LIVING ROOM FIT-OUT? We know that British couples have an average of 2.4 children, but did you know there’s an average UK living room too? Data from premier furniture retailer
Taskers.com has revealed a photo-fit of the nation’s most likely living room, created using sales and search data over the last 12 months, which reveals that we’re most likely to have a grey two-seater sofa, a colourful accent chair, an industrial style coffee table and vintage style floor lamps. Scoring three or more of the most
popular furniture must-haves puts you top of the trends in the interior design stakes. • More than a quarter of Brits (28%) opted for a grey sofa in the last 12 months, making the neutral tone the 2019 colour of choice.
VOLUNTEERS TACKLE GARDEN CHALLENGE
Seven senior Kent executives from the UK’s largest housebuilder Barratt Developments spent a day helping restore a bungalow owned by Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) so it can be used as a temporary home for a family in need during the charity’s centenary year. The team tackled the overgrown
garden of the bungalow on Hermitage Lane, Aylesford, as part of Barratt’s ongoing relationship with the charity, which provides support, employment and accommodation for veterans, their families and people with disabilities.
This comes after Barratt Developments made a £750,000 donation to RBLI’s
Centenary Appeal, which is looking to raise £14 million to create a specialist Centenary Village for veterans and their families. The team of seven comprised Paul Kitchingman, managing director Barratt Homes Kent; Natalie Perry, sales and marketing director; Simon Banfield, finance director; Bruce Constantine, construction director; Luke Cooper, senior land manager; Gerry Mangan, technical director; and Colin Apps, commercial director. The group then ended the day attending
RBLI’s staff awards, handing out the RBLI’s Chairman’s Special Recognition Award. The Centenary Village will include an assisted living scheme, extending the care and support service by a further 24 units, each adapted and capable of meeting the needs of some of the most vulnerable residents. A further 24 new apartments, costing £1.3 million and designed to be fully accessible, will house single veterans in urgent need alongside 20 new family homes in a mix of town and mews-style housing. • Visit

• The once commonplace black leather sofa was the least popular style of the last year (3%) – seeing the biggest decline in popularity. • However, the popular and subtle Scandi sofa designs were offset with pops of colour, with midnight blue (10%) and emerald green (8%) making the top five sofa and chair colour choices. • Single accent chairs in bright colours have seen a 30% surge in sales, making them one of this year’s must-have home items. • Despite being a desirable luxury, corner group sofas made up just 9% of the leading furniture retailer’s sales, with furniture-buyers more likely to opt for two and three-seat models. When it comes to home lighting, the industrial trend also leads the pack, with tripod film lights and anglepoise lamps quickly becoming a must-have for every home in 2019, followed by contemporary chrome and glass free- standing models. • Visit
