The cold harsh winter is long gone which means now is the time to spruce up the home with a makeover to make it bright for the summertime. Brits can give the tired walls a face-lift and ensure the property is pristine clean with some top tips.

Revamp the home by maintenance checking all the essentials like the plumbing, electrics and roofing. The blustery weather over the winter season may have blown loose some roof tiles or frozen some pipes and caused a leak so make sure that all are in working order.

Don’t spend the summer cooped up indoors cleaning the house. A thorough spring clean will ensure that you can enjoy the rising temperatures and glorious sunshine, so empty all the contents out of the kitchen cabinets and give the cupboards a good scrub. Furthermore, ensure that the oven is immaculate ready to grill the sausages and burgers; clear away all the clutter; and wash all the windows so they are transparent.

Top cleaning tips include dusting all the blinds, cleaning out the dirty refrigerator and cleaning the washing machine and dishwasher. But as well as cleaning there is no better time than now to give the home a renovation. New ceiling lighting and LED lights will brighten up any rooms that appear dark and dull, and a splash of paint will enhance the overall décor.

Why not increase the value of the property by extending the living space with a new conservatory? It will add worth to the market price of the house and the weather is perfect for building conditions so it should be completed in no time.

Oak Furniture Land, the UK’s largest retailer of solid hardwood furniture, announces plans to launch six ranges of hardwood framed contemporary sofas. If you’ve ever bought anything from Oak Furniture Land before, you’ll know that quality design and craftsmanship is at the core of everything they do. With over twenty ranges of solid oak, mango and mahogany furniture available, this fast-growing retailer offers superior products at incredibly affordable prices. This ethos is evident in every item they sell – including the newest additions to their portfolio: six ranges of quality sofas.

Available in six different styles, the new collection of leather and fabric sofas are handmade in the UK to match the quality and design of the retailer’s existing ranges. Each sofa features a solid hardwood frame and the finest fabric or genuine Italian leather upholstery. There’s a huge selection of eye-catching, modern designs to choose from – whether you’re looking for contemporary sofas or traditional sofas, leather sofas or fabric sofas, you’re sure to find something just right.

Oak Furniture Land understand that the most important thing in the sofa world is comfort. This is why each sofa is made with the finest fillings available. These fillings include Duratech carded fibre and Encore carded fibre with a foam insert. Both of these are the only filling types to have ever received the FIRA Gold Award for product excellence. For each range there’s a large or small sofa size option, in addition to an armchair and matching footstool. Characterised by the same high quality features as the sofas, the footstools boast solid oak feet with the same award-winning carded fibre filling. Other quality features include plush, feather-filled accent scatter cushions, which are included at no extra cost, and solid oak feet, available in a light or dark stain finish.

The ranges:

Jamie – Characterised by elegantly flared arms, the Jamie range is a collection of Italian leather sofas, which are upholstered in full-grain, genuine leather hide. Richmond – For classically-styled, traditional sofas, the Richmond collection offers a range of fabric sofas, distinguished by attractive valances and rolled arms.

Vermont – Sumptuously comfortable with an eye-catching, modern design, the Vermont range offers Italian leather sofas with strong rounded arms with luxuriously deep seats.

Jasmine – The Jasmine range is a collection of contemporary fabric sofas with flared arms and deliciously soft covers. As is standard with all the fabric sofas, the Jasmine range comes with two, feather-filled scatter cushions.

Elliot – Generously proportioned and lavishly comfortable, the Elliot range offers fabric sofas with extra wide seat cushions.

Duke – Relaxed, contemporary and supremely comfortable, the Duke range is another fabric sofa collection with Encore filled seat cushions.

The Olympic Games is set to boost the trend towards working from home, according to a new report.

Flexible working practices adopted by firms to minimise the disruptive impact of the Games could spark a new wave of home office workers.

The move is expected to see Londoners creating new spaces inside their homes, complete with a range of home office furniture.

The Smart Growth Analytics 2012 Home Office Survey has demonstrated the increasing importance of home offices across London and the rest of the country.

According to the survey there are currently 140,000 home offices across London with the City having the highest density – almost 90 per square km.

Nearly 4% of all those working in the capital work from home using home office furniture compared with 3% nationally.

Interestingly, while home offices are an economic feature across the whole of London, Barnet has the highest volume, with around 8,000.

Analysts believe these office trends will be boosted significantly by the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.

A recent study, by communications strategists Cisco, found that around 22% of UK firms will adopt flexible working practices in order to address disruption.

As well as minimising disruption from the Games, a benefit of increased home office working can include a smaller central office workspace requirement for the firm, saving money.

For employees, benefits include convenience, flexibility and huge time and cost savings through reduced commuting.

Jim Plunkett-Cole, Principal Analyst at Smart Growth Analytics, said: “The findings from this analysis help us to understand the increasingly important home-based economic functionality of London’s residential areas.”
