Spring Trends You Need

6 March 2018

With spring fast approaching it’s time to embrace change and add a little something new to your home. Here are our tips on how you can add or update your style, taking the very best inspiration from the design Gods of 2018.

Key design trends for spring 2018 are daring, colourful and exciting. It’s time to embrace your inner flair and be bold and brave whilst doing so. There is no holding back anymore; anticipate patterns, rich hues, velvet tones and gold, copper or brass accessories.

Influential Interior Designer Matthew Williamson released his 2018 collection which personifies the very essence of jewel-like glamour mixed with warm, opulent fabrics.

Lush emerald green strikes again this spring, particularly against other on-trend interior pieces, such as dark wood furniture. Although we saw this tropical-inspired trend arrive towards the end 2017 its legacy still firmly remains and is undoubtedly one of the must-have colours for your home in 2018.

If this is a little too bold for you, stick to the green palette but use a softer shade such as sage. It’s all about bringing the outdoors in for S/S 2018, the sage green colour palette is simply gorgeous and right on-trend.

Designs receiving the most attention and proving the most popular in the look-books are those that use foliage and botanical prints, as well as the real thing. This is enhanced with impressive prints against natural stone flooring. It’s time to invest in some houses plants and bring the outside in.

Marble is increasingly popular and making even more headway in the must-have homes. Marble never goes out of fashion, to be fair, however now marble interiors are not only found in the bathroom and kitchen, but also in living rooms and hallways. We’re seeing beautiful, well placed, real marble, marble-effect or marble inspired, from floors and walls to cushions and bedding. Marble is one of the most searched things on Pintrest at the moment; is it time you had your Marble moment?

Other experts voiced the 2018 colour of choice as ultra-violet, proving this year really is about thinking outside the box. Are you ready to embrace spring?

It’s time to choose your accent colour and step into spring with a new colour by your side.

Lovett REVIEWS

We struggled for months trying to find our first letting, no other estate agents in the area have what Lovett have. A great selection of properties and a great selection of employees. From the start Natalia was prompt and welcoming responding to our enquiries, arranging a viewing for practically the same day! Duanne showed us around what is now our new home, she was friendly, informative and dealt with our application very efficiently. Within the next few days Duanne, Louise and Abi, had all our paper work put together. We had never rented before, however communication with the Lovett staff made it seem a very easy process. Within a few weeks we had our keys (With Abi happily staying in office later on a bank holiday weekend, as we were late - sorry Abi🙂)very impressed with our new home! Many thanks to you all.

This was a grateful experience, Duanne was very polite and pleasant with us and one thing that caught our attention was after seeing the property Duanne gave us a brochure with photos and descriptions of the place, that was very well presented and easy to understand.

Abbey was fantastic. Professional and helpful without any of the stereotypical clichéd estate agent traits. I would fully recommend Lovett and especially Abbey.

We're first time buyers and have spent 6 long and at times painful months going through what turned out to be a very extended process. Clair Clarke was with us every step of the way and went above and beyond at each stage. She was in regular contact with me throughout - far more than the solicitor - weekly and towards the end, daily, to keep me updated and informed of action between all parties. She's approachable and professional and I'd definitely recommend her to others. 5*+!

Lovett’s have been amazing from start to finish with my sale, Dave, poppy, Josh and Roxy in the office have been fabulous! I originally lost my 1st sale due to issue with my maintenance company however poppy managed to get property re sold within 48 hours of losing my 1st buyer.Also cannot forget Clair, the Sale Progressor! She was constantly on the ball making sure everything was going through smoothly constantly updating me along the journey and of course answering my silly questions.Honestly I highly recommend using Lovett’s they have been wonderful from start to finish! Thank you guys for your support!

I highly recommend Lovett International, they are professional, friendly and efficient. I had my property valued, on the market and sold within weeks, I couldn't have been more impressed. Everyone I dealt with were super friendly and went out of their way to help. Thank you Lovett International

Lovetts were a joy to deal with throughout the sale of our apartment, from the initial contact with David, through to Josh who handled many of the viewings and Poppy who secured the sale and Claire who handled the completion and sale. A great team who did all they could to get us a proceedable buyer and a swift sale. Thank you all.

