Stack Up Some Autumn Style

Create a smart log storage area now and keep your firewood dry, tidy and ready for cosy evenings

As autumn approaches, there is something wonderfully inviting about having a good supply of logs ready for the cooler evenings. Creating a dedicated log storage area is a practical outdoor improvement that can also add character to your garden.

Choose a sheltered spot that is convenient for bringing logs indoors, ideally with plenty of airflow to help keep them dry. A simple timber log store can provide an attractive solution, while a purpose built shelter can offer additional protection from rain and wind.

Think about how your storage area fits into the wider garden. Natural timber can complement planting beautifully, while climbing plants or discreet screening can help it blend into the surroundings.

Keeping logs neatly stacked also prevents them from becoming an eyesore and makes them much easier to access when needed.

By creating a dedicated log storage area this September, you can combine practicality with style and make sure your home is ready for plenty of warm, relaxing autumn evenings.

The average home has gained 15.3% in value

UK homeowners have seen significant value growth over the past five years

Sellers have plenty of reasons to feel encouraged by new analysis, which reveals that the average UK home has increased in value by 15.3% since 2021. That equates to an average gain of around £36,100, highlighting the longer-term value many homeowners have built up in their properties.

Zoopla analysed 32 million UK home values and found that property values have increased in 25 of the last 30 years, reinforcing the long-term appeal of home ownership. While annual growth cannot be guaranteed, the fact that persistent declines are extremely rare provides further reassurance for homeowners considering a sale.

Regional markets have performed differently, too, with particularly strong value growth recorded across areas including the Northwest, Scotland and Yorkshire and the Humber. For sellers, understanding how their own local market has performed could reveal just how much value their property has gained.

Make Your Fireplace the Star of Autumn

Give your fireplace some attention and create a beautiful focal point for cosy autumn evenings

As temperatures begin to fall, the fireplace naturally becomes one of the most inviting features in the home. September is an ideal time to give yours a refresh, ensuring it looks its best before those cooler evenings arrive.

Start by giving the surround and hearth a thorough clean, removing any dust or marks that have built up over time. If the fireplace looks dated, consider painting the surround in a complementary shade or updating the hearth for a more contemporary finish.

You can also introduce stylish accessories to complete the look. A statement mirror, artwork, candles, or carefully chosen ornaments can help create a welcoming focal point without major work.

For homes without a working fireplace, an electric stove or decorative fireplace can provide a similar sense of warmth and character.

Refreshing your fireplace this September can transform the atmosphere of your living space, creating a stylish centrepiece that is ready for plenty of cosy autumn evenings.
