I would also go with eggshell. Gloss will be the most durable but is a fairly dated look (although due to the fact that most of us have houses with glossed woodwork we will see it around for quite some time yet.) Eggshell is far more in trend for the woodwork.

Living Room wear and tear

Hi Becky, Though we can't offer advice on the 'tripping' part of your problem (aside from recommending something with flatter-bound edges, or using carpet tape to keep it closer to the floor), we do know a few things about material types. It sounds like a rug with a low pile height (less fluffy!) and made from polypropylene would be the best solution. These kind of rugs are often marketed as 'bleach-clean' rugs as they are very hard-wearing and the colour should be less affected by cleaning products. Vacuuming regularly should keep a rug like this in tip-top shape. We've written more about this material on our website. The other alternative is wool, which is a favourite of ours as it has many great qualities (long-lasting, hard wearing, ecologically friendly) but is much more expensive than polypropylene. So, it all depends on your price range! But be sure, wherever you look for your rug, to take into account the fabric type, as this will aid your problem best. Hope this helps! Kings

Advice on picking the right flooring finish
Q

Are you struggling to choose the right flooring finish for your new solid wood floor? With so many options available it can be overwhelming and stressful trying to find the right one for your room – after all, a new floor is a long-term investment in your home and a decision you’ll have to live with for some time. Allow us to help you take the guess work out of floor shopping, with this guide on floor finishes and our expert advice on picking the right flooring finish for you. Lacquered finish for Solid Wood Pick a lacquered flooring finish for a protective, high resistance coating for your new floor – ideal if you plan to install it in part of your home where there’s likely to be a lot of traffic, like your hallway. It’s an extremely popular option due to its hard-wearing properties, and the lacquer also adds a smooth and glossy finish, making it look very stylish. If you want a low maintenance floor, this is also a great option as the lacquer finish makes it easy to wipe up spills, keep clean and wash quickly so that is looks great all the time. Advice on picking the right flooring finish Brushed and Lacquered Similar to the lacquered finish, this solid wood flooring finish has all the benefits you would expect from a lacquered top layer, but before this thin protective resin layer is applied, the planks are brushed gently with a steel comb to add texture and a more natural appearance to the flooring. This also highlights the beautiful grain of the wood, so brushed and lacquered flooring ideal for larger rooms where you need the practicality of a low maintenance floor, but you still want to appreciate the beauty of it. Brushed and Oiled As we’ve just established, brushing your floor results in a stunning, authentic looking wooden floor, so some people don’t like to cover this over with a layer of lacquer. Instead, they choose an oiled floor finish which helps to keep the wood durable and protected from every day wear and tear, but also highlights the natural character of the wood. This technique is thousands of years old, and many customers who choose this finish do so because they appreciate the subtler sheen from the finished oiled floor – whereas a lacquered finish is much glossier. Handscraped Historically, floors had to be handscraped to remove old varnish before a new coat could be applied, and because this process results in a beautiful rippling pattern, lots of people want to recreate this look on their brand new floors. Despite the name, handscraped floors are no longer scraped by hand but done by machine, however because of the unique finish of this floor and the added manufacturing process required they tend to be the most expensive finish. For a floor with huge doses of unique character and charm, choose a handscraped finish – ideal for making a statement in a prominent area of your home.

Which black composite sinks are the most hard wearing?
Q
Comments (6)
I had a black composite kitchen sink a few houses ago and if you have hard water they do mark. But I’ve got a black bathroom basin now and I only got it because I was putting a water softener in and so far (nearly a year) it’s fine. Son is messy with toothpaste but is easily cleaned. So my thinking is if you’ve got hard water then install a water softener??
