Painting the shed is the perfect solution if you're looking to reinvigorate your back garden. Here's a step-by-step guide to painting your wooden shed with no mistakes...

There’s a school of thought that says that radiators should be painted in dark colours – ideally black – as they’re better at absorbing heat and will thus be more efficient. But is there any truth in this?

Have you ever wondered why radiators are so often to be found placed under windows? It used to be necessity and now it’s more a matter of personal choice...

Radiators are usually quite a large feature in a room but can get overlooked when you’re decorating. If yours is looking a bit tired and lets the room down, why not repaint rather than replace?
