At least, so says a new report into interiors trends based on buyers’ habits at John Lewis in 2018. According to the 2018 trend report by John Lewis & Partners, the BBC’s hit documentary series Blue Planet II, narrated by David Attenborough, put sustainability at the forefront of everyone’s minds. In the four months after Blue Planet II was broadcast, sales of sustainable coffee cups at John Lewis increased by 71 per cent year-on-year. Reusable water bottle sales rose by 37 per cent, while sustainable alternatives to clingfilm also proved popular, with storage category sales up by 15 per cent. Other notable events throughout the year also impacted on our shopping habits. After the Royal Wedding in May, sales of occasion wear hats rose by 33 per cent, while after England beat Colombia in the World Cup in July, sales of TVs rose by 49 per cent. Small, discreet screens these are not, however. The report found that televisions have almost doubled in size since 2010, when the average TV screen measured 36 inches — it’s now 70 inches or more. With the rise of ever more curated Instagram feeds, we’re increasingly obsessed with how we present our homes on social media. A desire for the perfect Instagram-worthy home this year meant we were focused on finding stand-out pieces to show off on our feeds. Eye-catching animal prints proved popular this year, with toucans, monkeys and cheetahs on everything from wallpaper to lampshades. Changing rooms: the most popular interiors trends of 2018 and the homewares facing extinction this year

6 House & Home www.dnfourteenmag.co.uk The department store said sales of its Ipanema toucan patterned wallpaper rose by 55 per cent in August. Our search for unusual furniture also ramped up a gear this year. Occasional chair sales at John Lewis were up by 18 per cent with the orange velvet Audrey chair a bestseller. “This year was all about shoppers expressing their identities and choosing pieces which say something about them as individuals,” said Jonathan Marsh, buying director for home at John Lewis & Partners. Consumers became more daring with interior design, using flashes of colour and objet d’art to make their homes unique.” There were some products that fell out of favour this year, perhaps unsurprisingly. Sleep hygiene as a major part of wellness and healthy living may have seen premium bed linen and organic sleep products on the rise but, with more of us opting to use our smartphones for almost everything these days, sales of alarm clocks were down 16 per cent. Though once cutting edge, sales of trouser presses were down by 36 per cent and, with the introduction of tech- advanced smart doorbells, traditional doorknob sales decreased by 9 per cent. And the rise of streaming services such as Netflix or Amazon Prime have caused the demise of the DVD player – sales were down 40 per cent this year.

Stamp duty costs and Brexit uncertainty are halting the market even further, so it’s no surprise that 28 per cent of homeowners - surveyed as part of the 2018 Barclays Home Improvement Report - said a lack of affordability was behind many decisions to stay put. “With so many of us now staying in our properties for such a long time, it is clear that our homes are so much more than just bricks and mortar – they are a space for us to relax and enjoy times with our loved ones, so it is important to make them fit for purpose,” says Phil Spencer, TV property expert and spokesperson for the Barclays Mortgages report. WHY DO WE DO IT? One in four home-owning Brits said their main reason for renovating was to increase the value of their property. The most popular home improvement projects carried out this year were fitting new carpets (35 per cent),installing a new kitchen (31 per cent) and landscaping the garden (29 per cent). An impressive 79 per cent of owners carried out improvements in the past two years and 73 per cent revealed they would like to make changes in the next 12 months. Adding bi-folding kitchen/garden doors (30 per cent), incorporating smart home tech (26 per cent) and creating a spa bathroom (20 per cent) were revealed as the most desired improvement projects among UK homeowners. WHAT NOT TO DO The top three property turn offs were woodchip wallpaper (60 per cent), mirrored ceilings (49 per cent) and carpeted bathrooms (46 per cent). Other absolute no-nos included ugly blinds, fake beams and beaded door curtains. “I would encourage anyone looking to update their home to take inspiration where they can, but always think about the long-term – ask yourself how something will look in three, five and 10 years before committing your time and money,” says Spencer.

