Tiles may be the traditional go-to for bathroom walls and floors, but they're no longer the only option worth considering. Sleek, fuss-free and available in a huge array of designs, wet wall panels are fast becoming the modern renovator’s secret weapon. Not only do they sidestep the fuss and maintenance of grout lines, but they offer a stylish and low-maintenance alternative that’s easy to fit and even easier to live with.

It’s the first thing visitors notice and the last space you pass through each day, yet the porch remains one of the most overlooked elements of home design. Done well, it can frame your home and play a vital role in creating lasting kerb appeal. But get it wrong, and it can throw off the entire front of your home.

The answer isn’t as simple as whipping out your tape measure, as it requires staying on the right side of UK building regulations.

When it comes to hardworking areas of the home, your boot room flooring might just top the list. It’s the first line of defence between the great outdoors and your carefully curated interiors, working diligently to catch the worst of the mud, mess and mayhem that life (and British weather) throws at it. Benches and coat hooks are all well and good, but if the floor can’t handle muddy boots and wet dogs, the whole setup falls apart.
