Exclusive to ajb interiors

We have recently introduced a new range of prints to the shop and have, so far, been overwhelmed by how popular they have been with our customers. They are exclusive to ajb interiors and many of them are one off designs.
There are various styles, frames and sizes available in the shop and prices start at just £18. We hope to add new designs to the range regularly.







Prints created by a local illustrator and framed by AJB Interiors.

reasons to buy british...

We found this brilliant list on the www.frombritainwithlove.com website
and just couldn't resist pinching it!

1. Make it... Original
Say goodbye to bland, mass-produced products, and instead choose original and distinctive products that you love, and which reflect your own individual style.

2. Make it... Local
Shop local and discover exciting new products and regional specialities... and it's not just food: think of Welsh blankets, Sussex trugs and Scottish cashmere

3. Make it... Last
Ditch the disposable and choose products made from quality materials which transcend trends and age gracefully to become heirlooms of the future. When you know a product has been made with love, you won’t want to throw it away.

4. Make it... Matter
Support home-grown talent, creativity and innovation. With the growth of online retail, it’s never been easier to buy direct from artists, designers, craftspeople and food producers. Your purchases matter to independent businesses and they rely on your support.

5. Make it... Sustainable
Buy less and treasure it more. Buying locally produced products helps reduce your carbon footprint, and by keeping things for longer you’ll save money in the long term and help reduce landfill too.

6. Make it... Count
Investing in bespoke, handmade or one-off products from innovative British artists and designer-makers can be a great investment that will grow in value while you enjoy owning them.

7. Make it... Personal
Meet the people who make your products. From craft fairs to farmers markets and open studios to art galleries, meet talented British producers and find out more about how they work.

8. Make it... Fun
Once you start buying British made products, you’ll be hooked! Travel anywhere in Britain and you’ll constantly be on the lookout for local producers, shops and markets where you can seek out exciting new products and local specialities to take home with you.

9. Make it... Yourself
There’s nothing more satisfying than making something for your home or giving a gift that you’ve made yourself. So why not have fun and learn a new skill on one of the many exciting courses run by talented producers across the British Isles.

10. Make it... Happen!
We’re constantly inspired by the producers we meet and the fantastic products they make and we hope you will be too. Spread the word!

Radiator covers, more than just a pretty face?

There's no getting away from the fact that radiators aren't usually the most attractive feature of a room but made-to-order covers can offer so much more than simply covering up unsightly radiators.

Here are our top 5 reasons for using radiator covers:

1. A radiator cover enhances the appearance of your room. The most obvious benefit of having a radiator cover is that it can hide a radiator that you feel lets down the decor of the room. There

are plenty of designs to choose from so find the right one to suit your style and interior.

2. A radiator cover can be used as an item of furniture. Use the top portion of your radiator cover as additional space. Use it as a shelf to display items such as books, memorabilia, picture frames, ornaments, candles and anything else that you can think of.

3. Radiator covers can help lower down your heating bills. A radiator cover can direct heat out into a room rather than letting it move up towards the ceiling. This helps to spread the heat and is particularly good for radiators positioned underneath windows.

4. Radiator covers are easy to care for. Radiator covers help prevent the hard to remove dust and dirt that accumulates on and behind the radiator. They also offers

protection for your radiator from knocks and scratches.

5. Radiator covers offer protection from hot radiators. This is especially good for children. The radiator cover allows you to have your radiators on full during cold winter days with the knowledge that they are out of reach of little hands.


If you would like a quote for a radiator cover for your home please get in touch. We can make them to most sizes and styles.
