From Old School to New School
on School Lane… 5 tips to make your new house
feel like home:
Peter Green Gets an A+ for Innovation. •
The comprehensive furniture and flooring
business, Peter Green, has been trading in
the Hampshire area for over six decades.
This independent retailer known for its
quality and service is getting a ‘fresher look’
under the management of Wendy Martin
Green and Chris Williams. “With a broader
product range we now appeal to a younger
demographic, as well as our core customers,”
says Wendy. “Yes,” says Chris, “and our EDLP
(Every Day Low Prices) strategy on the brand
names of furniture and flooring means that
you never have to wait for the sales, as we are
always cheaper than everyone else, all year.”
Peter Green has won three awards this year
for its innovation and work in the community,
but underneath it all it is still the same Peter
Green we love… Quality, Service and fantastic
value.

First thing’s first, make the bed. You’ll
appreciate this after a heavy day of
unpacking!
Get yourself some wax melts or candles
to make your new place feel like home.
Unpack room by room and make one
room (maybe the lounge) really cosy
so you can break up the rest of the
unpacking with evenings relaxing and
enjoying your new pad.
Add a colour scheme to each room. This
will not only give your new home a bit
of personality, but it will give it your
personality!
Don’t go crazy and buy everything you
need straight out. Buy yourself key
pieces for your rooms, such as rugs and
lamps. These pieces will stand out and
you’ll appreciate them more.

majestic collection of four-posters, each with
its own distinct personality.
