<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 4px 0px;">
It seems the big trend of 2012 appears to be ‘space’. Recent research by HSBC has stated that an attic renovation can add around £20 876 to a property. With many people in the property market having already acknowledged this their attentions are now turning to other areas that can be renovated such as the garage. Door Handles LTD who is one of the leading suppliers of internal door handles in the UK and Ireland is currently giving weekly tips on how to increase the value of properties. The company who is the exclusive stockist Dorspec has a very close relationship to the construction industry and therefore has a very good insight to the trends in this sector.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 4px 0px;">
The reason why garage renovations are so highly sought after at present is due to the fact that they are a great way to increase the living space without actually having to extend the property. Traditionally the garage is a place where a vehicle is stored but it is becoming much more common these days to see a garage used for many other purposes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 4px 0px;">
Some garages are being renovated into games rooms for children as a safe environment for their children to play, whilst still being on the property of the house. They can easily be transformed from an ordinary garage into a games room by removing any dangerous objects, adding carpet and bean bags. Televisions and games consoles are another great use for the garage as they keep any undesired noise outside of the house. However it is not just children that can take advantage of a games room. Something like a pool table or dart board can be enjoyed by the more mature house members.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 4px 0px;">
Another great use for the garage is turning it into a personal gym. Weights machines, treadmills and exercise bicycles take up a considerable amount of space in a house. They are also heavy and have the potential to damage carpet and floorboards, whereas placing these items in a garage is an ideal location as they are much easier to transport via the large garage door entrance rather than edging them through narrow doorways.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; padding: 4px 0px;">
By renovating the garage into another room such as a playroom or gym will certainly be attractive to those house hunters who are looking for that little something extra and may certainly give it an edge over other competition in a similar price range.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410044148717819584.post-8416682416720836282012-06-25T07:03:00.002-07:002012-06-25T07:03:31.741-07:00Fashion Furniture<br />

</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With business finances never been tighter than ever before it is more important than ever to ensure every penny is well spent and returns value for money. The cost of your office cleaning and exactly what you get for your money has equally fallen under the fiscal microscope like never before.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The days of non accountability should be a thing of the past, however sadly in some companies this is not the case. Examples can still be found of businesses not using the services of cleaning companies who have a proof of “time on site “system. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Principle of Office Cleaning</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The principal behind such a system is simple and extremely effective .It is an electronic logging system leaving an audit of what time and who arrived and left your office. This can then be built on reports which you can access on a regular basis. There are plenty such systems being used by reputable cleaning companies such as Ezitracker and Staffcheck however there are many more packages like these mentioned being used by cleaning companies.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The benefits behind such a system are clear, you know exactly how much time was spent cleaning your offices and precisely who was there. This ensures accountability and gives you reassurance your business has received the time you are paying for.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It also demonstrates your cleaning company (or one you are considering using) take service and value for money seriously ,which in the current climate should be a must .It also gives a good indication that the cleaning company are likely to ensure that other aspects of their business are as clean as your offices should be , for instance it is less likely that they are employing cleaners who are also on benefits or working illegally (due to lack of visa or permit etc) although it should be pointed out it is only an indicator and should not be taken as fact . The likelihood however is their organisation will be a fit and proper one as using a tracking system on their staff leaves an audit trail which authorities like department of work and pensions or borders forces could easily seize should they choose to investigate the conduct of the business and who the company employ. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Office Cleaning Company</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Therefore if you have had suspicions for some time that your offices just don’t appear to be as clean as they should be then maybe it’s time to investigate the benefits of such a system further. Let’s be honest none of us like to think we are being short changed however and your cleaning services were probably never at the top of the list of services to audit and monitor. Times and finances have changed however so maybe it’s time to check your current cleaning companies quality of service a little closer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

Style, comfort, cost and size are just a few of the factors you will need to consider when you are buying a new bed. To help the decision process, check out the top ten tips below.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt; text-align: -webkit-left; text-indent: -18pt;">1. Plan the layout of your bedroom before you buy a bed and also measure the size of the area available for the bed. It's no use looking to buy a king size bed if it's too big for your bedroom.</span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 21.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">2. Even if you plan to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>buy your bed online, visit bed showrooms and shops and test the beds out in person. Just because a review says the bed is comfortable, it might not be suitable for your requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />

Decide what style of bed you would like and which will complement your current </span><span class="klink"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">interior</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span><span class="klink"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-left-color: initial !important; border-right-color: initial !important; border-top-color: initial !important; font-size: inherit !important;">design</span></span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">. Choose a material such as wood, metal or a fabric divan bed and then decide on whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary style.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">4. Set a budget to buy a bed and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span class="klink"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">invest</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">wisely so you get the best bed you can for your money as it can be a far better long term investment than settling for a cheap bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">5. Scour the internet for<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>online bed sales and clearances<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>as you could find some great deals on the beds that you've tried and tested on the high street.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">6. If you are buying a bed for your guest room then if you can afford it and if you have the space, buy a queen size bed or larger so that you can accommodate couples.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">7. Buy a bed with the right support for your back. Firm beds are thought to be better for the back but you have to make sure you buy a bed which fits your personal requirements so the bed is supportive but still comfortable.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />

If you have issues with mobility then when you buy a bed you should consider its height. Higher level beds are ideal if you have trouble raising yourself out of bed or bending down to get in.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">9. Checkout the warranty on the bed you plan to buy and see if it is covered for defects in workmanship and manufacturing. This way if anything is wrong with your bed, you can claim a hassle-free replacement or ask for a refund.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">10. When you buy a bed find out how it will be delivered and how you will move it to your bedroom. If you buy a king size bed and it can't be dismantled then you might have trouble getting it up the stairs and into your bedroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: -webkit-left;"><br />

As a <a href="http://www.coronetcleanteam.co.uk/" target="_blank">Office Cleaning Glasgow</a> based company, Coronet know a thing or two about office cleaning.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many cleaning companies have the unenviable reputation of being considered poor in quality and sloppy in the delivery of services. As with many industries there is temptation for people with limited or no experience at all to look at the trade in general and believe they could set up a company and enter the market place.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The reality is of course somewhat different as it takes many years experience to understand the trade properly. This holds true right across the business from employing the correct staff through to understanding how to quote both competitively and accurately without cutting corners.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is vital for instance when quoting for contracts within the health sector that there is an understanding as to how long it would take to deep clean an operating theatre. Within this field of work it is essential that the work is carried out to perfection as patients lives are at risk from infection or even death at the extreme. This means a detailed knowledge of what is required is an absolute must when costing materials and time. You can hardly for instance realize after the contract is underway that because the costings were wrong, try to cut corners either by reducing time on site or use sub standard cleaning fluids and the like in a cost saving exercise.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is also important to recruit experience or have a mix of experience and trainees in order to ensure a greater standard of work is maintained .By employing experienced staff there is a higher probability that references will be available to allow a reputable cleaning company to measure a prospective new employee. It also helps when assessing an employee’s trust worthiness and ability to work unsupervised if this has been prevalent in their previous employment.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">By ensuring a good mix of experience and trainees can be highly beneficial to the company .By carefully selecting experienced staff to work alongside trainees will have the benefit of onsite training which in turn will result in more qualified staff trained to the company’s standards.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of course using best practice and employing the correct standard of staff does cost more than a company happy to cut corners however this should be offset by additional business being won by the former.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is also highly probable that a company using best practice will be around for many years to come, the same is unlikely to be said of a company ran by inexperienced personnel.<o:p></o:p></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410044148717819584.post-89759469336643923212011-11-12T00:59:00.000-08:002011-11-12T00:59:56.783-08:00Home Furnishings: Top TipsWhen buying for home furniture, there are a lot of tips that you need to be aware of in order to get the best out of the quality and from the price.

