FOREWORD Welcome to our ‘luxury’ title. Between these pages you’ll find a host of inspiration for every aspect of your life, from enticing properties to suit a wide range of tastes and stunning interior ideas through to gorgeous jewellery and watches that will stand the test of time to pass down to the next generation – after you’ve fully enjoyed them for yourself that is!!

World-renowned designer, Kelly Hoppen, introduces us to what is trending in the world of interior design for 2016. With an impressive client portfolio to include the likes of the Beckham’s, her guidance is always most welcome. Those looking for the perfect rug to add colour or a talking point to a room will love our feature on rug designer Esti Barnes who has collaborated with photographer Pam Weinstock to create two very special rugs that would look super in any home. If you’re embarking on your own makeover, in addition to Kelly Hoppen’s trend advice i.d Interiors also highlight for us the 5 key principles of quality interior design.

The team and I have had so much fun putting this issue together – although I think most of our salary has been spent in the process! It’s not just you our readers that are inspired! Many of you have very kindly taken the time to write to me following the last issue to say that you loved the fact that there were luxury brands that sit outside the property and interiors bracket that are now filtered through this magazine, and I couldn’t agree more, after all, ‘luxury’ touches and inspires so many aspects of our lives.

We do enjoy receiving your feedback and in particular your positive comments regarding goods and services you’ve used and can endorse from within the magazine; please do keep them coming.

So, despite the chill, sit back, pour yourself a glass of something lovely and enjoy reading this issue…

Fope at Anja Potze A TALE OF BEAUTY The new chapter There is a new atmosphere in Fope’s journey through the essence of Italian culture and style.

The tale takes place inside a contemporary dwelling in Vicenza, where Italian actress / model Anna Valle lets her genuine beauty shine again along the gold and diamonds of the brand’s fine jewellery. It is a true celebration of the brand’s roots and innovative soul, and the images recall a range of emotions as wide as the perfumes of flower gardens at springtime.

Fope is an Italian jewellery brand which started out as a traditional goldsmithing workshop in 1929. Every jewel is crafted in-house with love and passion under the guidance of the founding family and it features the highest quality applied to elegant, signature designs.

The brand’s collections have evolved through the decades, ranging from the thin and easy to wear Lovely Daisy (a 2015 novelty) to the patented flexible bracelets of the Flex’it lines to the luxurious MiaLuce collection: all entirely made of 18 carat gold and intrinsically timeless.

Lovely Daisy collection Fope has designed a thin chain and a series of round features that recall its iconic Novecento mesh, a line of jewels made of 18kt gold which are fine and easy too wear.

Pricing is friendly too, making Lovely Daisy the ideal choice both for women who have always dreamed a Fope jewel and for long-time customers who love mxing different pieces of their Fope collections.

Welcome Wild Rose!

Launched in 2014, this is Fope’s most contemporary collection to this date, it is the bolder and the edgier.

Today the Rose has rounded its thorn a bit, but hasn’t given up its character: the brand new designs include a large airy ring and a beautiful large pendant, both made of 18 carat gold and diamonds.

Flex’it, fine jewellery revolution At the heart of the Flex’it collections is Fope’s unique and patented flexible bracelets and rings. All crafted entirely in 18 carat gold, they are the essence of understated elegance and feel smooth to wear thanks to tiny gold springs hidden between each link. Love Nest has been launched earlier this year and features a thick weave, a round chain and elegant flexible bracelets which make it an obvious choice for the brand lovers.

he world of homes and decorating them has changed so much in the 40 years that I have been in the industry, it has almost gone full circle to the way my grandparents used to live, not necessarily in style but in the way we view the importance of our homes.

The days of fad trends are long gone, thank goodness! Everything today is about “how you live in spaces�, which is what I have always advocated. Of course people salivate over styles and pieces and wish they could have it all, but today and heading forward into 2016 it is about how it fits you. Interior design should fit like a Saville Row suit; perfectly made to measure.

Mixing grey, taupe, blonde and white woods instead of black will be the biggest trend in wood floors and joinery.

Big coffee tables are very on trend at the moment, and the larger the coffee table the better! Side tables and coffee tables are now taking center stage and the more interesting mix of metals there are juxtaposed with wood and lacquer the easier it is to create a statement piece.

The 4 metals that are set to be the biggest trend are bronze, nickel, rose gold, white wrought iron, and beaten black metal.

The use of white matte lacquer for internal doors is a chic way to update a room, especially in the kitchen, gone are the days of shiny surfaces, it’s all about matte!

Black and white flooring and vintage floor tiles are going to have a huge come back, especially when mixed with marble as the combination of textures will give an unexpected edge.

the family security business caring for your family and business

B

roadsword Security Services was founded in 1985 by John Granville. Initially providing property security with night watchmen and security patrols at random times of day or night. One customer in those early days was the Bliss Tweed Mill in Chipping Norton who required security during the renovation of the buildings into apartments as building materials and artefacts were being stolen.

