Innholdsfortegnelse for November 2021 i Style At Home

I’m a big fan of the change in seasons. While I’m hard pressed to pick my favourite – each one pulls at my heart strings in a different way – I do love the opportunity autumn offers to spend more time indoors. It’s an invitation to restyle shelves, change up my gallery wall, and tinker with furniture positioning! The darker evenings mean my fireplace is lined with flickering candles, and I’ve always got a blanket (or two!) to hand for a cosy Netflix binge. This November marks a year since we’ve been in our home. Making it our own is a slow process, and the decorating wish list is still long. But while I may get a tad frustrated that we haven’t achieved more in the last 12 months, I…

STYLE LIKE PALOMA Based on the style of her London townhouse, singer songwriter Paloma Faith’s debut homeware range is all about affordable maximalism. Think opulent luxe meets retro bohemia for bedding, wallpaper, cushions and fabric that are made for print clashing. Glam chinoiserie meets a tiger or two, plush fringing and a little leopard print. Cushions from £21; wallpapers, £35 a roll. Cool kids on the block The designers at Habitat have created three captivating stories in their first collection for little ones, balancing fun with functionality. Into The Wild’s animal kingdom features gorgeously illustrated characters, the daydreamy Homespun world includes soft tones, rainbows and a cute canopy, while modern Scandi Pop will blend into a grown-up, open-plan space. WE LOVE! Unless you’ve been on an Instagram break for the…

IDEA TO STEAL ‘Get creative by applying wall stickers to the ceiling too’ My husband Luke already owned the house when I moved in,’ says Naomi. ‘He bought it in 2010 as he was keen to get on the property ladder, and then rented it out for a couple of years. As he is a plumber he’d already updated the bathroom and replaced the carpet and lino in the kitchen and bathroom. We moved in two years later in 2012, after I had finished university. We had no spare money, but fortunately some mid-century pieces of furniture had been left behind by the previous owners that I was able to upcycle. Tidying up The house was built in the 1960s and was very dated. Despite some nice original features, such…

ABOUT ME I’m Vikki Tristram, 38, a property manager, and I live here with my boyfriend, Jon Goodwin, 31, an engineering supplier, and his son, Will, eight, who visits at weekends. I Instagram my rental journey over at @vikkis_vintage_life. OUR HOME We live in a two-bed Victorian terrace in Derby which I have been renting since March 2014. WHEN I MOVED IN It was in a good state, but had a lot of bold wallpaper and chipped magnolia paint. AND NOW I’ve chosen a simple colour palette and warm textures to create a home that is relaxing but with a sophisticated edge. STYLE TIP Being a considerate but savvy decorator means that I’ve kept the landlord happy while making this rental feel like home.…

Vikki has put her own stamp on a rental home without the need for costly refurbishments. Using a neutral palette as her starting point has given the space a sense of flow, so each room leads easily into the next with no harsh colour changes. Adding visual interest to individual rooms was achieved in a variety of ways, from chic painted panelling in the dining room and a feature splashback in the kitchen, to vinyl stickers and bold wall art in upstairs bedrooms.…

1 Buy a piece of MDF, cut to the measurements of your bed. 2 Use a spray adhesive to attach a layer of mattress padding to the wood. Flip it over and trim to size. 3 Cover the board and padding with a layer of batting fabric and secure in place. 4 Decide where you want your buttons to go and drill holes according to your design. 5 Cover with a final layer of fabric using an electric stapler. Attach pretty fabric-covered buttons to the headboard holes using a long upholstery needle and thread.…

the STYLE RULES EMBRACE CITY STYLE Get the look of a loft apartment with an open-plan kitchen featuring an exposed brick wall. Or use faux-effect wallpaper to cheat the look. MIX AND MATCH METALS Swap wall cabinets for open shelving in chunky stainless steel and install chrome fixings like taps and radiators. Contrast this with factory-style copper pendants overhanging a kitchen island and old-school bar stools. CREATE AGED-EFFECT FLOORING Go simple with dark hardwood or wood-effect laminate. Alternatively, why not add interest with vintage-style patterned floor tiles? DON’T FORGET TO ADD COLOUR Complement metallic hues with blocks of grubby green and blue on walls or cabinetry. Minimal pops of fuchsia and other brights on accessories and wall art will make the scheme feel more light-hearted. THINK COOL AND…

