Does anyone have experience with bamboo flooring? Are there any negatives?

It is very dense and so good for bathrooms and looks beautiful with white suites. Just be careful in a bathroom, it need installing prior to fittings and the high gloss surface could be scratched by plumbers, tilers etc. It doesn't shrink like some woods.

Which internal doors with bamboo flooring?

The problem seems to be finding a very contemporary looking door that can be painted. I am also going to put in integrated hinges. Most of the doors I see that you paint look cottagy or old fashioned. Thank you for your feedback!

We come in at the end of the project with exciting stylish chairs which can be supplied in 56 colours so you can link in the chair colours with other components in the room - Blinds, curtains, painted walls or a splash back (It is possible to get Glass splashbacks in virtually any colour. We can lend a sample card to be given to the splash back makers so that they colour the splashback to match exactly with the chairs.) I attach a photo showing some Doris P Chairs in Red Leather, complete with a dining table. The Next photo shows the bar stools with matching splashback in red, which was part of the same project. I know that you do not have barstools, but I am just demonstrating the idea. The dining table was made up using heavy weighted bases in a brushed stainless steel finish and a table top which matches the kitchen work tops. This is a picture of the 30 colours available in the Eco Leather range. We have another 26 colours in the Real Leather range so you have a huge selection to choose from. We have an App which allows you to make up different chairs, change the bases (chair legs) and change the upholstery colours. Then you can see the finished effect. Please copy and paste this link into your browser to see our App. http://www.seatingmyway.com/app/chairs. I would be happy to discuss your project in more detail if you are interested.

Stained wooden doors to white?
Q
Comments (0)
I have a very dark house with off white/cream walls and medium bamboo floors which I hate. I have already spent money turning a dark brown kitchen to white and have used lighter rugs to hide the floor where I can and lighten up the look. I have stained wooden and glass doors throughout and am thinking of turning them white. Is this the right thing to do and is it hard? The photo shows the two types of doors I am looking at painting white - it would be the same white as the white of the door frames. Thanks in advance.

Inject colour into a hallway

There are some good images provided here for decorating ideas.. I'm intrigued by the fact that you don't like the stained glass above the door. Here's a thought.... 'double glaze' it from the inside with a single piece of plum coloured glass (or any other colour you fancy). If you really want to go whacky and make a feature of it add some LED strips into the window casing to light the window. From the inside it will appear to glow plum and from the outside it will act like a porch light. What you'll be doing is adding light to the hall which you need, setting the colour scheme that you want, hiding the original window from the hallway and doing something quirky with colour which I think you are up for!
