Spring is here! the season when homes wake up from their winter nap and whisper, “Let’s freshen up!” If you’ve been thinking about giving your space a lift, 2025 has brought us some exciting materials, colours, and styles that are equal parts practical and stylish. Think of it as spring cleaning, but with a hammer, paintbrush, and a dash of creativity.
This year’s buzzword is eco-friendly with character.
Reclaimed Timber – Adds warmth, personality, and a story (without the gossip). Perfect for feature walls and shelving.
Micro Terrazzo – Smaller stone chips, but significant impact. It’s artsy, unique, and durable.
Matte Black Finishes – Fixtures and frames in matte black create a bold, modern edge that works in kitchens, bathrooms, and beyond.
Spring 2025 colours bring calmness with a pinch of energy.
Sky Blue – Soft, calming, and pairs beautifully with crisp whites.
Blush Pink – Once “too sweet,” now it’s chic and sophisticated.
Herb Green – Inspired by fresh herbs in your kitchen garden, brings nature indoors.
Renovation styles this spring are all about air, light, and mindfulness.
Biophilic Design – Indoor plants, living walls, and garden-inspired touches make homes feel alive (without the weeds).
Minimalist Open Shelving – Declutter, display, and breathe, your coffee mugs deserve the spotlight too.
Passive Design – Cleverly placed windows and shading keep homes cooler and energy bills lighter.
Did you know? Terrazzo has been around since ancient Venice; it was basically the original recycling project!
Blush pink, once considered a feminine colour, is now viewed as a strong, gender-neutral design choice.
Quick Tip: Not sure about a bold colour? Try it on a small feature wall or shelf first. If it makes you smile every time you walk past, keep it.

Prime Costs (PC) and Provisional Sums (PS) are essential terms in construction quotes. Prime Costs cover allowances for materials like fixtures or appliances that haven't been selected yet, offering flexibility but potentially leading to additional costs if more expensive options are chosen. Provisional Sums are estimates for work not fully defined when quoting, like excavation or retaining walls, and may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Understanding the distinction helps homeowners manage budgets and avoid surprises during the building process.
