not delicate, they’re almost at home

Interior designer Holly Johnson, from the Holly Johnson Antiques Showroom in Knutsford, o ers some of her tried-and-tested tips for how to have a very vintage Christmas

There are lots of creative ways to incorporate vintage Christmas decorations into your home with simple touches, like fresh greenery, sparkly ornaments, and special decorations and accessories. One simple way Holly Johnson accomplishes an effortless, old-world Christmas Holly’s Knutsford showroom look is with some festive candles, cushions and throw blankets, giving your home a warm feel. She also suggests using greens, golds and reds throughout the home.

If you love Christmas candles, some of Holly’s favourites are from the Rory Dobner collection. This includes beautifully scented, lidded candles in ceramic containers which are hand-decorated with Rory’s intricate ink illustrations. The individually illustrated candle lids are decorated with 22-carat gold on the top of the lid and the rim of the candle container. Once you have used the candle, the container can be reused to hold sugar, trinkets, tea or coffee or as an ornament. This Alice In Wonderland candle (pictured) would add a lovely vintage touch to any Christmas table.

Fornasetti’s Chiavi Segrete

Segrete (pictured), which combines two influential Fornasetti motifs: mystical, dense leaves concealing golden, antique keys. This design has a magical quality, drawing the eye through and around the leaves to discover the secret keys within. Muted shades give way to natural tones of spring undergrowth, with seasonal

twists of autumnal leaves and wintry greys. Another stunning wallpaper is Chamber Angels (pictured), using the unique carouselstyle structure found on the ceiling of the Presence Chamber in the King’s State Apartments at Kensington Palace.

A beautiful glass vase is the perfect accessory to make your Christmas decor feel special. Holly suggests placing a Murano vase in your home for an extra festive feeling. Holly says: “Murano vases are great for decoration are great for decoration and they change in the and they change in the light – in the morning light – in the morning they will appear differently they will appear differently than at night.

CONJURE UP A FESTIVE BEDROOM THIS CHRISTMAS THIS CHRISTMAS

Christmas decorating isn’t just about the tree and the dining table. If friends and family are coming to stay, it’s a great idea to decorate the guest bedroom and make sure your visitors feel the festive spirit there too – and don’t forget about your own room, so you feel as Christmassy in bed as you do in front of the tree.

You can have lots of fun adding in some Christmas decorations to bedrooms: a wreath on the door, twinkly fairy lights above the bed or festive displays of rugs, cushions, throws and bed linen. Here are a few ideas from the interiors experts at Carpet Loom & Newport Beds to conjure up that festive feeling.

Hang decorations anywhere

Who says decorations are just for the tree?! Make your bedroom festive by

hanging up your favourite decorations – in fact, if you have space include a Christmas tree too. There are all sorts of designs, from small traditional types to wooden ones. Use your dressing table if you have no floor space! They will make the room look and feel really festive.

Dress the headboard

You don’t have to go too crazy with tinsel and decorations to make a bedroom feel festive. A lovely garland of foliage will do the trick. Artificial is probably best to avoid pine needles falling on you or your friends during the night. Reed diffusers that give off a festive fragrance will really enhance the decorations too. This season Carpet Loom & Newport Beds is featuring a special locally made “sleep blend” reed diffuser, as well as a Christmas-scented one.

Style with a festive display

Adding a few festive decorations to the bedside tables will help set the Christmas mood. One quick and easy but effective idea is to tie pretty ribbons to the pulls of chests of drawers. Or you can drape tinsel over the bed frame and on the tops of drawers.

Add some homely touches

Make sure your guests’ rooms feel part of the celebrations on Christmas Eve by popping a stocking by their beds. Fill it with a few small gifts for them to open on Christmas morning, such as chocolates or a copy of Shire magazine! If you have a bedstead, then hang them from the foot.

Make it cosy

Fall asleep under soft layers of covers in a blend of Christmas spice colour. Add cushions and throws for extra cosiness – and wake up to Christmas feeling festive and seasonal. Add soft furnishings such as accent chairs with Christmas colour throws and cushions on.

Even better, how about a winter mattress? The Alaska mattress has a winter side made of super-soft fabric that is ideal for colder nights. In summer you simply flip it over for a cooler night’s sleep.