Since the summer of 2020 I have instructed Lovett on 5 occasions. I have taken the decision to sell our small portfolio of Leasehold flats that have served us well for the best part of 20 years. Time to move on to other projects.It's been a long journey that has culminated in the last two exchanging contracts within 24 hours of each other.The service we have had has been exemplary and special note has to be made of the effort that has been made by Clair Clarke who has steered all the sales from start to finish.Big weight off our shoulders as I write this. Cheers everybody 10 out 10.Ian and Christine.

James and Abbey and the team at Poole worked really hard with the sale of our property, they set up a whole day of constant viewings, leading to offers, the photos taken were exceptional and showed the property off really well.James was very supportive even with our purchase, advising us when we definitely needed advice, not having moved for over 30 years. Several purchases fell through and he kept both our purchasers and ourselves updated, helping to push and progress our purchase when needed.The sale went on for several months due to us losing properties and he managed to keep our buyer involved.No hesitation in recommending Lovett Estate agents in Parkstone they are a professional, supportive, friendly team.

I have been dealing with Roxy and Clair in the purchase of my home and they have been amazing. Roxy met me at the property numerous times and they were both very understanding of my situation and timescales and did their best to push things through as quickly as they could.Thanks so much for getting me in before the deadline! :-)

We used Lovett for the sale of our property, it has been a very long process for us (through no fault of Lovett) and we have received a very good service from all that we dealt with throughout. One star lost through some minor issues early on in the process, including loss of our house key, but the situation was dealt with well and rectified. The sales progressor, Clair Clarke definitely warrants a specific mention as she was exceptional. Thank you all!

Just completed on sale of a flat in Boscombe. Long drawn out process through no fault of the agents which I don't think would ever have gone through if it was not for the fantastic job done by the 'sale chaser' Clair Clark. Everyone we dealt with at Lovetts were professional, well informed, courteous and always responded quickly to any queries but Clair was a particular diamond. Prior to selling the flat was let via Lovett International for some time and the lettings department were also first class. Would not consider using any other agent in the area

With Lovetts, I felt in very safe hands.James and Abbey were exceptional! Always keeping me informed and their professionalism and enthusiasm is second to none. They worked so hard for me and really go above and beyond.I highly recommend Lovetts.

Brilliant estate agency!If you are a newbie like us, it's definitely the go to estate agency as they will guide you through the process and help you find the mortgage advisor that you are looking for and the solicitors.Special thanks to James who kept us informed during the whole process, providing updates and prompt replies to enquiries and Abbey who was the first one to see at the house and the one who handed us the key.We are looking forward to collaborate in the future!Thank you!

Fantastic local estate agent. Got an offer at asking price within two days and helped a rather struggled purchase through to completion. Straight onto any issues and helpful at every possibility. Clair Clarke who helped with completion of the sale was brilliant. Thank you for your assistance.

We’ve just completed on our first home, James and Abbey made the whole process stress free. Abbey was the agent that first showed us the property and she was lovely and told us loads of information. James was very good at keeping us updated throughout the whole process never felt like it was hard to get hold of anyone so we always knew what was happening! Would highly recommend😊

I recently bought a flat through Lovetts in Bournemouth, they were fantastic throughout the process, Clair in particular was very responsive and contacted the vendors for me with several questions, which really sped the whole process up.

Me and my husband just purchased a house through Lovetts and I can't complain at all! We did have a bit of a long journey before finally exchanging which was stressful but Clair who was our main contact towards the end made sure to always keep us in the loop and worked so hard to get everything sorted, she was lovely to deal with! Would definitely recommend 😊😊

Jennifer J.

19:46 20 Aug 21

We bought a flat through Lovetts and have had friendly and professional service from start to end. We cannot thank Clair enough for her help throughout our sale. She has always been at the end of the phone to answer any questions we have and has always kept us updated in a timely fashion. Massive thanks to the whole team!

I researched about 4 different Letting Agents. I liked the rates charged by Lovett the most, and although all the agents were lovely, I decided to go with Cailey. I was not disappointed and a lovely new tenant the next day at the full rental price agreed.

For some, selling a property is a rare experience that requires guidance and clear explanations with a prompt response to questions asked. By introducing the team members who will play key roles in the sales process it gave me more understanding of the timescales and processes, all very helpful when I am in a different country and restricted by travel regulations due to the pandemic. I felt reassured on many occasions when contacting any of the team by phone - they all understood my property and where we were in the sales process, making me feel valued. A great professional team. Thank you.

