The bathroom is a busy place and busy areas can be thrown into disarray quite quickly. We all want our bathrooms to look neat, be organised and a be a place of sanctuary.

Without adequate, organised storage, our

Design in bathrooms has changed considerably over the years. Once upon a time, feature tiles were considered a simple picture tile that was used sparingly, with a single tile placed strategically on one or two walls of a bathroom.

Why you should stop using bleach in your bathroom   Bleach and ammonia based products are commonly used for household cleaning, particularly in bathrooms for their disinfecting and whitening abilities.

Cleaning our bathrooms is something most of us do on at least a weekly basis. Disinfecting our toilets, wiping blobs of toothpaste off vanities and scrubbing shower scum from our showers are all part of our normal bathroom cleaning routine. We perform these tasks to effect good hygiene and because they are most obvious if we don’t. But what of the cleaning tasks that are not so obvious? We are all aware of just how

When renovating a bathroom, homeowners are faced with a plethora of design options and colours. Choosing a colour palette, tiles, tapware and fixed items, can be overwhelming to say the least.  Whilst it should be a goal when renovating, to “update” our homes so they reflect a more modern design.  It can be all too tempting to become caught up with the latest bright, bold colours and trends and quite possibly in doing so, date

Just like clothing fashion trends over the years, there have been many trends that have come and gone in interior design. Kitchens are no exception. The pokey little kitchens of yesteryear are a far cry from the functional beasts we see in contemporary homes today. The average homeowner creates or renovates a kitchen once, at most twice in their lifetime due to both the cost and inconvenience of undertaking this task. So great is the pressure

There’s no denying the beauty of natural stone. Incorporating natural stone in our home, whether it be on our floors, in our bathrooms or on our kitchen benchtops creates quite a statement. However natural stone is expensive and can be a pain to maintain. Natural stone requires annual sealing as it is porous and without adequate sealing, becomes vulnerable to moisture and stains. Due to its porous nature, natural stone requires special cleaners as everyday

There’s no denying that household cleansers are expensive. We all notice the difference at the checkout when we’ve added these items to our shopping trolleys. Not only are they expensive, most store bought cleansers contain strong chemicals, complete with health warnings advising us to wear gloves, masks and to open our windows when using them. Just about all of these cleansers warn us to do a “patch test” in an inconspicuous area first to ensure

Not all of us have the luxury of a large kitchen with an abundance of counter and cabinet space. Many homes have a small area designated to the kitchen. Whilst a small kitchen can present its drawbacks there are some advantages too. White on white Having a smaller kitchen prevents hoarding unnecessary and unused appliances that so many of us have stored in the back of our cupboards. A smaller kitchen also prevents
