As the countdown to the end of the competition, at midnight tonight (Monday) continues, BOTB has offered some superb discounts on some of its ticket bundles. The best deal is available on a batch of 14 tickets, which normally cost 99p each - or £13.86 for the bundle. A 20% discount is offered, which would bring the price of the bundle down to just £11.08.

It means you're getting tickets for less than the 99p starting price, and giving yourself plenty of chances of winning the £685,000 house - which also comes with a free Land Rover Defender. The house, in Hampshire, is a new build in a pretty development surrounded by 100 acres of serene parkland. You also win a Land Rover Defender worth nearly £60,000 | BOTB The semi-detached, three-storey house is set across 1,670 sq ft of space, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a family kitchen and two living rooms. On the ground floor is a large lounge, and a dining kitchen with patio doors overlooking the freshly landscaped garden. A huge master bedroom dominates the first floor, with a large en-suite and a dressing area, and a second reception room sits alongside this. Three bedrooms can be found on the second floor, one of which is en-suite, with a further family bathroom shared by the other two guest bedrooms.

And the house isn't the only prize on offer, because parked on the driveway of the new house will be a Land Rover Urban Defender.

Design trends: 'Mocha mousse' makes its move
Article content Move over, grey. Take a back seat, millennial pink. There's a new colour trend in town, and designers say it marks a shift away from the stark interiors of recent years toward something warmer, deeper and more luxurious. Meet 'mocha mousse,' Pantone's colour of the year for 2025. Article content Article content For the uninitiated, mocha mousse isn't quite your grandma's chocolate brown. As Pantone explains it, it's 'a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.' Given that many of us could use a bit of cozy comfort these days, it's not surprising that a colour with that quality caught the eyes of Pantone's tastemakers. Article content Article content Those in the design industry also pinpoint the colour's earthiness — a distinct change from the huge expanses of white marble in many high-end kitchens built in the last decade or so. Reen-Ann McBean is the general manager of the Ottawa showroom of Cosentino, a Spanish-based manufacturer of engineered stone surfaces. She says the mocha mousse trend is part of an overall rising demand for more natural, less futuristic aesthetic. Article content She recommends the Château Brown shade of her company's durable Silestone product as a mocha mousse option for countertops and backsplashes. Pink-copper and bronze veining gives the shade depth and richness, McBean says. 'It's almost as though there are layers in there,' she notes of the product, which is made from a blend of natural and recycled materials bound together with a resin. 'It's got a lot of texture.' Article content Article content Those veins may raise a related question if you're considering a Château Brown topper for your new kitchen island: What hardware finishes work well with this newly popular colour? Article content Article content For McBean, the sky is really the limit when choosing fixtures to complement the mocha mousse surface. 'It lends itself to so many different possibilities. Because of the depth of the design, you can almost pull anything that you want to out of it,' she says. Copper could work well, as could bronze or even black. And if you can't decide, don't be afraid to mix and match. 'There was a time when you would never put gold and silver fixtures [together] in your space, whereas now, that's almost championed,' she notes. Article content Countertops and backsplashes aren't the only places where you can add some mocha mousse pizzazz to your kitchen. Cabinets, flooring and chair coverings are other elements where the shade works well. If your budget doesn't run to a complete kitchen overhaul, you could add some rich brown tea towels, placemats or upholstered chairs.
