GUIDE ... to home improvement Top Tip Because rooms often aren’t straight or square, don’t use windows, doorframes or corners as a starting point for wallpapering. Create a straight line using a plumb and chalk line.

From there, work around the room, and create a new plumb line each time you round a corner.

To get the seams and pattern looking their best, you should work out how you’re going to hang the paper before you start. There’s usually one wall that’s most prominent - you may want to leave papering this until you’ve done a couple of others and have got the hang of it, but plan where the seams will go on this wall first, so they don’t look too noticeable.

Contents PRINTS CHARMING: A feature wall can brighten up any room using colourful wallpaper

Create your own wonder walls W

HILE some wallpapers are costly, there are lots of inexpensive ones in store and online.

In fact, you need look no further than your local DIY store for inspiration – B&Q, for example, has some stunners and they won’t break the bank.

If you don’t want to go to the hassle and cost of replastering, wallpaper is a good way to improve the appearance of uneven walls.

Thick wallpapers, especially textured and embossed ones, and lining papers are ideal for covering up imperfections (wallpapers with a shiny or reflective surface will highlight lumps and bumps).

Wallpaper is also a great way to add colour, pattern and texture (depending on the design) to a room, whether you’re papering all the walls or just one feature wall.

Feature walls are brilliant because you can go to town with wallpaper without overpowering

Wallpaper’s been back in fashion for ages, so there’s a big choice of designs, and it’s a look you can enjoy a little or a lot, says Julia Gray the room or making it look too busy.

You can even create a horizontal feature on all four walls by using paper above a picture rail, between a picture and dado rail or, more traditionally, below a dado rail.

If you like the idea of breaking up the space visually in this way and you don’t have these original features, you can always add them.

Anyone who lives in a period property knows that the walls and ceilings often aren’t straight, and this problem can be accentuated by patterned wallpaper.

You can either avoid it altogether, choose a pattern that won’t look too bad (straight-across patterns should be avoided with wonky ceilings, and vertical ones with wonky walls) or accept that it won’t look perfect –

Product of the Week Using sandpaper is often hard work and can be painful on the hands, but the Fix It Sanding Kit (£14.99, www.jmldirect.com) makes it quicker, easier and less painful.

The 15-piece kit consists of three shaped sanding blocks and various pads that attach with a Velcro-style base.

The blocks are made of ergonomical moulded foam and you can use them comfortably for long periods.

I sanded some doors using the blocks, then sandpaper on its own and the blocks were definitely an improvement.

another good reason why patterned wallpaper is often best confined to one wall.

You can use wallpaper in any room, including kitchens and bathrooms, although not wet rooms or areas where it will get wet, such as inside a shower cubicle.

There are special vinyl wallpapers designed for kitchens and bathrooms and you can also use conventional wallpaper, although it’s advisable to protect it with a clear varnish designed for paper or, if you want an unusual splashback, a glass or Perspex panel.

Hanging paper can be a bit tricky for novices and takes some getting used to, so the easiest option is to use a paste-the-wall wallpaper.

As the name says, you apply paste to the wall using a roller or brush then stick your cut, dry lengths of wallpaper onto the wall. Unlike conventional wallpaper, you don’t have to wait for the paste to soak in and you don’t have to grapple with soggy lengths of paper.

Hung correctly, wallpaper should last for years, but it can, of course, get damaged by marks, knocks and other rough treatment and it isn’t as easy to repair as paint.

All lining and wallpapers will get tatty and start to come away at the seams eventually.

The good news is that it’ll probably be many years from now.

Let the hall truly welcomer people to your home

City’s Collegiate apartment is certainly top of the class

by JANET TANSLEY

I

T’S city living at it grandest.

Located at 20 Shaw Street in the heart of Liverpool 6, The Collegiate is one of the city’s most imposing buildings.

Founded in 1840, it was designed

by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, who was also responsible for the creation of the world famous St George’s Hall.

