We’ve spent a lot more time at home in 2020. So, it’s perhaps no surprise that national interest in quality property decor has skyrocketed.
Almost everyone has done a little bit of DIY and experimented with new styles this year – keeping themselves busy during lockdown(s) and ensuring their home remains a nice environment in which to work, rest and play.
Interior businesses have been booming as a result – and one particularly exciting success story is happening just down the road.
Despite only being one year old, Cheshire-based Wild One Interiors has quickly established itself as the creme-de-la-creme of homeware brands – recording huge sales month on month.
Demand for home decor is high right now – but Wild One has flourished because it sells the kind of bright, bold and daring items you simply don’t see anywhere else; from animal furniture to wildlife-themed kitchen utensils.

The brand started life as an Instagram page, earning so much acclaim that it morphed into one of the busiest homeware businesses in northern England almost overnight.
Founders told us: “Wild One was set up after having lots of traction on our home account on Instagram and we wanted to be able to share our style with people in a tangible way other than through photos.

“We started off with a small amount of stock working from a garage which has recently seen us take on a warehouse with staff to help us process our orders.
“We LOVE sourcing products and keeping an eye on trends but not following them – making sure we have fresh stock all the time and styling them in our home to give people ideas of how our products will work.”
They added: “We love inspiring other people to be braver in their interiors and encourage that if you love something – go for it. Don’t hold back or worry about what Auntie Sally will think of your black ceiling when she calls round.

“Your home is your safe place, even more so this year and it should reflect you and your family.
“We have a two and three-year-old and people often say: ‘we can’t have nice things with kids around’.
“There’s always a way around it – put your breakables higher up, keep that last tin of paint with a dribble left in the bottom to touch up the walls where they wiped jam sandwiches!”
There are some truly wild and wonderful products on offer from the brand at the moment – and you can take advantage of big discounts on these items by entering the code ‘MANCBLACKFRIDAY’ at the checkout.
Even if you’re not sprucing up your own pad, these items could make for some cracking Christmas gifts…

Manchester dentist loved by celebs is knocking £1000 off popular Invisalign treatment
Daisy Jackson
A luxury dentist in Manchester is offering Invisalign treatment with a massive saving this month.
Ruh Dental, which counts the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Helen Flanagan as patients, will be offering packages with more than £1000-worth of savings.
The special offer is part of the boutique dental practice’s Invisalign Open Week, with discounts on the hugely popular clear brace system which straightens teeth discreetly.
Most cases are able to be completed within six months, with noticeable differences in just three months.
Invisalign can close gaps, and fix overbites and misaligned teeth with less clinic visits than traditional ‘train track’ braces.

The open week will run between 29 March and 5 April, with the offer valid for five days after the consultation.

The private practice has no waiting lists, with patients seen ASAP, and focuses on restorative and cosmetic procedures.
Its dental team is led by the award-winning Dr Billal Arshad, an expert in his field who trains colleagues nationally and internationally and is famed for his attention to detail and artistic flair.
Another Ruh Dental deal currently running is a Mother’s Day offer, where you can claim a free afternoon tea at The Ivy and a free hygiene appointment when you refer your mum for an appointment with Dr Arshad.
Trafford Centre’s new interactive ‘Wonderwall’ experience helps you style your home
Danny Jones
The Trafford Centre has come up with a novel way to design your home with their exciting new ‘Wonderwall’ experience.
On until Sunday, 26 February, the fully interactive Wonderwall is a fun new touchscreen approach to styling your home and selecting fine new furnishings, featuring furniture and homeware items from various Trafford Centre retailers.
Doing up your gaff can be a fun but often stressful and challenging task, with the sheer amount of choice sometimes feeling overwhelming and the notion of making appointments with a stylist or a full day of shopping around is simply too much faff when you’re trying to get on with everyday life.
That’s where the Wonderwall comes in: not only do you get to create your own mood board on the fly with countless top-quality items from the likes of John Lewis, H&M, Selfridges, Next and more, but you also get on-the-go styling advice as you build out the look for each of your rooms.

Moreover, you never have to risk that dreaded scenario of your order turning up and being nothing like you expected or it was advertised online, as the best part is you can literally go and look, feel and test every piece you pick from the shops within the Trafford Centre.
Better still, if you sign-up to become a Pulse member — TC’s dedicated loyalty which provides you early and exclusive news, perks and events from all of their retailers — you can win yourself a limited-time only gift card to put towards styling your home.
All you have to do is sign-up by joining the WiFi when you’re there. Happy days.
Last but not least, with less than a week left of half-term, not only is the Trafford Centre the perfect place to take the kids but the Wonderwall can also help keep them occupied as well as get them involved in the redesign.
Thanks to their ‘design your dream bedroom‘ colouring competition, you and your little ones can also be in with a chance of winning a £100 Trafford Centre gift card. Full T&Cs apply.
The Wonderwall is located at Orient Way from Monday, 20 February until Sunday, 26 February.
Get yourself down there before the end of the week and be sure to get a photo there with the hashtag #tchome.
