Our favourite website for inspirational ideas for every room is www.houzz.com where you can compile your own Idea-books for every room.

Other design

sectional tiling.

A full height glass walled shower is an alternative 
to shower boxes.

Why We're Here
There are many self building and renovating resources. In our attempt to research our own projects we have discovered helpful people, fascinating websites, bargain suppliers and collated so much information that we thought should put it into some sort of order. 
So we designed an ever expanding  website that would help us, and hopefully help you. Whether you are a business, a home builder or a renovator, we would also love to hear from you with anything you would like to add to the site that might help others.
Contact
If you would like to be kept up to date with the latest products, info and competitions, just fill in the contact form at the link below. You will be automatically entered into the monthly competition. You will only receive sporadic emails from Building & Renovating, and no-one else.