If the full market value of the shared- ownership property was more than £500,000, the buyer would not have been eligible for any stamp duty reduction at all. So, a buyer paying £125,000 for a 25 per cent share of a new home valued at £500,000 would still have had to pay £10,000 stamp duty – equivalent to five per cent of the sales price above £300,000. Alternatively, buyers could elect to use their first-time buyer exemption on the first share of the property they bought, but would have had to pay full rate stamp duty on all further shares they bought, regardless if the sum of all payments was less than £300,000. Now, these buyers will be exempt from this tax, which has also been implemented retrospectively for any shared-ownership buyers since the first- time buyer exemption was introduced in November 2017. “By their nature, first-time buyers purchasing shared-ownership homes are struggling to take that all important first step onto the housing ladder. Making shared-ownership home buyers – who are only buying a share of the property – eligible for the first time buyer stamp duty exemption is a welcome move and makes complete sense,” said Paula Higgins, chief executive, HomeOwners Alliance. “The fact Mr Hammond has promised to apply this retrospectively and put right the wrong for all those shared-ownership scheme home buyers since the last Budget is again great to see.” However, many commenters were dismayed that other stamp duty rates, which many blame for the stagnating property market, were ignored in the Budget 2018. Property investment firm London Central Portfolio attributed a 34.8 per cent fall in transactions to increased property taxes for homes costing more than £937,000 and for second home purchases, as well as cuts to tax relief for buy-to-let landlords. But the Chancellor opted to keep current levels where they are. “In failing to address Stamp Duty for a fourth consecutive year, the Chancellor has missed another opportunity to inject much needed momentum into the market. As the primary hurdle facing residential property, Stamp Duty fees over the £937,500 threshold coupled with the three per cent levy on second or multiple home purchases are grinding the market to a halt,” said Rory O’Neill, head of residential at estate agent Carter Jonas. “It should go without saying that no echelon of the market operates in isolation, and penalties at the top end will always filter down the ladder. “While the number of first-time buyers has reached an 11 year high, at present, the market is so congested in the middle that it has reached an impasse.” Stamp Duty abolished in Budget 2018 for all first-time buyers of shared ownership properties up to £500,000 Chancellor Philip Hammond announced plans to correct an anomaly from his previous Budget by cutting stamp duty for first-time buyers of shared ownership properties worth up to £500,000.

To contact please Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • Telephone: 01964 552 470 Local News Community groups and local organisations in Goole and surrounding area are benefitting from the much-expanded Goole Fields Wind Farms Community Fund, which opened at the beginning of the year. The fund receives an annual donation from Innogy Renewables UK Ltd (innogy) of nearly £250,000 and is administered by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. This much larger fund builds on the legacy of the original Goole 1 Fund that has, over the past few years, supported a wide range of local community projects, from improving community amenities and sports facilities to enhancing community services and activities. The independent fund panel, made up of local volunteers, meets quarterly to consider applications that can be submitted by applicants throughout the year. So far this year, the panel has awarded grants totalling over £140,000 to 20 local organisations. Josie Head of St Mary’s Community Charity said: “We are delighted to have been awarded a grant from the wind farm fund. “Although this was a small project, it has made a massive difference to our capabilities. The Old Goole Shrine was dedicated in 2016 and we held small remembrance services with our electrical supply coming via extension leads from the club house. This failed and I decided that we needed a properly installed electric supply. We couldn’t have done this in time for the Centenary Service for the end of the First World War without help. “A number of events for children have been held in the garden since and the difference having the electric supply is marvellous. “Our Centenary Remembrance Service is focused around children. With children from Marshlands Primary School singing and reciting poetry for us. We are having a party afterward. Our hope is that the children will pick up the baton and continue focusing on community when we ‘oldies’ are gone.” The fund is open to receive applications all year round and the panel meets four times a year to make funding decisions. The next decision making meeting will be in December, when the panel will consider applications received between 1 September and 30 November.

