(CALMING THE BATHTIME CHAOS)
U
Kick your busiest bathroom into touch with our guide to creating the perfect kid-cleaning venue that’s easy to hose down afterwards… thermostatically controlled shower to prevent scalding. Also, opt for thermostatic bath fillers and basin taps with temperature regulators that prevent them from operating at dangerous levels. Accidents do happen. On a lighter note, in time your children get old enough to maintain their own personal hygiene. Possibly not up to your standards, but at least you won’t be dealing with ‘there’s soap in my eyeeees’ any more. Many teens prefer a shower, so if you’re dusting the tub more often than scrubbing tidemarks, it might be time to swap it out. Don’t go for a fancy raincloud-style showerhead, though, unless you enjoy watching your water meter/finances spinning out of control. Seek out a water-saving showerhead that injects air into the spray to boost pressure using less water (look at Hansgrohe’s AirPower technology). Also, invest in a shower timer and dock their allowance/screen time for every minute it’s ignored. Finally, make it pretty. Buy towels you like, since it’ll be you picking up/cleaning them, and let your plant addiction go wild – orchids, aloes and ferns all thrive in high humidity.
sually the biggest bathroom in the house, if only by a few inches, the family bathroom can make or break the morning rush and/or bedtime routine. It needs to be loaded with storage, suitable for sharing (if only for toothbrushing and face-washing) and easy to clean. Oh, and it’s also the bathroom most likely to be used by overnight guests, if you’ve no guest en suite – damp towels and Dad’s underwear on the floor is not an option. In short, this isn’t a room you can simply tart up with some fresh paint and fancy towels, although you should do that, too. If your off-spring are still wee, or yet to be conceived, there are a few practical child-friendly pointers to consider. Choose flooring that can’t be stained by urine (not always the kids at fault here). Forget posh but stain-prone encaustic tiles and natural stone: you need porcelain or ceramic tiles. And go for slip-resistant matt finishes rather than glossy. Underfloor heating can help in the battle to mop up splashes. Soft-close toilet seats and vanity drawers/doors will protect little fingers, not to mention your eardrums. Always opt for a

Never underestimate the impact of lighting on both functionality and looks. Tackle your lighting plan in a similar way to the kitchen by including task lights over key areas – the shower tray, basin and loo. Then add ambient lighting around the bath and in storage niches (on a separate switch) to create a more relaxing mood. Wall lights either side of the mirror will provide a more flattering reflection than those positioned above. To ensure safe nocturnal toilet trips without waking the whole family, consider including a low-watt night light on a movement sensor.

Buying bathroom fittings can be daunting, especially as you must take into account the type of hot-water system your home has for some purchases. Many taps and showers are only suitable for high-pressure systems, producing merely a trickle if your house is gravity fed. Raincloud-style showers needs serious volumes of hot water. Even getting a toilet can involve knowing the sort of inlet pipe you have. Your plumber can advise on the basics, but for more complex concerns that include design elements, go to a bathroom retailer.

WALL MURALS Dress your wall with one statement piece for a fun and unique space that’s packed with confidence

S
ometimes bigger is better, and when it comes to beautiful artwork, that certainly applies. Wall murals are a stand-out alternative to wallpaper, swapping a small repeated pattern for one large complete motif. Far from shy and retiring, they will proudly take centre stage in any room and transform your space entirely, so choosing the right design is essential. From elegant florals to geometric shapes, we’ve compiled an edit of the best, so you can colour outside the picture frame and create walls worthy of marvel.

This playful motif from Roomblush is a joy to behold. Combining geometric and floral elements to perfection, its unique design will bring fun to any room. These soft pinks, pastel greens and lilacs are soft and feminine, but the pattern is also available in bolder orange and green tones for extra vibrancy. Pastel Pieces wallpaper, £62.21 for a H285xW200cm mural, Roomblush
Back to nature Working from home can be stressful. Several studies have found that forests and trees make us feel more relaxed and lower our stress levels. While not a replacement for the real deal, a forest wall mural is a great idea for a home office, bringing a sense of calm where we need it most. At Wallsauce, you can select the precise section of the design you want for your space, giving you full control. Choose either a paste the wall option, or peel and stick for ease.

Nicola planned the kitchen herself using Magnet’s online kitchen design tool, choosing shelves rather than wall cabinets to blend into the living areas. ‘I’d seen The Shaker Kitchen Company on Facebook and loved their dark painted units,’ she says. ‘They were quite expensive but you can price up each cupboard online so there are no surprises. We used our own fitter to save money. I love the £40 vinyl splashback behind the cooker. When it fitted perfectly, I was over the moon.’

