Coat and Hat Hooks and Hangers in the Latest Designs

Image
One of the problems that we all have in the UK is that it rains. In fact, it rains quite a lot, depending where you are. The wind also blows. When it gets cold in the winter it snows too. Even in the summer we can have hailstorms. That means that most of us who have any common sense have hats and coats so that we can venture out down to the shops, or take the dog for a walk, the kids to nursery school, or even just protect ourselves from a huge downpour when we go from the front door to the car: it may only be a few seconds, but you can get really wet. And there are many occasions when it has to be done, no matter what the weather is doing. The designs of these wall hat and coat hooks are nothing short of amazing, such as the Umbra Sticks Multi Hook which is available in white, grey, black, and espresso colours. Very cleverly designed, it looks like a piece of wall art but contains five flip down hooks for use which are concealed in the body of the hanger. Just flip them d...

Modern Barware for Your Home Bar

If you are like many men today and have your own man cave, you no doubt have a home bar included in it as well. You may not even have a man cave, but many homes today choose to have a bar, which might be where there was once a dining room, since a lot of families today eat in the kitchen.  If you have a bar, there is on thing that is certain and that is that you will need some modern barware to go with it.

You can just pop it on the bar – it is made of a light aluminium with a polished chrome finish and sturdy base – and you just rotate it to select the drink of choice and push the glass up under the optic in the same way as in the pub. It pours a perfect 1.5 oz shot every time, and...

Modern Clocks – An Essential for Everyday Living

Image
It is often said that there are only two things in life which are absolutely certain, and they are death and taxes. However, whoever said that missed something out: that is that everyone, without exception, needs to be able to tell what time it is – and often many times a day or night. This is why there is such a huge range of modern clocks available in all sorts of designs to cater for every taste. Modern clocks include wall clocks, mantel clocks, illuminated clocks, world time zone clocks, alarm clocks, digital clocks, mirror wall clocks, pendulum clocks, large clocks, small clocks – the list is almost endless.  For instance, in mantel clocks, the manufacturer Kare produces a vintage Roman wood mantel clock which is square and comprised of a sheesham wood surround with brass fittings and Roman numerals. Arti & Mestieri have the Robin mantel clock in a silver metal which is described as funky and unusual. It is most certainly both of those and has to be s...
