It ended with our students challenging themselves to break a wooden board with the palm of their hands... they were surprised by what they can achieve.
Wondering what the new year holds in store for interiors? Here are some of the window treatment trends we’ll be keeping an eye on in 2021.

Warm neutrals: More than ever after 2020, we’re looking at our homes as tranquil retreats from a chaotic world. Calming, neutral tones take the lead - and although greys and whites continue to be popular, interior palettes are warming up. For contemporary neutrals consider colours like cream, oatmeal, sand and taupe.
Fear not though - neutrals don’t have to mean boring! Play on light and dark variations, subtle patterns and layering textures to keep things interesting.
Maximalism: In complete contrast to calming neutrals, maximalism is all about embracing clashing patterns, saturated colours and dynamic interior combinations.
Forget “less is more” - be bold and bring a little fun into your home this year!
Smart technology: Open and close your window treatments at the touch of a button with a remote or mobile app - or add them to your home automation system. Motorisation is taking off in Kiwi homes and curtains and blinds are no exception.
With an app you can pre-set your window treatments to open or close on a timer or do it instantly from your phone - even when you’re not at home.

It is one year since we went in to lockdown. Do you have a favourite memory or an image from level four lockdown, you would like to share.
Teddy bears in windows, messages on pavements, and lines at the supermarket, these are the moments that defined lockdown.

Autumn is the perfect time of year to get your roof sprayed for lichen, moss and mould.

The reason for this is because the safest chemicals require about 6 months and plenty of rain to fully complete their job.
After the chemicals are sprayed onto the roof they need around 4-6 hours of 'dry time'. This allows it to set onto the roof surface. After this, the chemicals will only reactivate when there is rainfall.
As Autumn and Winter is when we see the most rain, it is the optimal time to spray your roof.

I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.
