NO PLACE LIKE HOME

If, like the majority of couples getting married, you are not moving house at the same time, it is a really good idea to start married life with your house in order. You might want to put a new stamp on your home to mark the start of your life together as a married couple. You will certainly appreciate returning from your honeymoon to find your home looking fresh and organised. Even with the wealth of free advice available through television programmes, newspaper and magazine articles, you could choose to bring in an expert to help you. An interior designer has the training and knowledge to help you to crystallize your ideas as well as offering advice on style, colour and materials. The designer can use their buying power and knowledge to source products and, if you wish, oversee the work to its conclusion.

If this isn’t what you’re looking for, at the very least, make sure you have finished any jobs you have started. If you can, make the time to freshen up a room with a coat of paint or have a thorough spring clean and perhaps re-arrange the furniture. Alternatively, something as simple as going to buy a picture, a mirror or lamp, is all that’s needed to complete a room. Archibalds in Aberdeen has an international selection of accessories, is open seven days and has secure, free car parking. If you work full-time, you will also appreciate that Archibalds operate an enhanced delivery service so that deliveries are made within a 2-hour timeslot.

If you don’t have the time or money for some interior design, do keep your house properly maintained, and, whatever you do, don’t spend that emergency fund of money you have put aside for emergency repairs on your wedding. Memories of sunbathing by the pool will rapidly fade if the central heating fails on your return from honeymoon. If you are proud of your home, it will be a fine place to start your married life.
