Home & Garden

The bathroom is a very important part of one’s home. It is a safe space where you can refresh after a long day at work, relax and enjoy peaceful moments of solitude after stressful times or embrace your singing talent. Having a large, spacious bathroom is on the wish list of many home owners, but there are ways in which even a small bathroom can become a lovely, enjoyable and practical place. Follow these simple tips to get the most out of your small bathroom.

Fire pits are a great way for outdoorsy people to get more use out of their backyard during the colder months. They also make for nice gathering spots at other times of the year, where you can roast marshmallows and weenies, talk to friends or just unwind after a long day at work.

Cycling makes the whole body move which helps improve blood flow, lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health too.

Bike sheds for road bikes are going to be anywhere between 38 cm and 46 cm wide, whilst sheds for mountain/ hybrid bikes are between 51 cm and 61 cm wide. You'll need to measure the height and length of your bicycle too and take into consideration the accessories that come with it. Usually if you have only one bike, you'll need a shed that's about 1.8 m long and about 60 cm wide. 2 bikes will require a shed of the same length and width of 90 cm. Just add about 30 cm of width for every bike.

All you'd need to do is buy a hot tub. Hot tubs are the best way to unwind after a long day, boost your mood and overall health. But where do you begin?

Sometimes, small things can make a big impact. This is especially true in home interior. Oftentimes, it's the small decorative elements that tie the space together and make it look complete. If you still have a feeling that something is missing but don't have a...
