Homes with a country, rustic, or farmhouse interior design should seriously think about installing a gorgeous sliding solid wood door. The steel railing brackets also add a Mediaeval vibe or something reminiscent of a quaint horse farrier's workshop.

What is the purpose of a sliding door? Some homes have a small space where a swinging door would be cumbersome. In bigger rooms, a sliding door is simply for a good-looking provincial design. It can also be useful for large open archways where installing doors would be expensive and difficult.

The global artificial turf market is expected to be worth USD 6.4 billion by 2028, says data from SkyQuest Technology Consulting. The report suggests that fake grass is becoming more present in gardens and sports fields thanks to its low maintenance.

Hayfever sufferers can rejoice as artificial turf turns a corner in becoming 'chic.' Many homes in cities and urban environments face difficult conditions for a living lawn. Perhaps not enough sunlight, too much sunlight, awkward shapes and sizes of outdoor areas, or trying to create a small oasis on a hot rooftop.

An article in Architectural Digest in 2023, cites that "artificial grass—which traces its synthetic roots rather unglamorously to the athletic stadiums that first popularised Astroturf in the mid ’60s—is in vogue in certain landscape design circles."
