1920s house extension
Room to GROW Over the past five years, Claire Burres and husband Brad Ellis have worked tirelessly to transform their beautiful 1920s home into a space that their young family can grow into
WHY WE LOVE CLAIRE’S HOME As soon as they walked through the arched entranceway of this beautiful 1920s property, Claire and Brad knew that this house was going to be their forever home. Despite its cold and unwelcoming décor, the couple fell in love with the period character of the house. They put in an offer within hours of viewing, and soon had the front door keys in their hands. Their aim? To transform this soulless house into a cosy and stylish home for their growing family. The couple began decorating within weeks of moving in, and five years down the line, the work hasn’t stopped. This DIY-loving pair took on the build themselves so they could stick to their modest budget. As an ex-builder, Brad tackled the extension with help from his family. The first big project was the kitchen renovation, overlooking the garden. Together, Claire and Brad have transformed this home into a modern open-plan space. The interior has the perfect balance of contemporary styling mixed with clever décor ideas that draw your eye to the original period details. It’s the perfect backdrop for their growing collection of vintage furniture and artwork. As a self-proclaimed ‘serial decorator’, Claire admits she uses her home to test out her latest interior ideas. We couldn’t wait to hear what she had to say…

Utility rooms
(TO MAKE A CLEAN SWEEP) Armed with a well-ordered, well-equipped utility, your home can sparkle all year round, not just after your annual mammoth spring clean. Sound good? Read on…
T
Adding utility functions to existing rooms is another way to get that washing machine and mop out of the kitchen. You could turn a boot room (okay, back porch) into a boot-ility, perhaps. Room for a stacked washer/dryer in the downstairs loo? Hello loo-tility! The key here is to divide and conquer by creating two clear zones in the room, with dedicated storage for each. A pile of muddy wellies in front of your ironing board is not conducive to crease-free linen shirts. Does anybody even iron anything besides linen anymore? Wherever your utility set up is homed, making it pretty is (almost) as important as any other room you decorate. And, with luck, will prove an incentive to keep it tidy (no promises!). Happily, there is lots of good-looking storage that won’t break the bank. The secret is to avoid the boring plastic in favour of modern designs with colour and texture. A stylish washing basket or laundry bin can bring more joy than you’d ever imagine. Or at least brighten the task ahead. In short, don’t get bogged down by function and purpose – the most covetable utilities include art, plants and pretty lighting. A gin bar could also prove helpful…
he utility room is known as the ‘workhorse’ of your home. In reality, of course, you are the workhorse – sadly the Laundry Fairy doesn’t actually exist – but a good utility facilitates a smooth-running home. Or at least helps prevent it from sinking into a pit of skanky sock-strewn squalor. A good utility also helps make life’s most odious, soul-destroying tasks more appealing. OK, maybe not appealing. But there’s definitely a certain satisfaction to be had when there’s a place for everything and you can get to the washing machine without parkour-grade moves. If you’re not in the hallowed position of owning a separate, dedicated utility room, with an actual door and room to dance while you fold the sheets, sweat thee not. Utility spaces can be carved into the teeniest of nooks, such as under the stairs, in an alcove or by stealing a chunk of garage. A well-insulated garden shed can even do the job but it does need to be close to the house. For plumbing reasons but also so your clean, dry laundry doesn’t get drenched on the journey back inside.

WORDS LINDA CLAYTON
Invest in pretty storage and attractive accessories for a utility that scrubs up well
The type of doors you choose – be it for a utility cupboard or full-blown room – can have a big impact on traffic flow through your home. If the doors open into a busy thoroughfare, try sliding, pocket or bi-fold doors that won’t create an obstruction. Avoid cheap hardware and runners; you want a smooth operation and doors that won’t slowly drop and refuse to close. Make the doors a focal point with barn-style designs on industrial sliders – check out The Main Company’s reclaimed and hand-aged barn doors for inspiration.

REALHOMES.COM
When planning a utility cupboard, don’t forget to include sockets for keeping cordless appliances, like vacuum cleaners, charged and ready to go. Cordless is the future of home technology, so it’s likely you’ll need a charging point for the iron, robot mop and small appliances like blenders and food processors in the future. Basically, there’s no such thing as too many power points. While you’re planning electrics, add lighting as well – automatic lights that switch on and off with the doors will save electricity.

