If you’re looking for ways to brighten up your home or want to find out the latest trends, where can you go? Maybe you’re planning a new orangery or conservatory for your home and want to know how to decorate it. Here are the top 8 places in and around Milton Keynes where you can find some inspiration for your home and garden.
New builds
There’s nothing better sometimes than wandering around new build showrooms. They are always immaculately decorated with the most modern trends and colours. From spotlights to beautiful marble worktops and a monochrome colour scheme. New builds will also enjoy the most efficient windows and doors so you can see how these would look in your own home. Even if you’re not looking to buy, you could find the perfect new living room or kitchen design for your home. Have a browse around Oakgrove Village or Whitehouse Park to find your dream design.
Local garden centres
Your local garden centre might not be your first choice for home improvement ideas but they’re often bursting with ideas. They will be full of ways to plan your garden to incorporate outdoor living with your new conservatory. Garden centres also often have a home section where you could find some beautiful items to add to your house as well as decorating tips. From Dobbie’s to Woburn Sands, visit a garden centre to see what inspiration you can find.
The countryside
If you’re a fan of nature, why not bring some into your home? Milton Keynes is well-known for being the planned ‘city in the forest’ and is surrounded by beautiful parks and woodlands. Take a walk around Hazeley Wood or Waterhall Park and see if this gets your creative juices flowing. Spending some time outside will allow you to appreciate nature more. From adding a touch of green to your colour scheme or adding house plants to blending your home and garden.
Home improvement and furnishing stores
National home improvement chains such as B&Q, Ikea and Dunelm can be great ways to find your next home project. From seeing a new layout for your bedroom to finding a new paint colour that you love, these stores allow you to get a feel before you decide.
Garden shows
