Queensgate Brings Primark To Peterborough With news which will transform shoppers’ lives in the area, Queensgate is thrilled to announce its bringing retail giant Primark to the city centre. Following a £20million investment, the centre will see a 930m extension to make room for the fashion retailer, with work due to start in spring 2011. Primark is set to open its doors in November 2012 right in time for the festive season.

The hugely popular store offering value shopping will be one of the largest units in Queensgate, showcased over two impressive floors. Stocking the full line of women’s, men’s, children’s and homeware, shoppers will be able to indulge in the all delights they come to expect from Primark’s unbeatable and low cost offering.

Phil Drinkwater, marketing manager at

Queensgate, comments: “Being able to announce that we’re bringing such a hugely popular and in-demand store to the city centre is incredible. We know shoppers have wanted Primark in Peterborough for a long time, so are in no doubt that the store will drive high footfall and encourage even more visitors to Queensgate.

“Already in the last few months we’ve seen our Republic store grow in size and new stores Pandora, Schuh, Klass, Superdry and Appy Feet open. Primark will cement Queensgate as the number one retail destination in the region and create a high number of employment opportunities, continuing to help

support the local economy.”

Peter Cooper, Portfolio Director for owner’s Hammerson, commented: “Delivering a new MSU for Primark alongside securing aspirational and affordable fashion brands is part of our core strategy to underline the regional status the scheme already enjoys.

“Our full line John Lewis, Waitrose and M&S stores already give us a strong foundation but we cannot be complacent. The best retail destinations need constant evolution and serious attention to detail in order to stay ahead of the competition to deliver the best possible sales platform for retailers and rental growth for investors.”

Sue Ryder’s Febru-hairy is back!

Once again, Sue Ryder Care is asking local supporters to fi re up their imagination and fundraise around the theme of hair.

The charity has renamed the month of February as ‘Febru-hairy’, where you’re encouraged to participate in hairrelated fundraising challenges throughout the month to raise vital funds for Sue Ryder Care at Thorpe Hall Hospice.

Fundraiser, Mikey Clarke said; “We’d like as many people as possible to get involved in Febru-hairy as this campaign caters for everybody. You can fundraise as part of a company, school or college, at your local pub or

siness development?

if you want to do something on your own. You can do anything…

Cut it, grow it, wax it, trim it, curl it, fake it, love it, hate it. This is one of my favourite Sue Ryder Care challenges because so many people get really creative, and it has always raised a large amount of vital funds for our local Hospice.”

So, why not host a bad hair day, get a group of friends or colleagues to wear a crazy wig, take part in a sponsored leg wax or head shave, or even organise a beard or moustache competition? These are just some ideas people can choose from. And be sure to let us know if you come up with any diff erent ideas of your own.

To get involved in Sue Ryder’s Febru-hairy month in February 2011, contact Mikey Clarke on 01733 330060 or email michael.clarke@ suerydercare.org.

For further information or to download a Febru-hairy pack (which includes a Poster, Sponsorship Form, and Cut-out Moustache) then visit www.suerydercare.org/febru-hairy.

Advice

Christmas was expensive - you owe money on your credit card, your bank account is overdrawn and you are struggling to pay back a loan so what can you do?

D

•

Step One – make a list of your debts

• • • •

on’t panic, but it’s important to do something, because the problem won’t just go away. Don’t ignore the people you owe money to (your creditors). Contact them to explain why you’re having problems and follow these steps to help you get back in control of your fi nances.

Before you can tackle a debt problem, you need to collect together information about your aff airs. Make a list of all your creditors with the following information: the name and address of the creditor the account or reference number the amount you owe.

It’s a good idea to keep the latest letters for each debt together in one place so that you can easily fi nd them. If you’ve received any court papers or letters that seem urgent, you may need to act quickly. If you’re not sure what you should do next, get advice straight away from an experienced adviser.

Once you’ve made a list of all your creditors, you need to work out which ones to deal with fi rst. You need to deal with some debts fi rst before others because the consequences of not paying these debts can be more serious than for other debts. The debts you deal with fi rst are called priority debts.