For instance, when you are buying a bed for your room, choose the one that you find at ease with. Do not be afraid to test out the bed, its foam and how it feels once you lay on it. Also do not forget to measure the size of the bed that it can fit perfectly in your room. For the home bathroom furniture, choose the ones that can fit into the space of your bathroom. Keep it elegant and simple.<br />
<br />
For the furniture in your home, the trick is finding the perfect design and color that can match your place. One home furniture store can carry countless furniture that have different color, designs and materials to suit your home. Some of them may have offers of making made to order furniture if you cannot find the design and the color that you want. These made to order furniture may cost more than the regular ones in the store, but if you have the budget and you are willing to wait, this could ensure that you will get the furniture that you want. When shopping for home furniture, it is important that you are getting items that are of good quality. You may want your furniture to last for years. Paying for cheap but low quality furniture will only cost you more in the long run because you will need to repair or buy new furniture from time to time.<br />
<br />
When choosing the sofas or armchair of your living room, the rule is like that of the bedroom, choose the sofa or armchair that can give you comfort. Your guests or family will be sitting in these sofas when you get together or watch television, a comfortable sofa means a lot. Also make sure that the sofa can match your room color. It does not have to be the same color, but something that can compliment your home. There is also other home décor furniture that you may want to add like coffee tables, side tables or a small chair or tea table. These are good furniture to add to your room if you have enough space. Overcrowding a room with furniture is never a good idea. It will only make your home look smaller and disorganized.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410044148717819584.post-75861382089869464802011-11-11T07:07:00.001-08:002011-11-11T07:07:44.062-08:00Sliding Wardrobes: Excellent storySliding wardrobe doors are the wardrobe lovers dream. I know what your thought process is; is there such a thing as a wardrobe lover? If the majority of wardrobes owned by a person are inferior, pokey and loosely held together pieces of wood, chances are not. However, if sliding wardrobe doors are the choice of wardrobe for a person, with their spaciousness, their high quality and their attractiveness, then the answer is yes; If you owned sliding wardrobe doors, you too would be a wardrobe lover.<br />
Many sliding wardrobe doors are spacious wardrobes, allowed such room by the sliding nature of the doors, which tends to move very smoothly owing to their top hung system. The sliding wardrobe doors allow owners much room to store a variety of shoes, of clothes and of other assorted ephemera, such as old Christmas cards and photographs of partners long forgotten.<br />
The typical systems used in conjunction with sliding wardrobe doors are the top hung system and the bottom rolling system, both allowing for spacious wardrobes and both allowing the doors to be slid along their hinges. The bottom rolling system is harder to manoeuvre than the top hung system, due to the weight of the doors being placed upon the rolling track, but is still far smoother and convenient than the doors of an atypical wardrobe.<br />
The pricing for sliding wardrobe doors is often very reasonable, pricing equating to the iteration of sliding wardrobe doors that is requested, altering owing to time and monetary constraints and the materials that may wish to be used. Sliding wardrobe doors providers will often offer this price once the details of the wardrobe requested are provided and will then provide the details as to when they will be assembling the wardrobe and whether the materials requested are, indeed, available.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410044148717819584.post-17321844139059884982011-11-03T06:20:00.000-07:002011-11-03T06:20:20.604-07:00Sliderobes Expensive!Sliderobes is one of the largest providers of fitted bedroom furniture in the UK.

<br />
If you are in the market for loft beds or bunk beds, a major choice is wood versus metal. Depending on the overall look and size you desire, you will want to choose a differently constructed bed. Although both materials are both sturdy and safe, many individuals choose either metal or wood when searching for the optimum bed to fit the room.<br />
<br />
Most older bunk beds are made of wood, and are generally easier to make safety modifications and enhancements. Also, the price of wooden bunk beds may be more economical, especially if you are shopping at second hand stores or using a bed previously used by a friend or family member. Furthermore, wooden bunk beds can be easily repaired, painted, stripped, or stained to create a completely different look for differing tastes.<br />
<br />
Metal bunk beds are usually made of tubular metal and thought to be a classic kid's type of bedding. How many times have you seen a red or white metal bunk bed in a child's bedroom? Metal bunk beds made in recent years are built to the set safety requirements, but if any safety requirements are not up to par, emendations are much more difficult to make.<br />
<br />
When looking at loft beds, the newer, stylish beds are made of metal. Additionally, metal loft beds take up less space so that tight spaces will not be further infringed by bulky metal creations. Also, metal beds allow a greater amount of decoration than wooden beds, so these are quite popular with the feminine crowd. Additionally, a change in style requires nothing more than a can of spray paint in the new and improved color.<br />
<br />
Wooden loft beds are most associated with college dormitories, where loft beds built of raw two by fours are king. These beds can be found around every corner of campus come move-in day, so keep your pennies for things like books and purchase a used loft bed. You may even gain a couple new phone numbers, since most college co-eds use their loft beds as a huge message pad. The plus side of a wooden loft bed is that you will save a great deal of money on paper!<br />
<br />
Whatever type of bunk bed or loft bed you choose to purchase, ensure the bed is safe. It does not matter if you are two, twelve, or twenty, safety is still important when entrusting your bodily safety while you sleep. A teenager can roll out of bed just as easily as a toddler, so be sure all beds have the proper guard rails and safety precautions. Generally, the choice between wood and metal bunk beds or loft beds is completely personal and depends on the space and the style.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410044148717819584.post-43425073622099551472011-09-12T08:22:00.000-07:002011-09-12T08:23:15.390-07:00Improve your Bedroom Ambience!Setting the mood in the bedroom is important.When your bedroom is designed to meet the mood of the room you are much happier, relax more and generally have a better experience in your bedroom. Personally, the sleep I get in my bedroom is much better when it's tidy!<br />
<br />
There are a number of things you can do to improve the ambience within your bedroom.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip 1: Clear the clutter. </span> Newpapers, magazine, that old chair in the corner which harvests clothes... they can all go. Now. A clean bedroom is a happy bedroom.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip 2: No eating in bed (unless you're unwell)</span>. I know eating in bed is common and comfortable, however how long do the mugs, plates and unwanted papers remain afterwards? Keep food out of the bedroom.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip 3: Lighting.</span> Set the ambient theme with the correct lighting. Bedside lamps are best I find.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip 4: Smells</span>. Often the reason for a poor sleep is because there is a smell in the room. Use a light airfreshner in your bedroom but try and keep it as neutral as possible.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip 5: Bedroom furniture</span>. Your bedroom furniture says a lot about your style and taste. The bedroom furniture can also set the ambience for the whole room.

