Socket to the dolly-rocker gang
Article Abstract:
Interior designers believe that high quality light switches and sockets play a key role in the overall image of a home. It is not advisable to try to economize on electrical fittings, but there are ways in which cheap fittings can be improved if it is not possible to replace them with more expensive ones. These include painting white switches with eggshell paint to match the wallpaper. Where sockets cannot be replaced, they can be disguised with a shaped cover in gilt or silver.

Going against the grain
Article Abstract:
The British are still not completely convinced of the beauty of knotted wood painted in bright colours to show the flaws in the grain, according to furniture designer Robert Conway. His Conversation Pieces, which are free-standing items made from kiln-dried English Redwood, are extremely unusual, and do not appeal to everybody. However, his newly formed Handmade Furniture Design & Production Co. is offering pieces which are softer and less uncompromising.

Hot nights in the garden
Article Abstract:
Latest trends in garden and terrace furniture in the UK include equipment to provide heat so that people can remain outside after they have finished eating. Chimenea, for example, has a hand-made, kiln-fired Mexican wood-burning stove, while Continental Awnings has gas-fired patio heaters. Charcoal supply company Big K has introduced an Italian-made barbecue with a chimney, while Stiffkey Lampshop has a selection of brass Indian lanterns.
