w hat brightens your day? Something profound like timeless design, or simple like that first sip of morning coffee? Discovering covetable new finds, having a nose round a gorgeous home, planning a holiday and whipping up a recipe that has culinary genius written all over it, but took only 20 minutes thats what does it for us, and what prompted us to launch

ACHICA Living magazine. We hope you have as much fun reading it as we did putting it together

6!"#$%&'(&)#*+Admit it. Youve still got a lime-coloured top at the back of your wardrobe that you bought a few summers ago. It looked great by the pool on holiday, but back home it seems less zesty, so you relegated it and the colour in general to the dustbin of styles past. However, as part of an interiors palette, limes muted qualities are a very good thing. A non- neutral neutral, it adds colour without overpowering, peps up whites and creams, lifts purples and tones down bold patterns. Its calming and uncomplicated. Kermit may have felt otherwise, but this season its easy being green.

Refresh your home with some clever tweaks and give your space the now factor

No, not that wet afternoon spent battling the elements in Worthing, but the sunny Mediterranean beach where the sun warmed your face, the sand tickled your toes and the sea was inviting a shimmering blend of cool blues and greens. This season, translate that look to your home with accents of aqua in all its variations. Its a soothing scheme the shades complement rather than compete, without being too matchy-matchy, creating an ocean-inspired oasis of calm.

tCool colours recede and warm ones

come to the fore. Make a room appear

larger by using a wallpaper with a light

background and a small pattern.

tA bigger pattern will close in on a

room, as will one printed in colour

rather than white. A bold wallpaper

could transform a small, dark space

such as a downstairs loo, however.

tIf youre using a striped wallpaper,

consider the effect it will have

whether hung from floor to ceiling

or just above or below a dado rail,

vertical stripes can alter our perception

of its height, making them ideal

for a low-ceilinged space.

To enter: To be in with a chance of winning, simply log in online at www.achicaliving.com/olympics and fill out your details answering the following question:How many artists are included in the Limited Edition Collector's Box Set of Artist's Prints?

WIN LONDON 2012 LIMITED

EDITION ART PRINT COLLECTOR'S BOX SET

Since 1912, each Olympic host city has commissioned art work to celebrate the games. Previous artists have included David Hockney, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein and for London 2012 the list of UK artists chosen was unveiled at Tate Britain at the start of November. We are giving one lucky ACHICA Living reader the chance to win a Limited Edition Box Set of Artist's Prints. The Olympic Committee has worked in collaboration with the 12 chosen artists, Tracy Emin, Rachel Whiteread and Howard Hodgkin to name but a few, to produce a Limited Edition Collector's Box Set of all 12 artworks representing the London 2012 games.

Each fine art print has been created by the artist and printed on 30 x 30cm 250gsm archive paper. The collectors box, hinged and finished in black and gold, is individually numbered and also contains a numbered certificate of authenticity along with a booklet: 'Behind The Art', which gives some background and details on each piece of artwork and the artist's inspiration. This is where it gets very exciting: ACHICA has acquired an exclusive quantity of these Limited Edition Collector's Box Sets of all 12 artworks, numbered and with authentic certificates. This collectable has inherent monetary value and because of the very nature of it being an artwork and a limited edition, it will retain its value. However, we at ACHICA Living want to share this wonderful art work with you so we are giving you the chance to win an exclusive collector's set of your own.

TERMS & CONDITIONS: You must be aged 18 or over to enter. One entry per reader. First prize is a London 2012 Limited Edition Art Print Collector's Box Set and there is no cash alternative. The winner will be chosen at random on Monday 14 May 2012 by ACHICA Livings editor. Standard ACHICA terms & conditions apply.