The debts you deal with after your priority debts are called non-priority debts.

Step Two - Prioritise Your Debts, including

Mortgage or rent arrears. If you don’t pay these, you could lose your home Fuel arrears. If you don’t pay these, your fuel could be cut off council tax arrears Court fi nes such as magistrates’ court fi nes for traffi c off ences arrears of maintenance payable to an ex-partner or children.

This includes Child Support you owe to the Child Support Agency Income tax or VAT arrears TV licence or TV licence arrears - it’s a criminal off ence to use a TV without a valid licence and you could be fi ned.

Step Three – work out your budget

List all the income and expenses for your household. Be honest and make sure that the amounts are realistic. You can use a budget sheet to help you do this.

Under income, include: earnings for your partner and yourself any benefi ts you are paid, including Child Benefi t and tax credits maintenance from an ex-partner for you or your children.

Include any Child Support from the Child Support Agency contributions from other members of your family and any lodgers.

Think about the ways in which you might earn extra money or increase your income. You may be able to claim benefi ts or tax credits.

Under expenses, include: • Housekeeping. Fill in realistic amounts for what you spend on all your expenses, including food, cigarettes

• • • • • •

and pet food Housing costs. This should include mortgage or rent, a second mortgage or secured loan, service charges and life or endowment insurance cover attached to your mortgage Council tax Fuel and water charges Telephone charges Travel expenses. Include both public transport and the cost of running a car such as road tax, insurance, and maintenance Insurance such as buildings and contents insurance on your home Childcare costs TV licence and any TV rental costs clothes Any other essential expenses Money you set aside for emergencies.

When you’ve added up all the fi gures, you’ll see if you have any money left over to pay your debts. You may even be able to see if you can make some savings. An advice agency can help you draw up a budget and help you increase your income if this is possible.

Step Four - sort out your priority debts

agreement between you and your creditors about how you’ll pay off your debts. Get more advice from an experienced adviser about IVAs putting all your debts into one loan. This is called loan consolidation. It isn’t usually a good idea to borrow more money to get out of debt and there can be serious disadvantages. Make sure you get advice before you take out another loan.

If you have little or no money left after you’ve done your budget, have nothing of value to sell and think your circumstances are unlikely to get better soon, you will have limited options for dealing with your non-priority debts. The options you’ll have are: • asking your creditors to write off your debt • applying for bankruptcy • applying for a Debt Relief Order. This is like bankruptcy but for people who can’t aff ord to make themselves bankrupt. You can apply if you have debts of less than £15,000 and a low income. The application has to be made through an adviser called an ‘approved intermediary’.

Further help

The National Debtline telephone number is 0808 808 4000. There is also a website at: Show them your budget and try to make an arrangement to pay back what you owe. For example, you may be able to pay www.nationaldebtline.co.uk. an extra bit each month until the arrears are cleared. Or you The Insolvency Service may not have any extra money at the moment but know you Enquiry line: 0845 602 9848 will have a lump sum in three months’ time which will clear the debt completely.

Get advice straight away.

Step Five sort out your nonpriority debts

How you deal with your non-priority debts will depend on whether you have any money left over from dealing with your priority debts and paying for essential household expenses.

If you have money to spare, you may have several options for dealing with your non-priority debts. You may have the option of: making off ers to creditors yourself asking an Advice Agency or Debt Management Company to make off ers for you applying to court for an Administration Order. You can apply for an Administration Order if you have at least one county court judgment against you and debts of less than £5000 arranging an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA). This is a legal

A beautiful iridescent crystal of grey, blue and gold, Labradorite is a highly mystical stone full of esoteric knowledge. A stone for protection from the negativity others push upon us, banishing the fears and insecurities we have, allowing our minds to calm and focus on the important things in our lives.

As a healing stone, Labradorite helps to reduce our stress levels, relieves PMT and lowers blood pressure. It is used in the treatment of eye and brain disorders, and can aid the regulation of your metabolism.

Labradorite is also said to balance hormones, treat rheumatism and relieve gout. It can even help in the treatment of colds.

Spiritually, Labradorite helps us raise our consciousness and aids psychic intuition allowing us to connect to the universe, therefore enhancing our understanding and knowledge.