Transform a wooden crate into a rustic side table. Turn it on its side and line the inside with hessian. Add wording with stencils and spray paint, and attach castor wheels. Use to stash Bonfire Night essentials, such as matches and blankets.…

ABOUT ME I’m Vanessa Dodds. I’m an NHS midwife and I live with my daughter Ariella, who’s just turned three, in a two-bedroom terraced house in Dagenham, east London. I moved here in 2011. MY CHALLENGE I’d not been able to redecorate my living room for some years, so it was more than ready for a refresh. It felt drab, tired and disorganised, as there was no colour and no proper storage, nor anywhere to show nice bits and pieces. I really didn’t know how to go about redesigning the room myself. MY WISHLIST I wanted a calming, easy-to-maintain space with colour and a clean, fresh feel. Storage for toys was an absolute must, and I liked the idea of display shelves and a small table for mealtimes with my…

Measure the space carefully and draw a detailed diagram before starting to work out how many boards you might need. Find the sort of boards you want, such as potter’s boards or scaffolding, and consider the width and depth if you don’t want the worksurface to be too deep. Collectors’ fairs, car-boot sales, builders’ merchants and eBay are all good places to start. Create a plywood base to stick the boards onto and then attach the whole thing, rather than sticking the boards on one by one. If the boards aren’t an exact fit, make sure the one at the front is the full width, and cut the one at the back where it won’t show. Apply a stain over the boards once they’re in position. Sabrina used a hard…

We bought the house from a lovely couple who had lived here for 30 years,’ says Lucy. ‘Every room was packed with a lifetime of stuff and children’s toys, but we were charmed by its proportions, and especially those of the main bathroom. First impression With numerous photos lining the walls, bath toys in one corner and a changing table hiding a gorgeous Victorian-style radiator, the bathroom needed work. Despite the clutter, I could see the room’s potential. The window is huge, so the room is very bright. I knew that if we changed the layout, we’d give the room much more breathing space and turn it from a hectic family bathroom into a light, airy haven. Getting to work We gutted the room and considered how to make the…

ABOUT ME I’m Naomi Weetman, 31, a stay-at-home mum. I live here with my husband Luke, 32, a plumber, our son Otis, three, and baby daughter Nevaeh. We also have a cat Salem and dog Brynn. MY HOME A semi-detached 1960s three-bedroom house in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, which we bought in 2010. WHEN I MOVED IN I immediately started putting paint and colour on the walls, because everywhere was standard rental magnolia or white. AND NOW It’s an eclectic, expressive and colourful home that’s totally unique – people often describe it as ‘a lot of fun’. STYLE TIP There is more than one way to do something, so do your research and don’t rush into upcycling projects.…

Always ask the homeowner’s permission before you start, and show example images or share photos of previous projects you’ve done. Use stickers or vinyl wrap to cover ugly worktops or unsightly tiles, which are easily removable, as is self-adhesive wallpaper. Changing handles or removing doors are easy updates, but make sure you can re-attach them. Command strips are a renter’s friend as they leave no damage on walls, or simply lean pictures against a wall for a modern display. Cheap cotton rugs are useful for covering up ugly carpets, and throws and cushions can personalise a space. Use tester pots to create colour blocks or stripes that are easy to paint over if you move.…

On paper, we didn’t think this flat had much going for it,’ says Lu. ‘It had been neglected by tenants, the layout made no sense, and the hall was dark and gloomy. But as soon as I walked into the sitting room and saw the high ceilings and period features, I wanted to take down the For Sale sign immediately! We’d been living across the river in a modern, one-bedroom flat in north London. It was our first move as a couple and we were looking forward to getting a bigger place that we could work on together. We knew that this was the project we’d been after. Bedroom hideaway We moved in while work was being carried out, so kitting out the main bedroom and creating an en-suite bathroom…

