BROADVIEW SHADING SOLUTIONS
Create a beautiful outside living space
Upgrade your lifestyle with the perfect garden shading solution from Broadview
Advertisement
Your garden is an extension of your living space, somewhere to spend quality time with friends and family while surrounded by the beauty of nature. With the right outdoor shading solution, such as a pergola or awning, you’ll be able to utilise your outside space and enjoy a more al-fresco lifestyle all year round. With one of the largest ranges of outdoor systems in the South, every system from Broadview can be custom designed to fit your property.
A stunning aluminium pergola structure makes an attractive addition to any garden and a truly wonderful area sheltered from the elements all year round, not just in the summer months. Made to fit with the exact requirements of your garden and boasting a range of fantastic features, such as a sliding roof cover or remote controlled retractable louvered roof, a pergola offers you complete flexibility that just can’t be replicated by an extension or conservatory - and you don’t need planning permission!
What’s more, their Broadview Sliding Glass division offers homeowners the ability to enclose an outdoor structure with stunning sliding glass panels so they can be used even in the worst of British weather.
And it’s not just the actual structure that Broadview can provide. Their specialist team works with a wide range of suppliers across the South who offer outdoor kitchens, hot tubs, fire pits and garden furniture – all of which help to create a stunning outdoor living environment that can be used all year round. What’s more, thanks to either sliding glass walls or roller screens, the structure can be completely enclosed and with integrated heating and lighting, it can be used in all twelve months of the year.
When you choose Broadview, the South’s garden shading specialists, for your outdoor structure or awning, you can relax knowing they’ll take care of the entire process, from your free design consultation to fast and efficient installation.
If you’d like to discuss the idea of transforming your outside space, please call 01202 679012, pop into their showroom on the Nuffield Industrial Estate or visit their website patioandgardenshading.co.uk
Simply slide the glass shut and you create a cosy and sheltered garden pod protected from the elements. Or, in warmer weather, all you need to do to make the most of the sunshine is open the panels for the perfect al-fresco space.
As well as their range of pergolas, Broadview also offer retractable garden awnings. Versatile, practical and stylish, awnings are a fantastic addition to any garden and work particularly well for shading areas directly outside your home. They create flexible and meaningful spaces within your garden that enhance the way you use it, whether that’s for creating a sheltered al-fresco dining area, finding the perfect sunbathing spot or protecting the inside of your home from strong sunshine. Available in an array of colours and fabrics, their expert team will help you find an awning to match your needs and style perfectly.

This is how paint colour in your home can affect your mood
A colour expert shares how the hues on our walls can impact how we feel.
The colours on our walls at home affect how we feel much more than we realise, according to Marianne Shillingford, creative director at Dulux.
Whether you need a mood lift, a creative space to think or calming place to chill out, throwing some colour on the walls can make all the difference, she says.
“We fill our wardrobe with colours that help us to become something when we need to. We use colour if we’re going out for a wedding or a big celebration, we’ll put on more colour than we normally would if we went into the office,” Shillingford says.
Alamy/PA “So we use colour all the time as a language to express the way we feel, or how we want to feel. And in our homes, it is more important than anything to get it right.”
And spending more time at home during the last two years means many of us want to make changes to reinvigorate the space we’ve become overly familiar with. “Adding little pops of colour – rather than completely redecorating – is something that’s achievable and changeable without being overwhelming,” she adds.
This is what Shillingford suggests you should do to evoke different moods using paint…
To create a stimulating environment… “Red is the colour that has the longest visual wavelength – it draws your attention. Red has long been associated with eating rooms, restaurants and dining rooms, because it’s the most stimulating colour. It stimulates
conversation, it stimulates our taste buds, it makes everything taste better and sweeter. It’s an incredibly convivial colour for an eating space,” says Shillingford, who recommends Fitzrovia Red or Pugin Red from the Dulux Heritage range.
“You’d be amazed how a tiny flash of red can create a little pocket of energy and excitement… Red is hugely powerful, but it’s one of those colours that you tend to overdecorate quite quickly if you use too much of it.”
To evoke calmness… “Creating calm in any space is about shorter wavelength colours – like blues and greens, that reconnect us with nature,” says Shillingford.
“They appear slightly further away from us, so when we paint them on the walls, it makes the space feel less enclosed and more connected with the outdoors. It’s a fact that being in nature can help soothe a troubled soul, so the colours of nature – whether they are soft, organic blues, grass greens or the colours of raw organic materials – they’re not overwhelming, which I think is perfect if you’ve got children and you’re trying to juggle work and family life.”
Alamy/PA To evoke feelings of sleepiness… “Dark blues and deep greens are perfect for helping you sleep,” says Shillingford.
“Some people do the whole wrap of a room and I think it can look lovely, but I get the feeling people are starting to paint out [sections of a room]. You could split your bedroom into two different spaces, say if you painted up the wall onto the ceiling and down the other side, to create a sort of canopy around your bed in a slighter deeper colour.”
This could “help you relax”, she suggests, “Then you could have a more energising colour somewhere else in the room, that helps you get up in the morning.”

To inspire motivation or creativity… “Get the energy levels up using a strong colour, but if you use too much of a strong colour you can become slightly agitated,” says Shillingford.
“So use blocks of colour, like colour blocking around a picture, colour blocking around a sofa, or a big shape [above a sofa]. Orange is the most creative colour, it’s got the vibrancy of red, but not the scariness of it, so it’s got that energy. More creative people tend to be more relaxed with intense colours, so [go for] oranges and yellows.”
For a happy place to be… “We associate happiness with colours that have more intensity and pigment to them. It’s like putting a little bit of lipstick on, a piece of jewellery, or some amazing shoes. We use flashes of colour like flashes of joy – and it’s the same in a home. “We often think the most joyful colour is yellow, because it reminds us of the sunshine, the first flowers of spring, yellow daffodils, buttercups, primroses. It also reminds us of hopeful things that happen in spring, like harvest corn. It’s uplifting, and it’s quite a common colour for nurseries.
“Pink is another one. We’ve reclaimed pink from its associations with little girls and Barbie – we can all enjoy pink, it’s a gentle flash of joy.”
The Dulux Heritage range (dulux.co.uk) is a collection of 112 colours, marrying classics with stylish hues of today. Easy-to-apply with a smooth finish and velvety feel.

DEBBIE BOYES, Director at Fleur Lettings answers this question from a Landlord
Do I need to have an Electrical Certificate as well as a Gas Safety Certificate?
Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations came into force on 1st June 2020, which simply put a “best practice” requirement on a statutory footing.
Landlords need to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested by a qualified and competent person, and to do so at least every 5 years.
A copy of the Electrical Safety Report must be provided to Tenants, and if requested to do so, the Local Authority. Where works are required, there are legal timeframes for rectifying problems and producing a final Electrical Safety Report.
Local Authorities have been given powers to deal with Landlords who fail to comply eg arrange for the repairs to be done and then recover the cost from the Landlord. For Landlords who don’t comply, a fine of up to £30,000 can be levied.
Having a great Letting Agent who understands these requirements can be invaluable.
Mr A of Corfe Mullen says that Fleur “has extensive knowledge and experience of the letting property market providing Fleur Lettings with an ethos that they regard each property they manage as an important asset and as if it were their own home.”
If you need help with this, or any other area of renting out your property, please contact the friendly and knowledgeable Team at Fleur Lettings on 01202 001080.