Labradorite helps us keep our feet on the ground, giving us strength,

The Wedding Count down Begins.....

By Kate Gibbard

N

ational Marriage Week runs from the 7th-14th of February, so to get in the spirit of things we thought we’d give our wedding couples a helping hand with planning that all important day.

Whether you’ve recently got engaged or have been engaged for some time, organising your wedding can be one of the most exciting things you’ll ever do. If your wedding is next year, now is the time to get those creative juices fl owing – and with some organisation and inspiration, you can make sure it’s as stress free as possible.

And let’s face it – who needs an excuse to have some fun?

Agree a budget - and st ick t o it!

Discussing and setting a budget should be your fi rst priority. You need to talk about what you want to spend and what you can realistically aff ord. Be honest and discuss any concerns you might have – remember, you both need to be happy with your decisions!

Do you have any ideas already? If you don’t, it’s time to start brainstorming! Are there any friends’ weddings coming up soon?

They’re always good for ideas. Buy a wedding magazine and start tearing out ideas that grab you. Perhaps there is a local wedding show to go to? You’ll fi nd lots of ideas online – and there are some brilliant websites packed with inspirational ideas, latest bargains and forums to discuss ideas.

Sometimes a good starting point is to think about what you both don’t want.

Remember to ask friends and family – they might have some ideas you’ve not thought of.

BUT, remember, this is your day as a couple, so don’t get bullied into taking on other people’s ideas!

You might fi nd it’s easier to decide your budget by breaking the day into ‘key’ sections: wedding attire, venue (ceremony and reception), catering, fl owers, rings, photographer, entertainment, stationery, transport and honeymoon.

If family have off ered to help you with costs, have that conversation now – it’s better for everyone to be in the picture, and then you know how much you need to save.

Once you know how much you can allocate to each part of the day, you can start to research your options.

The trick is to stick to your budget – believe me, it’s far too easy to get carried away with all the options available.

Get researching

You’ve got plenty of time, so don’t panic. Starting your wedding planning early means you have the luxury of being able to look at all your options – and then again if needs be!

12 mont hs t o go.

Where do we st art?

This early on, there’s no point worrying about who’s sitting where at the reception or what your first dance is going to be. You just need to make a start on the basic features of your day.

Date – when do you want to get married? If you can pin it down to a certain month, that will help when you get quotes. But remember, some months, like during the winter, are cheaper than others. Midweek is also cheaper than a Saturday. Have you checked with family and friends in case you’ve picked a date that clashes with another family event?

Guest List – you don’t need a final number at this stage, but when it comes to getting quotes you’ll need to work on an approximate number. It might also be worth making a decision now on whether to include children into the list – making a rule early on will avoid confusion for everybody.

Themes – is there a specific colour or visual theme you want to incorporate into your day? Do you want a relaxed feel or something more traditional? Are there any specific styles that are personal to you as a couple?

Venue – religious ceremony, civil ceremony? At home or away? Maybe you fancy ‘the destination wedding’? The choice is endless!

Catering – buffet, bbq, sit down meal?

Reception – local village hall, pub, hotel, marquee, or something different? A lot of places get booked up early – sometimes a year in advance so you do need to consider this option seriously, especially if you have a particular date in mind.

Bridesmaids – if you’re having bridesmaids, how many do you want?

Will you be buying their dresses? Once you’ve made your choices, you can delegate work to them. After all, they are your attendants, so you can make them work for the privilege. This also applies to the Best Man! Photographer – do you want traditional or relaxed photos? What about a video?

Entertainment – disco, live band, classical music, chocolate fountains, fireworks, highland piper, line dancing, belly dancing… there is something for all tastes and budgets!

Transport – limo, classic car, sports car, horse and carriage? Or perhaps you’re thinking of something different?

Wedding attire – the men seem to get off lightly here, but as with all things there is more choice the earlier you start to look. For brides, finding that perfect dress can take as long as you want it to, and there’s no harm looking for ideas now. Some dresses need to be ordered, so it’s best to start early.

