“

Visit my website for more information about this listing.

I have known Nutan for quite some time as we are both members of a horticultural society and we both love gardening.

In terms of real estate, I liked the list of services she offered and her approach was highly practical and knowledgeable.

She seems to be always on an even keel, even when the situation becomes hectic and sometimes it does...Moving is very disruptive in itself, but when you add downsizing, it’s even worse.

Also she was always willing to walk the extra mile, just to help you out very concretely. In the whole process, Nutan always had time to come and have a a chat whenever necessary.

Thank you so much Nutan, for your tremendous input and your wonderful smile. When things were plainly crazy, it was encouraging.

BATH WITH COLOUR Splish Splash your

ver recent years we’ve seen our bathrooms evolve into a space designed more for relaxation and luxury, not just functionality. It doesn’t matter if your bathroom is large or small, or prefer a charming rustic look or something more refined, if you desire a Zen-like oasis or a fun space for the kids, when looking to renovate a bathroom your design should bring together all that is the best of what you desire for your home. With all the beautiful finishes and fittings available to us today, it’s not difficult to envision a bath space that will deliver large on beauty, drama and aesthetics.

Colour is always a great element to introduce in to any space, so why should your bathroom be any different.

This is not just about adding colour to your room by way of your wall surfaces and accessories, but also with tile selections, fittings and even fixtures. If I’m scaring you into thinking harvest gold toilets have somehow been resurrected…relax, they haven’t! But what has been introduced from luxury British bathing brand, Victoria + Albert is a great selection of external colour tones meant to inspire and coordinate with your bathroom décor to create a style all your own.

Photo Credit: vandabaths.com

In addition to their original high-gloss white ENGLISHCAST® finish, the brand is now offering six distinctive new external finishes including: Gloss Black, Anthracite, Stone Grey, Light Grey, Matte Black and Matte White. Each finish is multi-layered using a special catalyzed paint, and hand polished between applications, resulting in an exceptional depth and lustre that is considerably more durable than hand painted surfaces. These classic shades of grey and warm dark tones are found not only on tubs, but basins and vanity furniture as well providing us with abundant creative inspiration to create wonderful, fun, unique and dramatic bathroom spaces.

The elegant statement made by a gloss black freestanding tub accompanied by a beautiful marble floor, stunning bathroom fittings, a bespoke custom vanity and a soft grey wall tone can be unchallenged. However, the appeal of a stone grey tub and basin blended with reclaimed wood for a fantastic vanity can create an edgier look to your relaxed rustic designs. Or perhaps your thoughts are more in-line with creating a fun bathroom for the kids, a matte black tub can be a wonderful starting point for an explosion of colour that will create an entertaining bath space customized just for the little ones in your family.

Whatever your personal style and direction for your bathroom renovation, we can undoubtedly agree that

injecting colour into your space by way of a tub or basin can definitely be rewarding.

A statement piece such as this can set you on your way to creating a dramatic bathroom of your dreams.

Remember: • When working with coloured fixtures, ensure you have a clear vision of the overall finished design look and it’s balanced.

• When in doubt, look to working with a professional to maximum the design space possibilities.

home décor very helpful at suggesting the right size and scale for your room. Decide if you are looking for a 3 seater sofa or a dining table. When you get back home. QUICK DESIGNER TIP: use measured-out painter’s tape or string to build a layout of how it will look in your home.

How to Select

FURNISHINGS It can be nerve wracking making design decisions. Especially when it comes to the major furnishings in your home. Here’s my cheat sheet to making the right selections and being happy with your decision.

Measure your space and start with the biggest pieces.

Make sure to measure your space first and if possible bring a floor plan with you when you are shopping. Also, measure it twice! Just incase you get it wrong! A photo of the room doesn’t suffice.

With a floorplan in hand Sales associates can be

Your needs are important.

You need to decide how you will be using this new piece of furniture. Do you want a few individual chairs for casual cocktails or a deep lounge sofa for movie nights. No designer or sales associate can tell you how to use your space. So give it some thought before you start shopping.

Go see the item in person whenever possible.

Online product photos are hard to judge. How a colour or fabric or wood tone look in an image may look completely different in person. If a swatch is an option I always recommend that you borrow or buy it to take home and see how that fabric or finish will look in your space. It’s a little extra time but well worth it. Any time I’ve made a snap decision and bought something without taking this extra step I have regretted it!

Style decisions can often be scary and confusing.

I suggest you take a look at your existing furniture and asses what you love and what you hate. Write down and see what similarities you find. Do you prefer neutrals and square lines? Or a more colourful funky look? Careful not to push yourself too far out of your comfort zone unless you are working with a designer like myself who can see the final vision. If you push yourself too far then you are more likely to regret your purchase.

Finally you need to trust your gut. Do you see yourself with this furniture piece in 10 years still?

If so, buy it!
