Creating a New England Look to the Exterior of your House

Posted by Nick Burrin, on May 3rd, 2007, under Home Makeovers, RSS

There really is something about wooden clad houses that creates a soft organic feel, really blending into the environment so much more than brick.

If though, you feel that wood is too high maintenance, then there is a product made by Marley called Eternit Weatherboard http://www.eternit.co.uk/. This comes in several different colours, looks just like wood and can be sawn and used like wood. This comes with a 25 year guarantee; I have used it several times and even after five years it still looks great.

The use of decking and beach shingle with some nice palmy style plants really helps to give your house a New England beachy feel.

New England Interior Design

Posted by Nick Burrin, on May 3rd, 2007, under Home Makeovers, RSS

Creating your own New England home interior is really quite easy.

Bleached floorboards i.e. maple, oak, beech or just painted pine floorboards, white walls and white woodwork, is your starting point. Then add in our white furniture and add colour through cushions, throws and curtains.

I have been creating white interiors for many years now, and quite often go back to using everything white including carpets, curtains, paint, floor finishing and accessories. If you have never been in a totally white environment, it is hard to understand how amazing it makes you feel. It really does not matter if the whites are all slightly different whites; it just looks and feels incredible.

Some people say to me “Doesn’t it feel cold?” But no! It suits all the seasons of the year. For example, add a beautiful green Christmas Tree with white ribbons and baubles and white lights and you create a magical Christmas look. In the summer the light that is created in your home will make you feel inspired and refreshed.
