Meet Jacqueline Woodall, a loyal member of the Tony’s team who’s been with us for 19 years! This lady really knows her stuff when it comes to textiles – here’s what Jacqueline had to say when we caught up with her for a quick chat.

Q: What do you love about working at Tony’s Textiles?

A: It’s such a lovely place to work; the customers are so friendly so it’s great to get chatting to them! I really believe in the products too and it’s great to be selling products that you like. The Tony’s team are fantastic – we’re always going on social outings like Zumba – which is such a laugh!

Q: What are your top pieces of interior design advice at the moment?

A: When it comes to interior design, the most important thing is to ensure the colours you’re using suit what kind of look you want to achieve. If you are after a style that’s contemporary, you’d want to go for neutral tones with splashes of aubergine and teal – this is very on trend at the moment. For a more traditional look, I’d recommend using brigade colours that are timeless and will last for years.

Q: Which Tony’s products do you have in your home?

A: I don’t buy my home accessories from anywhere else! I particularly love the throws and cushions at Tony’s Textiles. I have different sets that I use for summer and winter. I tend to go for lighter materials such as cotton in summer and opt for luxurious furs over the winter period to make a room feel really warm.

Q: What are the most common questions that you get asked in-store?

A: You’d be amazed at the amounts of people that come in our shops to buy curtains that haven’t measured their windows and it’s very common for people to ask us about sizes of curtains. We always recommend that you measure the drop and width of your window before you purchase to avoid making any mistakes. Once you have your measurements we can point you in the right direction.

Q: What’s the most important thing to remember when hanging curtains?

A: There’s nothing worse than unsightly creases in curtains – be sure to make sure that the curtain is well pressed before you fit it (check the care label first for instructions). You should also make sure that the length is correct and that it doesn’t cover up your radiator as this will trap the heat inside the curtains and it will not reach the rest of the room.

Q: What are your home essentials?

A: I feel that the most important thing a home should be is warm so I class essentials as rugs and throws – these can make a home feel really cosy and homely, especially over Christmas time with a roaring fire.

Q: How do you make your home more cosy in Winter?

A: It’s surprising how many people ask me that, it seems everybody is after getting their homes nice and cosy this winter. I’d always recommend incorporating rich, luxurious colours into your décor – you could accessorise with throws and cushions because adding some darker tones can help to draw a room in.

Q: If you were buying Christmas gifts for someone’s home, what would you buy?

A: Towels are always a good shout as they come in a standard size so you don’t have to snoop around their home measuring up their windows to buy them curtains for Christmas! A lot of customers who pop in the shop buy fleecy bathrobes and throws (maybe with matching cushions too if they’ve been on the nice list!) as gifts for Christmas.

Q: When do you start decorating your home for Christmas?
