Ideas for some indoor greenery?
Comments (6)You might like to consider plants that would remove toxins: http://www.urbanplanters.co.uk/blog/health-benefits-of-plants/10-houseplants-clean-air/ https://www.houseofplants.co.uk/freshairindoorplants.php These sites have some good ideas, and most are available from garden centres, Homebase etc. I haven't got green fingers, but my umbrella plant and my dracaena were both "rescue plants" from the bargain section of Homebase, and they are thriving. Both are recommended as air purifiers. The easiest to grow is the spider plant: you could go for a really retro 70's look and hang one from a macrame planter!...See MorePlease share what’s looking good in your garden this month! Part II
Comments (57)I have to say my whole garden is finally looking good at the moment! We had to have a trench dug across it last year for the new drains for the kitchen, plus we've had trees taken down, new patios laid, beds made and a whole bed of ground elder laid fallow and covered for over a year. Consequently, since Easter, we have been "doing" the garden - well I say we, it's actually the OH doing all the grunt work, digging, planting and re-planting (oops), with me in a purely managerial capacity and doing a bit of dead heading. This is what it was like in 2017 And last year...See MoreIndoor to outdoor wooden flooring - what complements?
Comments (3)Hi James, if you want to achieve a seamless inside / outside look I would suggest having a look at Millboard. This is a very high quality composite decking that is virtually maintenance free. Their Enhanced grain, Golden or Limed Oak would work well with the floor finish above. I always advise clients to go a shade darker for outdoor finishes compared to interior finishes as outdoor light levels are obviously brighter. The other issue you'll need to consider is levels, with a decking solution you can achieve a near flush level finish with interior flooring as decking can self drain through the narrow gaps between boards and be directed away from the house. It can also avoid any conflict you may have with air bricks or DPM levels as air flow can be maintained below deck level. Millboard have an approved contractors scheme so you should be able to find someone who's experienced in using this material in your area....See MoreDecking choice - what compliments indoor wooden flooring
Comments (8)Unless you are going for hardwood decking, I wouldn’t have it. It is slippery when wet and softwood decking starts to rot after a few years. Mine is 8 years old and starting to rot in one corner. I was considering composite decking until I found several bad reviews of it, mainly in the US. It tends to show wear and flaking within 10 years and it warps. In fact Trex is being sued by many customers in the US as the product is not maintenance free and does not last 25 years. Have a read on www.thecraftsmanblog.com. However, outdoor grade porcelain seems a better bet? It comes in wood effect or tile and is non slip. It has a very modern feel if that is the look you’re after. Worth a look?...See More
