The end of January is renowned for being the most miserable time of the year with the grey clouds and the endless wait for spring. But you don’t have to jet off to sunnier climes to find happiness. Look around and you find lots to make you smile.
Take a look in the flowerbeds to see some pretty little snowdrops nodding their heads.
Learn something new; take a course in pottery or learning a language boosting your brainpower will raise your spirits.
Act happy by faking it until you really feel it. Smiling is contagious and if you walk around with a big grin it won’t be long before the beams are coming back at you. (more…)

Trees are so beautiful at this time of year, especially those whose leaves have turned beautiful burnished shades of orange and red like the flags of Autumn.

Nuts are also abundant at the moment. Chestnuts are tumbling from trees in their prickly cases, waiting to be toasted on the fire! If you are lucky enough to find a productive walnut tree there is nothing like enjoying wet walnuts, freshly picked and distinctively different to the walnuts enjoyed at Christmas. (more…)

While the sun might be dimming, over the last couple of nights the sky has been lit by the beautiful Harvest moon. This is the full moon, which falls nearest to the autumn equinox and this year that occurs on September 23rd. While it is a stunning sight to see, there are many myths surrounding a full moon. It is said that to stare at it will send you insane, hence the word lunatic. Plenty of people claim a full moon interrupts with their sleep. That may be the case, but lets face it, it’s mostly that they don’t have a very comfortable bed. (more…)

We do live in a disposable society, where things are bought, used and discarded but at AKKA we believe in bedrooms that last a lifetime.
At AKKA, we only use quality wood. American Oak is traditional, with a beautiful grain and comes from a sustainable source. Oak definitely delivers a warmth and classical feel to a bedroom, whilst ageing beautifully over time.
Our black walnut bedroom ranges are distinct and luxurious, bringing a stylish contemporary feel.

With the beautiful weather we have been enjoying, our body clocks tend to respond to the bright morning light and have us leaping out of bed earlier. However, the longer days, our daily chores and the many modern day distractions, from social networking to late night movies, mean we may be going to bed later. We then need our bedrooms to be as comfortable as possible to ensure that the sleep we do get is deep, dreamy and unbroken. (more…)

At AKKA Bedroom Furniture we continualy hear customers say ‘ we have had this bed and mattress since we were first married’ or ‘we just got this bed cheap and have made do ever since’.
There are normally tell tale signs when your bed and mattress need changing. Do you wake up in the night with an aching back or keep rolling into your partner?
