Cyprus Luxury Furniture Packs are an experienced UK based firm who provide complete furniture solutions for properties in Cyprus. As the first independent UK retailer to supply stylish, readymade furniture packages for villas and apartments in Cyprus, CLFP remain committed to providing their customers with a hassle free, cost efficient service.

Frustrated with excessive costs, lack of choice, UK sourcing and not to mention language barriers, Cyprus Luxury Furniture Packs was founded by property investors Mark Sykes and Simon Gawthorpe. As many new homeowners in Cyprus experience the annoyance of furnishing their new property, CLFP has grown from strength to strength supplying, delivering and installing unique furniture packs for minimum cost and maximum quality. From pack selection to home installation, the team at Cyprus Luxury Furniture Packs ensure that furnishing your property in Cyprus remains both stress-free and affordable.

Mark and Simon remain extremely hands on and are there for their customers every step of the decision making process. They advise on product suitability, colours and electricals – even furnishings, linen, blinds and everything in between. However it is the installation team whose responsibility it is to deliver and install your furniture before ensuring you are left with a clean and tidy property which is ready for you to move in to or let out.

Tony Womersley is the installation manager for CLFP. He and his team work tirelessly to kit out your property and make your dream home in the sun a reality. Tony speaks from Cyprus on his challenging role within the company.

What is your day to day job role?
On a morning I will call the customer or developer and ask what time I will be able to access to the property. I then go to the warehouse and load the van with the product for that installation.

When we get to the address we will park in a suitable place and start taking the furniture to the property. Once all the furniture is in the apartment we will start to build the furniture up in each of the appropriate rooms. When the furniture is installed, all the packaging and rubbish is cleared away before I then go round the property and check all the correct furniture is there and set up correctly. Following that, I take pictures of the completed apartment or villa which I will later send to the customer. The final thing I do before I leave the property is call the customer to let them know their installation is completed and ask what to do with the keys.

How much time a year do you spend out in Cyprus?
That depends on how long the contract is. We normally do two or three weeks over here then maybe a week or ten days at home. At the moment I am installing 45 apartments which will take two and a half months to complete.

Who do you have working with you in the installation team?
We have a 3 man installation team. Myself, Adam and Ian

What is the largest project you have been involved with for CLFP?
The largest project I have worked on is the current one I am working on at the moment in Mazotos. We have 45 apartments to furnish here and potentially an additional 30.

How long does an average installation take?
An average installation normally takes one day to complete, however that depends on how many bedrooms the apartment or villa has. We furnish two bedroom apartments quite frequently and they usually take one day to complete.

What are the best and worst parts about your job?
The best parts and worst parts of my job are pretty much the same thing! I enjoy having time off and enjoying the sun at the beach or the pool, however doing this type of manual job in 45 degree heat in new apartments that are yet to have air con fitted, can be pretty hard!

There is no reason why this range cannot look good at a good price”.

Choosing the Best Style for Your Needs

If you are planning on purchasing new dining room furniture, you have a big decision to make. The furniture will be in your home for a long time and will become a part of many family memories. How can you determine what dining room furniture is right for your home? When you’re choosing dining room furniture, you want to be sure that you are buying a table and chairs that will fit well into your room and give you the flexibility and space you need for those special meals. You want a table that will look great when it is not in use, able to accommodate people comfortably, and wide enough to fit all place settings and serving dishes. Also consider how often you will be using the room and what for.

 


Pick Dining Room Furniture That Fits Your Lifestyle

Is your dining room more of a multifunction room rather than just a room for dining? Do the kids do their homework at the table? Do you use it as a workspace for projects? Is this where family and friends gather to play games? If so, you may want a more casual style for your dining room. The popular pub-style tables teamed with bar stools could be a good choice for you. You can comfortably seat up to eight people equitably around the table.

If, on the other hand, your dining room serves as a space for informal family dinners and gatherings, you may want to consider larger dining room furniture to accommodate your gatherings. If you use your dining room for family meals, you may want to consider purchasing casual dining room furniture that is both practical and pleasing to the eye.If the dining room is a place your family frequents daily, you will want to make sure it is also durable, welcoming, and comfortable.

