DEBBIE KNIGHT

from luxury brand senti.co.uk

on scenting your home

Dot di users around your

home, positioned at waist

height with room around them

for air to circulate. Hallways

and doorways, bathrooms and

sitting rooms are especially

e ective, as air circulation and

people moving around carry the

fragrance well.

Spritz napkins with citrus/

herby scents, nothing too fl oral

to distract from the food and

drink you’re serving. Likewise,

spritzing the doormat and

inside of the toilet rolls is a nice

touch for visiting guests.

Scent for the seasons 

Spring: Fresh citrus and light

fl oral scents with herby/moss

undertones work well.

Summer: Floral, citrus or

marine notes will stir memories

of holidays in the sun.

Autumn: Try spicy, warm

ingredients such as ginger,

cumin and cardamom, blended

with the woody notes of

sandalwood or cedar.

Winter: Use warmer notes of

clove, nutmeg, leather and

pinewoods with orange or

mandarin notes.

Forget hygge, 2017 is all about Swedish lagom (pronounced

lar-gom), based on balance, moderation and sustainable

living. And as one of the happiest nations in the world, it

might be worth listening to those Swedes. This super-chic,

super-efficient Contura wood-burner is a good place to start.

LATEST KITCHEN TRENDS

Hidden features and opening functions are allowing

kitchens to appear incredibly sleek and stylish,

with only a wave of the hand or the push of a bu

 on

needed to make taps, sinks and more miraculously

appear. Under-worktop induction hobs will be a key

trend in 2017, according to the Lida Cucina team,

with just a small panel used to control an essentially

invisible hob. See more at lidacucina.co.uk
