I don’t think my ‘To Do’ list for my home has ever been so long! Plans for the loft conversion are gathering pace, with all kinds of decisions to be made, so I’m already stressing about what fittings to order for the new bathroom and wondering what look to go for in the bedroom. At times like this, being the editor of a homes magazine is a mixed blessing: on one hand, I spend all day looking at brilliantly inspirational homes; on the other, I see so many great ideas in them, it can induce decision paralysis when making choices for my own. When I really don’t know where to start, I build a Pinterest board using pictures from idealhome.co.uk . Check it out – it’s our…

On the outside Christine’s thatched workers’ cottage was built in 1760 in north Germany, close to the Baltic sea. Denmark isn’t far away, and the cottage’s smart windows and doors are typically Danish in their design. Central living space The cottage is essentially one large room inside, split into living, dining and kitchen areas. ‘The lack of walls means light floods through and makes it seem larger, but my palette of natural whites and greys makes it airy, too,’ says Christine. BUY THE KEY PIECES For a similar stove, try a selection, Stove Hunters. For a similar mirror, try the Fiam Ritratto, £620, Harrogate Interiors “When I moved here, I was craving time for myself. I love nature and the silence of the countryside, and I think my home reflects…

Neutral ground Coral blush works beautifully with grainy oak and a blend of other pale neutrals – stone, sand, light greys – with simple black and white accents for definition and elegance Stylist’s note “ An earthy palette like this lends itself to lots of natural texture, so accessorise with linens, weaves, velvets and rough, artisan ceramics ”NICKY PHILLIPS , DECORATING EDITOR Stylist’s note “We’ve used the colour in a modern, mid-century look with hints of global and industrial style, but it works beautifully with rustic and shabby-chic schemes, too ”NICKY PHILLIPS , DECORATING EDITOR Layered colour Hints of darker terracotta and brick-red tones will add depth to coral blush and cool neutrals for a really cosy effect in a…

Start with the statement pieces ‘Apart from the kitchen, the interior was a Sixties original,’ says John. With no architectural details to work with, he decided to create his own features: ‘Start with a wall, fabric or piece of furniture, and use that as a statement,’ he says. In the living room, he used glass walls to let light flow into dark recesses and created a cosy seating area around an inset fireplace.

STYLIST’S TIP “Choose your accent colours carefully – just one or two are enough to give an otherwise neutral palette a lift ”MICHELA COLLING, STYLE EDITOR MY GO-TO STORES… • CLOUDBERRY LIVING ‘It’s my new top find – our Skelton kettle is from there.’ • IKEA ‘You can’t beat it for great basics.’ • JOHN LEWIS ‘I love the quality of its craftsmanship.’ • SKANDIUM ‘I often visit it for inspiration, as I like the simplicity of Scandi design.’…

“ This is such a different look for me, I’d never have considered it in the past! ” THE PROPERTY A four-bedroom turn-of-the-century mid-terraced house in Stone, Staffordshire, bought in 2014. Decades of living in army married quarters taught Karla Lucas a lot: ‘It gave me time to suss out exactly what did and didn’t work for us as a family,’ she says, ‘so when we finally moved into our own home, I knew that open-plan spaces, a sociable kitchen and lovely period features were on our wish list.’ She found the right property in Stone, Staffordshire, where she and Andy got stuck in. They started by knocking through the living and dining rooms and redesigning the kitchen, which proved to be a challenge. ‘It’s a long,…

“ Major changes helped to create the perfect look ” “ Our kids love the easy access to the garden and we love the layout which lends itself both to family life and entertaining ” Welcome to my home THE PROPERTY A detached three-bedroom Sixties bungalow in Lucan village, County Dublin. THE VALUE Bought for £275,000 in 2013; now worth £515,000. THE COST Building and refurbishment cost £190,000. When Avril Rankin and Sean Lacey realised their family had outgrown their two-bed home in County Dublin, they went hunting locally for a bigger place. What they found was a dated Sixties bungalow that had the potential to become their perfect home. ‘We wanted to turn it into a bright, energy-efficient space, which could…

1 THEY’RE NOT JUST FOR THE GROUND FLOOR ‘As long as building regulations are met, it’s possible to fit glazed doors in any upstairs room to increase light and views. Expect to pay around £2,000 to £3,000 for a four-leaf door system.’ 2 LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGNS ARE A MUST ‘For Helen and Tom’s house, we used a pivoting/sliding glazing system from SunSeeker (01582 492730; sunseekerdoors.co.uk), so that they were light enough to be installed without hiring a crane.’ 3 CONSIDER YOUR CHOICE OF MATERIALS ‘Aluminium is generally seen as a lightweight, thermally efficient material that won’t need repainting, but bifold doors are also available in uPVC, timber and composite options.’ 4 YOU’LL NEED EXPERT STRUCTURAL ADVICE ‘Doors of this type aren’t structural – when you remove a section of wall, a…

Q Why is voice control the next big thing? Speaking is the most natural way for us to communicate, and now that computers can accurately understand what we’re saying, it’s highly likely that voice will replace the keyboard and touchpad as the next main computer interface. Q What can I talk to? Many of us already talk to a smartphone ‘assistant’ like Siri when we’re setting a timer or searching Google. Some smart TVs and streamers also accept voice commands – for example, you can say the name of an actor to view a list of shows they’ve starred in. Ford and Volvo have voice recognition in their cars, too, so you can control the sat nav, radio and other features, Knight Rider style. However, the most revolutionary product we’ve…