FISH plays HULL - City Hall on Wednesday 12th December! Following the digital release of his entire solo catalogue in June, which has generated well over a million streams already, FISH has released his brand new single, ‘Man With A Stick’, the first track to be taken from his upcoming EP A Parley With Angels, and the first taste of his final studio album, Weltschmerz. A brooding blend of minimalist drums and possessing synthesizers, ‘Man With A Stick’ is a reflective and thought-provoking track from Fish. Regarding the single he says, “I was inspired to write this lyric after my father died in May 2016. He was a strong, proud, well-respected man who, like most of us, found growing old difficult. When he reached his mid 80’s he was becoming a shadow of his former self and in the last few months of his life he relied more and more on his trusty walking stick to get around. After he left us I found it hard to look at any old men walking with a stick. I started to think about our relationships with sticks in our lives and how they go from being associated with fun and play to becom- ing something more sinister and symbols of power eventually supporting us as our strength weakens and old age takes its toll.” The new EP, A Parley With Angels will feature four tracks recorded live at London’s Islington Assembly Hall last year: ‘Emperor’s Song’, ‘State Of Mind’, ‘Circle Line’ and ‘Voyeur’, in addition to two other brand new tracks – ‘Waverley Steps’ and ‘Little Man What Now?’, both of which will also appear on FISH’s final studio album, Weltschmerz. The tour will see him perform the classic Marillion album Clutching At Straws for the final time, as well as material from Weltschmerz. As recently announced by Warners the remastered version of Clutching At Straws will be released on November 23rd.

WE ROUND UP SOME FASCINATING TRIVIA GEMS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE FOODS CARROT PROPAGANDA The myth that carrots make you see better in the dark was popularised by British government propaganda in World War Two. The ploy was to fool the Germans into thinking the vegetable was behind our increased night- time bombing rate and prevent them discovering the invention of radar technology. KIWIS ARE BETTER FOR YOU THAN ORANGES Despite having more calories and higher carbohydrate levels, one small kiwi fruit contains almost double the amount of Vitamin C than an average sized orange. Consuming just two thirds of a kiwi will meet your Recommended Daily Intake and improve your skin condition. RED HOT CHILLI’S Chillis contain a chemical compound called capsaicin, which bonds to sensory nerves and tricks them into thinking your mouth is being burned. The brain also tends to release endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller, as a result, causing the diner to experience feelings of euphoria and bliss. NUTMEG CAN HAVE MIND ALTERING EFFECTS The psychoactive substance myristicin (a traditional precursor to the psychedelic drug MMDA) is a key component of this aromatic spice. Raw nutmeg can therefore lead to intoxication if eaten in large enough quantities and can even result in hallucinogenic effects, paranoia and visual distortions. FOOTLONG SUBWAYS AREN’T A FOOT LONG An Australian teenager discovered that the so-called Footlong option at Subway restaurants only measures 11 inches in length. The fast food chain responded by claiming that the name is merely intended as creative licence and is not to be taken as a literal measurement. PRETZEL PRAYING POWER This popular baked bread is often considered to have started its life as an incentive for children to learn their prayers. The folded strips of dough (said to resemble arms crossed in worship) were reportedly invented by an Italian monk, who called them ‘pretiola’ or ‘little rewards’.