<br />
The National Housing Federation's forecast states that just 63.8% of people will own their own home in the next decade. The cost of deposits, lack of recent house building and an unsettled market place are to balme for the decline.<br />
<br />
The UK Government housing minister has stated that the Government is planning a massive <a href="http://slidingmirrorwardrobes.blogspot.com/">housing reform</a> by building new homes. We recently wrote about the shared equity schemes currently on offer which could help people get on the housing market. <br />
<br />
The market has witnessed change across the board with some of the largest housing builders and bedroom manufacturers going into administration. <br />
<br />
People who own their property are move likely to spend money on their bedroom, bathroom or kitchen than those who rent. This means that trading for Sliding Mirror Wardrobes could become more volitile and difficult. <br />
<br />
Home improvement can still take place - you can improve your house with a fitted bedroom or sliding mirror wardrobe and in turn improve the quality, and value, of your house. We will likely see the fitted bedroom providers lowering their prices to encourage home owners to spend money on their house.

The website for Sliding Wardrobe World is colourful, informative and clean looking (free from clutter - a benefit of owning a Sliding Wardrobe). The website can be found at www.slidingwardrobeworld.com<br />
<br />
From what we can see there are positives and negatives to this website. We've reviewed the website here;<br />
<br />
Positives:<br />
<br />
- The website is informative with a video to keep people's attention<br />
- The colour scheme is friendly and appealing<br />
- The website has social marketing built in with Facebook and Twitter<br />
- There is a range of brochures available<br />
- The special offers at the bottom really capture your attention<br />
- The website allows you to pay online for a wide range of solutions<br />
<br />
Negatives:<br />
<br />
- The site has a strange tab on the right hand side, what is this? Well, it turns out it's a special offers page.<br />
- Who do I phone? The telephone number is for London and Sheffield - but I'm in Newcastle, Glasgow, Cornwall... The website needs a 0800 number!<br />
- The imagery on the about us page (big random building) is out of place and cold / strange looking<br />
- Does Sliding Wardrobe World only operate in London / Sheffield or around the UK?<br />
- The logo on Sliding Wardrobe World doesn't take you back to the home page<br />
- The Blog is a month out of date<br />
<br />
Overall, Sliding Wardrobe World is a sleek, sexy and informative website with the latest technology built into the website. Perhaps an online system where a client can track their order would be beneficial. The website is well structured and relatively clear about the services and prices.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">“Innovate or Die” is the well known expression – well, that’s exactly what Oskar Zieta, a polish furniture designer has done. <span> </span>His innovative furniture is more than hot air.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The designer has managed to create chairs, stools and ladders, with the latest invention being a coat stand which requires little effort to erect. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The picture shows some or the inventors latest creations and we think they are excellent! Each piece of furniture uses air within the metal elements to construct the furniture. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The 36 year old designer is an architect by trade and has studied the process of stabilising sheet metal. To make his products he takes sheet metal which is cut extremely thin (1mm) and shaped accordingly. It’s then laser welded into place before being inflated with pressurised air. This then expands the metal into the appropriate shape.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The team are already looking into other metals and applications for the invention which could include bridges and an ultra-lightweight wind rotor. Further testing is taking place to see where other metals would work within the same process including copper and aluminium.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Zieta has said "My dream project is constructions in space, where FiDU's ultra-lightness and possibilities of volumetric expansion could be crucial," he says.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

It should be a space where you feel comfortable and happy. However, we all know that our bedroom can become one of the messiest rooms in the house!<br />

