| Take a tour of this unique two-bedroom home set in Britain's first eco village Posted: 11 Apr 2021 04:00 AM PDT Eco housing is designed and built using materials and technology that reduces their carbon footprint. This development in the leafy south-London suburb of Hackbridge has paved the way as the first environmentally friendly development of its kind in the UK.
Helios Road, built-in 2002, is formed of 100 homes and has shared facilities that are used to host gardening and crafting clubs, exercise and meditation classes, and even a Christmas craft fair. It’s been built with a strong emphasis on roof gardens, sunlight, solar energy, reduction of energy consumption and wastewater recycling – so as a homeowner you can be really proud of where you live. Plus, Helios Road was built with the aim of providing warm, comfortable and cheaper-to-run homes. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Let’s take a look at one of the homes up for sale… Helios Road Image credit: The Modern House Part of Beddington Zero Energy Development (BedZED), a collaboration between architect Bill Dunster, environmental agency Bioregional, and Arup engineers, this modern-look, two-bedroom house has a striking brick, wood and glass facade. Built using natural, recycled and reclaimed materials, all of the wood used has been approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (or comparable internationally recognised environmental organisations). Over half of the construction materials were sourced from no further than 35 miles away. Another great factor is that most of the homes in this development are south-facing, so this house is heated by solar gain, thanks also to its high level of insulation. Dining space Image credit: The Modern House Inside, the ground floor is open-plan with soaring double-height ceilings. The current owners commissioned floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the dining space, which sit between the doors to the bedroom and study. You’ll notice there’s an industrial feel throughout, but the soft pink tone on the walls here and the rustic wood table help keep it from feeling stark. Kitchen Image credit: The Modern House On the other side of the room, the kitchen features plywood cabinetry and a cork floor, cementing its eco look and feel. Now, it’s not a huge kitchen, but every bit of space has been well thought out, even down to hanging your pans overhead and a slot in the cabinetry for trays and breadboard. Speaking of breadboards, spot the pig designs sitting above the washing machine! For more clever kitchen storage ideas check out our gallery for inspiration. Mezzanine Image credit: The Modern House Upstairs, a bright mezzanine level overlooks the living area below, and it’s a space that can be used in a variety of ways, whether you have it as a home office, another bedroom or just a spot to sit and relax. The industrial aesthetic creeps in again with exposed pipework and painted brick walls, but it’s all softened with the peppermint wall colour and a mix of plants that gives this space a lived-in botanical vibe. Bedroom Image credit: The Modern House One of the two bedrooms is situated on the ground floor and it’s a lovely light space that’s brightened all the more by its white walls and pale-blue bed linen. Wood floors, window frames and a matching wood bed frame emphasise the eco feel. Communal gardens Image credit: The Modern House Outside, a large communal meadow offers expansive gardens and vegetable plots, so you can grow your own organic produce.  Image credit: The Modern House There’s also an outdoor gym – can you see yourself doing your daily workout here?
It’s certainly a house with a difference and boasts lots more eco-credentials than we’ve mentioned. Up for sale at £360,000, you can find out more about Helios Road at The Modern House here. Are you tempted to fully commit to an eco-friendly home? The post Take a tour of this unique two-bedroom home set in Britain's first eco village appeared first on Ideal Home.  |
| IKEA is selling a clever balcony table perfect for alfresco dining in the smallest of spaces Posted: 10 Apr 2021 11:00 PM PDT Do you have a tiny balcony or outdoor space you’re not really sure what to do with, but know it’s got potential? This new release from IKEA might just be the answer. Small spaces present a number of design challenges, but there are all kinds of balcony garden ideas out there to help you make them work.
This IKEA balcony table, for example, measuring just 50x35cm is a fantastic solution. Simply attach the Torparo balcony table to your railings et voilà, you have a lovely spot to enjoy an alfresco morning coffee or after-WFH drink. The IKEA balcony table Image credit: IKEA The product’s sturdy and simple design, and weather-resistant materials make it really practical. And, since it’s just £15, you simply can’t go wrong. The little table isn’t just for balconies, as it could be attached to any outdoor space with a railing, such as a patio. It’s also worth noting that it comes in a few different sizes to fit your space, so check the IKEA website for more details.  Image credit: IKEA You could even try using the balcony table as part of an outdoor home office, so you can catch some rays while ticking off your to-do list. Even if you have to retreat inside after a while, it’s always good to mix it up. This is one of the best outdoor furniture pieces we’ve seen this year that’s designed for city dwellers and those in flats. It could also form a great garden bar idea, providing a side table to keep cocktail shakers and ingredients to hand. A little care will keep it looking good for years to come. So, remember to clean it regularly with ‘mild soapy solution’, as stated on the IKEA website, and dry it with a dry cloth. You can also help to extend its life by ‘not leaving it outdoors unprotected more than necessary’.  Image credit: IKEA
The IKEA Torparo series also comprises foldable, stackable outdoor chairs, each at a low price point – so the items suit small spaces and small budgets. If you’re looking for inspiration on things to grow in your balcony space, our guide on how to grow your own veg on a windowsill or balcony will certainly help. Will you be buying a balcony table?
