ITV Choose Myakka’s Fabulous Fair Trade Furniture
ITV’s popular show ‘60 Minute Makeover’ features fair trade Indian furniture. With just 60 minutes to turn a home from drab to dazzling, Myakka’s British designed Indian solid wood furniture has proved a winner for the interior designers in seven episodes of the new series.
For those unfamiliar with the show, 60 Minute Makeover challenges top interior designers to update and upgrade the decor of three rooms in a house in just an hour (not including the all important tea break!), with work beginning and ending at the blow of a whistle.
Richard Randall’s transformation of Terry and Richard’s house in Surrey was aired on ITV on Monday 21st September. The two unsuspecting homeowners’ lounge looked fabulous with furniture from Myakka’s Khimsar range. The lighter colour of the Acacia solid hardwood furniture combined with a cream suite from Harvey’s and oak wall decoration to create a relaxing and neutral ambience. Perfect for Richard to unwind in preparation for one of Terry’s massages in her new treatment room!
Jackie and Chris spend all their time caring for their daughter in Swanley, Kent. They were the unsuspecting recipients of a 60 Minute Makeover, an episode which was aired on 30th September. Interior designer Kathryn Rayward transformed Jackie and Chris’s home with furniture from Myakka’s sleek and contemporary Mallani range. It just shows that great looking furniture can be good value, versatile and fair trade.
Georgie Hopkins, director for Myakka comments, “The interior designers have a tough job to complete the transformations in just an hour. We were delighted to have our furniture selected for seven of the 60 Minute Makeover shows. It’s great exposure for our brand and encourages people to think about the sourcing of products in their home.”
The shows can be watched online through the ‘ITV Player’ for the coming weeks. See http://www.itv.com/ or http://www.myakka.co.uk/ for more information.
