PATTERNED wallpaper is ashortcut to creating a retroatmosphere in a room. Fromthe Fifties through to theSeventies, boldly colouredgraphic prints were in vogue.

Perhaps thesimplest way ofusing pattern,and a good wayof dipping yourtoe in thewater, is torestrictpatternedelements torelativelysmall scaleapplicationssuch ascushion coversand throws,lampshades orbath linen,"suggests Irishdesigner OrlaKiely, whosebook, Pattern,is full of ideasfor retro homes.

She draws inspirationfrom the 60s and 70s for hericonic designs for clothing

and homeware."A large patterned rug, a

sofa upholstered in a boldprint, or a wall papered in alarge-scale design are ways ofturning pattern into a strong

visualstatement," shesays. "If youwant to playwith colours,simply paintwalls so they're abackdrop tovintagestatementfurniturepieces."

Conjure theFifties feel withred, black, yellowor lime greenwalls, or opt forsofter shades ofpistachio green,pink and paleblues. TypicalSixties coloursincluded bright

red and purple, andrebellious clashing colourssuch as tangerine andfuchsia pink.

GUIDE ... to interiors

MyFirstHOME

NeilFitzmauriceWhere was the family home where yougrew up and what was it like?I grew up in Anfield in St Domingo Vale, it wasa big three storey house and it seemed thateveryone I hung out with lived in that street.There was a good sense of community, whichdoesn’t seem to be the case as much now.

What is your clearest memory of thehouse?We had a room on the top floor called theboys room. We got our first Betamax videoplayer in that room, I watched the Exorcist inthat room from behind a pillow and the worldpremiere of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video! Ahthe memories..it wasn’t all horror though!

Where was the first house you boughtyourself and what did it cost?The first house I bought is my current houseand it cost too bloody much! Seriously I feellike Tom Hanks in that movie The Money Pit!The moment something gets fixed somethingelse falls apart!

What made you want to buy it?It’s a lovely quiet area and we bought it to enjoyour children growing up in it! It has a lovely biggarden so they can practice their football skills.I reckon by the time they’re old enough to playfootball professionally they’ll be on about £3million a week so that’d be nice!

What are the important things you lookfor when buying a house?Money! It’s vital that you have a good lookaround for the best mortgage advice and thelowest possible rates and take your time. Themore rushed you are, the more likely you areto take the first property that comes along!

Are you a DIY trier or do you leave it tothe experts?NO! I believe DIY should stand for Don’tInvolve Yourself. I have a brother who can doeverything so he always gets the call – I thinkhe dreads my name coming up on his phone sohe’s started putting on a French accent andsimulating interference now!

What is the one thing you love mostabout your current home?The garden and the apple trees and the peaceand quiet. Buying a house is a huge sense ofachievement and knowing you’re looking afteryour family is a great feeling...even though youspend the rest of your life following themaround the house, switching off lights andclosing doors and pretending it’s all about theenvironment and not purely financial!

SUAVE advertising executives andgirls with hourglass figures aren'tthe only stars of TV's cult seriesMad Men – it's the early Sixtiessettings which are giving us interior

inspiration for today's spaces.The craze for retro wares has been around

for many years, but it's been given a hugeboost by the Mad Men series, says antiquesand collectables expert Judith Miller.

"I'm not surprised, because bland has hadits day in decor and there's a sexiness aboutthis look. Unfussy, curved lines and a playfuluse of colour and pattern are ideal ways tobring character and personality to rooms."

Judith, whose new book, CostumeJewellery (Miller's, £25) features eye-candypieces from the Fifties and Sixties, says:"Both decades were such creative, fun erasbecause it was post-war and people were

craving fresh new styles and were willing toexperiment.

"It was the ideal time for creative designersto be able to emerge and there came a wealthof appealing British and Scandinavian pieceswhose dimensions and style are perfectlysuited today's homes."

Whether you want to flirt with the Fiftiesor swing back to the Sixties (don't worry ifyou don't remember the latter, as that's a suresign you really enjoyed them!), retro looksare the way forward.

Take a look (Martini in hand, of course) atreviving retro in your rooms... and then theonly missing ingredient will be handsomeladies' man Don Draper.

"There's increasing confidence

SLIM legs and elegant curves– also displayed by Mad Menstar Christina Hendricks,who plays Joan Holloway –are coincidentally strikingfeatures shared by Fifties andearly Sixties furniture.

Fancy trim andornamentation were out ofstyle after World War Twoand contemporary was cool,with most mass-producedpieces looking spare ratherthan over-stuffed. The Sixtiessaw the emergence of evenmore streamlining, with futuristicpieces and transparent blow-upfurniture.

"People are looking to styles of thepast for interior inspiration," says

about combining vintage withcontemporary to create amodern look that is very 21stcentury, rather than simply anexercise in nostalgia.

"In my opinion, good designand style will always returnand a tough climate could wellbe the catalyst for that return,when people find comfort inthe familiar, and look back toperceived better times."

You can turn retro detectiveand seek out original design

pieces at auctions and antiquesfairs which, depending on theircondition, may be a wise investment.

But if you can't wait to join theretro revival, there's no shortage ofvintage copycats on the high street.

● REPLACING your worktopcan be a relatively quick andinexpensive way to give yourkitchen a new look. However, youshouldn’t attempt to fit ityourself unless you’re anexperienced DIYer. This isparticularly relevant forbeginners as it could end upruined without an experiencedeye watching over the work.● If you’re removing an oldworktop and want the new one tobe the same size and shape,simply measure the old one toget accurate measurements. Ifthe new worktop will be adifferent size or shape, it’s vitalto get the measurements right.Remember to leave an overhangabove the front of the kitchenunits of around 10-20mm and atthe sides of the end units ofaround 25mm (unless you’reputting an appliance or piece offurniture there), allowing forany side panels.● To cut your worktop straightwithout damaging the surface,use a ruler and mark yourcutting line in pencil, then coverthe line with masking tape – youshould be able to see it throughthe tape. Clamp a steel ruleralong the line and use a craftknife to score a groove down it.Cut along the groove with ajigsaw, circular saw or panel saw– depending on the type andthickness of the worktop.● To fix the worktop to thekitchen units, get someone toapply pressure from above whileyou attach the worktopunderneath with fixing bracketsand screws. Both the back andfront edge of the worktop shouldbe fixed securely.● The ends of wooden worktopsshould be planed or sandedsmooth and protected with asuitable wood oil.Laminate worktops will havematching finishing strips –either supplied or available tobuy separately.Cut the strips to the correctlength and apply glue to both thestrip and the edge of theworktop, then fix in place andleave to dry.Visit the DIY Advice Centre atwww.homebase.co.uk

IN THE current economic climate, savingmoney by upping your standards andmoving home sounds like wishfulthinking.

It is increasingly difficult to comeacross well-planned, well-refurbishedproperties to buy or rent.

But Priory Estates has recently added anew property to its books which hasbenefited from feng shui and a full ecoreburbishment which they says will savehundreds of pounds each year.

The property, in Dewsbury Road, Walton,Liverpool, has undergone a real back to brickrefurbishment to the highest specification,with the interior designed under theprinciples of the Chue style of Feng Shui.

Feng Shui is the practice of influencingthe interaction of energy naturally presentin your home with your own energy,creating harmony, prosperity andenhancing the quality of life.

After assessing the property usingtraditional Feng Shui methods, the energyin each room of the house was looked at,using colour and layout to balance eacharea. The ground floor had an entrancehall and there was a partition betweenthe front and rear room.

Opening this up has improvedthe energy flow, according toFen Shui rules.

Feng Shui has beenincorporated into thekitchen design, inparticular the position ofthe cooker and sink.

Upstairs the bathroomwas moved to the centre ofthe property, as the centreneeds cooling anddraining. To achieve this,the staircase was moved,improving the Feng Shuiof the whole house.

This also createdadditional space for athird bedroom.

Sarah Higbid, whodesigned the interior of theproperty and is also theproperty owner, is a fullyqualified Feng Shuipractitioner with 10 years’experience and her lineage

from the Grand MasterChan Kun Wah.

She says: “I wanted todo the very best

refurbishment as Ifelt it would be inthe best interestsfor the long termand would attractthe best price forideal rent or sale.”

Robert Tiffin, aquantitysurveyor andexpert in damprelated defects indomesticbuildings and ecowarrior, carriedout the ecorefurbishment.

Theimprovements inthe specificationranged from400mm of loft

insulation, insulated external walls, a newup-to-date condensing boiler and tadpoletank, Quattro panel radiator reflectors andheat recovery ventilation to the bathroom.

This achieved new U values producing amassive saving of £579 a year on the gas bill.

Nicholas Leigh, ofHomes In Harmony, whoprovides sustainableconsultancy to thedomestic market, andbuilder Chris Moores,both worked closely withRobert to achieve theenergy savings.

Priory Estates, whichmanaging the property, isbased in Priory Road inL4.

Sheila Renshaw, incharge of lettings andbased in their main office,

says: “It has been very hard to encouragelandlords / property owners to spend thatextra amount when refurbishing, for both thesale and buy to let markets, but with theseimpressive savings it’s a win/win in thesedifficult times for both the tenant and

property owner.“The overall effect of this

recent refurbishment isfantastic, it is the very best. Thesoft colour tones are perfect andfinish is a very high standard.”

Priory Estates is marketingthe property to rent at £600 amonth, although the vendorwould consider a sale in theregion of £85,000 to £90,000, oreven rent to buy for a youngcouple looking to get their footon the property ladder.◆ To find out more about theproject, email Robert Tiffin [email protected], or SarahHigbid on [email protected], or ring Priory on0151 260 0300.

Rents all set to rise as demandgoes upFOUR out of 10 tenants expect thecost of renting a home to keeprising in the coming year asproperty supply fails to keep upwith demand, a survey showed.

Around 42% of people living inlet accommodation are bracingthemselves for further rent hikes,with 11% expecting increases of10% or more, according toRightmove.co.uk.

People’s expectations of furtherrises come despite the fact thatrecent research by LSL PropertyServices showed that the cost ofrenting a home has already hit arecord high, while Rightmovesaid some agents had reportedhikes of 10% during the past year.

Anecdotal evidence suggeststhere have also been cases of rent

gazumping in some areas, aswould-be tenants battle with eachother to secure a place to live.

Demand for rentals hasincreased in recent months aspotential buyers have put plans tomove on hold due to the problemsin the mortgage market, or untilthe outlook for house pricesbecomes clearer.

But landlords have been unableto respond to the rise in demandbecause they are also strugglingto raise the finance they need tobuy more properties.

Overall, the group said thenumber of properties available torent which were advertised on itswebsite had fallen by 23% duringthe past year.

Miles Shipside, director of

Rightmove, said: “For the secondconsecutive quarter, more than40% of renters are revealing theirfears of another upwardsmovement in rents.

“They are at the sharp end ofcompetitive demand from otherrenters, experiencing a struggleto find suitable rentalaccommodation and losing out onproperties to higher bidders.

“Rental agents are reportingturning many prospectivetenants away, with only thosewith the best references passingthe beauty parade to get to viewthe limited new stock on offer.”

Rising rents are bad news forthe 55% of people trapped inrental accommodation becausethey could not afford to buy.

But the figure is down from61% at the beginning of the year,suggesting recent house pricefalls may be enabling more peopleto get on to the property ladder.

Nearly a third of renters alsosaid they were likely to stay inrented accommodation for atleast the next three years.

However, 13% of people saidthey were happy renting theirhome and had no interest inbuying a property.◆ Rightmove questioned 2,636people during October.

BANKS and buildingsocieties must not be allowedto return to the irresponsiblelending practices of the pastthat caused misery forthousands of homeowners,two charities argue.

Citizens Advice andShelter said they supportedthe Financial ServicesAuthority’s proposals tointroduce tough income andaffordability checks onmortgage borrowers.

The planned rules havecaused controversy, with theCouncil of Mortgage Lenderswarning that the regimewould have an impact on 45%

of people who took out amortgage this year.

But in a letter to housingminister Grant Shapps, thetwo charities said failing tostamp out reckless lendingpermanently would be a“missed opportunity” and apotentially “costly mistake”.

The groups added that itwas vital the government didnot allow a return to thesoft-touch regulation of thepast, which devastated thehousing market and putthousands of homeowners onthe brink of homelessness.

Gillian Guy, chief executiveof Citizens Advice, said:

“Bureaux saw 115,000problems last year relating tomortgage and secured loanarrears and see countlessongoing problems resultingfrom vulnerable borrowersgiven mortgages they couldnever have afforded to payfrom the outset or once thediscounted periods ended.

“These proposals are aboutthe FSA ensuring thatmortgage lenders andborrowers take proper careto consider whether amortgage is affordable andsustainable.”

The group said among thecases of irresponsible

lending it had come acrosswas a man from Somersetwho was facing having hishome repossessed.

He had taken out amortgage a year earlier, buthis monthly repaymentswere £981, despite the factthat he and his wife had anincome of just £987 a month.

Kay Boycott, director ofcampaigns, policy andcommunications at Shelter,said: “From our research weknow that millions of peopleare already struggling withtheir mortgage payments andthat every two minutessomeone faces the prospect of

losing their home.”Meanwhile, the Building

Societies Association calledfor the government andhousing industry to look atnew ways of keeping peoplein their homes when they fellbehind with their mortgage.

A report, which wascommissioned by the BSAand carried out by formerchairman of the FSA JohnHoward, suggested thatongoing lender forbearance,and a more substantialMortgage Rescue Scheme,under which people sell someor all of their home to asocial landlord and rent it

back again, could help tokeep people in their homes.

It also suggested that anew form of housing tenurecould be introduced to helppeople switch from homeownership to renting theirproperty and back again,while compulsory insuranceshould also be considered.

Paul Broadhead, head ofmortgage policy at the BSA,said: “We believe that now isthe time to carry out aholistic review of the safetynets available to protectborrowers in difficulties,from both a public andprivate perspective.”

3IMPROVE drainage onheavy, wet soil byadding a generousamount of gravel orsharp grit.

HOUSEHOLDERS are going tohave to dig deep in theirpockets if they want aNordmann fir non-dropChristmas tree this year,

according to industry experts.While it is the most popular tree because

of its deep green colour and reliability thatit won’t drop its needles, in the past fiveyears prices of the Christmas tree haverisen by up to 30% and a 6ft tree may costaround £45, according to the BritishChristmas Tree Growers Association.

But our beloved Nordmann is not theonly tree which will last through thefestive season. The Fraser fir (Abiesfraseri), popular in the eastern UnitedStates, is narrower than other trees andtherefore more suitable for smaller rooms.

If you want to save money, go for ahome-grown Scots pine or Lodgepole pine,which are likely to cost around £10 lessthan the same size of Nordmann fir. Thesetrees don’t drop their needles and arebushier than the Nordmann. Some havecones and are wonderfully fragrant.

Before buying your tree, measure thespace you are allocating it.The lesstrimming you have to do the better the treewill keep its shape.

When deciding on a tree, check that theneedles are not dull and dried up and thatthe branches are not brittle. Remember togently shake the tree to ensure the outerneedles are not falling off.

If you can bear to, leave it ’til the lastminute to buy a tree, especially if youchoose something such as a Blue spruce(Picea pungens ’Glauca’), which will dropits needles quicker than other types.

Saw off the bottom 5cm of trunk to openup its pores before you bring the treeinside, and place it in a bucket of wateruntil you are ready to house it.

When you bring it in, make sure you cankeep it topped up with water as a tree willdrink half a litre a day.

Don’t put the tree next to a radiator orfire because it will dry out and the needlesare more likely to drop.

Some people opt for bare-rooted orroot-balled trees if they want to keep thetree for future years. Bare-rooted treesshould be planted as soon as possible inmoist earth to stop their roots from dryingout, while root-balled trees are wrapped insacking and should be planted incontainers.

There are pros and cons to each, but bearin mind that live trees with roots may nottake kindly to being brought indoors into awarm, dry atmosphere. However, trees thathave been cut off at ground level,sharpened to stick into a wooden base andthen transported around the country needto be tough to survive and look good.

If you buy a bare-rooted tree, soak theroots in water before planting. Keep thecompost in container-grown trees moist toprevent the needles from dropping.

Hopefully, your tree will still be lookingas festive as ever as you see in 2011.

As the festive season begins,Hannah Stephensonchecks out the best varietiesof Christmas tree to suit yourbudget and offers tips onensuring they remain at theirbest until the New Year

Whattodothisweek● Plant bare-root andcontainer-grown rosesand transplant anyestablished roses youwant to re-site.

● Prune autumn-floweringshrubs over three years oldas they finish flowering.

● Drain surface pumpsin the pond and havethem serviced ifnecessary.

Otherwise clean, dryand grease before storing.

● Keep pot-grown camellias,grown under glass, in thecool. Make sure there isenough ventilation on dayswhen the sun shines, orfluctuating temperatures maycause buds to drop.

● If you intend to forcerhubarb, lift crowns nowand expose them to frostfor several weeks beforebringing them into theglasshouse or shed.

● If it’s not too frosty, liftand divide large clumps ofpolyanthus then replant themaround the garden.

● Take cuttings of winterjasmine, Jasminum

nudiflorum, and insertthem into a cold frame.● Check lettuces growing inframes or under cloches.Ventilate on mild days andwater carefully, removingslugs as you go.● Take root cuttingsfrom oriental poppies,acanthus, verbascum andPrimula denticulata.

● Prepare celery trenches,

digging in plenty of organicmatter.

● Order seeds andplants on mail order.

● Continue to lift and storeswede and turnip for winter.

● Create an inexpensivehedge by takinghardwood cuttings andinserting them directlyinto the growing site.

MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE: Picking aChristmas tree is a serious business


tree fir you!

Bestof thebunchWitchhazelTHE SCENTED, spidery blooms andspectacular autumn colour make thesemedium-sized and large deciduous shrubs amust for the winter gardens.

The flowers, which have twisting,ribbon-like petals, cluster thickly on barestems from autumn to early spring and won’tbe damaged by frost, while the broad, ovalleaves turn yellow in autumn.

Witch hazels can be grown as specimenplants in borders or in groups, depending onthe variety.

Grow H. x intermedia ’Pallida’ as astand-alone specimen, with its vase-shapedhabit and golden autumn leaves, while H. xintermedia ’Diane’, which grows to 4m(12ft), flowers in mid to late winter andproduces bright green leaves which turnorange, yellow or red in autumn.

Witch hazels like reasonably fertile, moistbut well-drained soil and prefer neutral toacid soil. Place them in sun or partial shadein an open but not exposed spot.

Prune any crossing shoots in late winteror early spring to keep a good shape.

Goodenoughtoeat:SproutingseedsTHE VEG patch may bestarting to look bare, so growsome sprouting seeds indoors,which will require very littlework and instant gratification.

There’s no mess with soil orcompost – all you need is a jarand an airing cupboard to

grow Chinese bean sprouts,also known as mung beans,which may not be as long asthe ones you buy insupermarkets, but they’ll bejust as tasty.

Soak a handful of seedsovernight, rinse them in

water and put them in a largeglass jar, covered with a circleof muslin or white cottoninstead of a lid and thentransfer it to a warm, darkplace, rinsing the beans twicea day.

After around four days,

they’ll be ready to eat.Other sprouting seeds

which are easy to growinclude fenugreek and Alfafa,but make sure you buy seedssold only for sprouting, notvegetable seeds which areintended for growing.

Double conversion hitstwinpeaksof luxury

● ST PAUL’SSquare is still

celebrating asuccessful 2010 withyet more sales in thelast quarter of theyear.

The development,in Liverpool’sbusiness district, hascontinued to enjoyinterest fromhomebuyers withincreased sales andviewings, despite thequieter autumnmarket.

St Paul’s Squarehas recentlyintroduced a numberof incentive schemesto offer a helpinghand to homebuyersstruggling to get onthe property ladder.

Buyers can get a 5%gifted deposit paid onselected apartments,which helps to reducethe amount of capitalrequired to purchase aproperty, helpinghomebuyers with up toa maximum of £8,300towards their deposit.

St Paul’s Square wasalso the only citycentre residentialdevelopment to run thegovernment’sHomebuy Directscheme, which ranuntil September.

David Caught, Salesand MarketingDirector at MuseDevelopments, says:“We’ve had a verysuccessful run at StPaul’s Square. We haveintroduced a numberof incentive schemesand these continue tobe successful inattracting buyers whoare struggling to get onthe property ladder.”

One-bedroomapartments at St Paul’sSquare start at £99,950and two-bedrooms at£149,950. For inquiriesor to arrange aviewing, ring KingSturge on 0151 242 6490or go online at www.theperfectsquare.co.uk

IF something is worth doing,it’s worth doing properly.

So, while it might havetaken 14 months to convertthis barn in Cronton, near

Widnes – a long time indevelopers’ terms when theemphasis is all too often on aspeedy turnaround – it hasdefinitely been time well spent.

The result is not one, but two,luxury homes which, put simply,will take your breath away.

Both have five bedrooms.One is on the market for

£450,000, the second for £475,000.What makes these absolute

gems is that the developers havebeen keen to retain as many ofthe original features of theproperty as they could, includingthe timberwork, trusses andporthole windows which oozecharacter and charm.

And both have been finished toan exceptional standard.

The £450,000 property has ahigh spec kitchen, familybathroom, three ensuites, adouble garage and gorgeousgardens.

But it really is the highceilings and exposed timbers, theslate roof and sandstone exteriorthat make it so desirable.

There is plenty of space,including a reception area, openplan kitchen, cloakroom and wc,utility, large family room andlounge.

The second property’s featureecho many of the first: thesandstone build, high speckitchen, five double bedrooms –three with ensuite – and afurther family bathroom.

The interior is similar withthe reception area/open plankitchen, cloakroom and wc,utility, family room and loungetoo.

The kitchens and bathroomshave handle-less doors for a sleekand sophisticated finish, theappliances in the kitchen are byAEG and the worktops aregranite.

All the bathrooms are byKohler and Laufen.

They’re both huge, in theregion of 3500 sq ft, which ispretty big for the cost.◆ The homes are being soldthrough through HomeSales sofor more details, contact them on0151 280 4047 or go towww.homesalesliverpool.co.uk