Cosy festive throws and cushions

“Reed di users that give o a festive fragrance enhance the decorations”

Stepping into the limelight

Shropshire Shades has been handmaking bespoke high-quality lampshades for 22 years – and now it’s bringing its superb products direct to consumers

Located on the outskirts of Telford is one of the country’s best-kept design secrets. Shropshire Shades is one of Britain’s leading contemporary lampshade makers. Since 1999, the small, professional team have been making shades for high-end hotels and bespoke interior design projects, as well as creating shades for several of the UK’s top retailers. Now, for the first time, the business is stepping out from behind the “A huge choice scenes and offering its beautiful of fabrics, creations directly to consumers. shapes Russell Cameron, the cofounder of Shropshire Shades, and sizes” says: “Our team has more than 25 years’ experience in the industry. We offer our customers a huge choice of fabrics, sizes and shapes and make every shade by hand, with care and attention to detail.”

Local legends

All shades are handmade to order in Shropshire and some of the fabrics on offer have familiar names, including Telford and Wenlock. Head maker Joanne Lister explains: “Telford, named after our home town, is a versatile fabric, available in 20 colours that looks great on all shapes and sizes. Wenlock is a soft, natural wool felt that we offer in seven rich colours to bring added warmth to any interior.” Less familiar names include Scion Lohko and Colefax Indra. Joanne says: “Scion is a very British fabric brand, which is part of the house of Harlequin. Its Scandiinspired Lohko design is one of our most popular A Colefax Indra shade in blue with its oversized abstract retro-contemporary design. Colefax Indra is a lustrous, textured fabric from the British fabric house Colefax & Fowler. Polished and sleek, it uses a satin warp and strong woven textures to achieve the effect of hammered metal. We have it as standard in copper, teal and silver.”

Pretty and practical

With a wide selection of fabrics, Shropshire Shades’ wares are not just beautiful – there are also many practical options like antibacterial fabrics and acoustic dampening. “Our Stafford fabric is a marine polyethylene that is fire rated, wipeable and antibacterial. It comes in six earthy, textural, woven materials that suit a natural colour palette,” says Joanne. The team make shades in all shapes and sizes and offer a range of accessories so their creations can become pendant lights, wall lights, table lights and ceiling lights. One of the first retailers to stock Shropshire Shades is local independent online store Lightinglover.com, which shares its Telford warehouse with the business.

“The appetite for local, handmade, high-quality craftmanship has increased massively in recent years, and there’s a growing market of interior design fans and home improvers,” says Russell. “It feels like the perfect time to share our brand and start selling to those customers directly through independent retailers.”

MAKE THE MOST OF THE SPACE YOU HAVE

Camilla Monk was awarded a national architecture prize for transforming her own home in the Shropshire countryside into the perfect living space for her family. The director of Shrewsbury architectural practice Architecture Ventures wants to encourage people to reimagine the space they already have, rather than assuming an extension is required.

“We bought the house 14 years ago, understanding that it had huge potential to become our dream family home,” says Camilla. “It has taken a long time to get here but we now have spaces that support the way that we live. By adding a small extension along the back of the house, we now have a home with ample living space for the six of us, with rooms that adjust to suit our ever-changing needs.”

Camilla and her family bought the 18th-century Mount Pleasant for approximately £230,000. After transforming the exterior, interiors and garden space with a £120,000 renovation, it is now valued in the region of £600,000. The project secured her the Best Interior prize at the Daily Telegraph/ Homebuilding & Renovating Home of the Year awards.

While an extension was crucial to creating a light-filled, open-plan property, Camilla is keen to stress she would always encourage her clients to work within the shell of an existing property wherever appropriate.

“I believe in taking a zero-build approach to architecture where possible. I work with my clients to help them see what they have, think about how they want to live, and create spaces that support their lifestyle. I encourage my clients to think outside the norm. Why build if it’s not necessary?”