CREATIVE WAYS WITH
TEXTURED WALLS Bring a new element to your decorating scheme and add character, depth and warmth with textured finishes. Here are the latest looks
M
ove over matt emulsion, there’s a new textural wall trend in town, and we can’t get enough of it. As a nation, our homes are getting smaller and simpler. New builds consist of basic box-shaped rooms, lacking the depth and charisma of period houses – so textured walls are a great, inexpensive and easy way to add in some depth and charm. We’re seeing a surge in natural, organic and raw-form finishes, bringing a rustic, relaxed feel, which is no surprise given that we’re spending much longer inside. So from limewash to concrete, and from high gloss to plaster, we’ve gathered the latest new ways to celebrate texture and revamp the look and feel of our homes.
58
When we think of limewash, we picture exactly this. Limewash is a mixture of natural clays, minerals and pigments, creating a wash of various shades that appear natural and raw. It allows our walls to breathe, improves our air quality, reduces the risk of damp and has antibacterial qualities, too. It’s also bang on trend, so it’s the best time to make the change. Asri rattan headboard, £130; rattan arc floor lamp, £65, Habitat. For similar limewash paint colours, try Vanilla and Apple Blossom, each £30 for 1ltr, Bauwerk
Colourful limewash Now isn’t this a textural delight? If you love the raw form of limewash but don’t want to give up on a vibrant colour, paint companies such as Little Greene offer several of their regular shades in a limewash finish, too. This look was created by dabbing the paint on with a sponge rather than a brush, resulting in organic variations in thickness and shade. Oak rattan sideboard, £599; Scandi round oak mirror, £180, John Lewis & Partners. Pall Mall 309 limewash paint, £55 for 5ltrs, Little Greene
TOP TIP
Use a patterned stencil to apply a gloss pattern in the same colour as your emulsion for a shiny detail that’s subtle and unique
Glossy paints have a bit of a bad rep, but let us tell you, things are changing. Light reflective, easy to clean, super durable and lavish looking, they have a lot going for them. Mix and match with other finishes to add depth. Quattro 8 Loft White laminate flooring, £28.99 per m2, Carpetright. For a similar paint, try Observatory No. 34 wood and metal gloss paint, £69 for 2.5ltrs, Mylands Paints

HOME HOME As we spend more time at home, the importance of a clean, healthy environment has increased, as Jennifer Morgan discovers
T
he year 2020 will forever be known as the year we stayed home, but have you thought about your home’s health recently? Our homes can have a huge impact on our own wellbeing, so isn’t it time we explored ways we could improve them – and, in turn, us? As the Artico/Springwise Future of the Home Report 2021* says: ‘The home has gone beyond simply being a place to relax, eat and spend time with family. It has become a place of work, a ward for illness, a vacation destination, a centre of education, the local fitness centre and more. As scientific knowledge of COVID-19 grows, [we’re] responding by adopting new behaviours and adapting old approaches.’ Our homes, what we touch, use and even breathe has come under increased scrutiny. ‘The health of buildings, specifically houses, generally comes down to the quantity and quality of natural light as well as ventilation and heat,’ explains Helen Raum of Raum Architects (raum.co.uk). ‘When we buy a house they generally don’t come with a user manual telling us how to run it most efficiently. We tend to program the heating to come on and off at various points during the day, which fluctuates the temperature.

ways to up your home’s health Easy updates to try now
1 Invest in some lowmaintenance houseplants for all of their air-purifying benefits and none of the faff – try a pothos, peace lily or snake plant.
2 Use natural materials if you can around your home – be it wool carpets or bamboo furniture. Think about reducing plastic and opt for sustainable alternatives instead – like glass containers instead of Tupperware.
3 Opt for soy or beeswax candles over paraffin, which pollutes the air when burned. Go for unscented where possible, or choose those scented with natural essential oils.
4 Crack open your windows for a dose of fresh air and keep them on the latch to improve ventilation. Make the most of the light they bring in by giving them a good spring clean and drawing back the curtains.
5 Choose natural, ecofriendly cleaning products over big-brand favourites, or make your own – head to realhomes.com/tag/ cleaning for ideas.

disturbing others and to balance a healthy degree of separation between our home working and relaxation space so we can still benefit from the feeling of “going home” at the end of the working day. We apply theory to our kitchens – like the working triangle – yet we should look at other areas, too. This can make our homes far more multifunctional than they were designed to be.’ It’s important to our home health to keep on top of the clutter. ‘We’re encouraged to have a capsule wardrobe,’ says Clare, ‘but what about a capsule interior with flexible pieces of furniture you can move between rooms to reduce the number of things we have without limiting options? New-builds often lack storage as rooms can be smaller, so you need to get clever with built-in designs.’ As Sara Bird, stylist and author of Home for the Soul (Ryland Peters & Small, £19.99), says, ‘In today’s fast-paced world, where haste and waste often dominate, we seem to be at a tipping point when it comes to how we design, decorate and inhabit our own spaces. We’re realising that constantly acquiring stuff and chasing trends doesn’t always make for a nurturing, health-giving, happy home.’ Of course, there is one trend that helps restore balance. ‘Biophilic design – while itself not a new concept – has cleverly reimagined the link between design and nature, and the importance of surrounding us with natural elements,’ says Clare. ‘Its current popularity is, in part, a reaction to balance out the proliferation of man-made elements in our lives, that plays a timely reminder that we mustn’t divert too far from the restorative effects of nature. If you are building a new home, you have the option to choose natural materials to form the core, like natural wool insulation, which has proven benefits with lower toxicity and greater insulation properties; you could also install a green energy heating system. On an aesthetic and decorative level, you can inject biophilic design through natural paints, textural natural fibre wallpapers and native wood finishes. Even simply adding more greenery and plants to your interior affords visual, air quality and acoustic benefits.’ How our homes sound is also important to the health of its inhabitants, especially as we spend more time at home and doing more things. Sound-absorbing rugs, pictures hung on walls and curtains can all help. ‘A space where sounds reverberate around creates noise – which can be stressful,’ says Clare. Of course, we can all do more – for the health of our homes, us and our planet. If we look after our homes, then they can help look after us. ‘Homes aren’t meant to be show houses,’ says Clare. ‘They’re physical spaces that tell the story of who we are – not what we aspire to be. A battered, lived-in home deserves to be championed – they have proven longevity and are sustainable by that point alone.’