Honeymoon – in most cases, it’s too early to start worrying about this now. But, there’s no harm in looking for ideas now and keeping your 16 SIMPLY HOLBEACH www.simply-holbeach.co.uk

eyes peeled for a bargain.

Health and Beauty – it’s time to start looking after your health and making sure you’re in tip top condition for that special day. Healthy eating, exercise, a good skin care routine - maybe even some time for pampering?

Booking

Once you’ve discussed these key areas, the next stage is start getting quotes and making visits. Don’t let any one bulldoze you into parting with your money – make sure it’s what you both want (marriage is about compromise, remember!).

Once you start parting with money, keep a record of what you’ve paid for and when final payments are due. Why not set up a spreadsheet with everything on it so you can see what’s been paid? It can be very therapeutic to see things being ticked off!

So to summarise, here is a list of ‘essentials’ to tick off with just 12 months to go…

• • • • • • •

Budget agreed Wedding date set (why not send out ‘save the date’ cards?)

Approximate guest numbers discussed Wedding venue (ceremony and reception) – getting quotes/ booked Photographer & transport – getting quotes/booked Entertainment – discussing/getting quotes/booked Wedding attire – brainstorming started!

What’s next?

As the months go down, you’ll need to think about flowers, booking your honeymoon, menus, the wedding cake, rings, hen/stag parties, invitations and wedding lists.

But there’s no need to worry about any of that now. Just stay calm and take one step at a time, and you’ll enjoy every minute of your wedding planning!

r e n r o C s ’ t Pe How responsible are you, when it comes to your pet, this February?

February is traditionally known for candy hearts, roses and romance, but it’s also ‘Responsible Pet Owner’s Month’ too and Valentine’s Day and the aftermath will put any pet owner to the test.

If you think the only thing dangerous about this romantic time is cupid’s arrow, think again! For pets Valentine’s and the following weeks can be a disaster! Each year veterinarians see a rise in poison cases following February 14th, many involving chocolate and lilies; a flower that’s potentially fatal to cats.

Follow our advice on what you need to keep out of paws way this February and you’ll be celebrated as a responsible pet owner this month.

A thoughtful bouquet or a single rose...

This Valentine’s your loved one said it with flowers, but what flowers did they choose? Most people don’t realise that all species of lily can be potentially fatal to cats. If you’re one of the lucky ones and have received a gorgeous floral arrangement, delicately sift through it and remove any dangerous flora.

If your pet becomes ill and suffers from symptoms such as stomach upset, vomiting or diarrhoea, it’s likely he/she may have ingested an offending flower or plant.

And don’t forget that every rose has a thorn! It may be a token of love, but it’s also a thorny attacker for a pet. Animals don’t realise that biting, stepping on or swallowing roses could cause a puncture, which may result in a serious infection. De-thorn your roses far away from your pet.

Forbidden Chocolate

Chocolate contains methylxanthine alkaloids in the form of theobromine and caffeine, which cause constriction of arteries, increased heart rate and central nervous system stimulation. This can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, and increased urination, and can eventually cause excitability, increased respiration and heartbeat, stiffness, seizures, and exaggerated reflexes.

Seasoned pet owners will know the dangers of chocolate for their pets.

“Vets see a rise in poison cases following 14th February - Keep it out of paws way this Valentine’s.”

23 High Street, Spalding PE11 1TX Tel: 01775 713005 www.rookespetproducts.co.uk

So go ahead and indulge, but don’t leave chocolate out for your pets to find.

Chocolate may be the food for lovers, but it is very toxic to dogs and cats. A small amount can cause serious consequences.

18 SIMPLY HOLBEACH www.simply-holbeach.co.uk

A toxic cocktail

Chilled champagne, a glass or two of wine is all part and parcel of romance, but beware!

Spilled wine, half a glass of champagne or leftover liquor can do a great deal of harm to a pet. Being smaller than humans, a little bit of alcohol can cause no end of problems, including: vomiting, diarrhea, lack of coordination, central nervous system depression, tremors, difficulty breathing, metabolic disturbances and even a coma. Don’t leave any alcohol out where your pet may be tempted to lap it up!

