read moreHow Does Linoleum Flooring Promote a Healthy, Eco-Friendly Home?
What is linoleum flooring? Many people confuse it with vinyl flooring or even (probably more due to the ‘l’ at the start than any other factor) laminate flooring. However, natural linoleum is distinctly different from both of these alternatives.

Why does white tend to be the standard colour for bathroom suites? It’s hard to deny that, in this context, white has many merits. For a start, its neutral appearance can help to ensure that the bathroom is not at risk of coming across as aesthetically outdated only a few years down the line.
