Architecture and interior design thread

That sentence does sound like a massive b/s, but most of it will be imported, have you checked the chance that they are the seller on amazon and potentially buying direct from them would be better.. [business address is a big old building on the maps]

They are very tactile and an organic shape.
I like them but it would depend on the other textures, if you had some grainy quartz worktop/terrazzo then yes. white tiles and stainless worktop then no.

the Modern House chap talks about materials and touch points like handles and switches as you interact with them every day.

Difficult to work out exactly what is usefully available on Amazon - there seems to be so much! Many of the fittings look similar to the color & co ones, which makes me think they're probably all coming from a limited number of suppliers... hard to work out which is the 'original source' though (thank you for the building lookup - good spot, and hadn't thought of that!)

You're right,, I've only given it the briefs of looks , but very often the hardware of higher class blinds is a standardised fitting (and sometimes too uniform) I've always thought the class of 'those' blinds was the simplicity (most basic fixings)- having them embroiled with fancy steel fixings catches may not feel right (miss match/ true to the blind) - especially as they just start to gather dust

We have a quartz top and green marbled slate worktop. Definitely big on texture. Sadly the wife won this battle and I think the kitchen is worse off :(

Loads of mid old ercol type furniture will have them blend in matchy matchy

pick your battles...

what do we want: shit that we can't buy what our great granny had that turns out to be really quiet good..
when do we want it: I've seen a photo

So many people told us to keep our bathroom when we bought - its orignal to the house from '69, the orignal wallpaper was also hot pink

How did they have Avocado bathrooms in the 60s when everyone knows Avocados weren't invented until 2004?

Hard to find a loo seat in pink these days

Love it. Would’ve looked even sweeter with saffron yellow walls.

If only you could have smelled it - carpet tiles round the loo

Bro!

He needs a ply one with a doggie fur top sheet.

Why is there a kitchen roll dispenser in your bathroom?

That pink sink is pretty sweet though

I definitely remember reading about exotic avocado pears in the 80s

My kids still love that book

Not that bad, its become easier in the past 5 years!

Would have, took me an age to find a suitable pink toilet when we redid ours, had to settle for something more peach in the end.

Unique brickwork seen in Woolwich last night
