Christmas decorations – a guide to stress-free decorating

2014-11-30T13:34:07+00:00

In order to understand how to choose the right Christmas decorations for your own home, we need to look back in time a little – to the Victorians. They took their inspiration from nature – their gardens or nearby woods. They used fir trees and collected greenery, holly, pinecones and berries.  They covered their windowsills and mantelpieces with it, hung it over their artwork, and created wreaths and garlands.  (“Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly” as the carol goes!) [...]

Every home benefits from a declutter once in a while

2013-11-08T13:33:43+00:00

Declutter a complete room once in a while. You know that feeling you get when you've sorted your sock drawer? It's like that only ten times more intense! These photographs show various small projects that benefited from our decluttering services.  It's not just the surface clutter that was removed, all cupboards and drawers were emptied and re-organised too.  That's the trick - just trying to tidy the surfaces causes more problems if the drawers and cupboards are already full. Here are [...]

Dining rooms – do we need them?

2013-10-14T10:48:53+00:00

Dining rooms - are they necessary when selling your home? In a recent article in House to Home, they claim that six out of 10 homeowners prefer to entertain guests in the kitchen, and almost 60% of families don't use their dining room as they all eat at seperate times. (http://www.housetohome.co.uk/articles/news/most-families-no-longer-eat-together_532179.html) However, when you're selling a home, you're selling a lifestyle. Potential buyers will see your dining room and imagine all the social events they can host there - even [...]

Create a hotel style bathroom when selling your home

2013-09-25T19:59:29+00:00

When you're selling your home, the bathroom needs to be pristine. Spotlessly clean and tidy. Stylish. Beautifully accessorised. No toothpaste, no children's toys or potties, no wet towels! Try to add a plant, a few expensive, matching toiletries, fluffy new towels (just put them out for viewings), and put the lights on for photographs. Imagine it's a beautiful hotel bathroom! If you were a visitor to your home, would you want to walk around with bare feet? When selling your [...]

How to position the bed correctly

2013-09-25T17:09:39+00:00

When considering how to position the bed in a room when you are preparing your home for sale, always consider the photographs. Try not to position the side of a bed against a wall, especially if it's a double bed. The extra floor space doesn't make the room look larger, as most people imagine. The photographs are much more appealing if the bed is a focal point in the room, in the centre. I often find beds in strange places! [...]

Home makeover tip. Clutter

2013-09-24T19:01:06+00:00

CLUTTER When planning any type of home makeover, take a good, honest look around and see how much clutter you really have to deal with.  Now is the time to tackle it, before you start the makeover.  You can't plan effective storage if you don't know exactly what you need to store, so remove everything that shouldn't be in the room. • De-clutter thoroughly before a makeover - every cupboard, every drawer • Analyse everything you have left, and provide [...]
