  • How can I improve the look of my staircase?

    Hi. I’m thinking of improving the look of my home’s staircase but I’m not quite sure how to go about it. See, I’ve considered, for example, adding wallpaper to the front-facing parts of the steps. What sort of wallpaper patterns/colours would work here and is there anything in particular to consider when applying wallpaper to stair risers? As in, is the process any different than adding wallpaper to a wall (except for cutting it out so that it will fit on the stair risers of course). Hope all this makes sense. Looking forward to hearing back!

    When to replace gas boiler

    Should we replace our gas boiler before the law changes in 2025? Our boiler still works but it's almost ten years old and I'm worried about what we'll do if it breaks after that time.
