Nearly half of UK pets have their own room to relax in
Nearly half of the UK’s pets now have their own dedicated room where they can relax in peace and store their belongings, research has revealed. A poll of 2,000 cat and dog owners found 48 per cent have a reserved room for their pets or a space in the garden. Just over half (55 per cent) want them to have their own 'chill out' area, while 34 per cent want to ensure maximum comfort. It also emerged 46 per cent of pet owners have designed their home around their pet, although 21 per cent admitted they are unlikely to buy items to appease their furry friend that don’t match their interior style. The study was commissioned by Homesense – part of the TK Maxx family – which has partnered with Kelly Brook to launch a pet and interiors content series ‘Barkitectural Digest’. Kelly Brook said: “I adore Teddy; he’s family and a big part of my life he is, so it’s no surprise that there are elements in my home designed around him.”

Mum makes £10k-a-year hand-crafting earrings and bracelets out of - BEER cans
A mum makes more than £10k-a-year hand-crafting earrings and bracelets out of - beer cans. Carys Miles, 40, launched her unique business, Craft Beerings, five years ago after finishing a can of craft beer. Fascinated by the quirky and colourful designs of the cans and desperate for a creative venture, Carys got to work. She decided to carefully cut and flatten the vibrant cans before cutting them into different shapes - such as studs, hearts and lightning bolts. The raw material is then dried out before being applied to earring mounts - with Carys able to make five pairs of earrings from one can. Though she usually batch-makes the earrings, Carys says she can convert a can to a pair in just 30 minutes. She doesn't add any gloss to the final earrings, with some pairs featuring shiny overlays whilst others are more papery, representing the true texture of the can. Carys made over 960 pairs of the earrings last year and sells them online and at craft fairs for between £10 - £17.50.
