What's the most important thing a bathroom should have?
Comments (34)Most of the elements have been covered already but I would say, first and foremost, storage. Get all the unattractive bottles and bits put away. The second is a large duel fuel towel rail. Summer in the UK isn't always that warm but may not be cold enough for central heating. To keep towels dry I install towel rails that are heated by the gas central heating system in winter or switched to electric for the summer months. There are good looking modern stainless steel towel rails that also act as radiators. If there is adequate space: a large bath, a large shower and a bidet or a WC/bidet combination. In addition, excellent lighting - both task and mood as well as underfloor heating. Definitely NO carpets and NO shower curtains but bath mats that can be washed and glass shower screens. By the way, Japanese baths have integral heating units but are deep and square so you have to sit with your knees up but you get constantly warm water up to your chin....See MoreWhat is the most important factor when you choose the internal doors?
Comments (4)I think that they should go with the style of the building! I hate to see mock Georgian white paneled doors in modern housing - although builders in the UK tend to use them a lot. Like all things they tend to go in fashions though, once it was solid pine, then flat wood effect etc, etc. As a designer and householder though, I tend to prefer something in keeping with the building, and hoping decor that's in tune with the exterior, so the doors would fit in with it all anyway!...See MoreMost impolite thing a guest can do?
Comments (88)We had a relative stay in our home for one night as she was moving on after, we live at the side of a railway line in a two bed ( everybody starts from somewhere) but we are used to this, a train only takes 30 seconds to pass so don't really notice it, my wife and I left for the day to go to work and left our guest to lock up on leaving, we had cooked the evening meal the night before and left her instructions on where everything was for breakfast. We both thought that all was fine until talking to another relative and found out that she would never stay with us again as she got no sleep due to the trains, walls were so thin she could hear everything inc plumbing noises heating kicking in and so on, and to this day she has not been back!...See MoreMost important asset a pro can have?
Comments (7)Hello Emmeline, I think a professional should be adaptable, able to intuit and interpret the clients needs and that of their home or space worked on. Having a range of skills is obviously as important as is their particular skill set. Respect and trust goes both ways. Whether you're a whole turnkey service or not.. That doesn't matter.. All that matters is that all the parties involved in the project are working together with full information, budgets, requirements and respect for each other and the client. Now a little note on newer pro's and companies.. For companies or Pro's that are "new" emerging etc etc as nobody talks about this in a positive light from what I have read here.. Years of experience and so forth are nothing if there's no skill.. There are plenty of new companies that A don't have years of experience B masses of clients etc etc.. but as with any company or professional that has say 10-15 years experience or more.. I'd be looking less at the longevity, "experience" and more at their skill, flair and how they carry themselves.. It's no good being told someone has 20 years experience if they're terrible at what they do.. As with every pro or company everyone was new at some point. I had recently been told by someone gleefully he had 15 years experience in his trade... His work was the worst I have ever seen! For me... Skill, creativity, kindness and flair! : ))...See MoreDiane Langdon
