Birthday Celebrations and New Showroom Launch!

Good Morning! We'd like to say a big thank you to all those who wished us a Happy Birthday and were able to join us in the showroom on Saturday to celebrate! We had a great time and a lovely response to our new furniture ranges which was great to hear.

We've posted a few snapshots of some of them below but further official images of the whole event will follow!

The launch was German themed in honour of our new furniture ranges.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Well what another busy year it's been! We've been lucky enough to work on some amazing projects and meet some lovely new clients.

 

 Our showroom has evolved to reflect the new next125 and 'C' Collection ranges which we are now offering and have been well received and we're excited to work on more of these ranges in the new year.

 

Over the festive period we will be closed from 12pm on Tuesday 23rd December and will re-open on Monday 5th January.

 

We'd like to take this opportunity to wish all our Customers past and present a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

 

 

Window Treatment Ideas For Your Home

 As you know here at Planet we love nothing more than designing fabulous furniture to suit your home! Once we have finished our part, we're often asked to recommend a place which can help with the interior furnishings and this is where our friends at Gilroy Interiors come in.

We're probably asked the most about paint and window treatments, windows are often the focus of a room and with so many furnishing options available its hard to know where to start. Gilroy Interiors have a beautiful showroom based in the market square in Hitchin and will help and guide you through the number of choices available. They have been kind enough to share with us below some inspirational photo's based on different window types.

This pretty roman blind draws your eye and is perfect in this country style kitchen.

The pretty fabrics are also continued on the table and seat cushions, bringing the whole scheme together.

 Folding sliding doors are still so popular and can be dressed in a variety of ways such as with a beautiful single curtain on a hidden track..

or these overlapping fabric panels are a striking alternative.

  The pretty sheer patterned roller blind is perfect for these french doors and still allows light through giving a soft effect.

And finally we thought we would include our own shutters here in the showroom which were also from Gilroy Interiors and we're very happy with them! Shutters are a really popular option and can work in both a traditional and contemporary setting with their smart and clean look.



Well we hope this gives you a few ideas for finishing off your scheme. If you do require any further information then please get in touch with Gilroy Interiors and they'll be more than happy to help.

New C Collection Now Available

Today we'd like to share with you more exciting changes taking place here at Planet! In conjunction with the same German manufacturer, we're now offering a new competitive range called The C Collection.

The collection offers more choice here at Planet and although an alternative to our luxury hand-built and high-end Next125 ranges, neither design, style or durability are compromised as you will see in the photo's below. It offers great versatility due to it's vast range of door styles, colours and cabinet sizes which are all made to order. The collection is available in 28 beautiful colours from muted to vibrant so whatever your taste there's sure to be one to suit you.

Look out for our new displays in the showroom nextdoor which will be on their way very soon! These will include country and contemporary style kitchens, storage, bedroom and home office furniture, once again demonstrating the versatility of this beautiful product.     

We hope you like the new C Collection, we'd love to hear your thoughts. If you require any further information then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

We would like to say a big thank you to all those who came to our Macmillan Coffee Morning last week. We managed to raise over £250 so we are really thrilled and we had a lot of fun (and cake!) in the process!

As you can see there were plenty of delicious treats to choose from and we'd like to thank our bakers who contributed!

The cakes are ready for their close up before they're gone!

 

  

Tea anyone?!

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Good Morning!

We'd like to invite you to our coffee morning on Friday 26th September at 10.30am at our showroom in Hitchin. There will be coffee, cake, games, a raffle and the chance to have a good old natter!

It's all in aid of Macmillan Cancer so why not pop in, we hope to see you there!

Coming Soon! New Contemporary Kitchen Range

Things have been pretty busy here at Planet of late! We've been lucky enough to have been working on lots of lovely projects and we're currently in the middle of an exciting showroom refurbishment to make way for some new furniture that we can't wait to tell you about!

In addition to our handmade furniture we have decided to expand our contemporary range and in conjuction with a German manufacturer will be offering an exciting new product, some examples of which you can see below.

The stylish new range is built to the highest standards and features all the latest technologies that you would expect from your kitchen. There is a large selection of stunning door styles on offer which allows for endless design possibilities and options in a range of superior materials and finishes. 

Do let us know what you think of the new furniture and if you'd like to know more then please get in touch.

Merry Christmas From All At Planet!

Well we've made it to the end of another busy year!

We've been lucky enough to be involved in some wonderful projects this year and we'd like to thank all our clients for their valued custom.

Today (Friday) is our last working day in the showroom, we will then be closed over the entire Christmas period and return on the 6th January.

So all that's left to do is to wish you all a very

Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!

See you in 2014!

Why we love an Aga!

Since we became an authorised Aga showroom two years ago, our love of Aga's has grown and the three oven, pearl ashes one we are lucky enough to have in the showroom has really become one of the family! We love it's reassuring warmth in the winter and as we have the Total Control version we are able to use each oven as we need it so it's perfect for use throughout the summer months too.

It's a pleasure to cook on as it's so versatile and the food retains all of it's taste and colour due to the specialist design of the ovens which use radiant heat. We've cooked a range of things, from jacket potatoes and casseroles to toasted sandwiches on the top (the best toast we've ever tasted!)

The Aga has evolved with the times and the traditional perception it used to have is changing too and we are specifying them in modern homes and kitchens more and more as you'll see below.

If you would like to know more then please pop in and we'd be happy to give you a demo or head over to the Aga blog and follow Lady Aga for recipes, tips and news!

Here's a small selection of some of our projects featuring Aga's.