And it’s got a great pedigree. Many will remember The Collegiate as the Liverpool Collegiate Institution, which was a renowned day school for boys, with famous old boys including the actor Leonard Rossiter, Holly Johnson, Pete Best and Brian Labone.

It closed its doors in 1985 following a fire before being taken over by Urban Splash.

And it was Urban Splash who developed it into luxury apartments.

Zest Lets, estate and letting agents based in Liverpool, is letting a beautiful two-bedroom full furnished duplex penthouse apartment.

With a rental price of £900 per calendar month, the apartment has a modern, contemporary layout spread over two floors, designed to work in harmony with the Grade II listed exterior.

Julie West, managing director of Zest Lets, who was involved in selling the famous “Beckingham Palace” to David and Victoria Beckham, says: “When standing on the apartment’s private balcony, potential tenants will have magnificent views across the city and directly below to Hope University's Angel Garden.

“The living, dining and kitchen areas have solid oak flooring and solid oak kitchen work tops with integrated hob and oven, a fridge freezer, washer dryer and dishwasher complete this well equipped kitchen.

“The downstairs bedrooms have a monastic feel, with the original narrow windows overlooking the garden.”

In terms of location, the apartment is within walking distance of many of the city’s most famous and best loved landmarks including the Anglican and Catholic Cathedrals, museums, theatres, shops and nightlife.

The Royal Liverpool University Hospital and University of Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine campus

TOP MARKS: The kitchen and balcony of The Collegiate apartment in Liverpool which is to for rent through Zest Lets is a short walk away, making this accommodation ideal for medical students and doctors.

And Julie adds: “If you walk through to the back of the building you have access to a beautiful walled first floor communal garden with a seating area and trees, it really is an oasis in the middle of the city.”

Tenants also have access to a gated, secure car parking space and if you have a second car there is free on road car parking available around the development. ◆ For more information or to arrange a viewing contact Zest Lets on 0151 933 7303.

... to interiors

To make an entrance Don't leave hallways and landings out in the cold. A few flourishes could turn them into well-loved spaces, says Abigail Jackson

A

DMIT it, does your hallway all too often become a dumping ground where bags, shoes and coats are quickly discarded en route to the sofa or kitchen?

When it comes to stylish interiors, halls and landings are probably the most overlooked.

But unused space in a hallway or landing could be transformed into a useful functional area, or simply embraced as an opportunity to display art, family photos, or to store your keys and coats in style.

WARM WELCOME

WELCOME: Family coat rack, £75, Great Little Trading Co, top,The Knight Tile range from Karndean Designflooring, from £24.99 per square metre (main picture) and a hallway decorated using Dulux paints

First impressions count, and your hallway will set the tone when you or guests enter through your front door.

Alan Hughes, faculty director in architectural interior design at the Inchbald School of Design, says: “You want to feel welcomed, received back onto the security of your own zone, and guests need to know whose house they are in and that they are welcome too.

“Hallways are transitional spaces so you remain in them less - this gives you a chance to be bold and experiment.”

An easy place to start is by thinking about colour and texture. Your approach to these will vary depending on whether you want to achieve a sleek, contemporary look, or whether you’d prefer a softer, more traditional, homely feel.

“Vibrant and warm colours are welcoming,” says Hughes.

“Dramatic colours can look jewel-like as a door opens, which is a great encouragement to enter.”

Hall tips: ● Dulux’s Design Service can help achieve bright, bold styles or a minimalist look with contemporary white and neutral colours. One-off consultation fee £295; initial meetings are free (www.dulux.co.uk).

WONDERFUL WALLS Texture isn’t limited to floors; it can be achieved on walls too.

Wallpapers are one option, and there are endless designs on offer nowadays, but a great option for hallways, stairs and landings is panelling.

Installing panelling, such as EASIpanel’s Tongue and Groove panels, is a simple way to breathe new life into this part of the home. It provides a blank canvas for any colour scheme and a quick way to create interest and impact.

Made from high-quality, moisture-resistant MDF, EASIpanel has the same look and feel of solid timber, but won’t crack or shrink like the real thing, making it the ideal product for areas exposed to a greater degree of moisture.

