MAKING A
Be bold and make a statement!
GRAND ENTRANCE
Turn your hall into a star feature of your home - add a red carpet if you really want to join the glitterati - and just wait for the compliments for your 'award winning' taste.
Y
ou could transform your own 'entrance' into a star feature by giving the hallway of your home a 'make-over'."Turning on the style in a hall couldn't be more important," says interiors expert, Andrea Maflin for Fun On The Floor, an association of carpet specialists. "After all, a hall is the first space visitors encounter and its décor sets the tone for the whole home."
“
there's no need to hold back from making a statement. Use oversized accessories for drama such as a huge mirror or a striking chandelier.
All too often though, hallways wouldn't win any prizes for their décor as they're dowdy, neglected areas, collecting only clutter and debris rather than admiring glances as family and visitors pass through them. "But these days halls and glamour should go together," stresses Maflin. "It's easy to get a fabulous 'welcome home' feeling with a thick, velvet pile carpet, perhaps in a stunning, bold colour such as 'red-carpet' red.
”
Naturally, halls have to accommodate practical details such as storage but that needn't limit the scope for imaginative effects, says Claire Hornby, creative stylist for Barker & Stonehouse.
Henshaw black console table, £450, Osaka Cranberry wallpaper, £27 per roll, large Paloma glass lamp base, £90, cranberry vertical stripe shade, £40 and Claverton runner, £150, from Laura Ashley.

"This is an area where you really can stamp your personality. A hallway and stairs are the core of a home, and provide a link to all the other rooms, but you can afford to be bold with decor style and colour because it's not an area where you are going to sit and relax." So make sure your entrance makes you proud and welcome in the glamour by following our guide to halls of fame.

Hallway solutions: Colour and pattern are now essentials for successful rooms, and a hall could be an easy place to start experimenting with decorative papers.
Stage a floor show Think flooring before walls as it has a dramatic effect, especially in a hallway where the eye is naturally drawn downwards and to the key feature - usually the stairs. "Don't rush into a flooring choice," advises Maflin. "Mistakes can be expensive and it is more costly to change than paint or wallpaper. Generally, I'd use the same flooring for hall, landings and stairways as this will give continuity to the scheme." Hallway solutions: Poseurs would love their own 'red carpet' and Fun On The Floor has a classic, a Balta Christchurch Twist in True Red, £29 per square metre.
Lighting sets the mood in halls, says expert Sally Storey, design director at John Cullen. "Often hallways are narrow and can look dull but you can overcome that by featuring an oversized lantern or chandelier. Do ensure though that the light levels can be altered by having it on a dimmer switch," she advises.
"In a long hallway avoid a central downlight, and instead But if you haven't got a celebrity budget, simply paint the use shallow wall lights or table lights to break up the stairs red! space by providing a soft glow. Recessed downlights could create a wash of light on one wall." Louise Smith, Dulux colour and design manager says: "You can create a stylish stair runner easily using paint." Hallway solutions: Marks & Spencer and Bhs both have She advises sanding stairs thoroughly first, then an impressive array of eye-catching chandeliers to suit drawing the outline of the runner using a pencil and your budget and your taste. ruler. Masking tape along the edge should help ensure a sharp, accurate line when painting. Apply a coat of Dulux Multi-surface primer, £12.49 for 750ml, allow to dry thoroughly, and then use a deep red, Dulux Celebration, in non-drip gloss for wood and metal, £8.99 for 750ml.
Wonder walls Skinny, narrow, short or square: Rather like figures, hallways come in all shapes and sizes. But just as we use clothes to make the best of our appearance, paint and colour can also do a lot to 'trick the eye' and appear to alter the shape or size of this space. In a dark hall, for instance, enhance the light by using gloss paint on walls. Alternatively, bring a lofty ceiling down a peg or two by painting the area above a picture rail a warm shade, one which is darker than the walls below.
Stunning storage One of the easiest ways to add razzledazzle in a hallway is with a striking piece of furniture, from a wooden chest to a slim console table, and hanging a mirror above it will further enhance it.

Graham & Brown's Spirit collection also features lovely papers to suit a hallway, including a stylised floral range, Charm, £30 a roll.

If you choose mirrored furniture as well as a large wall mirror you will easily maximise the feeling of light and space." In my view, it's hard to beat the glittering good looks of Graham & Green's Manhattan console table, £498, which is covered in multi-faceted mirrors. Complement it with the company's round bevelled wall mirror, £285.

