Lauren Ridley, creative director of Brass & Rose Interiors shares her thoughts on creating a beautiful home.
Creating a beautiful home is no easy task, it is one that requires style, a keen eye for detail and in some cases a huge amount of guts and patience. Our clients come to us for a wide range of reasons, some know exactly what they want but desire that designer finish, through to those that feel overwhelmed by the process and would like us to guide them through the design journey and choices available. No matter what service our clients require, we always take the time to consider all aspects of the project and deliver to the highest quality.
We are firm believers that good design doesn’t start in a room but at the first glance of a home, creating a first impression that makes you pause for a second and then fill with excitement to step inside and explore. I am sure many of us would love to live in that one beautiful house in the street that everyone aspires to own or take a nosey inside, so no matter what your style, create your story from the doorstep.
We wanted to show you exactly how to achieve this, hopefully giving you a little inspiration for your next project.
Country Cottage
When we think of country cottage, we immediately think of cosy textiles, rural settings and a roaring fire. If this is your go to style, why not consider a stable style door to give that true original country feature. Not only a practical solution especially for those with mucky pups but it’s a certain way to add character and charisma to your home.
Modern Luxe
The trend of clean lines and luxurious finishes are certainly here to stay! The interior world is adorned with metallics, plush fabrics and jewel colours creating a whole new take on the modern home. When creating your style, think streamline shapes, striking colours and simple details. The beauty of this aesthetic is how a dark palette is lifted by gold metallic finishes and statement artwork. ERW’s contemporary range with its expanse of glazing and minimal design work perfectly to create a stylish, modern entrance.
Timeless Character
A home filled with original features and character is one of our favourite projects to work on (although we try not to be bias). For us, timeless character exudes elegance with understated details and simple touches. It is that Victorian property lovingly cared for and brought into the modern era with neutral colours, stripped back textures and timeless pieces. We always find that working on such projects gives us the chance to have a little fun with quirky small items, whether it be a brass bee door knocker or statement chair. Complimenting this style perfectly is the York door, a collection that is totally effortless in its style.

All staff I met were very professional from office to the 4 installers not forgetting the man who did the survey. I have had lots of compliments from friends and family. Thank you for the attention to detail and the efficiency of the work carried out.
Mrs B, Norton, Stockton on Tees
Many thanks to ERW Joinery Ltd, our home has been transformed. The quality and installation has exceeded our expectations. The work of your installers has been exemplary, nothing has been a problem and their care and attention to detail is first class. We would recommend you to anyone.
Dr & Mrs M, Ponteland
A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
My wife and I are delighted with the work you carried out on the windows. You completed the work most efficiently, to our agreed time scale. Your dealings with us from initial enquiry to completion, were first class. I would most certainly have no hesitation in recommending your firm to others, and will be in touch in late spring to initiate further work – on our upstairs front windows.
Mr C, Middlesbrough
