HETHER you are redecorating your whole house or just one room, now is a good time to kick out the old look, to reveal a brighter, lighter, fresher style for spring.
If you’re looking to breathe new life into your interior, there is a trend to suit all homes this season; from zesty citrus shades to dazzling brights, pretty florals, exotic ethnic accessories and retro 50s looks. If you’re desperate to bring a little sunshine into your home, the latest bright and beautiful trend is ideal. Think zingy lemon, lime and tangerine hues, vivacious fuchsia pinks and bright
blues paired with calming neutral hued furniture and décor. A great way to inject a heady dose of colour into your interior, you can either opt for just one bright colour and use it throughout your accessories, or try mixing and matching accessories, ornaments and soft furnishings in a few bright colours to make a real style-statement. For those keen to bring a sense of the outdoors into their home, the latest botanical and floral trends are ideal. Try mixing fresh shades of green with leafy, botanical prints and natural materials like wicker and wood for an effortless way to freshen up your home. Or to make your home look blooming
marvellous for spring, consider incorporating floral prints into your décor. Look for crockery with a delicate, vintage-inspired floral pattern; artwork and cushions adorned with big, bold blooms or curtains embellished with an elegant rose print. With the Royal wedding this year, regal themed interiors are also expected to be huge. To bring some regal style into your humble abode try mixing sophisticated, Re-

gency-style furniture, ornate damask print wallpaper, gorgeous gilt mirrors and elaborate chandeliers. For a kitsch take, look for nostalgic, Union Flagthemed accessories and homewares. Other trends include mixing vintage and craft-inspired items; adding a sense of the exotic with ethnicinspired furniture and accessories or go retro with statement 50s pieces or hippie-chic 70s accessories and prints.

ROBINSON & NEAL
RALLY SPECIAL! The Dulux Trade MSA Rally Championship is coming to Welshpool on Saturday 2nd April... and you can see Alan Cookson’s fantastic Subaru Impreza on Wednesday 30 March at our Birkenhead showroom (1 Valiant Way, CH41 9HS) 8am – 10am, and Chester showroom (171 Boughton, CH3 5BH) 12- 2pm.
Strong florals and powerful colour palettes can work brilliantly together, creating an exuberant décor with a bohemian feel. The trick is finding the right mix of clashing and harmonising elements. Harlequin’s delectable Anoushka collection does exactly this. Drawing its inspiration from myriad folkloric influences including textiles, fashion, illustration, art and ceramics, the individual elements are strong but the overall feel of the collection is embracing and welcoming... Meanwhile, the current 1950s revival is everywhere - on the stage, in fashion and definitely back in our homes. The rules for creating an authentic ’50s look are to keep it simple, avoid clutter and go for pointed wooden furniture and a couple of signature accessories such as a sunburst clock. And of course, choose a fabulous wallcovering. Little Greene has cleverly reworked vintage patterns to give them a contemporary feel: Herbes Cocktail (right) is just one from their delectable ‘Lines’ collection... Both looks are available now from good wallpaper suppliers. For a budget version, have one papered wall and paint the rest... and check out house clearance shops for period fifties furniture - at a fraction of the reproduction price!
• LOTS of giveaways • the chance to WIN one of five Dulux Trade MSA British Rally Championship packs, worth £30 each including a vehicle pass and two guest passes • SPECIAL DEALS available on Dulux Trade Paints all day!

If it’s new fencing you’re after then Reynolds will send an expert team to fit and assemble your fencing to ensure it’s secure and fits perfectly. Decking is also available, and can create a real impact in your garden if you’re looking to build a wonderful seating area.

to creating a garden haven. Next, ensure all your fencing is secure and panels don’t need replacing, plus make sure your sheds and greenhouses are still up to scratch. If you’ve got any paving, it’s a good idea to hire a jet spray and give it a good sprucing-up – the same goes for paved patio areas or driveways. Don’t forget to check your guttering.
