A matter of style when it comes to windows; ask amabile.

Byline: John Amabile 

Q Can you tell me what style of curtain headings would suit different styles in my house?

A Pinch pleat gives a tailored look as grabs of fabric are pinched at intervals. This is a series of pleats created when curtain tape is pulled in fully and is lovely for flowing bedrooms. Tab tops are strips of fabric that simply loop over a pole and make a lovely informal heading.

Eyelets give clean, simple lines and allow the fabric to evenly drape across a window. Tie tops are fun for kids' rooms where the ties can be ribbon or a contrasting fun fabric.

Q I have been looking for grey vases. The shops seem to have black and white but not grey.

A Grey, although cool in colour, is a hot favourite right now. John Lewis sells the Grey Lustre vase at 24.99. As you know, it's all about the nicknacks you need to pull a design together. Go to www.johnlewis.com or call 0845 6049049.

Q I love the wallpaper you use on 60 Minute Makeover is there a site where I can see collections and can I buy them online?

A All the papers the designers and I use on screen are at www.wallpaperdirect.co.uk they include Harlequin to Romo and Osborne & Little. Or you can email specific companies who will tell you local stockists. Full details of what I have used are on www.itv.com/60mm

Q I saw lovely sequin cushions recently and now cannot find them. I am looking for something to add the wow factor.

A To add bedtime bling, visit Dunelm Mill shops and pick up some sequined cushions at 14.99 each. More details are available at www.dunelm-mill.co.uk or call 0845 1656565.

Q Where can I buy an inexpensive bed with a buttoned headboard for my spare room? I broke the bank on my own bedroom but don't want it to look as thought I have scrimped elsewhere.

A A hot favourite of mine is the 'Cuba' bed from Asda. With an attached buttoned leather effect headboard, this bed is well worth the money at only 200. Go to www.asda.co.uk or call 0500 100 055.

Q I am looking for black crockery for my new dining room. I've been looking about and it's all grey or dark brown. Can you help?

A Debenhams sell the Betty Jackson collection in their Manhattan range, which is a great way to build your setting. Go to www.debenhams.com.

Q I am looking for two sets of very light glass and chrome nests of tables. I have seen a lot of bargain ones but am looking for well-designed ones as the room is very minimal. Can you help?

A Habitat sells the Tablo nest of tables, priced 69. It's well-designed in slim, elegant chromed steel with glass tops these tables really do look the part! Go to www.habitat.co.uk or your nearest Habitat store.

Q I want to buy some guest towels in colours that I won't use every day but will be nice for guests. Where can I get good quality at a good price?

A The Cotton USA towels from BHS are good quality and come in a great range of colours. Prices start at 6. Go to www.bhs.co.uk or call 0845 196 000.

Q I am looking for a couple of cushions for my sofa. I have just bought a shaggy rug and would like something that will match.

A Supermarket giants Sainsbury's sell a shaggy cushion at just 8.99. These look fun and will give essential matching texture. Go to www.sainsburys.co.uk or call 0800 636262.

Q I am looking for panels that move for flat blinds for my conservatory to close the area off. I don't want doors but just a soft screen for the evening.

A Ikea sells the 'Kvartal' screen system from only 9.99. It's easy to install and with good panel options too. Go to www.ikea.co.uk