If you frequently entertain company, and your dining room is reserved strictly for special occasions and gatherings, such as holidays, you may want to go with a more formal and elegant approach to your dining room furniture. You will want your dining room furniture to be warm and elegant for your guests, and to create a memorable experience. If this is the case, formal dining room furniture may be the right choice for your needs.


Implement Your Personal Style

Dining room furniture is as varied as the families that use it. Your dining room furniture should reveal your personal style. Styles of dining room furniture can vary from traditional and classic to contemporary and retro. Although there are dozens of style to choose from, it is best if you stick with one style when furnishing the dining room. You can find dining sets that are sleek and contemporary, ornately traditional, or rough hewn and rustic. Do you want the dining room to have a cohesive feel with the rest of your home? If so, dining room furniture that coordinates with the architectural style of your house and the decor in your other rooms will achieve that affect. Of course, you can always add some diversity. For instance, a metal table usually looks contemporary, but choosing one with curved legs will add more formality to the room. If you want to mix and match, do so with caution. Although it is best to stick with one particular furniture style, it is best to create a beautiful and individually stylized dining room by combining various style choices. Just be sure you are aware of what may or may not coordinate with one another. Style choices are plentiful. You are sure to find one perfect for your own individual style.


The Size Factor

The size of your dining room is just as important as the style of the furniture. You want your room to be comfortable, not overcrowded with furnishings. Be sure to measure before you purchase any dining room furniture. Know exactly how much space you have in the room for various pieces of dining room furniture. You don’t want your room to be overcrowded, and you also don’t want it to look bare. Your dining room chairs will need to be at least 48 inches away from the wall or other furniture to allow ease of movement. Also remember to think about the length of the table when its leaves are extended.

The size of your dining room will be greatly responsible for determining which pieces will fit in to the room. The dining room table will be the heart and soul of the dining room, the centerpiece of the furniture selections you make. All other pieces of furniture should be based around your dining room table. When looking at dining room furniture, you should consider that if the room is large, a large dining room table will make the room feel more complete. You can add side tables, a hutch, curio cabinet, or other small tables around the room as well. If you have a smaller dining room, a small to medium sized table will be best.

 

Choosing the perfect dining room furniture can be quite simple when you keep the above points in mind. The best way to go about purchasing your furniture is to take your time, and to be sure that you are happy with what you have chosen. Be sure to look around at all the various styles and sizes, and consider which would be best. Finding new dining room furniture should be fun and exciting.

Cleaning Tips For Your Living Room Furniture


Buying living room furniture is a big investment that requires a lot of search time and preparation. Daily use can have a great impact on the longevity and look of your furniture, and you want to make sure you properly care for it in order to extend its use for as long as possible. Here are some great cleaning tips to keep your furniture looking as fresh and beautiful as the day you bought it.


 
Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Stay clear of upholstery cleaners that use harsh chemicals or toxins to clean your furniture. These furniture cleaners may leave your furniture smelling and looking clean for some time, but there are risks associated with cleaning your furniture with them. For starters, these cleansers are typically full of harsh chemicals and toxins that can actually cause more harm than good to your furniture. Additionally, they are known to actually foster resoiling, resulting in more cleaning. These cleaners may also remove the protective layers of your furniture fabric, resulting in furniture that looks more worn, as well as causing harm to your upholstery.


Stay Clear of Steam

Steam cleaning initially sounds like a great idea when it comes to cleaning your furniture. However, it is important to consider what moisture can do to your furniture. Excessive moisture can cause odors, mold, and soil build-up. When steam cleaning is done the excess water must be sucked up, which can take days to fully dry. Even when the fabric appears dry on the surface, the moisture can still be present deep down. Steam cleaning may also strip your furniture’s upholstery, leaving it more prone than before to stains and soil.


Bring Out the Vacuum

Vacuuming your furniture regularly is a great way to clean debris and dirt off of your furniture before it has a chance to seep down and cause problems. Vacuuming will also allow you to prolong the need of more extensive and deep cleaning. Vacuuming should be done at least once a week. Make sure you not only do the visible parts of your furniture; you will also want to make sure you vacuum under the cushions and in the crevices of your furniture.


Spot Clean as Soon as Possible

Accidents happen frequently, and most likely your furniture will not be able to avoid them. Spills are likely to occur, and can lead to permanent stains if not taken care of quickly. Here are some ways to take care of these spills quickly and properly:


Always blot from the outside to the center of a spot. Doing so will control the spread of a spill

Test your fabric in a hidden area to make sure the color doesn not come off with the stain, or that a ring is not caused by the cleaning agent.

