Time to make the most of space

Tips from working inside to sorting out your garden

-

Most of us have unfinished business in our homes and gardens and as the aftermath of Storms Ciara and Dennis leave us taking a look at all those jobs we never managed to get round to.

Whether it’s freshening up the spare room with a coat of paint, or re- decorating the kids’ rooms, at this time of year we are often energised and ready to get our house in order in time to sit back and enjoy our summer if it ever arrives.

It may not even be a big project, but even changing a feature wall, and using accessorie­s to make any room come alive, is easy and won’t cost the earth.

The good news too, is if you are looking at bigger developmen­ts in your home, there are many trusted companies that can offer you startling changes and designs that will make every day in your home seem like paradise.

If you are planning to have new floors or an extension added on to your home it is best to seek the help of a profession­al in that field.

Seeking advice from profession­al tradesmen should help save time, money and stress when you’re preparing to get building work, renovation­s or repairs done on your home.

The Garden

Then take a look out into the garden and think about ways to prepare it for the summer months ahead.

Now is the time to prepare for plants to bloom in summer and as March draws closer and your first cutting of the grass draws nearer, now is the best time to plan ahead.

You may want to consider new garden furniture to make sure you can entertain in style during barbecue season.

Or you may want to turn to the profession­als like The Cobble Shop in Stewarton which specliases in landscapin­g.

It’s worth a visit alone to their showroom to see their impressive display which boasts oasts stones from Scotland, England as well as stones from places like Spain, Portugal, Turkey and even as far away as Japan.

And garden themes range from traditiona­l to contempora­ry, mediterran­ean, garden party, barbecue spaces as well as decks, artificial grass, block paving and many different types of patio slabs and stone features.

So why not really throw yourself into home and garden improvemen­ts in time for what looks set to be a hot summer in Ayrshire.
