Need help with tiny cloaroom without natural light.
Comments (0)It's a tricky one - for small rooms with no natural light you either give a blast of 'daylight' bulbs and bright white - but this can be too much / so perhaps go muted Matt colours and paint rather than tiles and a warm white light in there - might be a less stark environment that way ...

Comments (23)Wow that is an amazing garden and view. A pergola is a good idea to add a feature but for a more serviceable structure you could opt for a patio roof or garden roof. These aluminium roofs contain fully automated louvres so you can control whether your relaxation space is sunny of shaded depending on the day. Another plus for the UK is that these roofs become watertight when the louvres are flat so you can use your outdoor space, and appreciate that view no matter the weather.

Comments (9)This is really a very nice space and your house is a "very very very fine house, with two cats in the yard..", lovely. If they are still small I would leave a big lawn for the kids, it also gives a good natural feel to the place with shrubs around and maybe a little treehouse for climbing and hiding. I would not do explicit round forms, because it looks artificial. But maybe it would be a good idea to first get some inspiration from garden books by your great garden designer Penelope Hobhouse or from "Family Garden", a book by the Royal Horticultural Society. The patio and the driveway look a little dull, because the pavement is very massive. Maybe some roses and Viburnum tinus against the house wall could break it up a little. I think decking doesn't go well with this type of house. The pavement itself looks neutral and easy keeping, so why bother replacing it. The garden looks neglected, but that doesn't mean it has to be redone from scratch....See MoreDo we need to seal our sandstone patio?
Comments (10)I've never noticed one way or another about stains as such - that said, we're not that bothered about it looking pristine, as we're quite rural and we live in a Cotswold stone former farmhouse with a country garden, so it's more a case of function over appearance for us. But we've never had anything that we've noticed as a horrific mark though. Consequently, I've just sent the OH to do a test on a spare piece of paving, with some neat Ribena, we left it about 20 minutes or so and then rinsed it off and yes indeed it did leave a faint stain, so if you're concerned about marks and stains then it's probably best to get it sealed....See Morerinked