Thank you all at lovetts Poole. For your great service. Great people you did everything possible that you could do to help me. Knowing that I am not the easiest person to deal with they were really on the ball very professional. They deserve 6 stars thank you James and Abbey very much again for all your help and your hard work 👍

This was such a positive experience from viewing to getting the keys. They treat you like a human being and not just a number. They consider everything and are very warm and welcoming (which I've never experienced with a letting agency) Cailey in particular was fantastic she was friendly, helpful, professional and patient. She supported us throughout the whole process that could have been very stressful but she made ita breeze. Would recommend to all!! Best experience I've ever had with letting agent.

James, Abbey and the team did an amazing job for us in successfully marketing our property and then helping to complete the sale.The photos and video they put together were professional and of high quality- it generated instantly a full week of viewings.We didn’t though need the full week - it sold after the viewings on the first day, with many offers tabled by very happy prospective buyers.Lovett then recommended a conveyancing team who completed in six weeks, with James continuing to support both the buyers and us with questions and any paperwork etc.Lovett had successfully rented the property out for us for two years previously and we are delighted with their service over the years.Highly recommend them across all their branches in the area.

This is the first review in 40 years i have given regarding an estate agent.James came as agreed, took photo's and a video tour, and put the house on the market the next day as he said. We then received a call and email confirmations from Abbey regarding 8 viewings within 24 hours and have accepted an offer. (not the highest). The service and professionalism has been second to none. Fantastic service, really pro-active and extremely well escorted viewings by Abbey amazing to say the least. Thank you and can't recommend Lovett's enough.

Mark K.

16:34 22 Mar 21

I would highly recommend the team at Lovett - they say moving house is one of the most stressful events in your life and they are not kidding BUT Clair supported me through the whole process, she went way above my expectations. The quality and attention to detail of the sales team was excellent - I was regularly kept up to-date with what was happening on the general market but also provided with solutions to ensure I secured a buyer to a successful conclusion. I cant thank them all enough.

Sandra S.

14:35 09 Mar 21

Lovetts have looked after our rental property for over 7 years with faultless expertise. Staff are always friendly & willing to help nothing is too much trouble. On selling our property they have been exemplary & we would recommend them to anybody wishing to sell or let a property.We would like to thank James, Poppy, Annabelle, Emma, Abbey, Zdenka & most of all Clair for their fantastic help & support over the years from letting to selling our property.

I found Lovetts to be the best estate agents I’ve dealt with when buying a property.Quite a long and sometimes frustrating process was made a lot more bearable by the professionalism and helpfulness of the Lovetts staff, especially Clair.I would definitely recommend and I would happily use their services again.

Damian G.

19:05 17 Feb 21

Amazing experience with the team, first of all James was fantastic showing me around the property. Then Clair took over to deal with the next stages, who was amazing, so responsive, friendly and just gets the job done. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through the process. Thank you to the whole team!

Marta Z.

17:16 05 Feb 21

Found Lovett to be very prompt and professional as well as pleasant to deal with. Clair, Julian and Abbey were all very good. Unfortunately our purchase fell through at a late stage but this was no fault of Lovett. I'd be very happy to deal with them again in the future.

As a buyer of a house through Lovett I experienced a first-class service. They are always willing to go the extra mile and provide a very professional service. Clair and David were great agents throughout the process and were very helpful. I would highly recommend using Lovett International.

Tom H.

10:14 11 Nov 20

Very professional and proactive. When selling our house, their proposals resulted in finding a buyer very quickly and though the legal and financial process (through no fault of Lovett) was problematic and stressful at times, Lovett worked non-stop to see it through to completion. The entire team were excellent but a special mention for Clair Clarke who managed the sales progression, tirelessly chasing solicitors, brokers and buyers, and providing frequent updates to us throughout. Outstanding.

Stu

I've bought a house through Lovett and now they have found tenants for another property of mine. The staff are so professional and always have a smile. They listened to what I wanted and found what I wanted - well done.

16:33 03 Nov 20

Abbey has been a great help in my search for a new home. Professional, knowledgable, friendly, very helpful in communicating with the seller to help ease what would otherwise have been a stressful move, and a fantastic sense of humour. Thank you Abbey!
