Function over form? Or form over function?
When it comes to making a design decision, there are a normally quite a few things to take into consideration. That sofa, will it go with my existing interior? Will I enjoy it in five years time? And is it comfy? Does it make a statement?
Since many of us can't afford to change our interiors every couple of seasons, these decisions are important. When you go furniture shopping, what are you prioritising?

Comments (50)For DIY bathroom renovations to save money it is possible to tile over existing tiles. You will need to score the tiles with an emery stone to give them a key. Then use a single part flexible powder adhesive as buckets of adhesive will provide sufficient adhesion. It will then be necessary to install a timber baton to the wall to provide a level line to then work up from. When tiling over tiles, things to look out for are architrave details around windows and door frames, the space behind the bath taps to ensure you can still operate them. You also need to set out the room to ensure the vertical and horizontal grout joints leave good sized cuts when the tiling reaches sanitary ware or floor and ceiling lines....See MoreKitchen Design Help - Form over Function?
Comments (10)Hi, I prefer the symmetry of the stack ovens/ microwave with equal number of units on wither sides. Alternatively, if you would like both at the same height and the warming drawer higher up id consider having one appliance on unit 2 and one on unit 4, just so theres an equal balance and spread. All the best...See MoreUse of tiles for different room function
Comments (5)That's a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question! Using the same tile can work well to join spaces and bring a natural flow to them; using different ones can delineate and separate areas or spaces, and there are no end of ways of combining both principles. Really depends on the space and what you want to achieve. If your question relates to a specific space and dilemma, post a bit more info, and no doubt the helpful Houzzers will have plenty of advice!

Comments (5)There is a product called Peel Stop which is really good, you can buy it in Homebase. I recently was painting a wall and one wall kept crazing (it's called alligatoring) and there were also some bubbles. Some sites recommended scraping all of the paint off but I thought I would try this product as it had good reviews. I painted it all over the wall and after it dried I repainted. Unfortunately, some of the crazing came back so I re-applied and then applied primer (Rustins water based). I repainted again and this time no problems. The usual reason things like this happen is the wall is not properly prepared or, it can be when you paint a matt paint over a silk one. F&B is very matt and chalky so this probably happens a lot. Hope this helps and you get it sorted....See More- 9 years ago
