Bathroom ideas
Two dispensers for soap and lotion in combination with a shelf have resulted in a new organiser aid for the bathroom called Avia Shelf Center. The system is available in two colours: the white dispensers can be combined with transparent green or blue shelves. The chrome version, Avia Elite, comes with a colourless transparent shelf plus two sets of knobs in chrome or satin chrome. The dispensers have a window to show how much remains. This “dispenser shelf” can be fixed to any type of surface by means of the silicone provided and double-sided tape. It can also be screwed into position.

Creative finishes
Flock Development has added a crackle stamp and the “Woodgrainer” kit to its decor range. The crackle stamp (right in picture) allows a positive crackle finish to be produced with standard colours without any pattern repetition. A negative finish can be achieved with glazes and special effect paints. The “Woodgrainer” with its patented design is intended to give surfaces a natural-looking woodgrain appearance. For working in tight areas there is a “corner tool” in three different patterns.

Vertical toolbox
Curver has expanded its DIY selection by the addition of a vertical toolbox. The front and the lid open up so that the user has a clear view of the contents and can simply reach for individual tools. A special hinge allows both parts to be folded right back so that the toolbox stands firm even when wide open. Two removable, transparent lidded containers for small items and one further container inside the box offer storage space for screws, nails and other small items.
