Hi I'm sorry for the delay. You can purchase the split bamboo rolls from garden centres or online. We retrofitted them to the existing fencing posts to cover the fencing that was in place. We then put wooden strips over the joins on the posts which gives a smarter finish. To do this garden the rolls cost roughly £180 for this small garden. Its a good cost effective way of covering unsightly fencing.

POLL: What's your kitchen worktop material?

Another vote for Dekton and Sileston Quartz worktops, use them all the time in our projects as so much more forgiving and low maintenance than granite or marble. Agree that Corian is a good option if you have a large island to prevent visible joins, whilst it has other benefits you do need to be very careful when it comes to heat. Vast range of colours and textures in all types nowadays so the type of material shouldn't limit the effect you want to achieve - be that traditional or contemporary. I am always a big advocate that a worktop is an investment, there is no point spending a large sum on a beautiful quality kitchen and then finishing it off with a worktop that won't stand up to time as well as the rest of the room or cheapen the look - I always recommend to go for the best you can afford.

Good idea to think options - deflection or reduction. Trying to deflect the wind is tricky, the roller idea sounds fine but I agree with the other comment - it's a sail and our experience is not positive. Plus you'll get eddies or capture the wind when in the wrong direction. Why not complement your bamboos with screening from the same material. Or reeds. You can cut it easily (rolled up if you want to reduce height) or wire snips for length. Very cheap and you can paint it to suit. This will do well on the absorption and you can always double layer it on the prevailing wind face. To break up wind flow further in height terms - I'd go for palm in a barrel. Leaves are designed to to give in the wind but there are enough to break up the flow. Scaffold net will give you greater than 80% absorption so effectively it's a screen with disadvantages above. It will flap noisily unless you tie it in multiple places. Your cube an be held down firmly with hessian sandbags, inside and attached with elastic cord. Good luck! Iain

For us interior design is about so much more than choosing furniture it is about making sure the human experience is prioritized when we build. Our clients love it minimal, refined and not too cluttered. So for all of us it is about making their life better when they arrive from constant trips.

@ Jonathan: The stencil idea is brilliant, do you think using black colour on whites and white colour on black tiles can work as well? Also I like the flour plans , the room layout is a bit different in real life but I'm not sure what's the best way to explain the layout as I don't have more pics before next week now. What software are you using for the floor plans? looks neat. I tried a few now but they all need payment to export and then I'd rather know which is the best to use first. The garden screen looks good too even tho I'm still leaning more towards your original idea of bamboo screens. After reading all the suggestions here I'm definitely reconsidering the flooring and focusing more on the furniture and decor. And since we're likely stuck with black and white I'll start experimenting with the grays and other soft dark colours to see which combintion works out the best, and will try maybe get a few reds in there tactfully as J suggested @J: I love the diy idea for the banquette and most probably will try to do that myself, paired with a few A quality cushions to hide the imperfections hah. I don't have much experience with building stuff but after a few mistakes I'll get there. And thanks for sharing the pics , although I'm more of a minimalistic guy but I can see how adding a few extra bits and bobs can help take away the focus from where we don't want people to focus. I'll have a look at some decent size plants as well.
