Floors, Furniture & Bathrooms
When it comes to designer floors there’s nothing better than solid wood flooring to make a statement in the lounge or hallway. If you really want something special then having specially boarded wooden floors looks particularly stunning. Of course all these wooden floors don’t come cheap ranging upwards of £50 a square meter and that’s before fitting them. Charges for fitting wooden floors ranging in cost depending on the size and the ease by which they can be fitted but expect to pay around £15 per square meter.
So for those of you who don’t have the budget for a fancy sports floors costing upwards of £80 per square meter what can you do? Well a really great way of getting nice wooden floors is by sanding and sealing old wooden floor boards which are found in many pre nineteen fifties buildings. This technique often called floor sanding involves sanding the floor with a number of different grit sand papers until the wood is then ready for lacquering or varnishing. Any solid wood floor can be sanded in this way to give it a whole new lease of life, sports hall floors are sanded on a regular basis so as they can have new line marking or court marking carried out.

Furniture
When you think furniture most of us think indoor furniture and yet more and more of us in the UK are buying garden furniture as well as Oriental furniture ans Chinese furniture. Teak garden furniture has always been a favourite when it comes to garden furniture as it is well known for its good looks and durability as well as its original designs. And if it’s cold this summer you can always use patio heaters to keep yourself warm.
But there is a new kid on the block when it comes to outdoor furniture these days and that’s rattan garden furniture. Rattan furniture like teak comes mainly from South East Asia and so offers many different styles not found with UK furniture or conservatory furniture. When you consider that teak and rattan furniture are used to furnish all types of areas from the lowliest to the five star hotels you start to get a picture of how popular it is.
rattan garden furniture has started to be used in much the same way here in the UK over the last 5 years or so with many bars and cafes using it to furnish there outdoor areas. Rattan furniture is a popular choice thanks to many different styles of furniture it offers such as the outdoor rattan sofa and daybeds.

Bathrooms
Thanks to all those cool designers out there working hard on producing new and fantastic ideas bathrooms are not the boring rooms they once were. IN fact bathrooms can be one of the most interesting rooms when it comes to design and modern gadgets.
Thanks to the high price of water and heating most UK bathrooms these days will be fitted with showers as showers can save you up to 50% on your water and heating bills. This is not only good for your wallet but it is good for the environment too so don’t be put off with having showers installed. Whether you just have bathroom suites and no shower in your bathroom you can always have a shower fitted above your bath, saves time, space and money on a full cubicle shower. You will however be best off getting some shower enclosures installed around the bath to keep the water in the bath unless you are using showers in wet rooms that is.
Bathroom design can be fun to these days with novelty toilet seats and bathroom taps and even basin mixer taps as well as other bathroom accessories designed to bring a smile to your face. These toilet seats come in an array of different design to suit even the most extraordinary of tastes.
Another aspect of bathroom design which always needs consideration is how you are going to heat your bathroom? Most UK homes are heated using central heating, this makes choosing the heating for your bathroom easy as radiators particularly Stelrad radiators are the safest and most economical way of heating. You can always chose from aluminium radiators and if you have no gas supply then there are always electric radiators. If you want to add a touch of style to your bathroom heating solution why not consider towel rails as these are just as functional as radiators but a lot more stylish.
If you use oil for your heating system you will still be able to find radiators but will obviously need to have good oil tanks in which to store your oil.