The furniture can improve your mood but also store away all of that clutter.</div><div><br />
</div><div><a href="http://slidingmirrorwardrobes.blogspot.com/">Bedroom storage ideas</a> can be freestanding wardrobes through to fully fitted bedroom wardrobes. Alternatively you may choose modern, minimal furniture to give you a feeling of wide open spaces - this can often lead to a lack of space to store clothing, shoes, handbags, suits, ties, extra bedding and every day personal essentials. </div><div><br />
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">How to choose your bedroom furniture?</span><br />
<div><br />
</div></div><div>Stop. Think. Review. Buy - it's our simple moto when purchasing furniture. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Stop and think about who you are, what your bedroom should say about you and what you expect from your bedroom. If you get the right furniture will you still have to re-paint? Is the lighting a problem too? Make the furniture part of the overall review.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Once you know who you are and your individual style and requirements from the furniture then you can start to look at companies who provide your type of furniture. If your taste is unique it may be a difficult task however the internet has a wealth of knowledge when selecting your bedroom furniture. </div><div><br />
</div><div>When you've found your bedroom furniture at a price you are happy with then all that's left to do is to purchase it. If you're buying online remember to measure up before purchasing! </div><div><br />

The information was gathered from Tenant Services and the local Government.<br />
<br />
45,000 new homes have been built within the bracket of <a href="http://slidingmirrorwardrobes.blogspot.com/">affordable housing schemes</a>. In 2006/07, 5% of houses being built were part of the affordable housing schemes. In 2009/10 it's up 8% to 13%.<br />
<br />
The affordable housing schemes include shared ownership and equity support options being provided by house builders and the local Government. This support has made owning a property possible for buyers unable to find the minimum deposits or who can't afford the repayments on the full mortgage. <br />
<br />
The price of properties has declined in recent years as a result of the recession however the property prices are still too expensive for most first time buyers to afford. The support to create affordable housing supports local businesses and house builders alike, not to mention the first time buyers themselves.<br />
<br />
Some shared equity schemes are paying as much as 40% of the property value upfront, leaving the house buyer to obtain a mortgage for the remaining 60%. The 40% loan within the shared equity scheme usually lasts for 10 years - by which time the property value should have increased and your mortgage will have been paid for 10 years.

The <a href="http://slidingmirrorwardrobes.blogspot.com/">home buyer research</a> compared the difference for first time buyers in the 1960's where the average age was 23 years of age.<br />
<br />
Over 53% of potential house buyers between the ages of 25-34 don't think they will ever be able to afford to buy a house. Half of the would be buyers aged 25-34 believe they will never be able to afford a deposit unless their circumstances change. This would include receiving a bonus from work or a lump sum from parents.<br />
<br />
London house buyers face the toughest task of gathering a deposit due to the cost of the properties. Family members across the survey are being relied upon to support their offspring and meet the funding gap.<br />

Lighting, whether natural or from an appliance, can revamp a dull room to a welcoming area in your house.<br />
<br />
There are some tips we have to brighten up those dark spaces;<br />
<br />
1. Use the sun where possible - open up your blinds / curtains and let the sunlight brighten your room. Be careful though it doesn't damage wood!<br />
<br />
2. Too much furniture is one of the reasons a room can look dark and uninviting, especially if the clutter is stopping people accessing parts of your home. Clearing the clutter will allow you to improve your house space.<br />
<br />
3. The wallpaper and paint you use makes a huge difference. Use light colours to improve your house.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410044148717819584.post-74690667501039901322011-08-18T05:50:00.000-07:002011-08-18T05:50:58.845-07:00IKEA or Fitted Bedroom Furniture<strong> Decisions, Decisions.</strong><br />

When you're buying sliding mirror wardrobes or a fitted bedroom you want to know you are receiving a good deal, with a company you can trust and are capable of providing an excellent service.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>The Right Company</u></strong><br />
<br />
Choosing the right company should be taken seriously - the wrong company can give you the bedroom from a nightmare. Shop around for the best deal and bargain with companies. You can take your design ideas to most companies and they will accomodate you.<br />
<br />
The price is important for a fitted bedroom but the quality of the sliding mirror wardrobes should be high on your list too!<br />
<br />
Ensure you get a guarantee with your bedroom - at least 10 years is always best.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Big is not always best!</u></strong><br />
<br />
The largest providers for fitted bedroom furniture are not always best. There are companies which are focussed solely on profit and advertise heavily to get people to buy their furniture. This can mean you have to pay for their advertising - not necessarily for the best quality of furniture.<br />
<br />
There is also companies who franchise fitted bedrooms so it's purely about profit and cutting costs! The smaller companies can give you excellent quality furniture, cheaper than the largest companies and with better customer service. Shop around and go with a company you are satisfied with.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>The P's</u></strong><br />
<br />
When you're purchasing your sliding mirror wardrobe or fitted bedroom furniture ask yourself about the P's:<br />
<br />
Price: Is it in my price range? Is it value for money?<br />
People: Is the person overly salesy? Do they care about me or the sale?<br />
Product: What is the quality like? Does it meet my expectations? Can the company deliver what I want and need?<br />
