Go bespoke See your home in a different light with ERW’s bespoke windows and doors... Windows and doors aren’t really the kinds of products you expect to see when flicking through the pages of a luxury interiors magazine. Wallpaper, paint, furniture, carpets - these are the things we typically consider most when it comes to home makeovers. And yet, more and more people are looking for stylish windows and doors to give their home the wow-factor. Why? Because nothing transforms the look of a room like the natural light from a large glazed or leaded colour window. And what wall art can compare with the view of the outdoors provided by bi-folds? Rooms feel different when new windows and doors are added, then you can design around them, depending where they are in the home and how they look. If you’re wanting to brighten up a dull, dark space, a large, wellpositioned window can work wonders. If you want to extend a living space, adding patio doors can bring the outside in. And if you want to change the flow of the room and make better use of its design, internal-folding, sliding doors are your friend. At ERW, we’ve been specialising in hand-crafted timber windows and doors for nearly 40 years. Our bespoke, pre-decorated timber frames, available in over 150 colour choices, suit the decor and personality of any home.

Aesthetics are matched in performance every step of the way, too, with high-end glazing, multi-point locks and draught sealing systems that deliver outstanding security and energy efficiency.

How to... make your bedroom Geo Cushion £28

cosy this season Now that autumn/winter is fast approaching, it’s time to pack away the summer duvet and ready your sleep space for chillier nights

Mineo Swivel Chair, £749

The guys at Barker and Stonehouse know a thing or two about bridging the gap between cosy and chic, so if you’re unsure of how to makeover your boudoir for the colder months, why not follow their top tips. Time to take shelter and hunker down!

COMFORT When autumn arrives, we all feel the need to hibernate. Make sure you get the best night’s sleep possible with a spacious and comfy bed. A king size frame, or larger, will ensure you have enough space to stretch out and relax at night. For extra comfort, a velvet bed frame adds sumptuous softness. extra warmth. Complete the look with chunky throws, plump cushions and a luxurious rug.

COLOUR Fend off the cold weather in style with a blanket of warming hues. From your walls to your textiles, loading up on jewel tones like sapphire, emerald and ruby will give a sense of cocooning comfort. Not sold on bold? Darker shades help to inspire an intimate atmosphere that you’ll long to escape to on drab days, while timeless neutrals like beige and taupe are undeniably calming.

SCENT Don’t ignore your nose. As well as creating a flickering glow that makes you want to cuddle up under the covers, candles can set the scene with their scent. Try woody options like fir, amber and cedar, or those with spicy, festive aromas of cinnamon, gingerbread or fig. Perfect for winter. barkerandstonehouse.co.uk

LIGHTING Avoid the harsh glare of an overpowering ceiling light. Instead, opt for multiple sources spread around the room to create a custom ambience that suits your mood. If your fixtures aren’t dimmable, task lighting in the form of floor and table lamps allows you more control over luminosity. Just be sure to fit warm white bulbs for a soft glow.

How to... overhaul your

Qooker Boiling Water Tap

kitchen this season More and more people are making the kitchen the heart of their home. A space which enables us to socialise, cook and relax with family and friends - often at the same time - is on many homeowners’ wish lists

Integrated Hob Extractor

With a little help from Greatlook, it’s easy to achieve. Check out their top tips - and must-have products - to help make your kitchen cool this autumn/winter…

ISLAND FEVER Whether an independent or a peninsula, adding an island to your kitchen creates an inviting living space in an otherwise functional, working room. Somewhere to congregate, kick-back and catch up with loved ones, but also a place to store kitchen essentials, or even do some food prep.

DINE RIGHT Integrating a clever dining function as an extension to your island allows you to free up space elsewhere in the kitchen - which means more room to lounge about! That said, if you have a soft spot for dining tables, Greatlook can create a bespoke table just for you, made from quality materials to match your kitchen furniture, sideboards and decor.

SAY YES TO STORAGE Clever storage is an essential factor for most homeowners especially in the kitchen. Being able to tidy away the practical elements of a kitchen, including cumbersome appliances, frees up space and creates that decluttered, ‘minimalistic’ look. Greatlook Design Studio is not restricted to standard industry sizes. With a workshop on site, they can accommodate tailored requirements INTERIORS ESSENTIALS SEP/OCT 19

RAW AND REFINED The beautiful juxtaposition of modern finishes and natural materials creates an interesting and inviting setting. Mixing organic and modern can be achieved by pairing immaculate matt units with chunky wooden worktops, or by introducing vintage/industrial accent furniture to a glossy kitchen. Perfect for autumn/winter.

WARM IT UP For the past decade, grey has been a hot colour for just about every room in the home - and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere! However, as we head into the colder months, there is increased demand for warmer, toastier colours. This season, embrace a darker colour palette with a greater emphasis on black, contrasted by rich coffee browns, cashmere taupe and stoney greys. greatlook.co.uk

If you fancy sprucing yours up for autumn/winter, the stylish folk at Delcor are here to help. Take note of their top tips and get snug!

COMFORT Add texture, colour and layers with knitted blankets and throws. Oversized chunky knits will keep you toasty and they can be easily changed to suit the season and your decor. Layering is good, too, so invest in several, all differing in materials and colours so they complement each other. If your sofa is patterned, then go for single colours.

COLOUR Forget grey and white this winter; it’s all about the colour. Add a touch of opulence and create a bold palette with rich, deep tones for the new season. Blues, forest green and brick red work well, either on their own or grouped together. Top prints for AW19 include florals, tropical and lavish thematic scenes. Opt for wallpaper, or be brave and invest in a statement sofa, chair or footstool.

LIGHTING Set the mood with dimmable lights and lamps - both of which create soft, cosy lighting. Brass, bronze and glass lamps, tables and mirrors cleverly bounce the light around a room, making it twinkle on a winter’s night and creating the feeling of warmth. Make your mirror a focal point in your living room and go as large as the room can take, being creative with placing. Large, floor-standing mirrors are set to be popular in living rooms come the new season.

TEXTURE Aside from the bedroom, the living room should be the most comfortable room in your home - especially during the chillier months. Soft velvets and warm merino wool provide a luxurious touch to upholstered pieces and soft furnishings. Delicately-soft nubuck leather is one of our go-to textures. Warm things up with fluffy cushions and patterned throws to create an inviting, seasonal look. delcor.co.uk