John Granville was soon looking for another way to protect property. Night watchmen and random security patrols were only effective when physically on site and labour intensive, so electronic security systems was the way forward, they’re ready to detect an intruder when the property is vacant and if it’s in the middle of nowhere, the intruder alarm system, if triggered, would in those days play a recorded message over a telephone line to the local Police Station for them to respond and attend.

Technology has changed and improved massively since those early days and in some respects equipment has become better value for money. There are however increasingly more manufacturers producing new technologies but also competing with one another on cost therefore quality, reliability and conformance can sometimes suffer.

Today, Broadsword Security is the largest NSI GOLD accredited independently owned fire and Security Company in the area employing 24 local people of which 14 are engineers. The company is run by Peter Granville, son of John, who has been in the family business for 20 years and a company partner for 16 years of those. Peter took over the helm from his father as managing Partner in 2009 when

John retired from the business.

Broadsword Security maintain some 4000 Fire and Security systems across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire comprising of Burglar alarms, Fire Alarms, CCTV, Access Control and Gate Automation.

Peter is continuously looking for methods of improving efficiency throughout the company to preserve costs to the customer but not compromise on the great quality, reliability and service offered.

ulti-award winning rug designer and founder of Topfloor, Esti Barnes collaborates with photographer and designer Pam Weinstock, to create 2 rugs that will be showcased at their Chelsea Harbour showroom.

The journey started with the ‘PETALS’ photograph taken by Pam, first used as the basis for her ‘VENUS’ fabric and wallpaper range. Pam decided to add a third dimension to image and chose Esti Barnes, well known for her signature 3-D rugs, to bring this idea to life.

FEATURE | Rugs

Pam approached Esti who used her skill and expertise to transpose the photo into a rug.

Esti achieved the stunning effect through the use of graduated colours and the combination of silk and wool, rather than to capture the image through the use of carved pile. The same mesmerizing ‘trompe l’oeil’ effect has been successfully used in Esti’s ‘EVERY STONE’ rug design.

Delighted with the rug, Pam came to Esti with an even greater challenge: to work with her on a new design – transposing a multi-hued photograph of a Phuket sunset that Pam took during her honeymoon into a rug.

The big difference between ‘PETALS’ and ‘SUNSET’ was the subtlety and the considerably greater number of colours in the latter. ‘It is exciting to take something 2-dimensional and turn it into a 3-dimensional object, where look and feel become important, without losing the artistic element!’ says Pam. Esti’s challenge was therefore more demanding and the project required 2 manufacturers and 13 months to complete.

The work involved visualizing and calculating the colour combinations to be used in each square inch of the rug to be able to portray a real sunset.

‘I only used 10 colours to achieve this look which is actually incredible when you see the finished result, as I didn’t want to go overboard with the cost involved in dying 60-70 different colours.

I normally use this many with my graduating designs, such as ‘OH! FRIEND’,’ says Esti. Through the skills of the weavers, the extensive communication back and forth with Esti’s studio and by combining the hues in different ways, the 10 colours magically became 27. ‘It was like doing a jigsaw puzzle and the letters of the alphabet were insufficient to label the different areas with the different colours’ she adds.

The result, however, seems to have made all the hard work worthwhile! www.topfloorrugs.com

Bespoke Furniture

A French chic style requires originality. This is why many of our items can be custom–made to reflect a personal style. Beds and sofas are tailor-made so customers can choose their ideal design, size, fabric and colour. For example, we have a range of 150-180 fabrics and colours plus unique hand woven textile collections. We welcome people to come with ideas and work with us to create something unique and individual. This is a great way to personalise your sofa and other furniture pieces, showcasing original creativity in the home.

Fabrics

Be experimental with fabrics.

A French style evokes sophistication whilst still maintaining warmth. Fabrics add texture and make a property feel homely. Don’t be afraid of minor mistakes in the detail. I am particularly fond of imperfections as imperfections in fabrics provide personality. Where some may see a defect, I see a piece of fabric to which the craftsman has given life.

Colour and patterns

Play with colours and patterns.

Although many associate the French style with being minimalistic, I never shy away from using colour. Colour is a very personal preference – when designing your own sofa, you’ll have the opportunity to coordinate the colour schemes in your home which can change and influence the entire feeling of a property. We love colour, patterns and mixing these to evoke and feeling of relaxation in the room.

5

Detail and Space

Typically, French style pays attention to detail. By adding a simple house plant, mirrors or a splash of colour to your room, this will immediately make your house homely whilst still remaining tasteful with minimal effort. I tend to avoid following fleeting trends as a chic style is timeless. It’s important to pay attention to the space in your home; a chic style will always avoid too much clutter.

Should I have a survey? uyers often ask this question when purchasing a home because it seems like adding an unnecessary expense to the buying costs. However, it is considered wise to have a surveyor come and inspect the property and report on findings because, as with many ‘second hand’ products (excluding new homes) that they have history which is useful to know. Not only does the survey highlight any construction and legal issues that may be present but they will also advise on things to watch out on in the future; such as maintenance issues.

Having a survey could be a cost-effective way to avoid unpleasant and sometimes expensive surprises after moving in. Surveys should therefore be considered as documents which add value to the property (if purchased) and seen as an investment as opposed to just an added cost. A house with the benefit of a survey can fetch a higher price in the market.