Wall tips: ● EASIpanel Tongue & Groove panels from £9.29 per panel.

Available from Homebase (www.homebase.co.uk; 0845 077 8888).

FUNCTIONAL FITTINGS How you use your hall will determine the furniture to include in it. ”I need a dish for my keys and loose change, which I always take out of my pockets as soon as I get home,” says Hughes.

“An oak chest under the stairs hides clutter and is a good shelf for briefcases and school bags. We use a very large glass punch bowl to keep scarves, gloves and hats neat and tidy, but easy to see.

“Keep furniture to a minimum; adapt radiator covers to house umbrellas and key space.”

Mirrors can also help create the illusion of added space and depth, and it’s always handy to position one near your front door so you can check your reflection quickly before heading out!

If space is limited but you still need storage for shoes and coats, compact shelving, hooks and shoe racks will help keep the area tidy.

Fitting tips : ● Family coat rack, £75, Great Little Trading Co (www.gltc.co.uk; 0844 848 6000). ● ClosetMaid offer a range of storage solution for space-limited hallways. For a traditional look, the 2 Cube Alder, £44.99, is ideal, and for those who prefer more modern, masculine styles, there’s the Cubby, £24.99. Both from Organise My Home (www.organisemyhome.com). ● Vamp up your hallways with stylish heating. Bisque Classic, from £395, Bisque (www.bisque.co.uk).

FAB FLOORING Carpets went out of fashion for a while, as everybody preferred the sleeker, easy-care appeal of wood and laminate flooring, but they’ve been enjoying a comeback of late.

Choosing a carpet will certainly help you achieve a ‘warm welcome’, as soft textures are instantly inviting. Also, a splash of texture and colour can be the perfect offset to clinical, minimalist walls.

The other options are wood flooring or tiles. Real hardwood flooring can be expensive. But it’s a timeless look that will never go out

LANDING ROOM If you have sufficient space, why not look at creating a mini home office area? Even placing a desk on a landing could make a vast difference, providing the perfect answer to space dilemmas

elsewhere in the house.

Unused space under the stairs, or at the tops of landings, could be turned into stylish studies or library areas, with shelving and even some comfy seating.

Pitfalls of plants How many times have you received plants you ordered online which are either sub-standard or dead? Hannah Stephenson looks at a new campaign which aims to improve things

I

F YOU’RE among the unlucky people who order their plants by post and have received dead or dying plants, battered bulbs and dried-out specimens, help is at hand.

Which? Gardening, the Consumers’ Association magazine, has just launched a “Better Plants

By Post” campaign to make people aware of their rights and encourage retailers to improve their services.

This followed a survey it carried out among customers who have bought plants online or by mail order/phone in the past two years.

Some 36% of respondents had experienced a problem when buying plants in this way, with the most common complaint being the quality of plants or bulbs provided, packages left on the doorstep while customers were away and damaged packaging.

Others received dead or dying plants, specimens that were too small or which quickly succumbed to disease and some which were rotten on arrival.

Only half of those who complained received replacements, while a fifth received a refund.

The survey also asked customers to rate the service they had received from 26 retailers.

David Austin Roses, Bloms Bulbs,

DEAD LOSS: Buyers report receiving dead or dying plants, specimens that are too small and some which were rotten on arrival.

Crocus and Sarah Raven came out top for customer satisfaction, while Garden Bargains, Spalding Bulbs and Bakker were at the bottom.

In its latest issue, the magazine offers tips on what you should do when faced with common problems and your legal rights.

If you receive a plant you think is dead, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 says that you are entitled to a refund as long as you have notified the retailer of the problem within “a reasonable time”. What is reasonable depends on the circumstances, but is typically three to four weeks, or less, from when the goods are received.

Contact the seller as soon as you know there’s a problem.

Similarly, if a plant you receive is

Best Of The Bunch Delphinium They are among the most majestic of perennials in the cottage garden, throwing up towering spires in shades of blue, white, cream, lilac and pink varieties in mid-summer.

