Stylish Children’s Bedroom By designing a stylish bedroom for your child, you can create a comforting and serene environment while also creating an inspiring space that reflects their individuality and potential.

PA G E

Children grow up fast, which makes it tricky to consistently capture their imagination and interests. Making their bedroom a source of wonder and enjoyment, as well as a functional and versatile space is key. We’ve compiled a few ideas for designing a stylish kids’ bedroom to help you create the perfect environment for your children to grow up in.

Colour Schemes It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of designing your child’s bedroom based on their current interests and age, however, before doing so it’s important to keep in mind that children are constantly developing and so are their interests, which means a bedroom that you think would be perfect for them now, won’t be a year down the line!

Focus on colour, think trendy yet interesting and timeless. Neutral colours that will grow with your child should be your first choice, because these colours are far more versatile than others. Consider light greys, creams, light pastel pinks & sage greens.

Tip: Add in little accent pieces that are based on their interests to add a little bit of personalisation to your child’s room, this way, you can easily change it for their next obsession!

Make The Bed The Focal Point As the largest piece of furniture in any bedroom, the bed naturally serves as the focal point. When designing your child’s bedroom, go all out and make the bed a statement piece of furniture and the focal point of the decor.

With so many choices to consider, the sky really is the limit when choosing the style you want to go for! Many pre-made children’s beds are available in unique, fun and functional styles, but, if you want something truly exclusive, why not push the boat out and have a luxury bed custom bed built to your requirements. It’s a great opportunity for you to let your imagination go wild and create something that completes your vision!

Maximise Storage Functionality. That is the key word when designing any room, but ever more important when it comes to your child’s bedroom! Regardless of your child’s age, we can guarantee they will have more toys that you realise. As a result, in order to maximise functionality, you must incorporate storage solutions into the room. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, but built-in storage is frequently the most effective approach to maximise space!

Bespoke Carpentry & Design Designing a luxury bedroom is significantly simpler when you can incorporate custom solutions into your plans. Instead of relying on pre-made furniture, you can have items custom-made to fit the space.

Bespoke tailoring enables you to accentuate the greatest features of the room and make the most of the available space, ensuring that your child’s bedroom is truly unique & personal to them.

Bespoke carpentry and cabinetry are well worth the investment since high-quality workmanship actually endures over time.

Remember, as children become older, they spend more time in their rooms, so it’s crucial to make sure it’s inspiring, functional, and most importantly a space they find comforting.

Living Space

The way you and your family love spending time together should be reflected in your outdoor living areas.

A great outdoor living space should versatile, grounded, and most importantly, comfortable.

Furniture Your outdoor space should be a natural extension to your home, meaning you should consider the theme, concept and aesthetics of your home interior and bring that outside.

Begin your outdoor living space journey by selecting stylish and sturdy garden furniture. You want to go for pieces that aren’t too bulky. Instead, opt for light weight sofas, tables, and chairs instead of one large sectional. Think of it this way; will it look good inside a conservatory or living room? If so, then that’s what you want to pick!

Durability and cleanability should be top priorities when shopping for outdoor furniture, along with versatility. Keep this in mind when buying garden furniture so that it can be used all year round!

PA G E

14

Up The Cosy Factor You want to choose pieces that offer the perfect balance between comfort and elegance. Paying attention to detail with soft furniture, lighting, and accessories, whether in a casual outdoor lounging or dining area, will make the place feel just as appealing as if it was indoors.

Lighting and textiles can completely transform your outdoor space and should never be overlooked, especially if you have a limited amount of space. Use mirrors, frames, and art pieces to create the perfect aesthetic. Lighting is also key to creating your desired atmosphere, whether you want a zen feel or an outdoor bar feel, solar lights, string lights, lanterns and neon sign lights all create different moods for your outdoor space.

Outdoor rugs, fake grass and inexpensive DIY decking tiles can transform the cold stone floors. Not only will focusing on the flooring make a significant difference to the look of your outdoor space, but they are also made to withstand harsh weather and of course provide a soft place for bare feet to rest elevating the much sought-after cosy vibes.

Tip: Choose pieces that can be left out all year and require minimal effort for maximum impact.

Fire Up An Outdoor Kitchen An outdoor kitchen is the ultimate nod to entertainment in your outside space. There are numerous outdoor kitchen styles to choose from, including modern contemporary designs, modern farmhouse, and Spanish styles. Try to consider what you will be using your outdoor space for and cater to that, whether that be posting a dinner party, BBQ for the family or simply a relaxing dinner with a loved one.

Property Market

The average time to get through the conveyancing process of a property sale is now 150 days. If you’re thinking of selling a property and want everything wrapped up this year, experts have advised to do so in the next few weeks to have a chance of moving by Christmas.

House Prices Are On The Rise The price of property coming to the market has also hit a fifth consecutive record of £368,614 on average. Even with five consecutive interest rate increases and rising living costs, buyer demand for each available property is more than double (+113%) the pre-pandemic five-year May average.