Extending upwards and outwards gave hands-on renovators Nicola and Barry their dream family home
A
fter three years of renting, Nicola Brunton and Barry Dodsworth were desperate to banish all traces of magnolia when they bought a tired 1920s semi in Darlington. The couple had sold their home in Heighington village, County Durham, three years prior to buy the pub they’d been leasing in Darlington. Since they didn’t want to live above the business, they had rented a stone farmhouse half an hour’s drive away in Barnard Castle. Selling the pub in 2017 gave them the funds they needed, and they continued living in their rented farmhouse for six months while working as labourers on the renovation project. The hard graft was worth it in the end, though: the couple and their three children now have a much larger open-plan kitchen-diner with a rustic industrial vibe and an extra bedroom and bathroom in the loft. Here the couple talk build details, lessons learned and how teamwork got them through the stressful moments.

Garden redesign
SLICE OF PARADISE Lynn and Gavin transformed their Edinburgh garden into a tropical scene that wouldn’t look out of place in one of the exotic locations to which they’ve travelled
WORDS ALISON GIBB PHOTOGRAPHS DOUGLAS GIBB
THERE
are around 2,000 botanical gardens across the world, and Lynn and Gavin McMurray have big plans to tick off the top seven. ‘We were visiting Kirstenbosch in Cape Town when we saw a sign about the other six main gardens, one of which was Edinburgh,’ says Lynn. ‘Singapore, New York, Missouri, Rio and Sydney were on there too. We’d love to get to them all. We’ll hopefully start with Singapore, then maybe New York the year after!’ Lynn and Gavin’s love for travel is the inspiration behind their garden makeover. Once their sons had grown up and left home, the couple planned to turn their garden into a tranquil, grown-up space where they could relax and entertain. ‘Travel gave me lots of ideas for the planting,’ says Lynn. ‘I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well some of the exotic specimens I had my heart set on have grown and flourished.’ The original garden was dug up for an extension in 2012. This gave the couple the chance to design a space from scratch. They roughed out the patio in breeze blocks and concrete as part of the house extension and lived with the bare structure for over a year, deciding on the final finishes and details using 3D sketching software. Stephen Ogilvie, a local landscaping company, installed it. ‘They did exactly what we
wanted,’ adds Gavin, ‘and added helpful ideas of their own.’ The result is a zen-like space with a hint of Japan, punctuated with hot, tropical colours. The road Lynn and Gavin live on slopes down from their house, so the garden is elevated, giving them views over Edinburgh. ‘We definitely wanted a contemporary rooftop feel, as you might get in an urban garden in Manhattan,’ says Lynn. Grasses and bamboos swish in the wind, adding another sensory element to the garden and year-round texture. Here’s how the couple got it done…

TILE STYLE The dark basalt tiles give graphic definition to the garden; they act as a heat sink and stay warm on a sunny day. They look stunning wet, too: they turn into a slick black when it rains, returning to a soft grey when they dry, relating nicely to similar tiles in the interior. The finishing touch to the patio was Lynn’s collection of pots. ‘I like them because I can move them around and change them up for the seasons,’ she explains. ‘My business is all about being in tune with the changing seasons – it’s something I feel very passionate about.’
Stephen Ogilvie designed a series of pebble channels around the garden to link the various spaces and to help define the level changes. Some are quite deep and narrow, some broader, providing variety and interest and a hint of the seaside. ‘We knew we wanted lawn to contrast with the tiled and pebbled areas,’ says Lynn. ‘We seriously considered artificial grass, but we opted for small areas of the real thing in the end.’

Q A
Walking through your house, it’s hard to imagine this was once an HMO. It must have been a huge undertaking – where did you start? It was! It was originally a three-bedroom house, but when we bought it, previous owners had converted the two living rooms into bedrooms, too. It was in pretty dire straits. We had a budget and we knew we might have to get a bit extra further down the line if we didn’t want to compromise on finishes. We completed on the sale the week before Christmas, so when we went away over the holidays, I started on the design work.

uch to my envy, there are people out there – perhaps you’re one of them – who can knock up a coffee table, desk or even a shed at a moment’s notice. But for even the most DIY-savvy, building an extension by yourself is a step too far – unless you’re Richard and Kristina. The couple bought their Victorian terrace, then a five-bedroom house of multiple occupancy (HMO), with a view to extend and modernise throughout. Taking on the build work by themselves was just another layer to add to the challenge. Of course, it helps that Richard’s an architect. After drawing up plans for the build, he decided to see the process through himself to further his understanding of what makes a project work – knowledge he says can take an architectural practice from good to great. Designed with friends, family and the couple’s love of hosting a party in mind, the resulting extension and garden studio is a unique, social space that’s a testament to what the skill, creativity and imagination of two people can do. I couldn’t wait to find out how they did it all.

