Inspired Spring Décor
Monday, February 12, 2018
Throw off the winter blues with some inspiration for interior design this spring. 2018 is here and the forecast for home décor is that it’s going to be bolder than ever, with vivid jewel tones, rich velvety textures and brass mixed with rustic, earthy accents. Whatever you choose, stick with what you love, whether it’s “in” or “out”. But here are some top 2018 trends to try if you are looking to refresh or revamp your home. From wall colours to flowers, exotic, jungle-inspired decor and this year’s take on the Scandi trend, a little inspiration can go a long way.

January is traditionally a time for “out with the old, in with the new” with sweeping resolutions for a fresh start. Thankfully we’ve been somewhat more protective of our built environment over the years and retained much of the heritage and architectural gems displayed in our old towns. But there’s also a definite need for new build. The UK is desperately short of housing, and in November’s Budget Chancellor Philip Hammond announced plans to build five new garden towns as part of the government’s ambitious plans to significantly boost house-building in the UK.

Thursday, January 11, 2018
There’s a definite trend towards homes with an “old” exterior yet which are bang up to date inside the front door. From thatched cottages to barn conversions, if you buy a period building, you’re not just buying a new home, but a piece of national heritage.

If you’re thinking of selling or letting your home, here’s some advice on how to secure a January sale or let. The single most important thing you can do to get ahead is to talk to your estate agent before Christmas so that your property is marketed before the traditional flurry of activity begins in January. There’s a long list of motivated buyers and tenants looking over the festive period, eager to move in the New Year. Last year on Christmas Day, Rightmove received over 1.5m* visits to their site and almost 2.5m* visits on New Year’s Day, so now’s the time to get ready for a January sale or let. This quick and simple summary shows you how to make the process less stressful.