LITTLE GREENE Almost all the paint in the house is from Little Greene. With a wide selection to choose from, Lu found the perfect blue, Basalt, for her bathroom.…

STYLE AT HOME SAYS… ‘Muted blues and greens complement warm copper accents beautifully, as well as adding a welcome splash of colour to what can otherwise be a stark scheme.’ STYLE EDITOR, Michela Colling ‘Red can be a tricky colour to get right on walls. However, earthy shades include brown undertones, making them the perfect pairing for wood finishes.’ SENIOR FEATURES EDITOR, Stephanie Durrant ‘Rugged brick walls and worn wood floors are balanced by the structural elements of modular furniture and organic shapes of luscious sprouting leaves.’ DECORATING EDITOR, Nicky Phillips…

1 Paint walls in warm neutrals Greys or whites can sometimes feel a little cold, but choosing milky, truffle-pink shades will make any space beautifully warm and soft. Choose furniture in a similarly neutral plush velvet to add a touch of restful decadence. 2 TILE THE WALL IN A BATHROOM Create a feature wall in your bathroom by tiling from floor to ceiling with geometric tiles. Or go subtle and just tile a splashback or shower enclosure. 3 Give stair risers a bold new look If your staircase is the first thing you see when you walk in the front door, update it with statement floor tiles. Alternatively, use a patterned wallpaper and paste this to each riser instead. 4 PAIR PINK AND GREEN IN A BEDROOM A modern colour…

ABOUT ME I’m Lucy Searle and I live here with my husband David and our children Lola, 19, and Edie, 14, in a three-bedroom terraced house in north London. This is now the ninth bathroom I’ve renovated! MY CHALLENGE Ripping up the carpet and rejigging the layout, all the while sourcing attractive, low-cost items as we were doing up the rest of the house at the same time. MY WISH LIST I wanted to achieve a vintage-style boutique look on a budget. A stylish roll-top bath and plenty of storage that didn’t feel too fitted were also must-haves.…

The right layout can make or break a bathroom. Draw up a scale plan or use an online planner, and don’t forget to ask your plumber or bathroom company to check your design is suitable for the space. Where do I begin? Start by thinking about who will be using the bathroom, as this may have a large bearing on the layout and scheme you finally choose. Is it to be an en-suite shower room for two? Or a family bathroom that will require a bath and plenty of storage for essentials and toys? Can I move the loo? It’s cheaper and easier to keep the loo close to the soil stack (the vertical pipe that takes waste from the loo to the main drain). It is possible to divert…

YOU WILL NEED Pallet wood Jigsaw Sander Paint or clear varnish Drill Twine Wall hook or large nail 1 Cut the wood into five equal lengths using the jigsaw. 2 Using the sander, give the wood a light sanding to remove any rough edges. Apply a couple of coats of paint if you want to change the colour, or clear varnish if you prefer the wood look. 3 When the paint is dry, drill holes either end, 5cm from the edge of each piece. Ensure that the holes in the planks line up. 4 Thread the twine through the holes, tying big knots to evenly space out the shelves. 5 Join the two loose pieces of twine at the top and hang on the wall using a hook or large…

Before I moved here I was living in a two-bed house around the corner. Though it was a lot smaller than this, it was lovely, but sadly the landlord decided to sell so I had to move,’ says Vikki. ‘I was lucky as this place popped up on the market and I fell in love straight away. All the period features appealed to me: the wooden floors, the hallway tiles, the big bathroom with roll-top bath and the chrome fireplace, and though the kitchen is quite small, the rest of the house has lovely big rooms so it was a real find. In general I don’t think it’s so easy to find a rental property of this quality, and you might have to be willing to compromise, so I was…