Delphiniums grow best in full sun or where they will receive sun for at least half the day.

They like fertile, well-drained soil and won’t survive the winter in waterlogged conditions, so make sure you dig in plenty of garden compost before planting to improve the soil’s ability to hold water without waterlogging.

Most delphiniums need staking although some of the Elatum

hybrids, such as ’Mighty Atom’ and ’Lord Butler’ have spires which will cope well in windy conditions.

Their best companions in a mixed border include dahlias, Japanese anemones and asters, although roses also make a stunning plant partner.

Make sure you protect the young plants from slugs in spring. Summer favourites include ’Faust’, with its strong spikes of deep ultramarine, ’Loch Leven’, which produces soft mid blue flowers with a white eye, and ’Cherub’, a dainty pink-mauve variety which grows to between 55-165cm (22-66in) high.

diseased, you can ask for your money back within a reasonable time, or a replacement. In the first six months, the onus is on the seller to prove the plants weren’t supplied diseased rather than you having to prove that they were.

It makes no difference if the plants were damaged before they were sent or in transit, it’s the seller’s responsibility, so you can ask for your money back within a reasonable time, or a replacement.

Don’t let the seller put the onus on you to take it up with the courier they used.

If you’re worried you haven’t received the plant you ordered, but won’t know until it flowers or fruits, you can ask for a refund (you could argue you have more than the

usual “reasonable time” as you couldn’t know the problem until it flowers) or a replacement, sent at the seller’s expense. Raise your concern with the seller as soon as you suspect they’ve sent you the wrong plant.

If you ordered a plant but by the time it was delivered the window for planting it or potting it up had passed and a specific date had been given for delivery, you could argue that time was of the essence in the contract and that by failing to deliver by that date, the seller breached the contract. You should get a refund.

If no specific delivery date was given, the seller should have delivered within a reasonable time.

The reasonable time would depend

on the circumstances and the window for planting the plant you ordered.

The campaign is urging retailers to adopt 10 key criteria – some legal obligations, others just good practice – to improve their service.

These include giving an accurate description of the plant (including its size) and flagging up any particular growing requirements, adopting strict quality control measures before the plants are sent out and ensuring packaging is secure enough to completely protect the plant in transit. ● THE full report is in the July/August edition of Which?

Gardening. For more advice about buying plants by post, visit www.which.co.uk/plantsbypost.

Things to do this week ● Ensure your bird bath is filled up in dry weather. ● Trim conifer hedges and take cuttings. ● In warmer weather, pests and diseases can multiply rapidly.

Greenfly and blackfly breed fast so keep on top of them and plant a variety of plants which will attract beneficial insects to keep a balance between pests and predators. ● Introduce fish into your pond when the water is warmer. ● Continue to mow and trim edges at least once a week. ● Sow biennials, herbs and vegetables. ● Plant autumn-flowering bulbs

including Nerine bowdenii and colchicums. ● In moist weather weed seedlings will appear almost overnight, so regular hoeing will deal with them. ● Harvest seed from perennials on dry days and store dry, clean seed in small packages in a sealed box in a fridge. ● Lift and divide spring-flowering bulbs.

Many tulips and bedding hyacinths need to be lifted annually and stored, ready for re-planting in autumn. ● Tie in new canes of blackberries and hybrid berries separately from the fruiting canes, so they don’t blow about and damage the fruiting canes.

Good enough to eat Harvesting onions

Those onions you planted earlier in the year should be ready for harvesting any time soon, but there are signs to show when they’re ready for digging up.

They’re ready when the leaves begin to turn yellow and flop.

While some recommend

that the leaves of onions be bent over to encourage them to ripen, it actually happens naturally anyway.

Ease the bulbs from the soil with a fork and leave them on the soil for a few days if it’s warm and dry.

To help them dry quicker for storage, make a

chicken wire support for the bulbs, allowing air to circulate freely around them.

Once dry, onions can be either tied up to make an onion string which can then be hung in a shed, or just placed in a single layer in boxes.

