Hello,
We have had a busy few weeks here at AbFab preparing for the summer festival which took place on June the 29th in aid of the charity Molly Ollys Wishes. The charity supports children suffering with life threatening illnesses. At the shopping courtyard we were able to raise an amazing £780 which has been donated to the charity.

Here at AbFab we have been celebrating Her Majesty the Queen with red, white and blue fabric bunting displayed around our shop. It's not a British royal celebration if you don’t have patriotic bunting!

Over the past few months we have been working on an extremely exciting new build property. We have been at the heart of this project since the creation of its floor plan. From the beginning of renovation we have helped our clients choose flooring, kitchen finishes, bathroom fittings and tiling from the choices given by the house builder. We also assisted our clients with the fit of the house, this involves all the furniture, from handmade, bespoke sofas styled with designer cushions and throws, to lighting pendants carefully chosen to work with the scheme designed by us. As our clients were not living in the UK at the time, we fitted the house out ready for them to move straight in, relieving the stress out of moving in to a new home making the whole process much more enjoyable for them.

February is well and truly a month dedicated to love, here at Ab Fab we have worked on some absolutely stunning homes, but one in particular took our breath away, a country conversion in Mickleton, full of history with an industrial twist.

Here at Ab Fab we have embraced the new year with a complete showroom overhaul, this includes a new carpet, as well as a velvet, lime green sofa which complements the fresh newly released William Morris and Harlequin spring fabrics which have been made into gorgeous curtains and cushions.

The Christmas countdown has well and truly began here at Ab Fab. Our showroom has been decorated with the most luxurious Christmas decorations, from statement baubles, delicate table runners and candelabras, we have everything you need to make the big day that little bit more magical.

Lots has been going on at Abfab with the run Upto Christmas!

We have welcomed a new member of staff to our team, Cathy who is specialising in upholstery. She started her career in textiles and after a break whilst looking after children she has returned to the world of interiors! She is really enjoying being part of the Abfab team.

During the past year at Ab Fab we have been working on a very special project, in fact its our largest project yet. A beautiful classic Cotswold home redesigned with a showstopping glass extension creating a contrasting space. We assisted our client to bring her home to life with a number of showroom and home consultations. Here at Ab Fab we really get to know our clients on a personal level, this allows us to understand their style, and the ambiance they want to create in their home, it Is this element of our customer service that allows us to create beautiful cosy homes.

Hello,

Here at Ab Fab we are in full autumn winter mode (even if the weather doesn’t agree with us) this year we are embracing true autumn tones such as rusty oranges, foxy reds and luxurious browns. Along with this we are embracing textures, mixing together faux furs, velvets and embroidered fabrics.

We are thrilled to be sharing with you one of our indoor outdoor projects, “The Pagoda”.  It's safe to say that our gardens have become a sanctuary for our clients. Over the past year we have seen a rise in outdoor design, our clients want to create cosy seating nooks, relaxation stations and outdoor bars within their garden walls and we are all for it.

We are very excited to announce that our showroom has gained another gorgeous sofa. This generous 2 seater sofa is made using our finest vintage style velvet in a ocean blue grey. This colour can be carried throughout all seasons by changing up the cushions. With the addition of light floral tones in the cushions and textured velvets for winter accompanied by lovely faux fur throws.

Since re-opening the showroom we have had a new batch of fabric books delivered from multiple brands giving us lots of inspiration for new interior schemes. Here at Ab Fab we have wonderful customers with such a variety of homes, from 16th century cottages, to modern newbuilds, our new books cater for all!

Hello everyone,

We would firstly like to thank all our clients who have supported us during the last few months, we feel so grateful that we can carry on making your houses your homes. Since we are now back in the Ab Fab showroom and studio we thought it's about time we updated you on our latest projects that we completed during lockdown! During the lockdown we had to adapt our methods to bring our interior skills to our clients in the safest way possible, thus leading us to starting virtual design consultations! Over face time and emails we were able to create beautiful spaces for our clients in a Covid safe way, here are some of the jobs we completed using our virtual consultations…

Hello everyone,

We are so excited to be back welcoming you into our showroom and design studio. During lockdown we have been working on getting the Ab Fab premises spick and span! We have changed the studio around and added lots of new lovely home ware pieces such as new lighting, cushions and our favourite of all, beautiful new Scandy armchairs.

Hello Readers of AbFab

Firstly, we would like to say happy new year! The ab fab team are back at work, although we may be working from home and our showroom can’t be open. We are still able to assist our lovely customers via online zoom paint, wallpaper, and fabric consultations. As we enter into the new year we have seen a drastic change in interior styles and client’s needs. We thought we would share our interior predictions with you all, we’re sure you will be as fascinated as us and would like to bring some of these design aspects into your own home.

Like the rest of the UK in the 2nd lockdown we adapted our usual affairs to comply with the government guidelines! Changing our usual design consultations to zoom calls making sure we offer fantastic service to give our clients advice and supplying the key touches that make their houses homes. 

After a long month we are so exited to be back in the showroom and design studio, just in time for the run up to Christmas. All though lockdown may have been challenging at times, we were kept busy with lots of lovely projects for our clients which we are excited to be sharing with you today.

As the weather changes so do our interior schemes, just as we say good bye to the wonderful array of green trees and bright colours we say hello to the beautiful array of rusts, coppers, reds and golden leaves.

Hello readers of Ab Fab, 

Let’s start by saying thank you to our lovely clients that have continued to support us during these weird times, we have loved helping clients with projects throughout lockdown and have been amazed at the “home offices” that have been created by you.