Playing with fire

brush their own teeth; Pedigree Dentastix are one of the best methods!

Just be careful. Monitor the candles and try to keep them away from any pets in the house. And when you leave the room, put out the fire - or take it with you upstairs!

As a responsible pet owner it’s up to you to give your pet something to smile about. Make sure your pet has fresh breath, squeaky-clean teeth and most importantly a healthy grin.

Are you planning a romantic evening by Candlelight? That’s great, but keep in mind that cats and dogs are intrigued by dancing flames. Not only will whiskers get singed, but sometimes the hot wax will burn their cute little paws and faces.

Undressed to impress

As surprising as it may be, pets love lingerie —the fancier the better.

We’re not kidding! Every year hundreds of dogs and cats undergo extensive surgery to remove panties and bras from their stomachs and intestines.

“Don’t lead them to temptation.”

The problem usually begins when your underwear winds up on the floor.

Your pet thinks it’s a new toy and sometimes swallows them. Ingested lingerie causes deadly bowel or stomach obstructions and must be surgically removed.

Remember to pick up your undergarments before your cat or dog has time to get to them!

A love bite

Most pet owners don’t realise that bad breath is more than a faux pas. It can be the first warning sign of periodontal disease, which left unchecked can actually cause severe problems for your pet.

Pet responsibility goes way beyond just feeding and exercising your fury friends. It involves time, training and attention to things you’ve probably never even considered!

Whilst Valentine’s Day highlights a whole host of potential hazards, all holidays and seasons bring with them a new set of challenges.

Make sure you’re prepared and be as responsible as you can all year round.

If you need any help or advice on any of the topics covered above or you have your own concerns, talk to our experienced and friendly staff in store and we’ll do what we can to help you.

Did you know that February is also Pet Dental Month?

Sadly dental hygiene is one of the areas where many pet owners fall short on their responsibilities. Pets are just as subject to dental disease as we are and you need to brush their teeth twice a day or provide them with the means to

Business Focus

Looking for a friendly local?

Look no further than The Horse & Groom If you are looking for a clean, welcoming local pub then The Horse and Groom in Holbeach could be the perfect place for you.

Nick and Tracey Williams decided over 6 years ago that Holbeach was the place for them and decided The Horse & Groom on High Street was the perfect pub for their family. They fell in love with the traditional coaching inn with its old stables and are proud of the work they have carried out over the past 6 years to bring it up to the standard it is today.

It really is a traditional family run pub with a real emphasis on being the heart of the local community. Whether you fancy a coff ee while you are shopping in town, a lunchtime snack, an evening meal or a Sunday lunch, The Horse & Groom off ers it all. All food is home cooked using local produce and available lunchtime and evenings.

If you have relatives or clients for your work looking for local accommodation the old stables have been converted into three self contained en-suite bedrooms with luxury fi nishing touches in the bathrooms, each room comes with a fl atscreen TV and tea and coff ee making facilities.

One of the earliest recorded Licencee’s was William Motley, by trade a tailor, from 1855 - 1864. Previous to William Motley taking over the licence of the Horse and Groom he was the licencee of the String of Horses in Holbeach.

The 1861 Census shows him well established at the Horse and Groom with his wife, Sarah, 3 servants and 2 lodgers. Of the servants, one was the housekeeper and the other two were the ostler and groom. This is an indication of the inn’s status off ering accommodation for travellers. The fact that an ostler and groom were employed would suggest that there must have been suffi cient horses for them to attend.

There was also a brewery attached. The feature of brewing their own beer at old inns indicated a lively trade.

If you would like to reserve a table, enquire about rooms or get involved with one of the many teams at The Horse & Groom call 01406 422 234, visit www. horseandgroomholbeach.co.uk or why not pop in to see Tracey and Nick at 65 High Street, Holbeach.

History The premises appear to have been built in the early 1800s.

The inn is low roofed with the usual yard, stabling and paddock at the rear. Also at the rear of the inn was once held the local horse market. Then exterior is still orginal and the interior small bars have not been altered too much or spoilt so that it still retains much of its original charm.

Family Life

Get Out and Socialise!