FIRST DRIVE:
hyundai
iX35
THE HYUNDAI IX35 follows the trend for family crossovers that combine the practicality and sensible proportions of hatchbacks with the high-rise driving position of SUVs. It's roomy as well, with a smart and stylish interior layout.
A
poorly performing economy forces most of us to consider how we spend our cash, and it often only takes a quick scan through the direct debit inventory, shopping list or - for the particularly organised - monthly budget to see where 'swinging cuts' can be made. Sometimes, things don't need to be chopped at all. Instead, items can be replaced with a brand that offers better value. The same goes for larger items, including cars. Hyundai has had a better recession than most. Historically considered a value-for-money (aka budget) brand, the resulting badge snobbery has offered the Korean manufacturer little justice in the past. Of course, with budgets squeezed, the 'value brand' has been of considerably more interest to many it seems the 33,000 drivers who took advantage of the scrappage scheme to buy a new Hyundai found the quality to be up there with the big-name brands. This is a point driven home by the fact that, as used car market experts are nervously pointing out, many of the
drivers who purchased under scrappage don't intend to upgrade any time soon. Their new Hyundai is to see them right for a few years, with full advantage taken of the five-year warranty. A more emphatic recommendation is hard to find. Can 33,000 people be wrong? Probably, but judging from the quality of Hyundai's latest arrival, they certainly are not on this point.

MOTORING torque, making it an undemanding car to drive. Refined on the motorway and with a duly responsive and a well-behaved chassis on a B-road it's hard to find fault. The steering may be a little springy for some, with the wheel whipping around aggressively to the central position when emerging from a junction, but this does equate to a responsive feel. In terms of road-holding the four-wheel drive chassis has obvious benefits, but the two-wheel drive version is very capable.

It's a struggle to find an angle from which the iX35 suffers aesthetically

The iX35's piece-de-resistance, however, is its equipment. Two trim levels are available, Style and Premium, with upgrade packages bringing satnav, upgraded dials and a more powerful sound system.
Yet even the entry-level model gets heated front and rear seats, reversing sensors and Bluetooth amidst a long list.

These elements are to be expected from an eminently sensible, value-for-money proposition, but the cutting edge styling is perhaps not. It's a struggle to find an angle from which the iX35 suffers aesthetically. Granted, it's not supercar exotica, but it's more than a match for its European rivals and a shape drivers can be proud to be seen at the wheel of - an important factor when considering the 'badge snobbery' issue. Inside, there's a similar appeal. Build quality is strong and the interior layout smart and stylish. An attractive set of dials greets the driver and there are obvious nods towards occupant convenience; the window and door mirror switches are angled towards the driver for example (a trend that appears to be to comfort in the modern era what damped grab handles were to comfort in the previous decade). It's roomy, too. Headroom is naturally very good, but legroom in the rear is surprisingly generous and the boot is not short of potential. The iX35 does not feel particularly wide however; three adults across the rear bench may find things a little cosy. The sensible dimensions pay off in terms of road manners, however. Like all good crossovers it doesn't feel like a big car in town, but offers an excellent driving position with a genuinely commanding view. The 2.0-litre diesel unit provides evenly distributed

T.C.F.C TRIPLE TRIUMPH FOR T.C.F.C Following on from Thornton Cleveleys FC Seniors first team clinching promotion to the West Lancs Premier League last month two of T.C.F.C Junior teams have followed suit by winning their respective leagues too. Andy Hulme guided his Under 13s team to promotion to the Blackpool and District A division by winning 14 of their 16 games with 1 draw and only one defeat. A massive goal haul of 85 goals and 30 conceded pays testament to what a fantastic season all the squad have had after a turbulent season during their Under 12s season. Manager Andy Hulme commented “. As a parent who has watched a lot of these lads grow up together before I became the team manager it has made me even more proud to be involved with them. I don’t want to praise any member of the squad individually as this season was a real team effort which hopefully we can carry through to next season and at least hold our own in a league we feel that we rightly belong. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a huge thanks to all players, parents and staff of T.C.F.C U13’s for their support and I am already looking forward to another great season as Under14s.
Not to be out done Kevin Hoggarth and his team of Under 9s ended their inaugural competitive Poulton and District Primary League season as league champions. Playing 7 –a – side football with the two teams combining their results the Red team and White team mustered 22 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 32 games between them. Team manager Kevin was only too keen to summarize what turned out to be a fantastic season “A good start to the season was soon capped with good results against the sides that everyone knew was going to be competing for the league title. It was then that the penny dropped with the players, they could, if they played to their

www.thorntonclevleysfc.org potential be involved in fighting for the league themselves. Around the start of December the league took a back seat to the cup and a preliminary round against the then league leaders. Victory was achieved and several rounds later a semi final appearance in the Coulton Cup; A competitive game ensued and it went all the way to penalties. The opposition dealt with the pressure a little better than our boys and went through to not only make the final, but win the cup so it was no disgrace losing to the eventual winners.The loss hurt the TCFC under 9 players and proved to be the spur to some great results in the run in at the end of the season. In the long run-in the league proved to be filled with competitive sides and points were dropped by all the leading contenders, a final game showdown was avoided and TCFC were Poulton and District 2009 / 10 league champions with one fixture to spare and an eventual 9 point winning margin”. Kevin was also keen to praise all who had helped make their first season such a positive one “A massive thanks has to go the all at TCFC who have helped, particularly my assistant managers and coaches. The boys parents have been fantastic in their support both on and off the pitch and I must say thanks to opposition managers and coaches who have also helped me through my first season as a manager in junior football. The final word, thanks and huge well done must go to each and every player of the 2009 / 10 TCFC Under 9's, who have ALL contributed to a tremendous season. Well done boys, bring on next season.
