3 Secrets to a Roomier House

August 31, 2011 Comments (0)

Sometimes you just have so much stuff in your house, you don’t know what to do with it all. You can’t throw it out, but you also don’t want a cluttered home. You might think there’s no room in your house to keep it looking sleek, spacious, and clean, but with a few simple changes you can make the most of the space you already have.

Your Closet’s Best Kept Secret: A closet can easily be a space disaster, but it can just as easily be fixed of its clutter. The secret to upgrading your closet is to use the back of your closet door to its fullest capacity. You can use the back of that door to store shoes, belts, and accessories by using hooks and over-the-door storage units. And the best part all of these gadgets, is that they stay hidden behind the door!

Dining Roomy: When you have no room for a big dining room table or magnificent chairs, there is a cozy, convenient, and affordable alternative. You can purchase a dining table, but instead of chairs, use stools that fit under the table to save room when you’re not eating. This unconventional table and chair space-saving duo and other unique home furniture items are available at Debenhams right now, and for a limited time you can receive free shipping on all orders over £30.

Floating Space: Another space saving tip that can be used in basically any room is to hang floating shelves instead of using standing shelves. Old bookcases and shelves that stand on the floor minimize the amount of floor space you have to walk on. But if your shelves are away from your feet and mounted on the wall, the room will look twice as spacious!

Backyard Makeover Magic

August 26, 2011 Comments (0)

Glancing outside of your back door, you may have realized that your patio furniture and the surrounding yard are in need of a little updating. Weather-worn seat cushions and a garden that’s seen better days, are all indicators that it’s time to give your yard a little more curb appeal, so to speak. Follow these tips and tricks to get the best backyard on the block at a great price.

Keep Warm: During overcast fall days you may feel the urge to sit outside and drink a warm cup of hot coco before dinner. While a jacket and blanket may be enough for some, most people require a little extra heat during the chillier seasons. If you’re a member of the majority, order yourself a log burner or large chimenea to not only stay warmer for longer, but to also make your backyard feel cozy and comforting.

Going Green: Neglected plants can become overgrown and turn your garden into a shaggy, leafy mess. So give your ivy and tall plants something to reach for by installing an ornate garden arch. Not only will it contain your greens, but it will also add a stylistic touch and old-fashioned feel to your garden.

Save Big: You can find all of these backyard-enhancing accessories at isme, the online and catalogue headquarters for fashion-forward people who want their homes to match their sense of style. Fill up your shopping cart by August 13 and enjoy savings of up to 60% off of isme’s collection of garden furniture, barbeques, and more.

Summer Endings

August 25, 2011 Comments (0)

The back-to-school season can be a stress-filled time of year for everyone. Kids are mourning the loss of their vacation; young adults are dreading English lessons; collegiate scholars are fearing impending term papers, and above all, parents are anticipating the high costs of new wardrobes, travel expenses, and more. Here are a few ways to ensure that this year’s transition into back-to-school mode is a bit smoother than usual.

Bribery and Rewards: To get your kids pumped up for math class, whip up a batch of cupcakes or cookies and ask your kids to help out. They’ll get a better grasp on fractions, counting, and so forth, and as a reward for a math lesson well learned, you can pack a few extra sweets in their lunch bags.

Saving a Few Pounds: From pencils and paper to binders and backpacks, back-to-school can stress out more than your mind–it can also stress out your bank account. Have your children double check their school supplies from last year to see if anything that was barely used or untouched will be able to benefit them this time around. And since you will inevitably have to purchase some new supplies, you can take advantage of Staples’ £15-off all orders of £75 or more discount (code: 301479). But the deal only lasts until August 29, so get going!

Make it Work

August 19, 2011 Comments (0)

A truly fantastic outfit is one thing, but it takes a killer assortment of accessories to truly make it come alive. And while picking the right this to go with that can be kind of tricky, here are a few tips that can help you navigate the sometimes intimidating, but always exciting world of accessories.

Where to Go: One stop shopping is the fastest, most efficient, and sometimes the most inexpensive way to get all the accessories that you’ll need for the season. When a retailer is offering a short-term deal on purchases, that’s your chance to stock up and save. Accessory outlets like Folli Follie, Harrison, and Oliver Bonas have deals that range from percentage discounts to free shipping. In fact, until August 24, Folli Follie is offering free shipping on its assortment of jewellery, watches, bags, and wallets (code: CODESPP). Sometimes shipping costs can run awfully close to the amount that you actually pay for the product, so this is a really great deal (Plus, it’s a Codes.Co.Uk exclusive! )

How to Work It: The old-fashioned notion that the purse must match the shoes that match the earrings and the bracelet is long dead. Your accessories don’t have to “match” so to speak, they merely have to work together and elevate the level of your look. Experiment with colors, textures and designs until you find what works for you.
