GARDENLIGHTING EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE BRITISH WEATHER IS TYPICALLY UNRELIABLE, BUT ONE THING THAT YOU CAN RELY ON THIS YEAR TO KEEP YOU SMILING THROUGHOUT THE SUPPOSEDLY HOTTER MONTHS IS YOUR LOCAL LANDSCAPE GARDENER. ’

Give them a call and see what can be done to get your garden looking ship shape so that you can sit out and make the most of that sunshine while it lasts. Your outdoor space isn’t something only to be appreciated in the day time however; with a bit of creativity and a handy electrician by your side, you can LIGHT UP YOUR GARDEN in style and enjoy it throughout the evening as well.

After all, it would be a terrible shame to let darkness fall over your new favourite feature. ’ Whether you opt for solar lamps to line the path to your pond or wall lighting for outdoor entertainment in the evening, a little ILLUMINATION goes a long way when it comes to the garden.

The possibilities are endless. ’ Highlight key design elements with UPLIGHTING or create an intimate atmosphere with fairy lights.

Shine a spotlight on your seating area or bring new life to your fountain that only those up late enough will be lucky enough to see. Call on an electrician to figure out the most eco-friendly, efficient and effective use of light to bring life to your space at night, then sit back and enjoy the ambiance of the outdoors after sunset.

’

An investment in garden lighting is an investment in your future self; for those nights when you want to turn off the television, grab yourself a blanket and indulge in a little bit of nature - whatever time of night it might be. Whether you spend them reading a book, enjoying a glass of wine or admiring the greenery, make the most of your evenings... Because ’

you ll never see the stars if you don’t leave the house

home improvements

FROM GR AND DE SIGNS TO FINISHING TO U

CHES

WHETHER IT MEANS RETHINKING THE COLOUR SCHEME OF YOUR UPSTAIRS BATHROOM, OR BUILDING THAT CONSERVATORY THAT YOU’VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT FOR YEARS, HOME IMPROVEMENT IS A GUARANTEED WAY TO BREATHE A BIT OF LIFE AND LOVE BACK INTO YOUR HUMBLE ABODE. THEY SAY THAT A CLEAN HOUSE IS A HAPPY HOUSE, SO A RECENTLY REVAMPED ONE MUST BE THE HAPPIEST OF THEM ALL! WITH THE INTERNET BY YOUR SIDE, INSPIRATION FOR THE HOME IS ONLY EVER A CLICK AWAY AND WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THE RIGHT INTERIOR DESIGN TEAM, YOU CAN BRING PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER TO ANY GIVEN SPACE. Just like a fresh new hair cut or a bit of retail therapy, working on your house can really lift your spirits. The Summer months are best spent in the garden; entertaining guests, dining al fresco or simply enjoying a bit of family time over a nice bottle of wine, so having an inviting outdoor space is the perfect place to start.

From decking to decoration, fountains to features and hammocks to hanging baskets, the opportunities are endless when it comes to making your garden your own... And you don’t always have to get your hands dirty! Have a chat with your local landscape gardener and see what ideas you can come up with, then sit back, relax and enjoy that wonderful British sunshine while it lasts.

Not only does home improvement provide a sense of achievement but adds value to your property as well, making it the perfect investment in both your well being and your future.

From grand designs to finishing touches, whatever you decide to undertake for your next project; PUT YOUR THINKING CAP ON, ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES and above all, have fun. A house is never truly a home until its been lived in, after all.

5 key benefits of adding an Orangery to your home.

What is an Orangery?

Orangeries are becoming increasingly popular and were traditionally a place for growing orange trees, hence the name ‘Orangery'. Over the years they soon became a luxury living space for those who enjoy the finer things in life.

They contain a solid brick base offering a more natural extension than that of conservatory and feature characteristics of a contemporary Orangery design with their flat roof and lantern inviting more natural light into any property. With flat rigid columns and straight pilasters, Orangeries bring great appeal to any traditional or modern home.

A focal point and stylish entertaining space.

Filled with light and blissful outside views, they make the most amazing kitchen/dining areas and are an impressive place to entertain and make memories with friends and family. They can also be adapted to contain key features such as bi-folding doors, French doors or patio doors to keep in with the desired style of your home.

Increases the value of your home.

Very low maintenance.

Orangeries can be a great investment for your home. There may eventually come a time when you wish to sell up and move onto new ventures. An Orangery installation can increase the value of your home by around 5% or more.

Orangeries are made from robust and tactile materials like timber, uPVC and aluminium. Modern orangery designs don’t really need much caring for. In fact, with self-cleaning glass now available, they are virtually maintenance free.

Offer a multi-purpose use.