3 ways to ... Make the most of fertiliser

1

TAKE CARE: Plants being delivered by a postman and, inset, the Which? 'Better Plants By Post' logo

Don’t overfeed your plant. Too much fertiliser inhibits the uptake of water and plant foods from the soil, so follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

2

When planting large plants and shrubs, add a small handful of general fertiliser to the soil in and around the planting hole. Smaller plants won’t need as much.

3

Remember that if you use a feed with a high ratio of nitrogen on a flowering or fruiting plant, the plant will make lots of soft leaf growth at the expense of flowers.

Canny Britons reduce mortgage debt by £8.8bn BRITONS reduced their mortgage debt by £8.8bn in the first quarter of this year as the housing market remained subdued, Bank of England figures reveal.

The figures indicate that households are putting more money into the housing market, through deposits or mortgage repayments for example, than they are taking out, with a cumulative £122bn injected since the summer of 2008.

However, the Bank said there was “little sign” that households are trying to pay down debt more quickly than in the past, and a lack of activity in the housing market and a reduction in re-mortgaging are underlying the figures.

Several surveys have forecast house sales to remain sluggish this year, with continued uncertainty over the economy and the eurozone and lenders predicted

to tighten their borrowing criteria further and raise their rates.

There has been a general trend towards injections of housing equity since the start of the financial crisis, with a reduction of nearly £8.6 billion in mortgage debt in the final quarter of last year.

The latest figure shows that households spent the equivalent of 3.3% of their post-tax income on reducing their mortgages.

However, the figure remains below a record net injection of £10.1 billion seen during the spring last year.

The weak and patchy housing market has left many people with insufficient equity in their homes to withdraw money, while home owners could also find it harder to increase the size of their mortgage due to the tighter criteria being applied by lenders.

DEBT DOWN: People are paying into their mortgages rather than saving Analysts said the trend towards an injection of cash rather than a withdrawal seen for 16 quarters in a row could have a restricting effect on consumer spending, affecting the wider economy.

Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight said that despite the Bank playing down people’s

desire to pay down their debt more quickly as a factor, poor returns on savings have “undeniably” made it more attractive for people to use any spare funds to reduce their mortgages.

He said: “House prices currently remain soft, which could well further encourage a net

injection of housing equity in the near-term at least along with the very worrying economic outlook and deteriorating labour market.”

Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said: “The low level of transactions has also reduced the opportunity for households actively to withdraw equity when they buy a house or remortgage.

“And for many households, this will therefore have reduced the funds they have available to spend.

“The need to keep loan-to-value ratios low in order to get the best mortgage deals may also have discouraged some people from withdrawing equity.”

She added: “Looking ahead, the combination of tight credit constraints, falling house prices and weak consumer confidence is likely to keep equity withdrawal falling for some time yet.”

Luxury

by SARAH HOOLEY

T

HIS beautiful Victorian detached residence is nestled in the heart of the private, leafy surroundings of Cressington Park.

Internally, the accommodation has been sympathetically modernised and improved, while retaining much of its original character and charm.

On the ground floor a reception hallway gives access to a formal sitting room with a square bay window, varnished floorboards and an open fire.

A cinema room/library with an automated cinema projector screen and integrated music system lies adjacent to this, and there is a family room and an impressive hand-crafted kitchen/sitting/dining room. A real highlight of the property, the open-plan kitchen/ sitting/dining room has a stunning glazed roof lantern in an apex design and French floors that open to a stone terrace, as well as granite work surfaces, a central island and range-style double oven with five-burner gas hob and grill.

A utility room, rear hallway and wc complete the ground floor.

An elegant return staircase leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom with a roll top slipper bath on the first floor, including a superb master bedroom suite with sash

windows, built-in handmade furniture, a fireplace and a contemporary en-suite. There is also a shower room, two further stylishly decorated bedrooms and a hobby room to the second floor.

