Hi, the splashback is toughened 6mm glass in a bespoke colour and templated to fit.

What material will we see trending in 2017?

Yes I'm not keen on "trends". It's rather like clothes that everyone is wearing, but look dated after one season. Decor and clothing are so much better if classic in style. Never goes out of fashion and you can keep them for years. Hate this obsession with grey decor - overdone and so boring.

How to work out materials needed for new patio
Q

You do not necessarily have to fully bed all the patio slabs. Ours have a sort of dot and dab underneath. Very annoying when you accidentally drive over them as it causes cracking. There are so many ways to do this. I think I would over order the cement,sand and any other materials just using square meterage and then allow 10% extra for waste and learning how to mix it properly. Don't feel massively pressured by the time frame. Its more pressure you don't need the first time. Do it properly and just do as much as you can in your timeframe. The weather might not play ball either. Just try and stop in a logical sequence if you need to. Think about access. Think about logistics too to make it as easy for you as possible. Paving slabs will be heavy so you don't want to have to carry them too far for instance. I have found Travis Perkins to be very helpful with materials in the past.

Kitchen Splashback / Upstand Layout and Material
Q
Comments (14)
If you include a 100mm upstand you will still have a gap if its 660mm and the alusplash is only 610mm wide. You could make it look deliberate by stopping under the units and having the gap of 50mm. I wouldn't do the upstand and then the alusplash its not sleek. If you do the alusplash start at the worktop and have the gap above. That could be the starting point for the shelf. Metro tiles are fussy to clean and unless white on white can look very busy. Zellige tiles are stunning but for that square meterage probably eye wateringly expensive. I would do a serious houzz search of what you are planning in photos, save lots to ideabooks and then see which style appeals to you the most to help you decide. If you have the upstand I wouldn't do any splashback above it. It looks great with only a good wallcolour.

What size / shape / material for mid century skirting and architrave?
Q
Comments (19)
Hi Heather, Thank you for sharing your project, particularly love your choice of flooring, it will look beautiful. A few further design pointers for you: Starting Point: Select your doors and hardware first, then search for skirting which might have a feature you can pull out to compliment the doors and hardware, see image below from UK Howdens – see the stepping effect on the skirting board replicated within the door trim? (these are the types of small but effective details interior designers look out for) Painting Oak: As suggested by the Houzz community – we also would avoid overpainting Oak, it is an expensive material and is designed to showcase its own natural beauty without the need for a painted coating. Flooring Selection: The beautiful flooring you have already selected will be the main focal point throughout – especially the herringbone pattern and natural graining in the wood, framing your door with a similar wood might cause a boxed in effect within the spaces. If you are looking to achieve a framing effect this could easily be done within the flooring – see border image within flooring below: Door Handles: Door handles are a very clever way to extend your interior design style theme – down to the finest details you have accurately already captured the mid-century modern feel with your chosen selection of matt black, think about the shape you are opting for in addition. Skirting Sizes: - In terms of sizes: it would be at your personal discression, it also worth noting that the current size is encased in a colour that does not showcase the grooved design. The average height for skirting boards throughout the UK is 145mm (approximately 6 inches). When it comes to choosing the height for your skirting, it comes down to personal preference. We have found that our most popular sizes range from 120mm (approximately 5 inches) up to 220mm (approximately 9 inches). Start by measuring your current skirting and mark out the difference between what is currently there and the size of designs you like. The image below features the higher version with similar flooring you have selected. Opting for plain white skirting to showcase your flooring, doors and any additional accessories you plan on implementing would be our best guidance, simplicity is key when it comes to skirting boards. Please keep us posted with your project outcomes. Warm and best wishes Team SPEAK