Camilla established Architecture Ventures in 2012 after honing her skills at regional practices, including Donald Insall & Associates. She works primarily in the domestic sector although she has recently been approached to work on commercial properties by business owners inspired by her style. Camilla Monk’s kitchen/dining room

A spin on the spare

Spare rooms – often seen as bonuses by those who don’t have them and afterthoughts by those who do – can be a crucial part of your home

With another cohort of students off to university this autumn, a void exists in many British homeowners’ lives. There are a multitude of spare rooms in the UK, a situation that inspired home decor brand Dowsing & Reynolds to ask: how could you make the most of the space?

Ally Dowsing-Reynolds, co-CEO at Dowsing & Reynolds, says: “Spare rooms became handy during lockdown as additional spaces to work and play, but giving them a longer-term purpose can add a real touch of personalisation that you can’t always get with your other rooms. Think about how you want to feel in the room. Inspired to create a new piece of music? Motivated to smash your fitness goals? How best to decorate the space will follow, once you recognise how you want to feel. It could be vibrant yellow to encourage creative thinking, or deep green to promote relaxation.”

Dowsing & Reynolds’ interior designers, Xander Shreenan and Connor Prestwood, have some suggestions for Shire readers who want to transform their spare spaces.

“Be bold, take risks and expand your potential”

Decide on a purpose

“It can be really easy to fall into the trap of just throwing any old junk in that room just because you can,” says Connor. “This is counterproductive and can cause added stress at the thought of clutter piling up, but it’s also a waste of the opportunity to be a bit more creative with your room designs. Think about your hobbies – you have the space, so why not dedicate it to giving yourself the perfect getaway spot for you to do what you love?”

An opportunity to be more creative with your room designs

Pick a colour or theme

“Think about your guest bedroom like a downstairs bathroom,” says Xander. “This is a room you can experiment with and make design decisions you’re too afraid to make elsewhere. Try that vibrant wallpaper you’ve had your eye on, or get creative with paint colours and shapes.”

When it comes to spare space, seize the opportunity. Be bold, take risks and expand your potential. Just don’t hang around or someone else might decide they have a use for it first!

Fancy a little tea? Snap up miniature Victorian teaware

This November sees some truly special items available at auction from Halls. Ceramics, glass and militaria specialist Caroline Dennard explains

The Enid and Bruce Moulder collection of toy teaware, an addition to this year’s auction calendar at Halls, is a mixture of delightfully small bone china, porcelain and earthenware tea cups and saucers. These formed parts of sets by which young girls could be taught the formal processes for preparing and serving tea, which was an important part of the 19thcentury social scene: there are paintings of women of this era taking tea with friends, with the hostess’s daughter sat at a small table nearby dispensing tea to other girls.

Often a family would order a full-size service alongside a miniature one for the children, who learned that each piece had its own specific purpose – knowledge that could be the first sign of entrance into adult society.

Many of the Staffordshire potteries produced these small pots, and there was great competition to offer new shapes, decoration and patterns, typically following the changing fashions in the full-size sets. Manufacturers also added pattern numbers to the base of the main pieces as a means of identifying their wares. These provide researchers with clear indications as to the manufacturer and there is now a wealth of information available in print and online, which has made it easier for collectors to identify their pieces. This collection began its formation in 1977 with a single child’s tea service purchased at an antique shop in Woburn as a gift from Bruce Moulder to his wife, Enid. Subsequently, a trip to Portobello Market unearthed a similar set marked Minton. With that, the Moulders A Davenport toy teapot and cover, circa 1840, 8.5cm high caught the collector’s bug and the collection continued growing until 2010.

Many pieces are considered rare survivors, and this collection’s existence is even more incredible given that the approximately 400-plus pieces are remnants of a larger collection – those that survived a direct lightning strike and subsequent fire.

These items will be sold in a timed online auction, which goes live on 5th November and finishes at 6pm on 23rd November.

Letting yourself go green

Landlords are fi nding that making greener choices can attract more tenants

Making sure your home is as green as can be is not just a priority for owner-occupiers – buy-to-let landlords are also taking steps to increase their eco-friendly credentials and reaping the rewards. Jonathan Daines, CEO of LettingaProperty.com, says: “The pandemic helped us to take a new look at human health, including the need to support it in the longer term by facing our environmental responsibilities head-on.” With this in mind, the company has shared its top tips for landlords.