ABOUT ME I’m Lu Fitoussi-Findlay, 38, and I run interior design company LUFF Studio. I live here with my husband Raphael, 35, a property advisor, and our two-year-old daughter Sylvie. MY HOME A three-bedroom, split-level flat in a Victorian conversion in Blackheath, south-east London. We moved here in 2017. WHEN WE MOVED IN It had been rented out, so it was in a state and the basement smelt of damp. AND NOW We moved windows and doors to create a layout that flows and a home that is full of light. I’ve decorated with gorgeous colours and glam pieces – it now feels fabulous! STYLE TIP Don’t plan to get everything done at once; it’s best to live in your home first and work out what’s really missing.…

Dove grey walls and light-washed flooring is the perfect base on which to layer up polished and luxe finishes. The combination of subtle curves with velvet finishes for the sofa, chair and dining seats brings a feminine opulence with a nod to Deco decadence. Flashes of polished and antiqued brass offer a shortcut to a chic look, while dark wood furniture creates a rich yet warm contrast.…

Hanging headboard Create a comfy DIY headboard by hanging large seat cushions with ties from a curtain pole. Or make your own by sewing rectangles of fabric right sides facing, sandwiching three pairs of tabs along one edge. Turn right sides out, stuff lightly and sew up the gap. Then simply switch the cushions when you fancy a change. Frame the bed Surround an upholstered bedhead with a deep wooden frame to create a surface you can use to display ceramics and framed prints. Make your own headboard by folding and securing fabric neatly around a piece of thick foam cut to size. Ensure the frame is a snug fit and paint to coordinate with walls for a neat finish. Secret storage Securely attach picture ledges to the wall, then…

I’d decorated the living room when I moved here about 10 years ago, but since then I just haven’t been able to update it. I’m a midwife in the NHS and my daughter, Ariella, is just three, so working through the pandemic in the past year has been hectic and stressful. My living room was looking shabby, with plain grey walls, an old carpet and a grey sofa. There was nowhere for books, lamps or accessories, and Ariella’s toys were just stacked in one corner. Getting started I stumbled on Design Havens For Heroes (DH4H) by chance on Instagram, @designhavensforheroes. It’s an amazing charity made up of interior designers, tradespeople and brands. They donate time, products and skills to transform rooms in the homes of NHS workers, giving frontline staff…

In our view, the existing kitchen that we inherited with the cottage was in the wrong place. A cooker was jammed in one corner, and the units were spread out along the back wall, which made it feel like a long thin corridor. It wasn’t a relaxing space to be in, and there was nowhere to sit and chat. At the other end of the house was a double-width room with two windows and doors out onto the garden. And it made much more sense to have the kitchen in there. First moves We sold the existing, modern-look units on eBay and then Amberth made and fitted our new kitchen. The company is a husband and wife team that we had used before. We had to be pretty sure of…

Wood-look flooring brings warmth and character to any room, and is available in ceramic, porcelain, vinyl and linoleum. Recent improvements in photographic and texturing technology are boosting authenticity, making wood-look flooring a really credible and stylish alternative to the real thing. What are the benefits? Kitchens are high-traffic areas and kitchen floors come into contact with water, steam and food spillages. Wood-look flooring is all about achieving the beauty of natural wood but without any maintenance issues. Excellent stain resistance is a key benefit, there’s no need to regularly treat with wax or oil, and it’s less likely to fade or discolour over time. Many wood-look floors also come with slip-resistant finishes and can be used with underfloor heating. Porcelain or ceramic? Although they often look the same, and both…

To best protect beautiful bathroom wood flooring, avoid softwoods sensitive to humidity and opt for the safer choices of oak, teak or ash. Make sure that the floor and sub-floor are perfectly levelled to avoid water pooling in lower areas. Treat floors with water-resistant yacht varnish. Apply in the same direction as the grain. Ensure regular ventilation of the bathroom, as mould and mildew love organic wood, so keep windows open after a steamy bath. Lay a strategically-placed rug in high-splash areas, such as by the washbasin and bath tub.…
