Need a quick / cheap fix for these stairs. Previously covered with Lino, had LVT but couldn’t cover the stairs. Any ideas? Eg get them plastered and paint? Cover with something? I have some gold nosing that could cover the join but need solution for the exposed wood.

what can i do for this corner as seen from kitchen
Comments (3)Very difficult to see clearly, a lot of clutter in the way, if you are doing this job yourself then measure the area(s), look up up how to measure your garden advice online, measure your walls, measure what you will retain such as the shed. Get an A3 tracing paper book, sheets of A 3 white paper, eraser, pencils ruler etc. If the A3 white paper needs to be increased, tape 2 sheets together. Draw the plan to scale 1cm to the metre for example. Put in existing paths, steps services, north. Now you have a very basic plan. What kind of garden do you want? How would you divide it up to suit your needs. Do you a patio for table /chairs? Do you want to grow some veg/fruit in raised beds. Or do you want a lawn only with borders and shrubs, place your tracing paper over your plan and draw your desires on that, do as many tracings as you want, until you are satisfied with the results. Use coloured pencils. The walls need uniformity of colour, the shed could do with reprinting...start researching materials, gardening books, magazines, online for ideas that appeal to you and suit your plot. Do you have a budget in mind? If you are not engaging a landscape designer to do a complete plan for you then perhaps a consultation would be a good idea, once you have got the bones of what you want together. In the process of tackling your garden plan you will learn a lot and hopefully gain much satisfaction....See MoreNorth facing city garden: what frivolous thing would you do?
Comments (0)I live in a captail city and I'm soon moving into an apartment with a 400 square foot/38 square meter (north facing) garden. For a city center (and for someone who has only ever had a balcony) this feels like a lot of space! I want to do something really special (maybe a sauna and a fire pit), but what would you do if you had a mostly sunless city garden to play with? Hot tub? Chicken coop? Trampoline? Art shed? I'm looking for fun ideas that inspire me (and then I'll worry about budget and planning approval). Thanks!...See MoreCouch too big for the room, what to do to make it less awkward

last yearLVT can be laid over steps and stairs, just need a good fitter. However, there are bullnose edges that may do the job, so worth a google.