Healthy homes start with keeping the fabric of the building (the walls) at a constant warm temperature (heating on long and low) and good background ventilation from windows left on latches or trickle vents.’ ‘Research has shown that 20° C is the most comfortable ambient temperature for most people,’ says Richard Bendy of The Healthy Home (thehealthyhome.co.uk), who advises architects and builders working towards Passivhaus Standard builds as well as retrofit solutions to make homes healthier. ‘Any temperature variation too far above or below that can be uncomfortable and, if severe, detrimental to health, especially as you get older.’ There are other benefits, too: ‘As well as avoiding potential illness through draughts, mould growth and stale air, any improvements are likely to make you feel better and save money long term.’ You might live in a new-build and think your home is doing well on its health check, and while it’s likely to be reasonably well insulated and airtight, you might still be in the presence of VOCs, or volatile organic compounds – chemicals found in everything from paint to vinyl flooring that can cause nose and throat irritation and headaches, and particularly affect children, elderly people and those with respiratory conditions like asthma. As Richard explains, ‘VOCs are also possibly baking in already through the materials your home is made of – plastic insulation, MDF cabinets, vinyl paint, plastic floor coverings – but the choice of furniture, furnishings, cleaning products, and how you cook can vastly improve the indoor quality and occupant health in a home.’ Old properties need more of a plan. ‘They often suffer from damp,’ explains Helen, ‘which is one of the biggest causes of unhealthy homes. Spores from the damp infiltrate the air and can cause respiratory issues. Heat and ventilate is the mantra! Yet even the paint you choose could be working against your home’s health. Steer away from vinyl paint, particularly for older properties, as they trap moisture within the walls.’ When it comes to older homes, ‘It’s about retrofitting to improve the airtightness, insulation, controlled ventilation and natural lighting, all using low VOC materials,’ says Richard. ‘Of course, these changes can be carried out over a number of years to aid cash flow, and your plan can be passed on to future buyers if you sell so they can benefit, and in the process your home will make a continuing contribution to reducing climate change.’ But a healthy home isn’t just about getting the fabric and temperature right. It’s also about balance, as interior designer Clare Pascoe (pascoeinteriors.com) explains: ‘We need to balance how each member of a household uses the home so we can enjoy our own space without being isolated; where we can listen to music or watch a film without

Five things...
FEATURE AMELIA SMITH
ONE
Before you even begin planning your kitchen diner, think about how you want your space to work. For example, do you want separated or integrated cooking and eating zones? Do you want a freestanding table that you can move around for parties, or one that’s fixed into place to save room?
TWO
SPLIT LEVEL Divide your island in half and choose tall worktop space for cooking, and a lower table top for comfortable dining. This means you can swap bar stools for dining chairs, giving you that classic dining room feel without taking up extra space. Melrose kitchen, price on application, Wickes
you need to know for a kitchen diner layout that works seamlessly for you
When deciding on a layout, remember to consider natural light. As humans, we gravitate towards it, so position your dining area closest to windows or roof lights. This is where you will spend most of your time relaxing and socialising, therefore the lighter and brighter it is, the better.
THREE
Built-in seating is a real unsung hero when it comes to maximising space. You should plan seating into your kitchen layout right from the start of the design process. Choosing built in frees up floor space, makes your room feel larger and (with plenty of cushions) brings a cosy feel as well.
139
FOUR
Lighting can make or break a kitchen diner. It’s important to incorporate at least two types of lighting: task and ambient. Use task lighting, such as spotlights, above your units to shed bright light on your cooking. Use softer lighting, such as pendants, for your dining area to create a relaxing vibe.
FIVE
As your kitchen adapts to multiple roles, so should the way you decorate it. Features such as art prints, rugs and open shelving work to make your space feel like a comfortable and relaxing room, rather than merely a place for cooking. Patterned wallpaper also works wonders for that homely feel.
