Who are Vincent Sheppard?

Vincent Sheppard have been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing furniture since 1992. Our market leading brand, Lloyd Loom has a fabulous collection of indoor and outdoor seating. The furniture is created using a technique where Kraft paper is twisted around a metal wire and woven into unique and individual furniture pieces.

Vincent Sheppard furniture can now be found in over fifty countries worldwide, with headquarters based in Belgium running the whole operation. Our production plants are based in Indonesia a country steeped in history for weaving.

The word craftsmanship is at the cornerstone of what we believe. We honour and preserve the tradition and history of the Lloyd Loom weaving technique. We have developed a very close collaboration with the people of Cirebon, Indonesia, known for weaving and bending rattan. This was the perfect place to establish our main production plant. Utilising the skills and knowledge of the local craftsmen can elevate the products to become pieces of art. Every piece handcrafted to perfection. Over the years we have added to our production range with natural colours and also additional durable materials.

As a company we are not only passionate about our products, but also the local environment and the welfare of our overseas work force. The company also has an ecological mindset and we are very conscious about the consumption of resources, recycling and the cleansing of waste water. In 2013 we received the FSC label by the Forest Stewardship Council which is a symbol of environmental, economic and social sustainability.

Indoor Ranges

Our indoor furniture range is designed with comfort at the forefront. we create tables, chairs, sofas, lighting and accessories in many different materials with a very distinct design style. We are known to experiment with all types of materials and combinations and create for all tastes.

Outdoor Furniture

Originally the outdoor range mainly consisted of Lloyd Loom furniture that was treated for use outdoors. Over the years the demand for great qualitative designs in a variety of all weather materials helped us to create a new range of synthetic furniture that can be left outside all year round. Comfort is our upmost priority and we are very proud to supply some of the most beautiful restaurants and hotels across the globe.

So for something a little different why not take a look at the Vincent Sheppard furniture range.

Rug Placement Ideas for the Home

Rugs are a great addition to any home, they have the ability to transform a space, soften the appearance of a room, give a definition of your style, make a room feel cosier and some are even considered pieces of art that simply can be shown off to become the focal point.

Below we have some rug placement ideas to consider for placing a rug in your home.

Give your living room a refresh with some simple changes and updates

Expand the room with wide & striped

Choosing a wide rug that has bold stripes such as black and white zebra-esque one can give a space the appearance of being wider than it actually is.

Don’t obscure its beauty

Found a rug that you have fallen in love with, why keep it covered up and hidden by furniture. If placing under a table go for a glass one rather than the opaque wooden one. The best part; glass tables fit into both modern and traditional design.

Don’t be afraid of geometric

Geometric patterned rugs look brilliant in even the most tradition of places and can pair up great with both solid and patterned fabrics.

Get the size right

It’s important to think about the size of the rug and what you want it to cover and not cover. For example, if you are placing a rug in a dining room you will want to have enough amount of rug so that it spans a distance that will allow the chair to be slid in and out of the table without leaving the area of the rug and getting caught on the edge of it.

Define area of traffic

Use a rug to define the major traffic lanes in your home, using runners you can create interesting transitions between one place and another.

Lloyd Loom Furniture – Why we love it!

Vincent Sheppard Lloyd Loom Joe Lounge Chair

Lloyd Loom is the most beautiful furniture, 100% manufactured in England. Still making by hand the finest Lloyd Loom furniture and using techniques learnt in the 1930s, the unique twisted paper and wire weave is made on their looms, and they use the finest steam-bent beech wood for their frames.

With its reputation for comfort, strength and longevity, Lloyd Loom furniture sits in many of the finest hotels and restaurants around the world. When you invest in Lloyd Loom for your home you are buying an antique of the future.

The legendary Lloyd Loom process was invented in 1917 by the American Marshall B. Lloyd, who twisted kraft paper round a metal wire, placed the paper threads on a loom and wove them into what was to become the traditional Lloyd Loom fabric.

Lloyd Loom chairs quickly became very popular in America and in 1921; Marshall B. Lloyd sold his patent to an English manufacturer, which used Lloyd Loom in an original manner to create a collection of typical English furniture.

