IMPROVEMENT P ivacy made pretty Is your outdoor space lacking in privacy and in need of a little embellishment? If so, you might want to take a look at Screen With Envy’s beautiful range of outdoor screens and trellises. Designed with the latest interior trends in mind, these screens prove that gardens can be super stylish and off limits to prying eyes at the same time. Whether you want to create your own jungle sanctuary with a botanical design or invite a taste of the East into your garden with a pattern inspired by Arabic architecture, the choice is yours. All the Screen With Envy screens are made from a durable wood composite, but maintain the texture and appearance of natural wood. For a completely unique piece, bespoke designs are available upon request. Prices start from £40. Visit screenwithenvy.co.uk to see all the options available.
Open and shut If you’re fed up of moisture building up on your bathroom windows, then California Shutters can help. The company’s waterproof shutters are ideal for rooms with high humidity. Made from ABS plastic that’s coated in a high-quality lacquer, available in four colours, the shutters won’t warp, peel or fade and, best of all, they’re the most affordable option in the California Shutters range – prices start at just £168 per square metre. Waterproof shutters come pre-drilled so they’re easy to install and as long as you measure up correctly, you’ll have beautiful covers fitted in no time. Visit californiashutters.co.uk to browse the full range.
Cast an eye over your home Like most smart home-security cameras, Imou’s Ranger IQ will send footage and text alerts to your phone if it spots something unusual. But it also has a few other features to make it even smarter. Its spherical design allows it to track movement and eliminate blind spots; it can capture and stream high-quality, full-colour footage even in low-light conditions; and it has clever human-detection software to prevent false alarms caused by pets. It’s compatible with Google and Amazon’s smart assistants and costs £85.99. Visit amazon.co.uk to learn more.
ADD SOME COLOUR Summer is the perfect time to freshen up your garden furniture. But instead of simply adding a new coat of clear wood stain in the same old shade of brown, how about a daring aquamarine or confident coral? Sadolin’s range of durable opaque wood stains provide an even finish and are quick-drying, so they’re ideal if you’ve got children or pets running around while you’re applying them. Plus, they come in all sorts of colours so you’re sure to find the perfect shade for every piece of furniture and your fences too – you could even brighten your shed.
