This blog will cover interior design much more extensively, including design ideas, current interior trends and design news. Think of it as a huge addition to this web site, which will still be updated regularly with information on current trends.
When a new product is offered designer's minds immediately start turning over imagining how the material might be used, and what effect it will have on the feel of the home. Where do our design team draw their inspiration from?

A home is quite simply just another building – a square box with all the appeal of a three-day old sandwich. However add a little individuality and timeless flair, and your home will reflect your personality and become the envy of your neighbours for years to come.
Today homes may come in any shape or size, and the range of building materials available can stagger the imagination. However, despite advances in technology and the introduction of an increasing number of alternative products, bricks remain one of the most popular building materials in home design.
So how have bricks stood the test of time? Fired clay bricks are second to none for durability, longevity, fire resistance, acoustic performance, recyclability and are virtually maintenance free throughout their lifetime. Add to this the virtually limitless number of looks that can be achieved and the answer becomes clear. However even brick can feel mass-produced to those seeking a timeless, hand-crafted quality for their home...
Selkirk’s Crafted Collection embodies a breadth of colours and textures, featuring traditional pressed clay bricks with face cracking, bar marking and hearting. These pressed bricks can be recognised by their solid construction and the Selkirk name ‘pressed’ into the soft clay before it is fired.
The individuality and distinct natural beauty of pressed bricks is well-suited to expressing your design goals through both modern and classic architecture. Produced with clay from the Victorian goldfields using manufacturing methods of times past, Selkirk pressed clay bricks are hand-blended, vibrant and full of character.
For even greater design flexibility and character, you might consider one of the two made-to-order options Selkirk specially offer their customers:
