When do you usually to buy your firewood? You may be surprised to know that many homeowners in the UK store large amounts of green firewood and keep it for a year before using it. This gives it time to dry out, but it’s also much cheaper this way, so long as you keep an organised supply. Read more…
When scenting your home, or even just a single room, the key word is balance. You want the space to smell strong enough so you can make out that there is a scent, but not so strong as to be overwhelming on the senses. Even a scent that smells lovely becomes not at all lovely if the home is pungent with it.
The best way to get the scent right is to simply try out different things. Don’t be afraid to buy lots of different scents just to see how they work out.
Candles are a great way to scent a home. If you decide to use them be sure to burn them for up to six hours. This will give them enough time to release the tight amount of scent into the living spaces. If you use floral fragrances, blending them with citrus and woody notes, such as Lumira’s Persian Rose and Cuban Tobacco candles can give a nice effect.

Spring Home Design Trends
Be sure to be up to date this spring with these latest design trends. We cover the kitchen as well as furniture designs, so you can be in the know about just how to make your home interior that little bit special.
Black Steel
Popular appliance colours change each year, while polished stainless steel is fading out, darker, black stainless steel is replacing it. Giving kitchens that modern edgy feel. Add marble accents to the design for that look of extra luxury.
Floral Furniture
Not so traditional anymore, floral furniture is sweeping many design shows. Sofas, chairs and even curtains are some of the effected pieces, each of which bloom with springtime passion.
Mismatching Cabinets
Even including black steel, mismatching cabinet colours are a big trend this spring. While there’s nothing wrong with single block tones, its the mixture of them, placed sporadically around that creates the designer look.
