The Forge, Luddenmore Cross, Grange Saturday, April 30, 2016 www.limerickleader.ie LIMERICK PROPERTY TODAY HOME&INTERIORS THE GREAT OUTDOORS Entertaining outdoors is part of the pleasure of lazy summer days and balmy evenings, and no matter what size your space - a grand terrace or a tiny balcony - it's vital to make the most of the area This outdoor zone should be a beautifully furnished extension of your home, so check out stylish and practical patio pieces, ranging in price from luxe to budget, and create patio perfection... GET WEAVING Neutral shades - so on trend indoors - are making an impact outside, and a soft grey, ivory or cream palette features in many woven, rattan-effect ranges. "Chairs with woven seats and backs feature in many of the new ranges this year, and the attraction of this rattanstyle woven effect is that it adds visual interest and is also ultra-comfortable," says Tina Mahony, director of contemporary garden furniture specialists, Go Modern DRESS THE DECK There's a big shift towards informal seating as we treat outdoor spaces as lounges, rather than solely al fresco areas. Marks & Spencer's Worthing rattan-effect furniture has gentle, curved lines and would look just as good in a conservatory. The range, available in grey or ivory, TOP TIP: Matching the floor tiles in the room that opens onto your patio, and those used outdoors, can make the whole space feel far larger. TIMBER TREND Create harmony between your space and the outdoors, by choosing a natural material like wood. "Wood is our traditional choice for garden furniture, and its mellow tones will always enhance a setting," says Katie Rushworth, a presenter on ITV's Love Your Garden who has been acting as an advisor for Wyevale Garden Centres in the UK. "Don't worry if your guests won't fit around one table. Entertaining lots of people can be much easier if you also create lots of small seating areas. Try adding a bistro set, a mix of metal and weave chairs, or a swing seat." Don't overlook lighting, which transforms a space when the sun goes down," she adds. "Candles, lanterns or strings of lights are essentials, and solar-powered accent lights can add drama and interest if you highlight paths or create focal points with spotlights. TOP TIP: Tropical hardwoods, such as teak and eucalyptus, are naturally weatherresistant due to their high oil contents, which makes them easy to look after. Over time, teak, courbaril, roble and cumaru will weather to a beautiful silver grey colour. Bear in mind, stone is an equally attractive natural material. MAKE MINE METAL Sleek contemporary style marries perfectly with stainless steel and metallic finishes. "Size does matter, and there's nothing worse than overwhelming a space with bulky furniture," says Nicola Gidlow, buyer for outdoor living, John Lewis. "Decide first on the space you can give over to a new range, and whether you want it to be something which can go indoors as well. Take time to measure up properly, so the dimensions of pieces work well with the proportions of your outdoor space. "Think of your garden as another room, and that way you'll naturally choose furniture which matches your taste and lifestyle." Living walls, where plants 'grow' on a vertical surface, are becoming hugely popular, as they soften a space and inject colour and interest. TOP TIP: Comfort is key, especially if you want to linger over meals and drinks, in which case you'll probably favour chairs with backs rather than functional benches. Check how much care furniture needs before buying some woods may need an annual scrub down and oil - and ensure you buy a furniture cover, particularly if you don't have a covered winter storage area. Glass and steel are ideal materials for durable outdoor furniture 15 16 LIMERICK PROPERTY TODAY www.limerickleader.ie Saturday, April 30, 2016 INTERIORS Craft the perfect floor plan Choosing new flooring can be daunting, especially when you consider the groundwork that goes into crafting the perfect floor plan. Along with being practical, your flooring choice needs to suit your space and style and there's a wide array of contemporary design options, whether you opt for tiles, mosaics, stone, wood or carpet. All you have to do is step up and choose the right one for you... Oak is a timeless material that will look great in any part of your home Domestic & Commercial Projects STONEWORK PAVING Limerick, Ireland Email: [email protected] Tel: 086 788 2676 Web: www.g-stone.ie ON THE TILES "A hallway is used day in, day out, as a high footfall area, so hard-wearing materials work brilliantly, says Sian O'Neill, head of marketing at Topps Tiles. "For a contemporary look, modular patterns are a key trend, with geometric shapes laid in a linear format." Flooring in pale, soft shades will help create a bright, airy entrance. A good tip is to use grey grout, instead of conventional white, as it gives a modern look and stays looking fresh, even after lots of impact with muddy boots or wet paws! In living rooms, the trend for indoor/outdoor living is huge, and growing in popularity. "The key to achieving this style of living space is keeping it seamless, to create one complete, unified living area," say O'Neill. "Laying the same flooring through to your patio will extend your living room, bringing the indoors outside and creating an even bigger space." This look is perfect for any home, large or compact, and can completely change the way you view the spaces you live in. Hexagons and geometric patterns on tiles tick all the current interior trends, and are perfect for use throughout. "Based on the striking patchworks and patterns of Mediterranean decor, Moroccan tile designs are a popular and refreshing option when it comes to tiling a floor space," notes Callum Chester, spokesperson for Walls And Floors. "They create a statement focal point that instantly injects charm and character into any room." And don't forget, linear tiles and geometric shapes can be introduced to the bathroom, to accent bathroom furniture. STONE ME For a modern feel in a neutral scheme, natural stone floors are always