It’s good for you and your children

By Kate Gibbard

When you’re a full-time mum, dad or grandparent, it can be easy to get caught up in the 24/7 world of parenting, with its never-ending demands and responsibilities. Sometimes you can fi nd yourself feeling isolated, cut off from your social life. Perhaps you fi nd yourself craving some adult conversation.

has emotional benefi ts – it can be very easy to feel depressed and unmotivated when you’re on your own with a child. Meeting others gets you out of the house, embracing your own identity, which isn’t just ‘being a parent.’ Going out and mixing with others helps beat stress too – as they say, a problem shared is a problem halved. And if you can incorporate some exercise into social activities, even better!

talk to other parents.

According to research by the University of Sheffi eld, social parents actually have brighter children. Researchers looked at the social lives of 3,000 parents, examining whether they belonged to groups such as sports clubs, voluntary or church groups and other community associations. The results showed that children of sociable parents were between one and four percentage points ahead of classmates whose parents led more solitary lives

Building a Social Network Meeting with other parents

Can you join an exercise class or hobby-based activity? Look for something that would involve interaction - it’s no good running on the treadmill for 30 minutes and talking to no one! This would also give you the chance to talk to others who aren’t necessarily parents or carers, a chance to engage in diff erent conversations.

If your child goes to a toddler group or playgroup, why not arrange to meet up with other parents and carers from the group? You could go to a café while the children are having their social time. Or you could invite everyone back to yours for coff ee.

It only needs one person to suggest it!

At the weekends, the whole family could visit a local attraction or eat out, giving everyone a chance to interact. Breaking the routine is healthy!

Joining a group

If your child goes to groups in the week, why not look for an activity or group that you can join at the same time?

Check out your local children’s centre as they often run classes for adults that coincide with It’s all too easy to let your child sit and watch classes for children.

HELP YOUR GARDEN BIRDS

Nature

By Jeremy Eyeons, Member South Lincs R.S.P.B.Group With Winter here, spare a thought for your lovely garden birds who have most likely given you hours of free entertainment during the Spring and Summer months. With temperatures often around freezing point they urgently need our help to survive.

Finding food and ensuring that they eat enough of it to build adequate fat supplies to store on the body and burn for energy is the greatest test for wild birds during the Winter and the food we can provide can be the diff erence between life and death.

During cold snaps the ground becomes too hard for birds like thrushes, blackbirds, sparrows and starlings to forage and probe .

How to Help Our Feathered Friends •

• • •

• • • •

If you haven’t already got one in your garden,set up a bird table.This can be a base for kitchen scraps, high calorie seed mixes,cooked rice and pasta and even the insides of cooked potatoes.

Put out hanging feeders with black sunfl ower seeds,sunfl ower hearts,and unsalted peanuts.These will attract fi nches,tits and if you are patient perhaps a woodpecker!

Ensure a fresh supply of water every day (Do not use any antifreeze products).

Thrushes, starlings and blackbirds love autumn fruits such as pears and apples.If you live in a more rural location these may attract migrant redwings or fi eldfares into your garden.This Winter has also seen a record infl ux into the countryside and gardens on the east coast of that magnifi cent migrant from Scandinavia The Waxwing.

Goldfi nches and perhaps siskins love nyjer seeds which are small and black and have a high oil content.

Bird cake and other fat based products such as fat balls are an excellent Winter food and are easily and cheaply obtained.

Put up nest boxes to provide roost sites for the smaller birds,who in turn may repay you in the Spring by using them for breeding.

If food turns stale or mouldy on the birdtable you are probably placing too much out at once.Stale food is a breeding ground for

some types of salmonella which can be lethal.Large quantities of food scattered on the ground can attract vermin-so be sensible with what you leave out.

You may witness a fl urry of activity early morning and late afternoon so be selective when you put food out. Finally ,it is important to continue to feed the birds once you start.You may well be rewarded with seeing birds you have never seen before close up and in your garden. Enjoy them!

