Avante Garde sells a stylish range of goods for the home and garden, and can be found a short drive from Chatsworth House on the A623. Great attention is paid by the owners, Linda and John Lowen, to design, colour, texture and fitness-for-purpose of the many items in the shop. So committed are they that they scour the UK and Europe looking for the latest trends.

Whether it's mirrors, cushions and throws from Sweden, wicker baskets, vases, artificial flowers, books or gift wraps, there is sure to be something that will catch your eye. So well designed and crafted are the objects that the shop has featured many times in Country Living. All the items are displayed on various pieces of furniture such as painted housekeepers' cupboards, painted dressers and old pine chests, accentuating that country look that is so admired nowadays.

Plus there are many charming items for the garden, for not only do people like to personalise their interiors, they like to do the same to their gardens. French garden furniture, brightly painted bird houses, galvanised planters, sweet pea baskets, metal obelisks and beautiful benches made from old metal bed heads - Avante Garde has got them all. Another section is called "Planted", where seasonal plants, bulbs and herbs are set in beautiful containers.

Just two doors away from Avante Garde is an exciting new venture. Linda has acquired the premises to sell a selection of beautifully crafted furniture, including many original pieces that can be found nowhere else. There are glass fronted cupboards, painted tables and chairs, wardrobes, small occasional tables plus many more pieces that would add grace and elegance to any house interior. There will also be bespoke pieces using original materials. In addition, Linda will also be featuring an extension to her existing ranges of mirrors, lamps and pictures. Everything on display is designed and crafted with style in mind, and you are invited to browse to your heart's content.

Avante Garde of Baslow is a must-visit place for all your gift needs, and you can even buy Christmas gifts and decorations. It sits two miles from Chatsworth House and the market town of Bakewell. It is open seven days a week from 10am to 5pm.
