6 Ways To Holiday At Home This Summer

With “staycations” looking increasingly likely for summer 2020, we’ve been thinking about some ways to recreate that holiday feeling at home. From the wholesome allure of country life to the lush greenery of the Tropics, it’s time to see your garden in a whole new light.

Escape To The Country

Chaplins

Escape to the country with rustic finishes, teak treasures and the joy of alfresco dining. This trend is all about rediscovering simple pleasures — a meal shared with friends and the tactile delights of beautiful wood craftsmanship. We recommend complementing the palette of earth hues with sunny accents, for a happy, upbeat space.

The Secret Garden

Chaplins

Whether it’s a rolling paddock or a petite urban terrace, there’s always a reason to cultivate a beautiful green space. Where the former is concerned we recommend using statement planters for added lushness. You could also consider investing in a beautiful daybed or outdoor bench that will allow you to soak up the rays in style. Fear not, urban dwellers — they come in all shapes and sizes.

Tropical Hideaway

Chaplins

The allure of the Tropics isn’t hard to understand. The colours are brighter and the landscapes bolder, as nature is given free rein to flourish and grow. While we can’t import the scenery, we can indulge in the style, using beautiful woven furniture and vibrant hues to create a sense of softness and warmth. One of our favourite Eastern imports is the idea of informal outdoor living — think beautiful weather-hardy pouffes that allow for an outdoor picnic or morning mediation.

Indulge In A Midsummer Nights Dream

Chaplins

At Chaplins, we’re fervent believers in using outdoor lighting to open up new possibilities for your garden space. We know there’s nothing better than a summer soiree with family and friends, which is why we encourage you to not let the sun set on yours. For a truly ethereal day-to-night solution, be sure to take a look at our range of outdoor lanterns. Sustainable design lovers should pay special attention to the Gloster lighting collection which, thanks to their award-winning battery, can be charged via solar rays in the summer and the mains during the winter.

Let The Good Times Roll

Chaplins

Eating out is one of the joys of any summer getaway. This season, we’re encouraging you to sharpen up your skills with a sophisticated outdoor kitchen from Röshults. Ranging from portable bbq’s to all-singing, all-dancing grills, they promise to put the fun back into alfresco. If cooking isn’t your forte, you can be sure to keep the drinks flowing and the games running with a handy bar cart or games table.

From Italy, With Love

Chaplins

No one does summer quite like the Italians. If your trip to Lake Como has been cancelled, consider bringing it home with some beautiful Made in Italy design. Sculptural patio sets will help create a true Tuscan feel, with woven chairs and loungers a visual reminder of the artisanal skills of the region. Once you’ve exhausted all the Bruschetta, be sure to have a lay-down on a generous B&B Italia sofa, one of our favourite indoor/outdoor styles this season.

How can Energy Audits inform your Net Zero Strategy?

Image
Many organisations are already in the habit of undertaking energy audits to highlight where energy and water efficiencies can be made, save on utility costs, and reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately, the sad reality of many energy audits and surveys (especially ones that are completed for compliance with ESOS), is that once they are completed, the report is often tucked away into a ‘virtual’ drawer, never to be seen again. But what if there was another use for that forgotten energy audit? Did you know that it could actually be a really useful business tool to help get you started on your net zero journey? To help you harness that data in a practical way, Energy Services Analyst, Rhiannon Farquhar explains what makes energy audits so essential to carbon management and how they can be used to get your business on the path to net zero. So, what are energy audits? To put it simply, an energy audit is an assessment of the energy needs and efficiency of a building (or process), which

Garden Offices | The Ultimate Work from Home Solution for 2021

The Pros and Cons of Working from Home Working from home was not so long ago considered a perk of the job, however, the much-longed-for 30-second commute, for many of us, has finally become a realisation. Prior to the global pandemic, we would have spent 492 days of our lives commuting to and from work and inevitably, Covid-19 has brought about a catalyst of change. Businesses are now seeing the benefits of reducing costs by giving up office spaces, and with commuting now significantly reduced, one of the biggest winners out of this situation is the environment. With this in mind, there’s no doubt that the “new normal” of home working is, quite clearly, here to stay. The general consensus is that working from home is wholly positive and can provide a better work-life balance. Whilst this is true, there is evidence to suggest that this can be quite the opposite, with staff working later than usual as they battle to “switch-off” when their working day is over. So, what’s the solutio

Forgiveness Plan Would Remove One-Third of Students’ Loan Debt

About one in three Idahoans who have federal student-loan debt would see it erased entirely if the Biden administration goes forward with a $10,000 forgiveness plan. That’s according to analysis from the website Student Loan Hero . President Joe Biden is considering eliminating the debt through executive order. Andrew Pentis, a senior writer and certified student loan counselor at Student Loan Hero, said the average monthly loan repayment in Idaho is $274. “Whether you have more or less than $10,000 worth of student loans left to repay, this dose of forgiveness would be hugely helpful, in either getting rid of your debt or shrinking it considerably,” said Pentis. “So certainly, if you’re a borrower in Idaho, you’d be rooting for something like this to happen.” The Trump administration paused federal student loan repayments in March 2020 during the pandemic. Biden extended the pause on his first day in office through at least October 1. Some Democrats want the Biden administration
