For most of us the mention of a wet room conjures images of large and lavish bathrooms, big enough to fit the whole family in. But with the right design and products, you can create a practical and attractive walk-in shower in almost any size room. A cupboard under the stairs or an awkward shaped loft conversion can easily become a wet room, or you can go all out and create a large wet room as your main bathroom.

One question we have often been asked is “Where can I use tile?”. The easier question to answer would be “Where can I not use tile?”. Tile is no longer confined to the floors of bathrooms and kitchens, but has found its way into every room of the house. It has even found its way to the outdoors! Floors are no longer the only place to find this material – it can be found in places you would never expect to find it!

I recently came upon this beautiful kitchen photo on Houzz. What I loved the most was the wood plank that the designer ran up on the face of the island. This thoughtful touch added warmth to what otherwise could have been a cold room, and is great way to do something different to the island face instead of standard drywall. Additionally, it’s the same wood that was used on the floor, so you know it’s going to be durable (think of kids and guests feet kicking/scuffing up painted drywa

If you are an architect, you want to see your projects get built. One of the most enjoyable aspects about my job is going to the job site to check in on the progress of my projects as they are under construction. Most of the time I coordinate these site visits with some milestone or because the contractor has a question that requires my presence on site to answer … but I go by the job site even more than required because I truly enjoy being on site and watching how things come together.
