How about finding a scrubbable carpet offcut and asking the carpet shop to cut it to size and then whip round the edges, creating a door mat? My sister had a hall rug and mat made up that way in a Crucial Trading carpet. It’s made of wool but has that rustic roughness and is scrubbable and pretty tough. Mind you, with elderly pets a machine washable mat would be ideal.

From where do you buy your paint?
Comments (54)Mylands. You always regret your economies. I've repainted this kitchen 4X over the years, and last time was in Dulux which wore so poorly. Just custom mixed a new vibrant duck egg to paint my kitchen in marble matt walls, eggshell woodwork, and floor paint. Mylands matched impeccably. It was a dream of coverage, and looks spectacular. The quality of the pigment shows, looks the money, nothing like synthetic mediocre pigments in cheaper paint. It's a big improvement....See MoreCheap update for bathroom (we are novices)
Comments (38)I believe that most of the expense in refurbishing a bathroom is in the labour. You can buy a very cheap toilet and sink, but it will cost you a lot to fit it in. To spend as little as possible, I would suggest painting the room a darker colour and see what you think. This will make a big difference. Perhaps a darker grey in the same tone as one of the colours in the tiles. The best thing about paint is that it is easy to change if you don't like it. You can replace the sink taps cheaply and if you can find a towel radiator that fits in the same plumbing spot that will save you plastering. You can replace the shower hose with a shiny new one and get a new clip to hold a new shower head on the wall. You can put a long, silver towel rail on the wall above the radiator and hang a nice, fluffy towel there! If you get a bigger, more modern (plain) mirror on the wall and move all of your personal items out of there the room will look less cluttered. Give it a mega good scrubbing as well and you will enjoy using your new room. Let me know when you want to refurbish the whole thing but for now that will make a low cost alternative.

Comments (43)hi all, update is I have finally found a photo of someones stairs done in Brintons timorous beastie yellow Ruskin butterfly and its made me decide we are definitely 100% going for this as I love it (see attached pics) on stairs and landing... Floor in hall will be oak herringbone parquet, just wall colour to decide and we have bought new tall skirting so colour to paint this also? i have attcahed apic of the hall currently so you can see our front door with stain glass.. As Ive mentioned before the banister and spindles will be replaces with square spindles with an oak top banister and oak end cap - similar to this houzz pic ... So just to deicide on wall colour and new skirting colour... I really like f&b light blue in a hall with oak parquet but I don't feel this will go with the carpet... Kitchen and dining room will be one of the sage shades and lounge Wimborne white and downpipe......See MoreBathroom Design - How to make it more appealing?
Comments (16)If I had to have a shower over a bath, I would have a low down hand held one that could preclude the need for a glass screen. The wall that is built out from the end of the bath, could this extend across the entire width of the wall so that you can lose the loo cistern and create a shelf that goes behind the sink too? It could be the same height as the window sill. I think the all over tiling looks a bit oppressive. On the window wall, you could tile up the to false wall height but not above, thereby breaking it up. I love tiles, there are so many beautiful ones, just get the tones, colours and grout right and they can transform a boring space....See More
