Wallpaper with a large pastel bouquet in a living room with a white sofa and dark rug

Floral wallpaper: large, small or botanical, and which room carries it

Floral wallpaper is back, but not the sprigged flower wallpaper of the past. Large painted tulips across a whole wall, a botanical drawing in greyed green, a fine country pattern behind the bed: each type of flower asks for a different room and a different wall. In this article we go through the designs we […]

Logo entrance mat for your business: walk-off zone, size and design

An entrance mat with a logo does two things at once: it keeps sand and moisture at the door, and it shows your name the moment someone walks in. That works in a shop, an office, a practice or a sports hall, and it costs less than you think. In this article you will read […]

Green kitchen backsplash: sage, olive and green marble without grout lines

Green is the colour that calms a kitchen down without making it dull. Sage and olive sit well with wood and white, deep green marble turns the backsplash into the eye-catcher of the room, and green tiles give a kitchen exactly the bit of character that plain fronts lack. In this article we go through […]

Non-woven wallpaper over existing wallpaper: can you do it?

Can you wallpaper over wallpaper? Sometimes, but usually it is not a good idea. It depends on what is on the wall now and how well it is stuck down. Over smooth non-woven wallpaper that is firmly stuck it can occasionally work. Over paper, vinyl, textured or painted-over wallpaper, it cannot. Below we go through […]

Warm colour wallpaper: terracotta, green, beige and mauve

Terracotta, sage, sand, taupe and mauve: warm colours are the shades that make a wall feel cosy straight away. They do that without making the room dark, and they go with wood, linen and plants, the materials most homes already have. Below we go through them colour by colour: which designs we have, how to […]

Living room wallpaper ideas: a warm, calm or modern feature wall

For many people, the living room is where they first dare to give a whole wall colour or pattern. Rightly so, as no room gets looked at more. But choosing living room wallpaper does not start with the design. It starts with the wall: which one you pick, what stands in front of it and […]

How to Choose an Induction Hob Protector: Size, Material and Use

An induction hob is the largest glass surface in your kitchen, and for most of the day it does nothing. An induction hob protector turns it into worktop: you lay a printed mat over the glass, put your chopping board or shopping on it, and take it off as soon as you start cooking. Sounds […]

Aluminium Kitchen Backsplash: Solid or Composite?

Anyone searching for an aluminium kitchen backsplash quickly runs into two things that are both called aluminium and are yet not the same: solid aluminium and aluminium composite. The difference lies in how the panel is built up, in the price per square metre and in the question of whether you cook on gas. This […]

Herringbone Backsplash: Kitchen Tiles Without Grout

Herringbone tiles in the kitchen belong to that group of patterns which never really go away. You see it in hundred year old Parisian parquet floors and in new build kitchens fitted last month. As a kitchen backsplash it works for a reason that is often overlooked: the pattern gives direction to a surface that […]

Brick Backsplash for the Kitchen: the Look Without the Grout

A brick wall in the kitchen does something few other backsplashes manage: it gives a brand new kitchen instant age. The trouble is that real brickwork behaves badly behind a hob, because every grout line is a groove that grease works its way into. This article is about how to get the look without the […]