The South Lincs.Group Of The R.S.P.B. was founded in May 1987 and is run by a group of volunteers to promote the work of the RSPB and for the enjoyment of members and all nature lovers locally.Though based in Boston,our membership covers the whole of South Lincolnshire and to date we have contributed approximately £60000 to RSPB conservation projects,with much of this spent locally in the county.The Group has over 300 members who receive a regular newsletter and are able to enjoy a wide range of organised events which are of interest to anyone from beginner to expert. Please visit www.southlincsrspb.org.uk for further information.

If you spot a bird in your garden why not take a picture and send in to us?

Creating a Feature Wall

By Sue Hessom of Tidy Interiors

If you are looking to generate the ‘wow’ factor in your room but time and money constraints won’t allow for a full make-over, then why don’t you just add a feature wall? After all, decorating is all about creating atmosphere and impact and a feature wall can turn an ordinary room into an outstanding one in no time at all.

A feature wall can be introduced anywhere in the house, it’s just down to personal preference – but consider your location carefully; remember the idea of a feature wall is to create maximum impact; it should draw the eye as soon as you enter a room or area, so being creative on a wall that sits behind an open door won’t have the same impact and you’ll end up being disappointed with the fi nished results!

Once you have your location, your next consideration is the material you are going to use – wall coverings no longer begin and end with paint or wallpaper so it really depends on individual tastes and abilities:- Paint

By Kate Gibbard

The easiest way to create a feature wall is with a fresh coat of paint. If you have a fairly neutral colour scheme this is the easiest option. Just pick out a colour that appears in the accessories or consult a colour wheel to fi nd a tone of colour that will complement your style - don’t be afraid to be bold. You can paint the wall one colour but create a dramatic eff ect by using a paint with a specialist faux fi nish i.e. suede. Or you can add interest by using diff erent fi nishing techniques i.e. rag rolling. If you are feeling really adventurous, generate impact by painting vertical stripes on the wall, just vary the size of the stripes and paint them in alternating colours that compliment the rest of your décor. As long as you have a steady hand, plenty of patience and some masking tape it really is a simple technique to use for a very eff ective look.

Home & Property w Feature walls are not all about the wall coverings, you can simply add impact by hanging a nice piece of art, or an oversized canvas on a focal wall and focus the attention on it throughout the day by clever use of lighting. Mirrors are also good for feature walls, just make sure the size and frame will provide the impact that you are looking for.

Wallpaper

Even if you want to keep your room fairly neutral you may prefer to use wallpaper – adding light coloured wallpaper with texture will still provide impact; it will just be more subtle. But, if you like colour you can now purchase some luxurious wallpaper combining rich colours, bold prints and touchable textures that will create a real statement area. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination. The wallpaper might be too much for all walls, but using it on one wall will produce a stunning focal point – just ensure you choose the right colours and design – the last thing you want is to clash with your existing interior.

Other materials

For those who are experimental and into DIY you can be more adventurous and use beautiful coverings made from bamboo, dried grasses, lavish silks, metallic or even woven leather. Reclaimed wood panelling looks fantastic in a bedroom when placed behind headboards, likewise diff erent shaped/coloured tiles look great sat behind the sink or shower area in a bathroom. If that seems like too much work, why not have a look at pre-printed wall mural. They are available in a fantastic range of styles and themes that are guaranteed to generate a real ‘buzz’ with all guests, just search the internet to fi nd a design that you like. They can be printed to fi t the full size of your wall, so are perfect for creating a massive impact on large fl at areas.

Design your own

Feature walls are not all about the wall coverings, you can simply add impact by hanging a nice piece of art, or an oversized canvas on a focal wall and focus the attention on it throughout the day by clever use of lighting. Mirrors are also good for feature walls, just make sure the size and frame will provide the impact that you are looking for. You can also produce a feature using a group of photographs or pictures.

They don’t have to cover the whole of the wall – more impact will be created if you stick to one area of the wall.

Use diff erent size frames of the same fi nish and play around with the layout as it will have a greater eff ect if the pattern isn’t symmetrical.

Whatever your tastes and whatever your budget you can create a real statement with just a little imagination; the most creative ideas don’t necessarily have to be the most expensive. Sometimes a lick of paint is all that it takes!
