phone: 023 9245 3045
For a stunning, hardwearing dining room floor, choose from Kährs' stylish, sustainable wood products.
 
Kährs' award-winning range includes over 140 wood floor designs, made in Sweden from sustainable timber and featuring a nature-friendly construction.  
 
Designs span from traditional rustic one-strip boards and parquet patterned designs, to simple even-grained floors. Many feature on-trend stained finishes, as well as hand-crafted surface treatments, including brushing, sawing, smoking, handscraping and bevel details.
 
Commitment to the environment is reflected throughout Kährs' production and floors are constructed using a multi-layered method, based on the original ‘parquet’ design invented and patented by Kährs in 1941. As well as providing greater stability, it also uses resources in the most nature-friendly way.
 
Floors also feature Kährs Woodloc® joint, which promotes a fast glueless installation and eliminates gapping throughout the lifetime of the floor.

Chandelier made from old kitchen utensils by Madeleine Boulesteix

Madeleine Boulesteix

Madeleine is based in South London and South Devon

I’ve been making chandeliers using recycled materials for over 20 years. It started after finding 40 faceted glass drops in some rubbish. I wanted to make myself a chandelier that looked opulent but was made from humble objects. I found metal kitchen items for the structure at car boot sales and scrap yards. They seem nice jaunty objects with more potential so I liberate them from their domestic duties by incorporating them into my chandeliers. I love thrift and the challenge of re-using.

Edward Bulmer Natural Paints

Edward Bulmer Natural Paint

Court Of Noke, Pembridge, Herefordshire, HR6 9HW

phone: 01544 388535

Eco-friendly paints are paints that don't off-gas and don't contain plastic. Edward Bulmer Natural Paint offers an extensive palette of wonderful colours and a paint that is plastic free and breathable. The paint is microporous which means it lets walls and woodwork breathe naturally. It does not form a plastic film which traps in moisture and mould. Owners of heritage and listed buildings understand the importance of breathable paints on old substrates but this is just as important for modern buildings. The matt chalky finish of our natural paints has both exceptional depth and a subtle response to light, which synthetic paints can't mimic. Colours are formulated by Edward Bulmer and the paint is manufactured in the EU.
