Do you have any home rituals or traditions?

We all have quirks and routines, and these never show clearer than when we're at home. I have a friend who never leaves his house without blessing a personal ornament hung on his door, as he says its good luck!

Do you have any traditions or routines in the home? We'd love to hear about them if you do, so leave us a comment!

I can't have a bath without a scented candle or incense burning!

We got some nice candles (electric ones) which would go well with the bathroom. Beautiful bathroom by the way!

Hi, If you use an iPad you could download the free Dulux Visualizer app to look at different colours - it's quick and easy (but lighting conditions have to be good) For a cost effective transformation I would have to agree with you and most of the comments by painting the Front door, garage doors and windows of the house. (Use a good primer/undercoat like Zinsser external - shellac or oil based) I would advise all matching colours for a uniform country home feel. The olive green or light green looks nice. For the driveway you could go resin bound which is available in a variety of colours now and lasts much longer than Tarmac with far greater osmosis. Again adding the private home country estate feel at a reasonable price. Rendering comes in various colours (although it is costly) if within your budget will totally transform the look and feel adding to the thermal insulation. And most definitely some easy care, low maintenance plants and planters... You don't have to spend mega bucks! Although probably a good time for discounted evergreens? Good luck Edward eDECO

I would recommend speaking to your building company. They may have systems for salvaging goods that can be reused and sold on, they may even negotiate price reductions with you in exchange for the goods.

I am moving into a flat with a large wall and looking to get some bespoke shelving which can hold books as well as TV and some cupboard space below. Would also like a small shelf that pulls out so that I can use my laptop. Anyone got any pictures of something like this? I know probably have to design it and get someone to build it. Live in Glasgow.

Champagne Sundays. Thoughts of returning to work on Monday seemed to put a damper on the last day of the weekend before we started this tradition. Now we celebrate Sunday every week.

we have a tradition of lighting a scented candle on an evening - it has come to signify the end of the working day and the beginning of the winding down to bed...
