Living room interior trends for 2020
For many people in the Cotswolds and elsewhere, staying in is the new going out. And because of this, we are investing more money in decorating our homes and designing interiors to make our homes feel like a sanctuary; a place in which we want to relax and spend our free time.
An article in Ideal Home suggests that on average, Londoner’s will spend a whopping £5781 a year on decorating and furnishing their homes.
Homeowners in Gloucester may spend a little more conservatively than that but if you want the perfect pad, here are some living room design trends for 2020.
Warming neutrals
When it comes to neutral shades, grey has been prevalent on the interior design circuit for a long time. This year will see a shift from cold grey to slightly warmer, neutral tones like beige and taupe. Just as contemporary and easy to accessorise, but with the ability to create a cosier ambience. Pair this with the benefits of some Gloucester double glazing expertise from a firm such as Firmfix and your home will soon feel warm and cosy.
Layering
Layering is a great way to add texture and detail to a room. Lay down a plush rug or throw a knitted blanket over the back of your sofa and you are immediately adding depth and detail to a room. A thick rug can add feelings of warmth to a traditional Cotswolds hardwood or stone floor.
Green
Green is another major design trend of the year. Whether you’re brave enough to daub your walls or if you’d prefer the subtler approach of adding green cushions, rugs or curtains, the naturalistic vibe of the colour is very prevalent in interior design this year. Team it with salmon pink for the ultimate statement living room.
Geometric patterns
Geometric patterns and prints have been around for a while and they show no sign of going away in 2020. It’s a striking design that can be overdone so take care not to use it too much. For example, if you want to use geometric prints on a feature wall then opt for plain soft furnishings and vice versa. Done well it can give any room a modern, contemporary vibe. Done badly it will be likely to give you and your guests a headache!
How to protect your spray booth
Spray booths apply the final process on most production lines, and are usually tucked away somewhere remote from the rest of the factory. Unfortunately “out of sight out of mind” can be a costly mistake. The finish may be the last thing applied but it is the first the customer notices. Finishes need to be perfect every time, but you can’t achieve that from a flawed spray booth.
A guide to scrapping your car
When your car is at the end of its life and you can’t keep it or sell it, scrapping it is an option. While it can be a tough decision, if you’re attached to your faithful old vehicle, there are times when you just have to admit it’s time to call it a day. The reason for scrapping cars typically includes MoT failure or mechanical problems that would cost almost as much (or more) of the car’s worth to put right. So, what to do?
Use only authorized treatment facilities
When you are looking for a scrapyard, make sure it’s an authorized treatment facility (ATF), which means it is registered with the Environment Agency, which ensures that scrapyards stick to the rules and regulations surrounding the demolition of vehicles and correct handling of waste material. A complete list can be found on the site ATF Environment Agency website or for a Birmingham Scrap Yard, visit a site like https://www.birminghamautobreak.com/
What if my car cannot be moved to the scrapyard?
If your car won’t start or is not legal to drive, most scrapyards can collect the vehicle from you. They will, though, wish to cover their transportation costs and you will probably find you are offered a lower payment for your car to cover these costs. For cars that can still be driven, this option is still chosen by those drivers who might feel upset to see their car at the scrapyard.
Try scrap merchants online
Do not always accept the first price offered. Many companies dealing with end-of-life vehicles have an online presence. Some allow you to enter your car registration number so that they can determine the value. If you agree with their assessment, they will collect the car from you. You can probably get a better deal for your car by using one of the scrap metal comparison sites. If dealing with an independent trader, though, make sure it is registered with local authorities. It must have a license number, which should be prominently displayed on the site.
Consider selling parts of your car
If you are willing to put in a little extra time and effort, there is a chance you could make money by taking out and selling the car parts prior to it being scrapped. A mechanic will be able to give it the once over to see if it is worthwhile, as the market is booming for certain car parts but not for others. If you do not remove the parts themselves, you have to take into account labour costs garages will charge to do it for you. Remember that if your car has been written off in an accident and classified as a write-off, it cannot be used for parts and must be completely scrapped.
Get your documentation
Whichever method you use to get rid of your old car, make sure you tell the DVLA when you’ve discarded it. While ATF scrapyards and leading organizations must submit the correct part for your V5C, there is no harm in writing a quick letter to DVLA, giving the registration number of the car and explain what you have done with it. Unscrupulous merchants have been known to sell a car intended for a pile of garbage to unsuspecting members of the community, both domestically and abroad.
