Welcome

elcome to our April edition of Home and Living. The sun is shining! All our attention is to the outdoors. Even though our Irish weather isn’t always condusive to outdoors it does make us appreciate every fine day from our varying climate, we all seem to love sitting out in our gardens when the sun shines. I love getting all the pots planted at the first sign of sun so I can sit back and enjoy them for the summer. We are looking at outdoor furniture, pots, plants, colours for your patio this month and conservatory furniture for the chilly days you want to enjoy your garden from inside. Location, location, location, our house this month in Nunstown, Aghadoe boosts amazing living space, ready to move right in. It’s on the market with Sherry Fitzgerald Coughlans. Hopefully our fine weather is a good sign of the summer to come so get the wellies on now, so you can sit and enjoy your garden when the sun shines!

atios, along with decks, are the workhorses of outdoor entertaining. Although many factors affect the success of a patio, the most important consideration is its location. A patio's site affects how much it is used and influences how well it serves the intended purpose. If the patio is for outdoor dining, having it close to the house - and kitchen - increases the likelihood of its being used. A spot that is convenient to the kitchen may have too much or too little sun or an unpleasant view. Wind, sound, and privacy should also be considered. You may be able to screen the unattractive views, add shade, or remove limbs to bring sunlight into the area. Consider the view from where you will be sitting. If the view is a problem, an attractive fence or trellis can be a quick solution. The design of a patio should take into account the style of the house and the surrounding garden, and the purpose the patio is to serve. Size matters! A large patio is expensive and may not be necessary if you plan only intimate gatherings with family or a few friends. However, if you like large parties, a bigger patio may be a worthwhile investment. As a general rule, a patio is open and exposed; it visually spills into the surrounding areas. To avoid feeling exposed, consider adding a pergola or other overhead structure to give the patio a sense of containment. Add interest to a patio by having it slightly elevated or sunken; don’t forget drainage if part or all your patio is below the surrounding grade. Sometimes paving a narrow side yard or other small area can turn an otherwise unused spot into a functional patio. Don’t forget some space for potted plants to add colour.

ake your sunroom, garden room and orangery work harder for you. Having recently extended our kitchen/living room by adding an orangery, we wanted to utilize this room all year round so we decided to include a gas fire in our plans. This was one of the best investments we’ve ever made in our home, giving this open plan area a focal point but also enough heat to ensure this room is used all year. So if you're in the process of building, extending or just retrofitting a wood burning stove, or gas fire, can change the way you live in your home for the better.

How about having some fun with the accent colours? ''Harissa'' by Dulux Signature range
T ''0695 Indian Necklace'' by Colourtrend
he accent colour is the one that adds a finishing touch to the scheme. They are the colours that can be bold and vivid, but also more toned down darker neutrals would work as accent colours. The trick is to use them sparingly. It is like the quirky handbag or a pair of earrings that complete the look and add the final ''wow factor''. This year watch out for red-orange and mustard, the warmer hues are making a comeback. The turquoise and mint green look well in the garden area and also on the front door. The fresh blue-green lifts spirits, it is considered to be an inspirational colour. The off-black appears softer to the eye than the pure black, you can actually never see a pure black in nature. The off-black can be combined with smoky navy for a sophisticated look. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, 087 282 6902, kadribormeister@gmail.com

Sure to be seen on all the best patios this year, wicker is the trend for the last few years and it's not going anywhere soon. It adds a touch of contrast and coziness to outdoor areas. Another big trend is colour. Add pops of colour like the blue bistro set from MD O’Sheas. Amazing! Boyles of Killorglin also has a great choice of outdoor furniture. There's something for every taste. If your garden furniture is in good nick but just looking a little tired (and you're feeling energetic) why not paint it? Little Greene do a selection of outdoor paints available from Corcoran’s. Cuprinol garden shades also have a great choice of colours available from Boyles of Killorglin and MD O'Shea. The white room in Kenmare also stock Autentico which can even paint plastic if you're so inclined.
