In theory, the start of a new year is a fabulous time to tackle a major declutter. But in practice, it can be a bit more complicated.

Cozy was the name of the interiors game for several seasons, but we’re now seeing a revival of sleeker design styles, topped with high-gloss finishes. If you’re picturing ultramodern, futuristic design, don’t fret—you don’t need metal to achieve this look. Glass finishes are a modern way to create high-end shine that feels sophisticated and unique.
Transparent window panes usually come to mind first when we think of glass finishes, but the material offers so much more than that—and in so many more places. With a plethora of colors, sizes, and details to boast, glass can help achieve interior design looks all the way from super modern to very vintage. To help you incorporate all kinds of glitzy details in your home design, no matter your decor style, we spoke to an expert for some tips on bringing glass into the mix. So, if you’re thinking of giving glass a go, read on for everything you need to know about the look.
Glass finishes offer something fresh, and a different look from the comfy and tactile trends that have reigned supreme for quite some time. This finish is a clear contrast to the lush textures and bright colors that are taking over many of this year’s maximalist-style design trends. Plus, it’s been around for quite some time, so you know it’s a material you can rely on (that also won’t go out of style in the months to come).
“Glass is having a moment as it’s a well-known and trusted material that works well in design schemes from traditional to modern,” says Jason Saft, an interior designer and award-winning home stager based in New York City. “Glass is versatile, affordable and easy to work with. Not to mention it can give a space the shine it needs to go from basic to eclectic.”

Peach Leaf Curl – and how to avoid it
Peach leaf curl is a fungal disease that distorts the leaves of peaches and nectarines, and sometimes also apricots. The leaves crumple and thicken, and often have red blistery patches. Ultimately they fall off, and if your peach tree only has a handful of leaves left, it’s obvious that it won’t perform well.

How to move plants – and keep them alive
If you’re wondering how to move plants, remember that deciduous trees and shrubs – those that lose their leaves during winter – are dormant now, so this is the best time to uproot them. Any time during autumn and spring when the branches are bare will minimise the upheaval to them. Evergreens can be moved too, but you are better off waiting until late March for those, when the soil is starting to warm up again.

Recycle your Christmas tree
Most councils will recycle your Christmas tree, but little is as sad, in those grey days post-Christmas, than the sight of enormous piles of discarded trees at drop-off points, waiting to be collected. Councils normally shred them and use the chippings as mulches in parks or woodland areas, so there’s nothing to stop you doing the same at home.
