Employees used to have a right to appeal against redundancy but this was repealed at the beginning of April. Consider having a follow-up meeting to ensure they are given the positive message that the company has a future and they are valued. Dealing with it fairly will make a big difference to howit is received and howquickly your organisation can move on. Ensure you have received the correct payment.
Make sure that you have been paid for any outstanding holiday or expenses. There are jobs out there so use every means available —call all your old contacts, use networking sites and register with agencies. Contact your GP if you feel overwhelmed —depression is a not uncommon reaction to being made redundant.
Below the his-and-hers basins, it combines roomy cupboard storage for tall bottles and bulky items with a central section of display shelving. Beautiful veneers and natural stone add character — and they make storage look interesting and elegant, rather than bland. In my experience, the more storage you have, the more you store! His recent projects have featured the Agape Flat XL range of furniture, shown here in medium oak veneer with Agape Square floor-standing taps and glass basin, mounted on a peninsula table.
The wall-hung units have open shelving and drawers for storage. The units can also be put on the floor on castors, rather than mounted on the wall or on the counter top, enabling them to be pulled into position around the room. One at basin level or above for things like toothpaste and cosmetics, and one below for towels and loo rolls.
However, with one press on the touch-screen remote control, a television screen, framed in black velvet, emerges from behind the two central panels of the feature wall while speakers drop down automatically from the ceiling to direct the sound towards the seating positions.
And then, from a TV viewing room, the space can be transformed into a 7ft projection home cinema. A projector screen drops down from the boxed ceiling detail, as does a projector. And to complete the entertainment offering, two low-level cupboards either side of the feature wall store games consoles and DVDs. Each of the square veneer panels has angled edges that serve as finger pulls to open the double doors at each end, revealing the hanging space behind.
Single doors either side of the bathroom entrance conceal shelving and drawers. In just the same way that they might wear a big sparkly diamond, an indulgent dressing room is something that goes with their lifestyle.
Closets on both sides of the room contain full and half hanging space, plus mirrored shelving and shoe storage areas. Oak drawer boxes have bevelled mirrored fronts and rectangular mirrored pulls and, in some cases, clear glass inserts. Simon Williams of Olive lists some of the storage essentials for AV equipment. Shelves need to be deep enough to house the equipment and cabling, and there needs to be access from behind to neatly lace everything together.
The Marine chair has a powder coated alu- minium frame covered in white, black or honey polypeel. The seat cush- ion is free draining with a removable cover. Part of an extensive range of indoor and outdoor furniture by this renowned manufacturer. Full details are available on our web site. Tel Fax [email protected] www. Going underneath the kitchen floor can be a surprisingly useful solution, according to Lucy Hargreaves of Spiral Cellars. Pre-cast concrete modules, with one step to each layer, are installed in the hole, forming a honeycomb in which bottles can be stored.
More shelving is concealed behind the other doors, creating a complete home office unit. The steel legs of the kidney-shaped double desk hide the computer cabling while the desk surface itself houses two curved pull-out keyboard trays. He says a standard bookcase might have a mm deep base unit beneath mm deep shelving.
He chose to make this wall unit mm deep. A sweep of high- and low-level walnut cabinets along one wall provides storage for a printer, scanner and other technology complete with power points and space for cabling plus sections for storing files, stationery and books.
Poplar cluster wraps on the tall cabinets and poplar handles on the low cabinets echo the eye-catching design of the desk, while a glass shelf mirrors the desk design and adds more storage space. The desk itself is the focus of the room, wrapped in more poplar cluster with black walnut lines and supported by a burgundy lacquered cradle with internal cabling for computers. Drawers in the desk provide easy-to-access storage, while the raised glass writing surface means paperwork can be stored on the timber surface below.
When open, the bi-fold doors in glossy white lacquer slide into side pockets to be completely out of the way, revealing a streamlined flush-fitted kitchen. Complete with a hob, oven, extractor, sink, tap and integrated dishwasher, the kitchen also has a stainless-steel work surface and stainless- steel internal cabinetry to store crockery and food.
Integrated task lighting is another practical touch. Illustrating this, the diagram here shows the skeletal spine and leg in relation to a Fjords recliner and highlights the relevant features such as its raised side for lumbar support, moveable headrest for neck support and a stool which ensures the lower back is not 'strained' when reclining. All this ensures perfect wellbeing in perfect Fjords luxury with a high quality build.
The owner wanted somewhere to store and read his books but the space was also to be used as place for entertaining guests. The library and entertaining area is long and narrow so the staircase, which leads up to the study, was made of glass to create a sense of space and openness.
The paintings are hung on rails to enable them to be moved around. The designers devised an ingenious solution for storing the books. They created wheeled tables that can be pushed together to form a large dining table or separated into 22 smaller units. Each one is filled with books and has a cream-painted top that can be flipped over to form a cherrywood surface when used as a dining table. The cabinets surrounding the staircase are framed by pillars that also conceal books, while a glazed bookcase beyond the staircase houses rarer titles and artefacts behind lock and key.
Timothy Hatton Architects, who had worked with the private client before, took on the task of turning it into a library and study for the apartment below, transforming it into a stunning multi-purpose space on two levels. Although the building beneath the library space is grade 2 listed, the fact that the extension was built in the 80s meant it could be demolished to create a bigger, double-height space, complete with a reading platform and sculptural glass staircase.
Lighting, unsurprisingly, is of vital importance to the library. The huge windows that look out over Westminster provide natural light, which is controlled using the motorized sunshades and blackout blinds. The glass staircase can be lit by LEDs to dramatic effect while the shelves are illuminated by xenon lights. Three sides of the apartment are lined with white plaster bookshelves and the gallery floor is constructed in steel and glass.
It is detached from the walls to give the impression of weightlessness while allowing light to penetrate the lower space. Montana is designed by Peter J. Lassen in Lassen, Joakim Lassen and the architects schmidt hammer lassen. Each piece, in a limited edition of eight, is numbered and signed.

Maria Speake fromRetrouvius believes decluttering is an important part of her job.
When declutterers like Ramsey work alongside designers or stylists, their efforts often combine effectively when it comes to storage. Simon Glanville, managing director of Store, understands the impact a clear-out can have on a home. Tillet, a declutterer with her own company Working Order, believes that to design a bespoke home successfully you have to start fromits core. Decluttering has been an industry for about 20 years in the US but it is relatively newin the UKand growing fast.
In fact, the problem lies in having too much stuff. Clutterbee, run by Jon Ramsey, works with clients to sort out their hidden hoards. He believes his organisational expertise, used before the design stage, can make the process much easier for client and interior designer.
Rather than simply rearranging things, a professional organiser will ask all the right questions to make sure the client is not stashing unnecessary and unwanted possessions. This helps to deliver a more Professional declutterers are increasingly busy but do their efforts bring anything to design projects? This major achievement is due to three key factors: all Kaldewei 3.