Buyers are currently being presented with plenty of new options, with the number of properties entering the market increasing by 7% over the same period last year.

The Time To Move Is Now Sellers need to come to market in the next few weeks to maximise their chance of a move by Christmas.

Because of the conveyancing backlog, those who want to move this year but have yet to act will have to do so in the coming weeks. After agreeing to a sale, it currently takes 150 days on average to complete a purchase, which is 50 days longer than this time last year.

This means that those hoping to close a deal in time to spend next Christmas in a new home should come to market in the next few weeks to give themselves the best chance of finding a buyer and completing the transaction before the end of the year. More than 500,000 homes are currently under contract, a massive figure that is 44% higher than this time last year and 39% higher than the pre-pandemic five-year average.

“Existing homeowners looking to buy again will still need to put themselves in the best possible position to secure their next home in this strong market by making sure they find a buyer for their current property before looking for their next home. This is all the more important for those hoping to complete the process as quickly as possible and enjoy Christmas in a new home this year. Though December may feel far away, the data shows the current conveyancing log-jam means it is taking an average of 50 days longer to complete a purchase after agreeing a sale than it did in 2019. It’s therefore important to act now and get in touch with a local estate agent to give yourself the best possible chance of being in your new home for Christmas.”

4 Bathroom Colour

TRENDS FOR 2022

Bathrooms can be a soothing haven where you can unwind, an invigorating environment that reflects your personality, or a bright, clean space where you can start and end your day. Whichever mood you like, the colours you choose are important to attaining your desired effect.

This year’s most popular bathroom colours include soft, relaxing tones as well as dramatic, unexpected shades.

Blues Whether it is used as an accent or the primary colour, blue soothes and relaxes, making it the perfect colour for a bathroom. Its popularity has only grown as people seek to create quiet, wellness-inducing environments. To completely embrace this bathroom colour trend, use a delicate soft tones of the hue, suggestive of the sky on the walls to brighten up the space. Alternatively, if you’re feeling brave try a deep ocean blue to transport you to a new level of relaxation.

Earthy Tones Bathroom colour trends are no exception to the warming trend in paint colour preferences. The usual greys and whites are being replaced by cosier, earthier tones like beige, cream, and taupe. An earthy colour scheme should be cohesive and stylish across all surfaces, from wall paint and tiling to towels and bath mats. To achieve a warm, cosy grounded look, use these naturalistic tones with natural stone flooring or counter tops and rich wood accents.

Black & Charcoal Bold, powerful colours like black and charcoal grey are becoming increasingly popular shades used in bathrooms. When executed well, this colour trend can produce a stylish, modern ambience creating a cosy and intimate space.

Choose a mix of jet-black and dazzling white for a timeless look. Alternatively, a softer shade that veers toward dark grey can be used to soften the contrast. Add in gold, brass or copper accents to further accentuate the intense hues to create a trendy and stylish finish.

Soothing Greens Green is a popular hue in the home right now, but it’s especially effective in bathrooms, where it creates a relaxing, rejuvenating atmosphere. Green is a colour that has long been associated with renewal, balance, refreshment, and peace.

Your olives, mosses, and eucalyptus, which come straight from nature, serve to develop an outdoor connection and a peaceful ambience, which has a calming effect and can reduce stress, making it the ideal choice for a bathroom.

FRONT DOOR

Colour Trends Did you know that a carefully selected front door colour can improve the kerb appeal of your property, have a tremendous effect on your mood and wellbeing and even add value to your home?

Tranquil Blues Bright Skies was named the colour of the year 2022 by Dulux, an airy, light blue that’s described as being;

“Fresh open and invigorating, delivering a flavour of the natural world bringing a breath of fresh air to space, integrating nature into daily life, transforming spaces into a restorative escape from everyday stress.”

Tranquil blues have a wonderful transforming quality. The hue is frequently connected with comfort, hope, inspiration, and power making them ideal for your entrance.

Greens It’s no surprise that green has become increasingly popular because of its association with nature and its ability to calm and revitalise. Green is an incredibly versatile colour that blends well with surrounding nature and existing exterior elements on both modern and period houses.

“We’ve returned to nature, it’s instinctive,” “The great outdoors has its own palette, if you take from that palette, pick out one beautiful shade of smoky green you see in the foliage or a sage bush and put it onto your front door, it looks gorgeous. Sky blues and leafy greens are this wonderful way that we can visually reconnect with nature, which is so good for us.”

Marianne Sillingford, Creative Director at Dulux

Soft Pinks Succulent pinks and earthy tones are becoming increasingly trendy as we yearn for an escape. It is a wonderfully versatile colour that comes in a variety of shades to give your front door a fresh and distinctive look.

Milk Thistle is a shade that stands out for us. It is a wonderfully soft warm shade that brings a sense of comfort to the home. The pretty pink hue paired with brass door furniture work incredibly well together to create an unforgettable first impression.
