Framing your most precious memories isn’t as simple a task as it may sound. You need to do your snaps justice and display them in a way that represents you, your family and friends, while fitting into the style of your home.

Here are some ideas to help you find the perfect way to frame your photos.

1. Structured
If you like neatness, organisation and your interior has clean cut lines then this style of framing is for you and your home.

2. Rustic
If your home is a little bit more cosy and rustic with lots of wood and warm colour then perhaps something like this would be just what you need to display your photos.

3. Kitsch
Do you love bright colours and mismatched delf, furniture, pillows, cushions and just about anything else you can think of? Collecting different size and style frames can add an interesting and great look to your walls as well as telling a story. Why not collect a frame every country you visit?

Nothing is sexier than reading – remember, it was handing over his library that put Beast in Belle’s good books (geddit?).

So why not turn your home into a book haven by cleverly constructing a “book nook” or a reading space.

This can be so easily done by choosing a corner or a window ledge and making it comfortable and cosy with use of blankets, duvets, pillow and even fairy lights.

Spaces like these would be so relaxing and cosy on those cold winter days or lazy summer afternoons. All you need is a coffee and some music to complete a dream day.

Transforming your stairs into book shelves or even just painting classical book names onto your stair crooks can liven up your home and add some personality.

Correct storage and cleaning of your fridge is essential for hygiene. Do you know where your milk is best kept in your fridge? Hint: It’s not on the door.

Top + middle shelves

  • Milk, yoghurt and any other dairy product should be kept on the top shelf and at the back of the fridge as this is where it is coldest. It is also a good idea to store cheeses in a lunchbox.
  • Condiments can be stored on the door of the fridge.
  • Leftovers/cooked meat should be carefully covered and kept on the middle shelf.

Bottom shelf
The bottom shelf is the only shelf that should have any raw meat or fish on it. They should also be covered well; this is too ensure there is no raw meat juices dripping onto any other foodstuffs which can be highly dangerous and very unhygienic.

Fruit and veg drawers
No need to tell you what goes in here surely, it’s in the name! This drawer is for any fruit and veg you have that need to go into the fridge, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, strawberries etc.

Cleaning mirrors and glass can be a pain; streaks, steam and stains can drive you up the wall. These quick and economical cleaning tips are really helpful and will always ensure you can see yourself in your windows and mirrors, what more could you want!

Mirrors

  • The best way to clean mirrors is to use water mixed with washing up liquid and then to wipe it down with kitchen paper. No need to drench it – a little will do. Use more kitchen paper to really bring out that shine and get rid of any streaks.
  • Does it take longer than you have for your mirror to defog after a shower? Use a cloth or kitchen paper and use some shaving foam for a quick fix.

Windows

  • The best way to clean a window is simple, economic and works wonders. Just mix some water with plain old white vinegar, tear up a newspaper and get to work! Soak some of the newspaper in the vinegar mixture and clean all your windows, using extra newspaper to dry and bring up a great shine.

Former star of The Hills and The City, Whitney Port has had an exciting few months, having got engaged to Tim Rosenman, producer of The City, last November.

Whitney let Domaine Home into the loft she shares with her fiancée and reveals that it’s the first time she has ever lived with a boy.

The loft decor is very nature-inspired with plant patterns and soft fabrics. The colours are eclectic and vibrant, with  mustards, navies and intrinsic shapes everywhere.

Whitney’s wardrobe is open-plan, which we love – if you have it, flaunt it! That looks like an amazing collection of clothes, which is no surprise considering Whitney is a clothes designer.

However, having finally finished the decorating, Kourtney is bored already and has decided to put her home on the market.

Fresh herbs add a touch of colour and a subtle sweet smell to your kitchen and are also great to have on hand when cooking.

If you’re like us and terrible at keeping green things alive, here are the four easiest herbs to grow.

1. Mint
Mint can grow fast, so it’s best to keep it in a separate pot to the rest of the herbs. A bit of maintenance is required to grow mint; however it does not require too much light, which makes it perfect for an Irish kitchen.

2. Chives
Chives do not need much light to grow and are easy to maintain.

3. Basil
It’s best to grow basil in the summer months as it requires several hours of sunlight to thrive.

4. Parsley
Parsley can be slow to take off, but once it does it won’t need much light or maintenance.

These small changes will make your life a lot easier – in fact, you’ll wonder how you ever did things differently.

  1. Save the little plastic clips that keep your bread packet closed to organise places where there are lots of cords running. Label the clips with the name of what the cord is for and clip them on. You’ll never accidentally plug out the computer again.
  2. Dropped your favourite earring somewhere around the house but no idea where? Put a piece of tights/pop sock over the base of the hoover securing with a hair bobbin and it will find whatever you need without sucking it up into oblivion.
  3. Are you always putting the wrong keys into the door? Paint your keys with different coloured nail varnish and you’ll never be standing outside in the cold for longer than necessary. You can even let your artistic side out!
  4. Is it getting painful and actually rather dangerous to light your favourite candle, which is almost gone and very hard to light? Instead of trying to stick the lighter/match inside the candle holder, light a long uncooked piece of spaghetti and use that instead to light the wick.
  5. Hate washing up? Having some pizza? Flatten your box and use it as a plate.