Typically, modern Orangeries are used for extending lounge and dining areas, open-plan kitchens, home offices, playrooms and gym areas. An Orangery is great for that extra space, which many of us homeowners dream of, to use in any way that best suits you.

Can usually be installed without planning permission.

Most orangeries are categorised as being a “permitted development” and, therefore, don’t require planning permission. This will be always the case if your Orangery specification meets the standard criteria. To find out more about adding an Orangery to your home or whether you may need planning permission, call your no.1 local builders on 0800 975 0911.

An estimated 12 million British households choose to keep a pet. That’s no wonder, since there are a lot of benefits of having a furry friend. Although it is still an unexplainable bond, the magic between man and beast, we all know for certain we love to live with them as friends and take the best care of them.

Owning a PET THEY KEEP YOU MOVING mainly dogs are the best personal motivators for your daily outdoor exercise.

THEY MAKE SURE YOU’RE NEVER LONELY Cats and dogs (and other pets) make great companions; always waiting for you to come home and always happy for a snuggle.

THEY LOWER YOUR STRESS LEVELS Stroking or interacting with your pet helps you clear your head.

Playing with or petting an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone oxytocin and decrease production of the stress hormone cortisol.

So... do not hold back and cuddle a lot!

THEY HELP MAKE NEW FRIENDS It is precisely through your pet that you meet like-minded people. Let yourself be surprised.

THEY TEACH RESPONSIBILITY Having a pet can actually teach your kids important skills such as grooming and cleaning out the cage. But also important emotions, such as empathy, which comes in handy in later life.

Size does not matter! whether you opt for a large dog or a cute rabbit, for every household there is a perfect companion to take care of... and to love very much!

Interior design

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES WHEN IT COMES TO REDECORATING YOUR HOME, PERSONALISATION GOES MUCH FURTHER THAN SIMPLY CHOOSING A NICE WALLPAPER. YOUR HOUSE IS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR PERSONALITY AND SHOULD REFLECT THAT IN THE LAYOUT, THE FUMITURE THAT YOU CHOOSE AND THE ACCESSORIES THAT YOU HAVE ON DISPLAY AND WITH THE HELP OF A SKILLED AND CREATIVE INTERIOR DESIGNER,

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

Whether you go modern with neutral colours, key features and subtle but well planned lighting, or bold with antique furniture and eye catching ornaments, there are countless ways to bring life and character to any room. Consult with a home stylist for advice on how to maximise the potential of your space in a stylish yet convenient way, suited around your personal taste and lifestyle. From experts in home lighting to help you set the mood or feng shul consultants to carefully plan the layout and arrangement of your furniture, there’s always someone on hand to help when it comes to improving your interior design.

IF YOU’D LIKE TO BRING A BIT OF CULTURE INTO YOUR HOME, WHY NOT SUPPORT A LOCAL ARTIST

BY COMMISSIONING A PAINTING OR A PIECE OF SCULPTURE? Not only will you have a permanent talking point when it comes to entertaining guests, but you’ll have a one off piece that is bespoke and personal to you. But be aware, once you’ve had a taste of the art world, you might not want to stop!

You could end up with a gallery-worthy collection before you know it.

MOVING or IMPROVING

Moving or Renovating?

Well if your thinking of moving it can be a difficult task and stressful, but it can also be seen as a fresh start, if your thinking of completely starting a over or having abit of a make over at you new place. What is the best options for you?

WHAT DOES MOVING ENTAIL? Headaches, broken boxes and the significant costs related to moving can prove too mush for most households.

With the financial element a key factor to moving, consider contacting some local estate agents to come and give you a valuation. You may be suppressed just how much your property has increased in value. When considering a sale price you are better to get a few valuations to establish a realistic value.

With the value of your property you are then in a good position to make a sensible decision as to whether moving or staying is right for you and your family.

If your thinking about improving, where do you get started? do you renovate one room? the entire house? or maybe the kitchen.

IF YOUR HOUSE IS LOOKING TIRED OR ARE YOU GETTING A LITTLE BORED OF THE SAME SCENERY EVERY DAY, WHAT DO YOU DO? MOVE? OR IMPROVE?

Most people are scared to get started because of either they don’t know the right tradesman, are scared of getting ripped off or even fear the work wont be up to scratch. If your competent at DIY the costs can be kept reasonably low with great results.

If you hate the thought of picking up a tool the you need the right qualified tradesmen and a dream of what you want your home to look like.

Whether you have a budget of £100’s or £1000’s you really could create the home you dreamed of.

Try looking through the popular design magazines to give you some ideas of the in trend looks.

If you want to employ the services of a tradesmen be sure to check them out, ask for references or even ask to see recent work they have completed.
