What are your thoughts on Marsala - 2015's Colour of the Year?
Comments (26)I quite like its warmth and would go well in small furnishing touches in our new house moving to in Spring - it is fairly modernist, but has exposed brickwork and wood cladding, a slightly industrial feel. I like wine shades generally and wear them a lot. However, it could look a bit fusty in an older building, slightly faded and 80s chinzty even? I would definately be worried about it on walls, unless I wanted that feeling...See MorePOLL: What type of flooring do you have in your living room?
Comments (71)I agree! As it is not always feasible to install real timber or stone, Karndean is the best vinyl option. I am going to have 36sqm of it installed in my own place. I have direct contacts with the manufacturers here in the UK. If anyone is interested, please inbox me and will get you in touch....See MoreWhat will be the colour trend of 2016?
Comments (23)There's a big difference between the colour we are told is 'the colour of the year' and the shades that people will ACTUALLY use. I work in retail, I restore, upcycle, whatever you like to call it, furniture and also sell vintage and new accessories and I gave up paying any attention to these announcements long ago. I once got incredibly excited (after years of painting everything white or cream) to see that a lovely vintage green was going to be the next big thing, I enthusiastically painted a 30's sideboard in a similar shade - it looked very Cath Kidson, everyone said how lovely it was - and it sat and it sat and it sat. So guess what? I repainted it white and it sold. And people wonder why I embraced grey and greige with such enthusiasm when they got popular, they seemed exotic in comparison :D...See MorePOLL: Is this the year for smart technology?
Comments (16)I'm building a new house and I've specified some Smart Home technologies - mostly for the lighting and blinds, which together can help give that lived-in look when nobody is home. I chose industry-standard technologies (DALI and KNX) so that nothing is tied to one manufacturer (who could go out of business or decide to stop making / supporting something) and there's no single central 'brain' which would cause chaos if it fails. I agree completely on the 'open technology' point - it's nice to have an app on your phone but it's not nice to have 10 separate apps because you bought things from 10 different companies, so you want everything controllable from one place and you want the labour-saving automation of one system talking directly to another (e.g. "I've just set the intruder alarm, so nobody's home, so turn down the ventilation system"). I'd also say it's worth making a judgment on where technology is changing most and not to invest a lot in something that's likely to become out of date quickly. For example, you can pay a lot of money for fancy KNX light switches but a cheap tablet will be more flexible, and voice control with Siri and Alexa is close to being mainstream....See MoreJenny