• Replace the bulbs in the house with LED lights. LED bulbs last five times as long as halogen bulbs and are far better for the planet. • Low-flow shower heads aerate the water that comes out of them, giving the feel of normal pressure but only using half as much water. • Install a smart meter, preferably in combination with a learning thermostat. • Dual-flush toilet converters are inexpensive and can save up to 50 per cent of water compared with a normal flush. • Ensure that tenants have sufficient recycling facilities, with sufficient bins for the property’s occupants.

“These are all small steps, but they quickly add up to help landlords work towards a greener world,” says Jonathan. “You can also consider green leases, where environmental obligations between the landlord and tenant become contractual, encouraging both parties to do what they can to make the property more sustainable.”

GRAND DESIGN DREAMERS GET SELFBUILD BOOST

People dreaming of building their own home will welcome new proposals, according to one Shropshire expert

Proposals for the government to help more people build their own homes have been warmly welcomed by property company Roger Parry & Partners, which has offices in Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Welshpool. Richard Bacon MP’s review of custom and self-build housebuilding has found huge potential in the sector that could deliver Richard Corbett 30,000 to 40,000 more homes every year. The review has also recommended a major “scaling up” of self-built homes to boost the overall housing supply. This could mean homes that can be built in weeks that are better designed, built to the highest environmental standards and with cheaper household bills.

Richard Corbett, partner with Roger Parry & Partners, welcomes the review’s findings. “This news comes on top of the government’s commitment of £150m for the Help to Build scheme, which will allow homebuilders to borrow money with lower deposits,” he says, “and also the news that funding is being provided for local councils to create high-quality serviced plots that are ready to go, stepping up self- and custom-build housing projects across the UK.”

DID YOU KNOW?

The UK has around 13,000 self-build homes a year Plan to boost self-builds

Do it yourself

The review was commissioned to improve the housebuilding industry by giving customers more choice, and to make homebuilding a mainstream, realistic and affordable option for people across the country. The Bacon Review puts forward six recommendations: 1. A greater role for Homes England, with the creation of a new Custom and Self-Build Housing Delivery

Unit supporting the creation of serviced plots on small and large sites and delivery at scale. 2. Raise awareness with, among other initiatives, a custom and self-build “show park” and a more robust approach to legislation. 3. Support community, diversity and levelling up by reigniting the Community Housing

Fund and creating more opportunities for communities to build. 4. Promote greener homes and increased use of modern methods of manufacturing (MMC). 5. Align custom and selfbuild changes with planning reforms. 6. Iron out tax issues to create a level playing field between this type of home and speculatively built homes.

The government had yet to publish an official response at the time of writing but the outgoing housing secretary, Robert Jenrick, said: “This will help get more people on to the housing ladder and ensure homes suit people’s needs while providing an important boost to small builders and businesses too.”

New lease of life for hospital

Denbigh’s North Wales Hospital site is about to get a major transformation

The future of one of Wales’s historic buildings looks brighter after Denbighshire County Council planners opened the way for the redevelopment of North Wales Hospital in Denbigh.

An application by Vale of Clwyd-based Jones Bros to redevelop the 50-acre site of the Grade II-listed former psychiatric hospital has been approved by the council’s planning committee. Once the deal is finalised, it should open the way for a project which will boost the local economy by £75m and create 1,200 jobs.

The main hospital building, described as “an exceptionally fine and pioneering example of early Victorian asylum architecture”, will be preserved under the plans. The 10-year project will restore and convert the central section of the hospital into residential apartments, complemented by a mix of services that could include shops, restaurants, and a gym. Elsewhere on the site, they plan to build up to 300 homes styled on traditional Vale of Clwyd houses, as well as a pub and a new purpose-built home ground for Denbigh Cricket Club.

The hospital closed in 1995 and the huge site has deteriorated during ownership by different prospective developers, made worse by regular incidents of arson and vandalism. It had opened in 1848 to provide care for people from across north Wales. By the 1950s it housed over 1,500 patients and employed up to 2,000 staff.

Helen Morgan, head of Jones Bros, says: “We believe this scheme can be a landmark development for Wales and as well as providing a real community of high-quality housing for Denbigh it will also deliver skilled jobs and apprenticeships, help develop local supply chains and provide a multi-million pound boost to the Denbighshire economy.”