26 Gardening Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. Balance Planting containers (sitting); pruning, raking and mowing (standing) WHY Falls cost the NHS over £2 billion annually, so there’s a good economic reason to prevent them. “Part of the treatment for any balance problem is physical exercise,” says Dr Sam Everington. “If you’re in a dark space it’s not so effective, but if you’re outside in good light it’s far better. In a garden you’re in a safe space, too.” Light physical exercise encourages good balance. Regular gardeners are 30% less likely to have falls than other adults. DID YOU KNOW? A 10% increase in adult physical activity would save 6,000 lives and £500 million a year. Dexterity Sowing seeds, pinching out seedlings, deadheading, planting broad beans WHY Fiddly gardening tasks hone fine motor skills, such as the ‘pincer’ movements you make when fastening a button or writing. One study found that women in Korea developed better dexterity after gardening twice a week than a non-gardening group. In Horatio’s Garden at the Spinal Treatment Centre in Salisbury, Wiltshire, a therapist helps patients practise fine motor skills by sowing seeds and planting bulbs. “Patients spend time laughing, so it doesn’t feel like therapy,” says Olivia Chapple, the garden’s founder. DID YOU KNOW? School gardening clubs teach children fine motor skills through tasks such as transplanting seedlings and tying in tomatoes. Coordination Potting up seedlings, dead heading, watering with a watering can WHY Complex gardening activities demand good coordination. Stroke survivors, autistic children and patients with Alzheimer’s develop better connections between hand and eye after gardening. Craig Lister runs the Green Gym programme of guided gardening sessions created by The Conservation Volunteers. “It’s strength with control,” he says. “Unlike in a regular gym where you don’t have a fixed control. [In the garden] if you want to pick up something, you’ve got to control it at the same time.” DID YOU KNOW? Good hand-eye coordination also affects other areas of life too, as it’s been linked to cognitive ability and social skills. Gardening For Fitness Whether you spend five minutes or a whole day gardening, all the stretching, pulling, pushing and lifting will help you and your garden stay in great shape
27 Gardening DNfourteen-Magazine Cardio fitness Medium intensity activities such as mowing, raking, hoeing and weeding WHY Gardening gets us off our sofas and increases physical health by an average 33%, with knock- on benefits for rates of heart disease and diabetes. Half an hour pushing a lawnmower burns 150 calories – equivalent to a moderate gym session – and unlike gym membership, you don’t give it up after a month. “The gym stays the same, but garden tasks are always changing,” says Jules Pretty, Professor of Environment and Society at Exeter University. “This makes adherence more likely.” DID YOU KNOW? Gardeners tend to be fitter: A 2015 study found 68% of non- gardeners are overweight or obese, compared with 47% of gardeners. Flexibility Pricking out seedlings, tying in sweet peas, planting hanging baskets. gardening alongside weight training and sit ups as activities for strengthening muscles. In the USA, elderly gardeners are shown to have stronger hands than the norm. The Green Gym’s Craig Lister says gardening goes even further. “People are continuing to be more physically active even when they’re not volunteering at a Green Gym session,” he says. DID YOU KNOW? NHS guidelines suggest two strengthening exercise sessions a week. Patience Sowing seed, striking cuttings, growing seasonal crops like strawberries. WHY “Gardening teaches you to slow down,” says Sara Venn, who runs community food-growing movement Incredible Edible Bristol. “People come here and sow a seed, then a week later they ask, where is it? If you’re going to work on the land, you have to go at nature’s pace.” Children learn to appreciate patience through waiting for crops to ripen in school gardening projects, and are taught ‘stickability’ – seeing a project through to the end. Gardening can also help calm children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. DID YOU KNOW? Couples who garden together report they’re more patient with each other. WHY You’re constantly bending down and stretching up when you’re gardening, and that helps keep joints supple and flexible. Gardeners who garden at least once a week stay more mobile for longer. During ‘Sow and Grow’, a three-year outreach programme, horticultural therapy charity Thrive used techniques like tabletop gardening and adapted tools so visitors with mobility-limiting disabilities such as multiple sclerosis could keep gardening. As a result, they found mobility improved measurably. DID YOU KNOW? Just 30 minutes’ gardening a day can improve flexibility and mobility. Strength Digging, wheeling wheelbarrows, raking, hoeing, cutting hedges, planting trees. WHY More intense activities in gardening – the ones that make you really sweat, like raking up leaves – do wonders for upper body strength. Chief medical officers in the UK list

Fiona’s Word 5 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband. CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN Is it really November already? Time to put my Christmas shopping plan into action then! Ha! That would require me actually having a Christmas shopping plan. Much as I’d like to believe I will be more organised this year than ever before, I sincerely doubt that will be the case. I can try though! “Do or do not. There is no try.” Yes, thank you very much Yoda. On that note, I’m going to write a list because lists make me feel better. And maybe this year I will finally write my Christmas Cards early so that I can send them at the beginning of December rather than the week before the day itself. AMAZING WOMEN I’m really looking forward to compering the Women of Achievement Awards again this month. Organised by Women in Business, it’s always such an inspiring event. This year’s guest speaker is Paralympian Martine Wright, MBE, who lost both of her legs during the 7th July 2005 bombing in London. Her story is one of triumph over adversity. Rather than dwelling on her loss, she has used it as a springboard for her new life. I can’t wait to meet her. UNUSUAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS While you’re contemplating your Christmas list, if you get stuck, why not try something a little different? Buy your loved one a goat, a chicken, a water supply or even a vegetable garden. Charities like CAFOD, World Vision, UNICEF and Water Aid, in fact most registered charities, have essential gifts that can save lives in the poorest of countries. There are literally hundreds of things to choose from – medical aid, vaccinations, sanitary products for girls/women, food for a family. Just go online and search for a charity you admire. We are so lucky to have a roof over our heads, food on the table, clean water and free medical care – what better way to celebrate Christmas than to help those in need?