desirable, especially when they're highly polished to reflect light. This gives the illusion of more space and can be enriched by metal bar stools in a kitchen, or a free standing bath with traditional cast iron feet in bathrooms. "Porcelain and stone flooring continue to be popular choices, as they offer both durability and a luxurious finish," says Prity Rana, marketing manager at Marshalls Tile And Stone Interiors. " The many finishes and colours mean there are options to complement any style of home or taste." Remember though; natural stone does require regular cleaning and specialist treatment to keep it in top condition, while hardwearing porcelain and stoneeffect tiles can withstand the daily trials of family living, and provide a forgiving backdrop without being as highmaintenance - worth considering in a well-used room. OAK AGED Timeless in the style stakes, natural flooring materials like oak also contrast well with marble worktops, wooden cabinets and butcher's blocks, to style up your culinary space. The amount of time we spend in the kitchen makes it a worthy investment, too. "Oak flooring has become increasingly popular with consumers embracing the simplicity and natural beauty of rustic oak," says Mike Richardson, managing director at Kersaint Cobb. "I ntroducing colours and soft tones, through greys and pale whites, adds a modern twist to classic materials, and the vintage feel continues to remain a popular trend. "Dark woods are ideal for traditional schemes, adding warmth and depth to a room." If you're on a budget but love the aged oak look, laminate flooring is a cost effect alternative to the real thing, along with being durable and hard-wearing. “Most ranges incorporate authentic wood grains, which are perfectly reflected into the floor's joints, creating a natural look and making laminate an ideal choice if real wood flooring isn't an option," says Heather Taylor, floor coverings buyer at John Lewis. "With an extensive array of colour choices, laminate can complement so many existing kitchen schemes, meaning a simple update of the floor can completely reinvigorate the space." CUE THE CARPET Neutrals, throw rugs and bold stripes are great for laying in the living room and with the growing trend for introducing pattern on the floor, you can really go to town with designs and textures. "Whether it's bolder chevron patterns or more subtle stripes, introducing pattern can instantly change the shape and feel of a room," says Emma Hopkins, marketing manager at Crucial Trading. "Colourful stripes are great for elongating and widening an area, creating an illusion of a larger space, and lighter shades are perfect for brightening cramped spaces by reflecting the light - this makes them just as adaptable for living rooms as they are for hallways, stairs and studies." Kersaint Cobb's Richardson agrees: "We're seeing the return of striped carpets as a popular choice for the home. Stripes are great for widening or lengthening a room, adding that extra dimension that some spaces are lacking. Using striped carpet is also an easy way to make the floor a focal point of a room." For the best of both worlds, those with wooden flooring can look to layer and experiment with texture." Neutral lighter shades, such as grey, blues and offwhites, are particularly effective for opening up smaller spaces. However, bold colours and patterns are great for creating attention-grabbing designs to transform a room.

An electric underfloor heating system (also known as a dry system) radiates heat through a series of wires in the floor. It's either a mat, which is best for large spaces because it can be rolled out to cover an entire floor, or a cable/loose-fit system (individual wires). This is a flexible solution for smaller and awkwardly shaped rooms, such as bathrooms, where there's no need to heat the floor under the basin and bath. Heating mats should be laid on a finished subfloor, such as plywood, and encased in a flexible levelling compound or flexible tile adhesive, while cable/loose-fit systems should be encased in the finishing screed of a concrete floor. 2. One of the benefits of underfloor heating is that there's more free wall space than with radiators. Another benefit is that the room is heated more evenly - with radiators, you get cold spots. Radiant heat (produced by underfloor heating) is the most efficient form of heat distribution, and airborne dust is greatly reduced, which is good for allergy sufferers. Underfloor heating works at a lower temperature to radiators, so a well-insulated home is vital to prevent heat loss (see below). 3. Electric underfloor systems can work with most types of floor covering (check when you buy if in doubt), from carpet, vinyl and wood, to ceramic tiles and natural stone, but it's important to get the right wattage. A 100W mat can be used to take the chill off cold floor tiles, while a 150W mat can be used as a primary heating source, providing adequate insulation is in place. For areas of high heat loss, such as conservatories, a 200W mat is needed. You can adjust the temperature easily from a thermostat (a smart thermostat can be controlled by an app) and independently of your home's central heating system - electric underfloor heating is ideal for warming a cold bathroom floor when the central heating's off. 4. A poorly insulated home loses lots of heat, reducing the effectiveness of any underfloor heating system. If the floor isn't insulated sufficiently, for example, the underfloor heating will heat the earth below, as well as the room above, which no one wants. Whether you're fitting an electric or wet underfloor system, ensure you insulate under the heating elements sufficiently, and insulate elsewhere in the home as much as possible to get maximum benefit. 5. If you're a competent and experienced DIYer, you could fit electric underfloor heating yourself, as long as a qualified electrician connects the system to the mains supply and thermostat. 087 288 7400 or 063 88188 Tarmacadam Tar & Chipping Kerbing Excavations Drainage Car Parks Driveways Tennis Courts Schools Churches And more...