What type of survey should I have? For a

B

Mortgage Loan, there will be a Valuation Surveyor who is sent to carry out a valuation on behalf of the Bank or Building Society but it is still recommended that you instruct your own independent surveyor to carry out a survey (Both Consumers’ Association Magazine ‘Which?’ and the Council of Mortgage Lenders give this advice.) This is because mortgage valuations are prepared for your lender; not for you, the borrower.

Therefore, reports do not highlight personal concerns or give details of the condition of the property – just whether it offers suitable security for your loan which is secured against it. The RICS offers two types of survey for buyers; A Building Survey (formerly a Full Structural Survey) or the HomeBuyer Report (HBR) A Building Survey is a customised service suitable for all residential properties and gives full details of the construction and condition. The Building Survey is especially recommended for unusually built, run down,

Listed/older properties – or properties which have been significantly altered or with which you are planning a major conversion or renovation.

The RICS HomeBuyer Report includes an inspection, a report and a valuation. It is different to a Building Survey in three ways: 1) It is designed for modern/new built houses, bungalows and flats. (Flats and leasehold ownership have special terms for consideration prior to purchase).

2) The HBR contains ‘Condition Ratings’ (Scaled 1-3) to elements of the building, highlighting what the surveyor considers to be the most important issues or defects which may require immediate attention or could affect the value.

3) The HBR includes the surveyor’s opinion of the current Market Value and Reinstatement Cost for rebuilding required for insurance purposes.

If the survey highlights that there are problems with the house – what should I do?

A: Firstly, do not panic! Read the survey carefully so that you fully understand what issues have been raised and if you do not understand the terminology, do not hesitate to contact your surveyor and ask him the meaning of what has been said. Often buyers panic when reading the Report and assume the worst but, in most cases the problems are solvable and not as bad as initially anticipated. Most Agents and Surveyors will expect some issues to be highlighted within a Report, especially if the house is over 20 years old. This does not mean that you should not go ahead with the sale though.

Speak to both your Agent and Surveyor about the findings and liaise about working through the problem areas and resolution with them.

ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME!

Key Principles

OF QUALITY INTERIOR DESIGN

Featuring New i.d Interiors well-designed interior not only looks great and is a pleasure to be in, but acts as a much more functional and practical room. It takes experience, skill and knowledge to be a quality interior designer and like every profession, there are several key principles interior designers need to be aware of and utilise in order to be successful in their trade.

Whether you are dabbling with interior design for the first time or you are looking to employ a quality interior design company and want to ensure they have the necessary skills and experience to do a good job, take a look at the following five key principles of quality interior design.

A

Setting the mood: One of the most important principles of interior design is to adapt a certain mood in a living space. The mood is created by internal aspects such as the choice of colour, textures, furniture and fittings. It is important that the ‘mood’ of the room is

Page 92

mapped out during the design stage of the project to avoid any elements of the décor clashing and the mood becoming disjointed or erratic.

Functionality Every room has its own function and a quality interior designer will ensure the room functions at its optimum. For example, the focal point of the room should be optimised not only so it dominates the look of the space but also so it works at its best.

For instance, a fireplace could be surrounded by chopped wood, not only making it look cosy and appealing but also ensuring it can be lit and

used when necessary. Likewise a bed in a master bedroom should be adorned and decorated so that it stands out and is fit for a comfortable and cosy night’s sleep.

Injecting personality into the space Once the mood and functionality has been established it’s time to have some fun playing around with the personality of the room.

Injecting personality into the space is definitely a key principle of interior design and can be achieved by placing accessories into the space, such as pictures, photos, ornaments and cushions.

Personality can also be achieved through certain dĂŠcor features that stand out, such as an accent wall or a ceiling that is painted in a different colour from the rest of the room.

Achieving repetition: If every element and feature in a room was a different style, colour, texture and material, the space would be visually messy, disorientating and uncomfortable to be in.

Another key principle of interior design is to create an element of repetition into a living space. Whilst having a uniform design can look uninspiring and mundane, repeating certain features such as colour, line, texture and

pattern can craft a greater sense of style and create a calmer and more tranquil ambience.

Contrast: By the same token bringing contrast to a room should be an aspiration of most interior design projects. Contrast makes a space more interesting and visually appealing to the eye.

For example, placing directly contrasting colours next to each other such as black and white cushions is widely considered as the hallmark of quality and stylish interior design. www.new-id.co.uk

Executive luxury private jet available for charter for flights within Europe.

Carnegie Aviation, owned by a fastidious English family, owns G-PJDS. Maintained and operated to the very highest standards with safety and reliability at the forefront of luxury and service, G-PJDS has the lowest airframe hours of any Citation Bravo in Europe. Based at Gloucester Airport (Staverton), Gloucestershire in the UK, G-PJDS can be chartered from and to any European airport. With a newly refurbished chic interior, state of the art avionics and a dedicated highly professional crew ensures that passengers travel in style and safety.

With an excellent range, high cruising speed and flying at an altitude of 45,000ft, this Citation Bravo is probably the most cost effective and desirable private jet of its class flying the European skies.
