AT HOME, OUTDOORS Nature is a popular interior decorating theme, and the term "bringing the outside in" is often used to describe using natural features like plants and rocks inside—but what about "bringing the inside out"? Here are fifteen tips to creating your perfect outdoor retreat.

Include a Variety of Seating Options Benches, chairs, even pint-size stools: As many choices as you can include in an outdoor living space will help family and friends enjoy it. Scaled-down kid versions allow little ones to seat themselves, while chairs are a more flexible option - pull two together for a quiet chat or add extras around the table for a big dinner. One tip: Don't include so many that traffic patterns become cluttered.

Create a Focal Point

Establish Traffic Patterns No matter the size of your garden, your outdoor living spaces will work better together if you establish traffic patterns.

You can do this in a variety of ways, including laying formal walkways, creating shifts in hardscape materials, or planting shrubs or trees to establish corners and borders.

Add a Fire Source If you have a fireplace inside your house, you know it's where you love to curl up with a good book on a quiet night or where larger groups gather on chilly days. The same is true for outdoor living spaces: a source of fire draws people. If you have the space and budget, consider a full-size version; if not, investigate fire pits, which provide flexibility and affordability. Just check your local building

6

Well-designed indoor rooms typically build off one element - a sofa or piece of art, for example - which gives the eye something to land on; the rest of the furnishings and accents support that piece. That same principle applies to outdoor living spaces. An extensive pond can become the central gathering point, providing a spot to arrange furniture and orient views.

Boost Visual Appeal Small accents, such as sculpture or water features, can do wonders to make outdoor living spaces feel dynamic and interesting. Scour flea markets or architectural salvage shops for castoffs that lend visual appeal without being too expensive. In place of a built-in fountain consider a tabletop version; use a tall column as a plant stand, too.

Add Accents to Walls When used as borders for outdoor living spaces, walls can quickly get boring. Wall containers, planted with trailing vines and blooms, or outdoor-suitable art, such as tin ceiling tiles or salvage outdoor signage letters found at flea markets, are good ways to dress up large stretches of siding or stone.

The first festival was held in 2007 and was launched with a poem called Gwanwyn which was specifically written by the then National Poet for Wales, Gwyn Thomas.

Since then the festival has featured so many different genres of the arts – from painting, singing and creative writing to dance performance, stand up comedy, tattoo exhibitions and much more. All of which prove that age is just a number and that’s exactly what the festival is all about; challenging stereotypes, dispelling preconceived

We all need our own space, somewhere to relax and enjoy our home comforts. Husband and wife team Dean & Leanne Edmonds deliver exactly that.

“We are both passionate about creating beautiful living spaces, and each build is completely bespoke, tailor made to our clients specification.“ explains Leanne Vale Orangeries have completed over fifty orangery builds throughout South Wales with many showhomes available for private viewings.

“We have a wide range of styles available to view at our client’s homes. This is a unique opportunity to talk to our customers about their experience and see for yourselves the quality of our work.”

Dean explains, “Having a living space built to your specification is a dream for many, and a reality for our clients. There is no need to concern yourself with architects, planning or building control as this is all part of the package. The only planning we want you to worry about is where to put your sofa! – but we can even help with that too!”

WHAT’S ON

NOZSTOCK - THE HIDDEN VALLEY Entering its 17th year this summer on Friday 24th – Sunday 26th July 2015, Nozstock is a family-run and home-made festival on a beautiful working farm set in the truly stunning heart of the Herefordshire countryside.

The father and daughter combination of Noz and Ella have curated one of the country’s most charming and beguiling festivals, surrounded by verdant rolling hills and imbued with a true sensation of escapism.

I

The festival is also very proud to announce true Motown sensation Martha Reeves and the Vandellas as one of the headliners on the Orchard Stage. They have charted over 26 hits, ten Billboard R&B singles chart Top Ten hits and two Number Ones, and their classic ‘Dancing in the Street’ entered the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. True veterans of soul, they headline a bill that focuses on top talent across multiple genres.

Also playing across the weekend are: Beardyman, Hollie

flourished into an intimate musical odyssey joining the dots between pop, ska, folk, funk, soul, indie, drum and bass, psytrance, house and a whole lot more. Nozstock is a playground for everyone. Inspirational and intimate, it offers a broad spectrum of live music, DJs, arts, comedy, poetry, workshops, cinema and performance in a sublime setting, flowing from family-friendly by day to party by night over various customised venues across the farm. The theme for 2015 is the sci-fi inspired Nozstocker’s Guide to The Galaxy, and the iconic festival has just announced its first wave of live and DJ artists, with many more to be revealed soon.

Nozstock is thrilled to reveal a very special headliner for

Deekline, Dillinja, Ed Rush and Optical and many more.

The Hidden Valley has nine stages, many nooks and crannies and is set around a ramshackle Tudor farmhouse.

The Orchard Stage is set at the foot of a natural arena on the side of the gently sloping valley. Alongside the farmhouse is The Garden Stage, which provides a more eclectic lineup, turning electronic by sundown, whilst a converted cowshed, The Cubicles, pushes out sub-thumping bass and dubstep through to the early hours. The Dingle hosts much of Nozstock’s alternative art activities; a round-the-clock theatre, a cinema screening short films and a dedicated kids area for children of all ages.
