Herringbone or brick bond tile format?
Comments (10)Hi Weewelshdragon, You're correct, brickbond metro tiles is boring, in fact metro tiles period, are boring. They've been around since about the turn of the 20th century, and so "last year!" this is an ensuite I transformed last year from a dark, dingy and depressing space into something light, airy and really quite special. The product is the new thin porcelain tile, which is taking tiled rooms to the next level, and is only bound by your imagination. sizes start at 900 x 900 and go all the way up to 3.2m x 1.6m and range from 4.8mm to 6mm thick and although they half the thickness of regular porcelain they proven to be twice as strong when fitted correctly. Generally available in matt, gloss and textured, the designs and colours are endless. Search for companies like Porcel-Thin™ And see what's available, they shouldn't be overlooked and you'd be the envy of everyone you know. Good luck with your search....See MoreSubmit questions to Houzz’s Agony Aunt Kate Watson-Smyth
Comments (43)Redoing my dining room which I would love to change into a kitchen family room but kitchen is relatively new hence stuck with renovating just the dining room. Switching from dark wood furniture to a more modern look. I have really a blank canvas but a complete mental block, need some help with picking furniture. Kitchen is a very soft green, livingroom is beige with accents of blue Was looking for modern pictures, colourful rug, and ideas for windows. The dining room has two large windows. Any ideas would be helpful. House is late 18th century, semi listed but modern. There are 4 doors in the dining room all painted white with white skirting boards and wooden floors. Would like a real wooden table, something of a talking point, then can move forward. Any help welcome...See Moresummerhouse research
Comments (32)We bought our garden office from Warwick Buildings (it's the curved roof office, but they do summerhouses too in a more traditional style). We had a slab built and they installed on top of it. It's a really good quality Cedar building, which is aging nicely (with no need to paint). The walls, floor and ceiling all had 100mm rigid insulation boards and the windows were double glazed with trickle vents. It's used year round and just needs a small electric radiator in winter as we get solar gain from south facing windows. I'd definitely recommend checking on the quality of insulation and windows, and considering the direction it will face. http://www.warwickbuildings.co.uk/?&mkwid=s_dm|pcrid|247085519913|pkw|warwick buildings|pmt|e&mh_keyword=warwick buildings&bnine=true&gclid=CjwKCAiA78XTBRBiEiwAGv7EKhOZUioUX6YZqgDc4ZdG_WqabOtWHtFTgSCa7E7lAqDi7CpQYIaMdRoCZTkQAvD_BwE...See MoreWhat is looking good in your garden right now?
