Its always a job to decide whether to put Bidets on display in our showroom. There isn't any real demand but that may just be our part of the world. So we ask, do British people actually like Bidets?...

Yes I do!

No its a european thing

How do you like your tea?
Q
Comments (31)
Hello Tom, I like it green! I never drink tea in the morning, I have coffee until midday, then I switch to tea. Coffee is then forgotten until after dinner if I have an espresso. Mostly I don't. I like green tea with a bit of flavouring- not sure it needs to be salted caramel though?! Twining's latest foray into flavoured green teas! .. I do though love a traditional cup of Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Afternoon Earl Grey, Rose, basically all the floral black teas and I do have them with milk! Also a Vanilla (black) tea at bedtime is nice.. In refined society it was the done thing to add the milk afterwards.. Given that good china was present... It became the norm to later add the milk before because lesser quality china was prone to cracking due to the heat.. people still argue over this though... Also some teas contain more caffeine than coffee and also depending on the leaves and brewing technique, tea can keep you awake if you drink it at night..If no Earl Grey or EG variety then Assam nice and robust- I don't do PG or anything that might turn orange.. Apparently though we Brits or those here in the UK according to recent findings are falling out of love with tea and are drinking herbal brews and green and fruit teas. I read this the other day. As much as I do like my green tea, and I am a new convert in the last year or so.. I still say you can't beat a proper afternoon tea with cakes, egg and cress and cucumber sandwiches and a decent pot and china cups with (saucers which stay on the table unless we are standing!) ... Little lavender or rose biccy or two(enty)! : ))

Do you like black kitchens?
Q
Comments (5)
Our kitchen is black - or rather, the units are, and we have a dark, marble-effect Amtico floor - we will change both when we can. The problem - for me - with black is - it gobbles up light, and to compensate for that, you must plan the lighting accordingly. When we moved in, the kitchen lighting consisted of two very bright pendants and half a dozen not very fetching, not very well thought out, under-wall-cupboard downlights; we changed the existing lights, and augmented them with led strips under - and on top of - the wall-cupboards. We also added two table-lamps and an uplighter; that, and a repaint of walls (from bright orange to F&B Cornforth White) and changing the cupboard handles will have to suffice for the moment. So my advice if you are planning a back kitchen is - lighting is at least as important as any other aspect of design. I'm sure the pros on houzz can offer better advice on that than can I.

Better room configuration upstairs?
Q
Comments (17)
With the space you have available the easiest thing to do would be to take some of the landing space into the bathroom, split that into an ensuite for the larger rear bedroom and a main bathroom accessed from the landing. Then move the partition wall between the two front bedrooms and make them more similar in size. As long as this doesn't involved structural work this should be relatively easy. You won't get an extra bedroom but you'll get a better range of bedrooms and an ensuite. You could possible add a little more space into the rear bedroom when you reconfigure the bathroom as well to make this a better sized master bedroom, or add in a wardrobe space.

Bidet; Remove or Replace?
Q

Remove and install the hand held douche thingy (Asian style, called shattaf)or a temperature-controlled toilet bidet (Japanese/Korean-style). Budet aren’t really that hygienic, unless one is going to hop bare-bottomed ? Also, ensuring it is hygienic is very very important. Douche is most hygienic out of them all. I lived for years with all the three options and I quite liked the heated Japanese ones, but again - you will end up doing a lot of nooks and crannies’ cleaning. I am installing the hand-held douches in all bathrooms.
