Homes

I’m as susceptible to trend as the next person and despite not having watched Bridgerton (is this something I should be admitting?) I’m nonetheless enjoying the upsurge in all things refined, sophisticated and just a little flamboyant.

Colour is without doubt one of the most powerful design tools. At an architectural level, it can define and link spaces, accentuating interesting details in your home. It can fool the eye and mind, making areas appear more open and airy, or cosy and intimate.

When it comes to creating a contemporary garden, forget about flowing, sweeping borders and well stocked highly colourful flower beds. Instead, work on the principle of ‘less is more’ and use a ruler and set square when drawing your plan out on paper. Being creative with stylish colour schemes in shades of grey, dark blue or even black, hard landscaping, lighting and planting you create an outside room to be proud of whilst adding value to your property.
