Home and garden directories

homes2gardens >>

homes2gardens offers an ever expanding directory of useful sites covering a full range of topics to do with the home and garden (rather obviously). This is one of only a few UK based specialised directories and is organised into a logical and easily navigable structure with helpful descriptions alongside each link. Definitely worth a look either simply for browsing or if you're looking for a particular category of website.

RealHomeGuide.com >>

We really liked this site. Its clean, simple and surprisingly well organised directory of suppliers in the fields of home improvement, architecture, landscape and garden, home decorating, construction and real estate. Sub-categories are structured in a logical manner and links are clearly labelled with the location and nature of the business or website to save you time.

DoItYourself.com >>

This site is a little clutterd, however, it covers a wide range of categories of suppliers within the following fields of DIY - build or remodel, repair or fix-it, decorate, outdoors, living and finance.

This diverse and informative website is packed with practical instructions and ideas, brought to you by the recognised US magazine publication. The site is divided into sections covering topics such as food, the garden, house and home, entertaining, crafts, the family and shopping. Last time we visited interesting features included a series of 'quick and easy decorating' articles, 'how to projects' and 'craft basics'.

This site is both a useful directory of links to relevant websites covering interior design and crafts, and a source of useful advice tips and feature articles for styling your home.  
Home & Garden from Women.com >>

The home and garden 'channel' within one of the leading US women's portals, features a wide range of interesting and informative articles. At our last visit, main categories included Decorating & Design, Home Repair, Ideas & Inspiration, and a 'How to' section. There are also a number of busy message boards and links to several excellent sites from top American home interest magazines such as House Beautiful, Good Housekeeping and Country Living.
DIY sites
DIY.com from B&Q >>

B&Q's online store not only allows you to order a diverse range of products (large and small) for home delivery, but also provides real added value in terms of information services. The site offers useful DIY advice and inspiration covering building, gardening, decorating and design, carpenty, plumbing and electrical. 'How to' articles are intelligently put together, specifying the skill level required, tips on safety and a list of the items you will need to comlete the project (linking directly to the product ready to purchase online). Other useful services include a DIY glossary, buyers guides, calculators and a store locator.

Online magazines
House Beautiful >>

usf.jpg (32656 bytes)

This is an inspiring and insightful online magazine providing a wide range of interesting feature articles and other resources. The bonus is that House Beautiful also offers a number of handy interactive tools  including Interactive Windows. This tool allows you to 'mix and match' window treatments such as curtains, blinds, shades, valances and swags, or to select standalone treatments to view separately. Unfortunately, the last time we checked the tool did not allow you to change the colours of fabrics displayed.
