Changing Your Home? Here are a Few Tips

As they say, the home is where the heart is. Being the space where you experience life’s ups and downs, your house should be somewhere you enjoy being since it is where many of us spend the majority of our time. With our home being our own space to transform as we please, approaching a project in the most effective way for our visions will help make the process run smoothly. Whether you are looking to just add your own touches with small adjustments or transform the place completely with a modern double storey extension to provide you with well needed space, here are our top tips for making your house a home.
Declutter your home and mind
A peaceful home is a big step in the right direction for a peaceful mind. By clearing out any old boxes, clothes or ornaments that you no longer want or need, you will see an instant change in the aesthetic of your home. As well as being much less cluttered, you may be surprised at how much bigger your space looks! How about heading down to the local charity shop or even car boot sale to make a bit of money on your old belongings? After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Tackle it room by room
Taking on too many jobs at one time can lead to a whole lot of stress with very little outcome. To achieve the best results, take on the tasks one at a time and ensure you are happy before moving on to the next. This way, you may even learn some likes and dislikes which can educate your plans for other rooms in the house.
Bring the outside inside
One of our favourite ways to spruce up any room (if you’ll pardon the pun) is to add some greenery. Whether you prefer extravagant leafy plants in a statement pot or just some simple hanging foliage on your shelving, plants are a great way to pull a design together and make a room appear more complete. As well as looking fabulous, having plants around the home is shown to be great for your headspace, what’s not to love?
Create a home fit for purpose
If you plan on staying in your house for a while to come, it’s always better to plan ahead. Whether you live with elderly relatives who may struggle with mobility down the line or are looking to grow your family with some little ones, creating an adaptable space will ensure you are prepared for the future. Investing into a home extension is not only a great way to create additional living space for you and your family to enjoy, but it is bound to add value to your home when it comes to selling.
Add your own stamp on the place
To create a home that you love, it needs your own special touches! Display things that make you the happiest, whether that be framed pictures of your loved ones, souvenirs from your travels or simply a bunch of flowers to brighten up the space. By portraying your own personality, you are bound to feel more relaxed and happy in your space so unleash your creativity!

Why Derik Fay Is Becoming a Case Study in Long-Haul Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship today is often framed in extremes — overnight exits or public flameouts. But a small cohort of operators is being studied for something far less viral: consistency. Among them, Derik Fay has quietly surfaced as a long-term figure whose name appears frequently across sectors, interviews, and editorial mentions — yet whose personal visibility remains relatively limited.
Fay’s career spans more than 20 years and includes work in private investment, business operations, and emerging entertainment ventures. Though many of his companies are not household names, the volume and duration of his activity have made him a subject of interest among business media outlets and founders who study entrepreneurial longevity over fame.
He was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1978, and while much of his early career remains undocumented publicly, recent profiles including recurring features in Forbes — have chronicled his current portfolio and leadership methods. These accounts often emphasize his pattern of working behind the scenes, embedding within businesses rather than leading from a distance. His style is often described by peers as “operational first, media last.”
Fay has also become recognizable for his consistency in leadership approach: focus on internal systems, low public profile, and long-term strategy over short-term visibility. At 46 years old, his posture in business remains one of longevity rather than disruption a contrast to many of the more heavily publicized entrepreneurs of the post-2010 era.
While Fay has never publicly confirmed his net worth, independent analysis based on documented real estate holdings, corporate exits, and investment activity suggests a conservative floor of $100 million, with several credible indicators placing the figure at well over $250 million. The exact number may remain private but the scale is increasingly difficult to overlook.
He is also involved in creative sectors, including film and media, and maintains a presence on social platforms, though not at the scale or tone of many personal-brand-driven CEOs. He lives with his long-term partner, Shandra Phillips, and is the father of two daughters — both occasionally referenced in interviews, though rarely centered.
While not an outspoken figure, Fay’s work continues to gain media attention. The reason may lie in the contrast he presents: in a climate of rapid rises and equally rapid burnout, his profile reflects something less dramatic but increasingly valuable — steadiness.
There are no viral speeches. No Twitter threads drawing blueprints. Just a track record that’s building its own momentum over time.
Whether that style becomes the norm for the next wave of founders is unknown. But it does offer something more enduring than buzz: a model of entrepreneurship where attention isn’t the currency — results are.