During winter, it’s more important than ever that our homes keep us warm. Yet it’s typically a time when wholesale energy costs soar and suppliers remove their cheapest deals, potentially leaving customers facing price rises. What’s more, many homes in the UK are on expensive standard tariffs, which offer no protection against price increases. With more than 40 energy suppliers now on the market, there’s never been a better time to check your energy bills. This month, energy-comparison site energyhelpline.com has teamed up with Ideal Home to compare the prices of all UK suppliers, so you can be sure to find the best deal. Running a comparison through the easy-to-use website is free, takes just a few minutes and could save you hundreds of pounds on your bills. Visit energyhelpline.com…

“ The garden still needs work, but this place is everything I hoped it would be; a haven for relaxing and socialising ” THE PROPERTY A Sixties detached cottage, extended to a four-bedroom house, on the outskirts of Glasgow. VALUE Bought for £383,333 in 2004; now worth £950,000. Moving from a chic apartment in Glasgow’s West End to an unmodernised Sixties Swiss-style chalet cottage was a bit of a shock for John Amabile. ‘It seemed like an insane move at the time, but I loved its garden, location and potential, and knew that if I didn’t do it, then I’d be in the West End for the rest of my days and never have a proper garden,’ he says. ‘I set myself a two-year plan to do…

1 HEIGHT MATTERS Make clever use of height, not just floor space. Consider making your ceilings as high as possible, raising them up to the roof line so you can have tall windows fitted to bring in more daylight. 2 LIGHT FROM ABOVE A roof light lets in 40% more daylight than a vertical window. Carefully placed, these can also help to create zones in an open-plan space, while letting in as much light as possible. 3 ALL ABOUT STORAGE Built-in cupboards offer the most flexibility. Some floor space will be lost, but the gains are worth it. Think hallways, play areas, bathrooms – not just wardrobes in bedrooms. Plan storage to suit your needs; the easier it is to store your things, the more likely you are to keep…

Back in 2011, I wandered past this house when I was out on a walk and fell in love with it straightaway. It’s important to respect the history of your home. When the cottage was built in 1760, Denmark owned this region of Germany and it shows in the architecture. The windows and doors are typically Danish, so I restored them with original designs and kept the thatched roof to protect the house’s authenticity. Don’t let a limited budget hold you back. I wanted to erase all signs of the Eighties from the décor and my touch point was traditional Scandinavian country style. Sourcing vintage pieces is a great way to get the look for less. Size isn’t everything! The floor space of my cottage is all on one level…

Unable to find stylish stationery and desk accessories for her home office, Kristina persuaded her partner Paul to remortgage their home so she could set up a business designing her own. Now 15 years on, her brand Kikki.K has 80 stores worldwide and a successful website. She lives in Falkenberg, Sweden, with Paul and children Axel, eight, and Tiffany, five. Home is more than a building. We made the decision to move back to Sweden because I want my kids to have a similar upbringing to me. I lived in Sweden until I was 22, when I fell in love with Paul, who’s Australian. We met at a ski resort in Austria and I followed him to Melbourne. We now live in the small town where I grew up, just…

“I would describe my style as eclectic with a Scandi slant, and a bit utilitarian ” THE PROPERTY A four-bedroom new build in Nanpantan, Leicestershire. VALUE Bought for £159,500 in 2013, now worth around £600,000. Rhiannon and Joel Payne weren’t expecting to build a house. Their initial idea was to renovate and sell, hopefully making a small profit. ‘I’d just inherited a bit of money and a small property-development project seemed like a good idea,’ says Rhiannon. With a total spend of £200,000, the couple won a bid for a Fifties bungalow. ‘I was a bit blinkered by the ugliness of the house itself, but Joel saw the lovely views and the big oak tree in the back garden and we started to imagine a very…

 If space allows, a separate shower enclosure is a real luxury, and the latest frameless models will bring a luxe-hotel feel to your bathroom. “Not sure where to start? Talk to a local bathroom retailer to ensure that you get the best enclosure for your space ”BARRY HOYNE, PRODUCT MANAGER, MERLYN Q Which shape is best? This is usually determined by the shower’s location. The main options are square and rectangular cubicles, which will fit anywhere. D-shaped enclosures can be installed centrally against a single wall, while quadrants and off-set quadrants sit in the corner, so are great for saving space. If your shower is recessed, you’ll only need to buy one individual door panel. Q How do I choose a door? A pivot or bifold door is best for…

 Wood-look flooring is available in different forms, including vinyl, ceramic, porcelain and linoleum. What’s more, recent advances in photographic and texturing technology mean that it’s now a credible and stylish alternative to the real thing. “Wood-effect flooring is almost identical to its natural counterpart. It’s easy to keep it looking beautiful, too ”DAVID BIGLAND, MANAGING DIRECTOR, MODULEO UK AND EIRE Q What are the main benefits? Wood-look flooring is great if you want to achieve the beauty of natural wood without the costly maintenance. In high-traffic areas such as kitchens, where floors are subjected to water, steam and spills, its excellent stain resistance is a key benefit. There’s also no need to wax or oil the flooring, and it’s less likely to fade or discolour in time. Many wood-look floors…