If the spot is liquid, use an absorbent white cloth or white paper towel to gently blot up the excess.

If the spot is solid material, remove the excess by lifting it off with a dull table knife or spoon.

Never rub, scrub, or brush a spill.

Never use strong chemicals such as bleach, solvents, or acids unless they are recommended by a specialist.

Never use sudsy detergents, as they leave a soapy residue that attracts dirt.

Avoid using tap water. Use distilled water or plain seltzer water. Minerals in common tap water can cause rings, even on treated fabrics.

Know Your Furniture Needs

There are a wide range of furniture fabrics and styles available. It is important to know which ones may or may not be best for your particular lifestyle. A leather sofa may not fair well with a home full of cats, but can work great with children because it is simple to clean and wipe spills. If you are decorating a room that will be low traffic and more for entertaining you can choose virtually any furniture fabric. You should also be aware that certain fabrics are more resistant to sunlight damage than others. If you need help finding out what fabrics fit your lifestyle, our trained associates will be happy to assist you at any store location.

 

The sofa and other various items that comprise the living room are often the center piece and the focal point for guests that you invite into your home. You want to make sure you are caring for them properly in order to keep them clean and increase their life. Following these tips will assure that your living room furniture is properly maintained and cared for.

Simple tips to assure you properly care for your Leather Living Room Furniture


When choosing a particular style of furniture for your living room, leather can be an exceptional choice. There are a wide range of leather sofas, leather sectionals, recliners, loveseats, and chairs available in various colors and styles. It is easy to clean, stylish, and quite durable when taken care of properly. Leather furniture is great at handling stains and spills, and typically does not require as much maintenance as other fabrics. This is not to say that leather furniture does not require any maintaining. It is “low maintenance”, but certainly not “no maintenance.”

Here are some great ways to care for your leather furniture:


Clean Stains Immediately

Make sure you take care of a spill immediately. If the stain is given time to sink into the fabric, it can be much more stubborn to cleaning. Additionally, it has a higher chance of reappearing months later.
Blot the stain lightly with a soft cloth or towel. Avoid rubbing and smearing the spill, as this will spread the stain.
It is best to clean spills on your leather furniture with warm water and mild soap.
It is advised to avoid harsh cleaning chemicals that may contain solvents, bleach, or acids.
Avoiding commercially available furniture cleaners is recommended as they tend to foster rapid resoiling.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Placing your leather furniture in direct and constant sunlight can cause it to fade over time.
It is best to place your leather furniture in a more shaded area of the room, or keep curtains closed when the sun is casting on the furniture.

Keep Away From Heat

Make sure your leather furniture is kept away from strong heat sources such as furnace vents.
Exposure to heat causes your leather furniture to dry out, making it vulnerable to cracks and splits.
It is recommended that you keep your leather furniture at least two feet away from potentially harmful heat sources.

Avoid Air Pollutants

It is best to not expose your leather furniture to potentially harmful air pollutants such as cigarette smoke and excessive cleaning fumes.
Air pollutants can fade or change the color of your leather furniture, and sometimes even distort the fabric in other ways.

Dust Regularly

Keep your leather furniture debris free by dusting at least once per week.
You can do this by wiping your furniture with a soft, dry cloth or gently vaccuming it.
Make sure you dust in between crevices and under cushions where dirt and dust may hide.
Dusting regularly will prevent your furniture from long-term damage from dirt and debris, and assure your leather furniture remains as fresh and new as possible.

Avoid Potentially Harmful Objects

Avoid sharp objects that may scratch or puncture your leather furniture including pens, needles, and animal claws. Although small scratches are fairly simple to repair, large rips and tears cause lifelong damage to the furniture
It is also wise to avoid leaving magazines and newspapers on your leather furniture as the ink tends to bleed and may leave ink marks on the leather.

Following these simple steps for caring for your leather furniture will affect the life and condition of your investment. With proper care, your leather furniture can last for many years to come and look just like it did the day you purchased it. Leather furniture is easy to maintain and clean, but taking simple steps to care for it properly is often overlooked. Following the simple tips above will assure that your furniture will remain looking, feeling, and smelling new.
