Epic scenes @mrs.barnes 💘❤️🔥💘 Happy heart day CBL family! We are absolute lovers here of any and every occasion to spoil the ones we love with love. Full fam-entine between houses in the south west, south east and all the way to the USA! Off to bed in heart pyjamas and in awe of this knock your socks off shoot by Heather. It is a thrill to see the backdrop play a tiny part! Show stopping @mrs.barnes BIG love ❤️😍❤️ #cblbackdropsbts #cblbackdrops
The one you didn’t know you needed. Pinterest palette Persimmon - we had you covered all along 🧡 Fire Marble is a wild lion. And @twinsinmykitchen took it to the next level ❤️🔥 An explosion of burnt orange tones with the softest white veining that brings it quietly in line. Yes white is safe, yes grey veins have been a go to for the last decade, but anyone else so bored of seeing it?! School book sticky back marble is out and it’s a very big welcome to more intense marble tones that let you really play with natural light. Go find this baby and it’s two siblings - Lover and 24 carat. There’s just one left in the preview sale or shop all three. We do NEW ❤️🔥 #cblbackdrops #cblbackdropsbts
Who is actually ever completely head on ready for a new year new me, new resolutions?! I’d like more of the same please with a few less rollercoaster dips. A few things shifted towards the end of 2025. But my absolute love of making backdrops hasn’t faltered. I get that feeling of joy packing every single order. Thinking where they might end up, what will be on them, in front of them, will anyone realise it’s a backdrop once they see the photo or video. Keep going is my motto for this year. If it gets hard change something, anything to find a new angle or direction. And sit with the hardness too. The feelings it brings. Having a small business isn’t for the faint hearted but being determined and passionate is the only way I know to be. One life and all that jazz. Let’s go 2026 with lots of 2025 coming with me! #cblbackdropsbts #photobackdrops
All the cheers as we ring in New Years! As a small family business of two sisters of ten years I thought we’d seen it all in a decade. Weathering material rollercoasters, printers that had minds of their own sometimes spitting out ink, a pandemic that flipped everything on its head with back door deliveries and waving to your favourite DHL driver through the glass front door. Believing in being a creative direction for the industry over piling it high to sell it cheap. It’s harder than ever before in 2026 for us all, AI has no empathy or understanding of personal service! But I know you do, that being available pretty much 24/7 for my clients, racing on trains and driving hours to not let your shoots down means something. Worth the extra. Thank you for everything it truly means the world 🥰🥰 @thegingerwithspice you knock my socks off. You bring the backdrops to life! Chinking from across the pond tonight feeling extraordinarily lucky to still be making backdrops for clients around the world into our 10th year! Happy NY one and all ✨ #cblbackdrops
Love them or hate them, sugared cranberries are everywhere this season ✨
And in my humble opinion, they deserve the hype 💪
They’re the easiest festive flex.
Desserts, cocktails, cheese boards, or straight from the bowl. Sweet, crunchy, tart perfection 😋🙌
How to:
Heat equal parts water and sugar until dissolved.
Add cranberries (and rosemary if using) and gently simmer for a few minutes (don’t let them burst).
Lift out and cool on a rack until tacky (30–45 minutes).
Roll in sugar and let dry completely.
Psst…don’t toss the syrup, it’s cocktail gold ✨🍸
Used these on my pear and chocolate tart for some extra bling. Check out my recent reel for inspo 🤌
Save this. Share it. Sugar everything. ‘Tis the season afterall 😉🎄

But we hope they are worth that extra investment. I’m here any and every time on the end of my mobile, for a message, FaceTime or good old chin wag about backdrops. We have never been about just following photographic trends, we are about leading them! Go find a new favourite in the biggest sample sale we’ve ever had. Thank YOU for all your support this year into next 🙌🫶👊 #cblbackdrops #cblbackdropsbts

This is the cherry (boom boom) on the top of a 2025 year cake with you, supplying your backdrops. What a launch. Crushed it team Trip! #cblbackdropsbts #tripdrinks
Remembrance ❤️ Sharing these beautiful poppies by @thesugarhobby ❤️ Jath your tributes are always so thoughtful, respectful and inspiring. I love your honesty, behind the scenes of how you shoot your content, sharing all your knowledge, the juggle and such a fitting tribute to those remembering and marking today. #remembrance
Do you know what gives me butterflies - painted wood! 😝 13 years of shooting surfaces and I’m still as giddy, if not more, than those first floorboards! Just loooook at what kept coming out of the two vans that came down from Yorkshire. Two top gents and one country mouse (plus teen mice) took a good few hours to haul the most incredible haul of boards, tiles, marbles, laminates and more into our little farm park studio. Never over the feeling of how one of these could become part of your next creative shoot! Testing is well underway and the first samples are absolute bargains - 25% in the sale outlet now. Go see! #cblbackdropsbts
Emerging from under the biggest pile of boards and marbles 👋 What would you have risked?! Or not a chance?! As a former girl guide, I’m all for being prepared 🤣 Prepped, spinning various scenarios in my mind, planning and organising life years and years ahead. You’ll find bits and bobs saved for (hopefully) future grandchildren in the loft, but this time I felt it in my waters that taking a risk was 💯 the right decision. These backdrops and I were joined by an invisible string 😆 and bringing these into new lives as printed backdrops will be such a joy! You name it, it’s in here. A rainbow of tones and textures curated by such respected industry photographers over three decades. I want to continue that legacy, making these surfaces accessible worldwide - let the shooting, printing and testing commence! Natty and I have spent hours this week reorganising my attempt at storing them in the studio straight off the van 🫣 ready for me to start properly and systematically shooting and creating a new collection ready for all your videos and imagery through 2026. I may or may not have got completely carried away and already found some favourites. The Fire Marble ❤️🔥 has stolen my heart. Go see what’s new and use FALL10 at checkout! 🥳🥳🥳 #cblbackdropsbts #cblbackdrops
