Visiting Stacey Solomon at Pickle Cottage – which she describes as her forever home – is a huge treat. She is exactly the same at home as she is on TV or on her Instagram account. Stacey is warm, friendly, welcoming and full of good humour. It’s often said that the key to happiness is being grateful for what you have and Stacey is a case in point.
As part of our 100th anniversary, we’re looking at trends that will see us through the next decade and beyond. It’s easy to think the home of the 2030s will be hugely different from the ones we live in today, but that doesn’t really seem to be the case. We will definitely be looking for our homes to work harder, but not by installing robot helpers. Here, we take a look at how the home is likely to evolve over the coming decade…
Biophilic Design
Amazing chefs have the ability not only to turn prosaic ingredients into something sublime, but also to change the way we look at food, design and culture as a whole. As part of our 100th anniversary series, here we look at 10 chefs we believe will help shape the future of dining. Some are new, others have been around a little longer, but between them we think they’ll have a huge impact on food in the decade to come…

As part of our 100th birthday celebrations we’re looking at the future trends that will shape the way we live through the next decade. This month we’re focused on plant-based eating…
While many of us aren’t yet ready to become vegan, there’s certainly a shift towards consuming less meat by adopting a flexitarian approach to eating. The great news is that there are plenty of exciting ingredients and innovations to keep meal times interesting.
As part of our 100th birthday celebrations, we’re looking at a series of trends that will take us through the next decade. From chefs to watch to interiors trends, we’ll look at how life will change. We’re starting here with ten food trends and looking at what and how we’ll be eating over the coming decade…
1. Home cooking
Investing in an AGA isn’t like buying any other kitchen appliance. For the AGA will become a member of the family, a place to gather around, where the cat snoozes and 
wet socks are quickly dried, a source of the fluffiest cakes and crispiest roast potatoes.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of AGA Outdoors, a new range of products designed to allow you to enjoy al fresco cooking the AGA way.
This year we’re experiencing an autumn like no other and many of us are turning to nature for solace. We’re lucky that the season brings with it a 
spectacular visual feast and the fact we can only go out to buy essentials or exercise means there’s little choice but to immerse ourselves in the great outdoors.
Controllable heat output, full remote control and range of stunning flame patterns
There are few things as delightful as the glow of a fire and the new Rayburn built-in electric fires collection has been designed to create the ultimate flame picture combined with a controllable heat output when required. Rayburn fires are manufactured to the highest quality, with vibrant, variable multi-coloured flame pictures that allow you to set your style and mood for a truly unique fire.
If you love the look of a woodburning stove and want to indulge in that cosy warmth, but either live somewhere it’s not possible to install one or don’t want the hassle of having to use solid fuel, then we have the answer.
