (3ft and 4ft).

Along with the bedroom furniture collection, Gleneagle also use the Sherwood Oak styling in some occasional furniture such as bookcases, TV units and lamp tables, which can easily fit into your bedroom layout for even more design options.

Furniture Store 247 now stock even more bedroom furniture ranges from top manufacturer Gleneagle Furniture.

After the success of the Snowdon bedroom furniture range, we have added many more furniture items from Gleneagle to our stock, over the next few weeks we will give you a run down of what these new ranges are like.

So far we have added several ranges so far and are adding more every day. The ranges so far include the Tara Range (in beech and in walnut), the Naples Oak Range, the Sherwood Oak Range and the Avimore Range.

So let’s start with some info on the Tara Beech bedroom furniture range for this post.

The Tara Beech Range –

Gleneagle says “Warm and light with natural tones, the Tara Range in a beech finish bring a modern and fresh feel to any bedroom.”

Who are we to disagree? The Tara Beech range is minimal and modern looking, with its beech finish being complimented by silver handles on the units. It is of quality build and very sturdy and the whole collection is designed to compliment but still give you choice.

It has just about everything you need for a bedroom and a few variations of the furniture items as well.

To start with there are 6 different chests of drawers to choose from (or to mix and match), then there are 2 different bedside cabinets/nightstands and 5 different wardrobe styles.

Then there are the dressers, there are 2 to chose, a double sided 3 drawer, and a single side 3 drawer. Both can be accented with either a butterfly mirror or a single mirror from the range as well, not to mention a matching stool. Finally there is a stylish blanket box to add a little extra to the room.

There isn’t a bed in the Tara Beech range, but the simple silver handles match most metal bed frames, and of course it will compliment any wooden beech finish bed too. But if you want it to match a little better, the Tara Beech Range does have a selection of headboards to co-ordinate and they come in single, double and king size bed sizes.

So for a modern, stylish and quality look to your bedroom try the Tara Bedroom Furniture range from Gleneagle Furniture and Furniture Store 247.