Outside, the property is surrounded by beautiful gardens presented to a high standard. The

front garden has a driveway providing off-road parking, and to the rear there is a raised terrace and formal lawn with boxed hedging, plus a secluded sitting area, a tree house, a wild flower garden and a vegetable garden. ● Cressington Park, £775,000; Sutton Kersh, 0151 734 0666

A

WIRRAL site manager has been commended for running one of the safest building sites in the UK by the National HouseBuilding Council (NHBC).

Redrow Homes site manager Tony Gordon, who oversees operations at Dibbin Brook, off New Chester Road, Bromborough, Wirral, has been recognised for his best practice approach to health and safety.

He is one of just 25 site managers, out of hundreds in the country, to pick up a commendation award in the ‘large builder’ category at the 2012 NHBC Health and Safety Awards. Commended site managers will be judged further by an independent panel of experts, who will announce overall winners for each category.

Tony said: “We take pride in our excellent health and safety record on site, and we are very pleased this has been recognised by the NHBC. The wellbeing of our employees, sub contractors and visitors remains a top priority, and this has a direct impact on the quality of the homes we build.”

Tony has previously been in the limelight for winning two consecutive NHBC Pride in the Job quality awards, in 2010 and 2011, placing him in the top 400 site

HAT’S on your ‘want to do list’ as you get older? That's what McCarthy & Stone, one of the UK's leading retirement developers, is asking.

Whether it’s enjoying more holidays, spending time with the grandchildren or taking up a new skill or hobby, from skydiving to salsa, McCarthy & Stone wants people in Liverpool over 60 to get in touch to tell them how they plan to make the most of their later years.

All responses received by the retirement developer will be entered into a free prize draw to win one of five holidays, with McCarthy & Stone revealing what tops the over 60s’ ‘want to do’ list.

Steve Secker, regional managing director for McCarthy & Stone, said: “Our retirement apartments are built around a belief that later life can be rich, rewarding and hugely fulfilling. It’s your home and you own it. But the low maintenance lifestyle on offer means you get the freedom to do what you’ve always wanted, whether that’s seeing the latest show, catching up with family or learning to sail. So tear up your ‘have to do list’ and let us know what you want to do instead.”

Prizes include an eight-day escorted tour of Italy, a four star

Safety put first managers UK-wide.

The NHBC is one of the leading standard-setting and consumer protection bodies for new homes in the UK. Its awards scheme rewards well-managed sites and companies that can demonstrate effective health and safety planning and execution, engaged workforces and the best health and safety

management systems.

Simon Mantle, the NHBC’s group health and safety policy manager, explained: “As the house-building industry emerges from a difficult economic period, it’s the perfect time to recognise site managers who have maintained exceptional health and safety standards on-site.

“We have been extremely

impressed by the standard of health and safety we have encountered throughout the judging process.

These awards play an important role in encouraging best practice.”

To see the quality on offer at Dibbin Brook visit the show homes, open daily 10am-5.30pm. For more details call 0151 345 0996 or visit the website, www.redrow.co.uk.

Do you dream of a new home that’s all yours?

When you choose to buy at Mill Brook in Liverpool you can personalise all those finishing touches to make your house your home.

Compendium Living, the company behind the successful Mill Brook development, in Nethereley, is giving purchasers £5,000 towards upgrades, carpets, white goods or blinds, or any combination they choose.

It is sure to come as welcome news to first time buyers and families who opt for one of the stylish new two and three-bedroom properties at this brand new development, priced from £104,995 to £156,995.

Fields sales manager Anne-Marie O’Doherty said: “Moving home needn’t be a stressful and expensive time, as our £5,000 offer to help our customer’s personalise their home will help ease the pressure on them and their purses.

“Home buyers can use the contribution in any way they choose. They can select options from our extensive ‘Inspirations’ range of upgrades across kitchens, bathrooms, fixtures and fittings, or they might want to use it for carpets,

appliances, or finishing touches such as blinds.

“The offer can be tailored to suit their own personal preferences, whether they are setting up their first home or starting afresh.

It really will make moving home a pleasure.”