AN OPEN SECRET The front of Rob and Paul’s 1930s semi is like any other – but the back of the house hides a beautifully finished open-plan kitchen and garden room
FROM
the outside, Rob and Paul’s 1930s house looks like a typical semi. Step inside, though, and you’re met with a light, bright, plant-filled kitchen-diner that’s full of character. Oak herringbone flooring and a mix of white and oak kitchen units act as a neutral base for pops of colour, from the metro splashback tiles to the bright block of green in the newly-extended garden room. Contemporary aluminium doors open up to the thriving garden the couple inherited from the previous owners – and there’s plenty of room for Rob and Paul, and their cat, Tigger, to while away the summer days. The kitchen Rob and Paul have created with their architect, Anna Parker, is an example of how an ordinary house is no obstacle to a beautifully designed home – all you need is some imagination and an open mind. Rob talks us through how he and Paul achieved their dream set-up…
The neutral foundations of the kitchen will appeal to future owners, but the couple have injected plenty of personality through finishing touches. ‘The design as a whole was inspired by Japanese simplicity,’ says Rob. ‘It comes out in things like the way we laid the tiles.’

FOCUS ON
Decking
Add an area for relaxing, dining, or cooking up an outdoor feast with the best decking designs around BEST FOR A HARDWOOD LOOK
BEST FOR REUSE FANS This composite decking is made with 95 per cent recycled materials, including plastic and wood flour – a by-product of the wood manufacturing industry from FSC-managed sources. It’s a low maintenance, slip-resistant material that doesn’t rot, stain or decay, and the unique clip system means the deck sits flush and is free from unsightly fixings. HD Deck Dual, £11.94 per metre, Composite Prime
With earthy tones and brown-red streaks, this board has the look of hardwood, but it’s an easy-care composite rather than timber. It can be installed just like timber decking using deck screws. Trex Transcend Square Edge decking board in Tiki Torch, from £46.18 for H25xW140x L3660mm, Howarth Timber & Building Supplies
BEST FOR EASY INSTALLATION These composite boards can be slotted and clipped together to create your deck so you don’t need to drill or use screws. They’re lightweight, too, making construction easier. The durable boards have a 20-year warranty, and just need to be cleaned with warm soapy water to maintain their appearance. FutureDek Silver Birch, from £45 per m2, DeckPlus
WORDS SARAH WARWICK
Three TOP TIPS MATERIAL MATTERS Decking can be made of softwood, hardwood or it can be a composite of wood and plastic. Softwood is the budget choice, but make sure you buy a product that’s been pressure treated with preservatives. Hardwood decking is costlier but more durable. Composite decking will also up your budget more than softwood, but a quality version has a long life span.
Hardwood, softwood or composite? Get the lowdown on decking options, plus how to look after your choice
CARE NEEDS The advantage of composite decking is that it will only need cleaning; wood also needs this regularly, but has other maintenance requirements, although these vary depending on the species of timber and where the deck is located. You’ll likely need to use a deck cleaning product every spring, then sand as necessary followed by treatment with an oil or stain.
120
SUCCESSFUL PLANNING Be aware of the rules before building a deck. It falls under permitted development for houses, but only if it’s no more than 30cm above the ground, and together with other extensions and outbuildings, covers no more than 50 per cent of the garden area. Check there are no planning conditions or Article 4 directions that apply to your house, though.
BEST FOR DO-IT-YOURSELFERS Softwood decking is a sound choice if you want to lay your new garden feature yourself as it’s easier to work with than hardwood boards. This version has different grooves on either side, so you can choose your preferred version, or create a frame for the deck with a second texture. GoodHome Madeira Spruce deck board, £5.25 for H24x W120xL2400mm, B&Q
BEST FOR SUBTLE COLOUR
Finishing touches Love the appearance of decking but prefer outdoor tiles? These designs have the look of wood
Enhanced appeal A rectified edge that minimises the joint puts the emphasis on the grain and colour of this tile. Lignum Beige wood-effect tile, £59.95 per m2, Original Style
BEST FOR SLIP-PROOFING If you have young children, or anyone who’s unsteady on their feet, in your home, consider a board made to avoid sliding on the surface. These timber boards are designed with two non-slip aggregate inserts for grip underfoot. They can be DIY installed, too. Gripsure anti slip decking board, £11.50 for H28xW120x L2400mm, Homebase
BEST FOR A SLEEK FINISH This decking is secured with concealed clips rather than visible screws, and was used to create a contemporary seating platform for the garden. It’s built from Kebony, a wood made to be stable and durable, which just needs cleaning from time to time. Kebony Radiata Magnet decking, around £108 per m2, plus design and installation, Sky House Design Centre

Bright future Create a contemporary look with pale porcelain outdoor slabs that replicate engineered hardwood. Vertige wood-effect grey slab tiles, £39.99 per m2, Tile Mountain
Chocolate tones Go dark with a porcelain tile in the rich and delicious shade of walnut. Everscape walnut wood outdoor tiles, £49.90 per m2, Topps Tiles
REALHOMES.COM
Consider alternative shades as well as classic wood tones for decking. The grey colour of this composite blends beautifully with foliage – or you can pick from a darker grey, black, or two brown shades. The reversible boards are grooved on one side, ribbed on the other and come in bespoke lengths to create less waste. Signature AT in Pebble Grey, £55 per m2, Ecodek