Vincent Sheppard Lloyd Loom Anna Chair 

Perfect for a conservatory or garden room used for dining, their clean modern lines are complemented by the woven fabric which gives a natural outdoor feel.

The Lloyd Loom weave is the up to the minute choice for dining chairs. The clean lines give a classic yet contemporary elegance, whilst the natural weave confers a relaxed mood.

Until the middle of the last century nearly every house had its comfortable Lloyd Loom chair in the bedroom and, where size allows, the bathroom. This is becoming the norm again, both at home and within the hospitality trade. What could be more welcoming and nostalgic?

Why have Mirrors in your home...

There are so many reasons why you should have mirrors in your home. We have a beautiful range of mirrors here at Kings Interiors and thought we’d write about why we think you need one in every room of your house...

Space
For a start they are the best way of creating the illusion of space! They can really effectively amplify a room and make it feel a lot bigger than it actually is. A mirror reflects the room, making you think that a room is much bigger. A small or narrow room can benefit from hanging a wall mirror and having a mirror in the hallway or a bathroom can make a space look more open.


Light
A mirror also reflects light around a room. Any light in your room will be enhanced by mirrors that reflect it, making the room more light and airy, and the more light and airy a room, the more spacious it feels.


Hide
Another great use for a mirror is to hide any imperfections you may have on the walls of your home. It can be hard to find paintings or pictures that look right in your home and that suit your style and colour schemes. A mirror is a great alternative that can cover up any unsightly imperfections such as holes, paint scratches, discoloured paint, or finger marks.


Decorate
A large, decorative mirror in a room will immediately brighten it up and can create a lovely focal point. You can also use a mirror to update the look of a room in your home, to achieve a cohesive style or to bring interest in a space.


LookLast but not least, a key benefit of a mirror and arguably the most important one is its functional use. You use a mirror to look in it! You use one to check on yourself before you leave the house, to do your hair, and for all your other grooming rituals.


Many interior decorators and designers maintain that a mirror completes the look of a room. In our showrooms we display probably the largest selection of mirrors from each manufacturer in the UK. You can browse and buy online, or visit our amazing showrooms here in Nottingham. Call us for any help or advice on 0115 9455584 or email info@kingsinteriors.com.

Patterned Carpets are back!

Old-fashioned and dowdy they are no more - patterned carpet is back! We believe a pattern can brighten up even the dingiest of spaces, whether you making statement on you staircase with a slick tartan design, or styling your lounge with floral motifs. Patterned carpets are dramatic, adventurous and fun, and they are an important consideration when choosing a carpet.

Practically speaking, it can mask a multitude of spills, spots and wear. Even a subtle pattern can help to conceal any blemishes. Pattern adds detail to a room, whether it's geometric, floral or a simple check. It also brings character and complexity to the overall design.

From a contemporary take on traditional designs or to create a truly heritage impression we have a wide selection of beautiful patterns and designs for every taste and style.

From Axminster Carpets of Devon, Brintons, Ulster Carpets, Whitestone Weavers, Woodward Grosvenor and Goodacre, from traditional to Laura Ashley designs, Kings has everything you will need to transform your room. We are one of the original woven Axminster and Wilton suppliers in the country. Our knowledge of these products is second to none. Here are some examples...

The Brintons Abbeyglen Woven Axminster  

This plaid collection is named after the striking castle which sits high above Connemara. The five designs are inspired by the county that the plaid represents and the warm earth colours used give the carpets a rich natural quality.

Brintons Timorous Beasties Yellow Ruskin Butterfly 

Known for their beautiful, dramatic textiles and wallpapers, Timorous Beasties began by creating rugs for Brintons. This season, for the first time, they have designed a carpet collection. Available in three widths 1, 3 and 4 metres wide, this stunning design is suitable for extra heavy domestic use.

The Laura Ashley palette of soft honeys, pinks and greens looks great in modern homes and is very easy to live with. Available in three widths 0.91 metres, 2.74 metres and 3.66 metres wide, this pretty design would look beautiful in any home. 

Flooring is the cornerstone of any design scheme. Once you decide on the carpeting of a space, the wall colour, window treatment, fabrics and furnishings will all fall into place. So what is on the floor-whether it's a block colour or an elaborate pattern- will create the atmosphere for an entire room. For all your carpet needs, look no further than Kings Interiors!