!"#$%&'(&!$)$)*$!1 Avoid hanging art on narrow walls instead, use the largest wall in the room, opposite a window or above a fireplace. If you opt for the latter, keep the proportions of the artwork similar to those of the fireplace. 2 When hanging a canvas, ensure that the middle is positioned roughly at eye level.3 If you have a collection of small pictures, dont spread them out around the room hang them in groups to create an interesting and eclectic mix of images.4 Think about the colour scheme of your room. If the space has strong bold blocks or striped wallpaper, consider retro images or prints. If the tones are more subdued, be confident in your choice and use the neutral backdrop as a frame for the canvas.

ZIA ALLAWAY talks to TV presenter and garden guru ANDY STURGEON about how he created this stunning modern space

MAKE FEATHERED FRIENDS Take a tip from top twitcher Chris Packham of TVs Springwatch and put up a few nesting boxes to lure an array of beautiful birds into your garden. They can be fussy about their digs, so buy open-fronted boxes such as this one from Chapelwood (chapelwoodwildlife.co.uk), as well as some with small entry holes for little birds. Place them in a sheltered area, two metres from the ground, and youll soon be rewarded.

Nesting boxes, growing your own fruit and veg, and flowers made easy

!"#$%'"%#$()%*+!,%#-%,.'/,

If you thought growing potatoes was only for those with an allotment, think again.

Planting spuds couldnt be easier, even in a small space. Place a few seed potatoes in an

egg box indoors in a cool, light spot to sprout and by May theyll be ready to plant outside.

If your gardens tiny, use a patio planting bag with a decorative willow surround,

such as this one from Harrod Horticultural (harrodhorticultural.com). Put a 20cm layer

of John Innes No 3 compost in the bottom, plant four potatoes, shoots pointing upwards, and cover with another layer of compost. As the

plants grow, add more compost to cover the stems, which will then develop additional

roots and potatoes, until the bag is full. Then leave the plants to grow until ready to harvest in summer when the flowers open.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! Be ruthless with daffodils and nip off blooms as soon as they fade. This encourages them to divert their energies into developing plump bulbs for next years display, rather than producing seed heads.

GO CONTINENTALThe French and Italians have style in spades, and their plants are just as chic. Give your garden a Mediterranean vibe with classic, sweetly scented lavender, adding a new twist with this cute cupcake planter from Garden Beet (gardenbeet.com) ideal for decorating an outdoor dining area.

SOW RIGHTWow your neighbours with a blaze of colour this summer [rkZblbg`Zhp^kr[hgZgsZfrom seed. While everyone will be impressed by your horticultural prowess, many blooms are actually really easy to grow. Try half-hardy plants, such as cosmos, zinnias Zg][^]]bg`]ZaebZlma^rk^almost foolproof. Visit our blog for successful-sowing tips.

!"#$%&'##()*+',-!)*.#'/'#Summer parties are simply not complete without a bowl of fresh strawberries to tempt your guests, but, this year, steer clear of shop-bought and grow your own theyll be sweeter and juicier. If you order a range of plants that ripen at different times from a nursery such as Suttons Seeds (suttons.co.uk), youll have sufficient supplies for delicious desserts the whole season through.

PLANT OF THE MONTH: CAMELLIA Like Russell Grant shooting from the Strictly Come Dancing cannon, camellias burst from their buds to perform a star turn this month. The queens of the spring garden, they outshine the rest of the pack with a dazzling display of exotic-looking blooms in pink, red and white. Visit a specialist nursery such as Trehane (trehane.co.uk) for the widest choice and unbeatable expert advice.

THE FOOD$Steves knack for unusual

combinations sets the restaurant apart

a current winning combination, for

example, is a dessert of blackberries and parsnip

parfait with sorrel ice and yoghurt. Asked to

sum up his approach to food, he says, Creativity

and simplicity of flavour.

THE DCOR$A recent dramatic refit sees the original wood beams of the main restaurant exposed. Meanwhile, an oak-panelled room has been transformed into a snug bar for pre- and post-dinner drinks when the British weather dictates that Drakes beautiful garden is not a viable option.
