			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In many of the new built homes in Britain, buyers might find that space may become somewhat of an issue. Of-course that lack of space has a knock on effect as home owners try to furnish their bedrooms, kitchens and dining rooms. This is not all bad &#8211; as the minimalistic look will suit some people. Less space equates to less mess-well that&#8217;s what they say, anyway!<br />
<span id="more-1964"></span></p>
<p>With less space to actually build your home, designers are now maximising the space available by combining living-rooms, dinning-rooms and kitchens into impressive open areas. This may have one drawback, as when you open the front door your full downstairs comes into view, this means that it has always has to be tidy and well presented.</p>
<p>The solution for people who have bought open spaced homes is try to use vocal points to distract visitors&#8217; eyes away from other areas of the room. As they say, first impressions last and having a great focal point will insure that people leave your home with nothing but praise. In open spaced homes there is no better vocal point than a well laid <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/quattro/set">black gloss dining table</a> with matching <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/dining-chairs/">dining chairs</a>. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a discussion the other day regarding my all-time favourite books. Now we all have heard of <strong>coffee table books</strong> meant either to impress or to strike up conversation (this is a great ice breaker if your inviting people over whom your not too familiar with). So, I thought I&#8217;d post my favourite <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/easy-chairs-loungers/">Easy Chair</a> books, for those of us that want to relax after a hard day&#8217;s work and can&#8217;t be bothered by being zombified by the TV schedule. My choice might suprise a few who read this blog on a regular basis, then again, perhaps not.<br />
<span id="more-1840"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve stayed clear from being too pretentious and made my choice from books which I myself would pick up again and read whilst relaxing.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my selection&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ash-road.jpg" alt="ash-road" title="ash-road" width="79" height="129" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1841" /><br />
10. Ash Road : reminds me of my childhood and the first book I ever read from start to finish.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/along-came-a-spider.jpg" alt="along-came-a-spider" title="along-came-a-spider" width="83" height="135" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1842" /><br />
9. Along Came A Spider : I love thrillers and James Patterson is THE expert at keeping you guessing till the very end.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/jurassic-park.jpg" alt="jurassic-park" title="jurassic-park" width="95" height="142" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1843" /><br />
8. Jurassic Park : Much better than the film as your mind&#8217;s eye paints the terrifying image of being chased by a dinosaur.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/outsiders.jpg" alt="outsiders" title="outsiders" width="78" height="129" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1844" /><br />
7. Outsiders : A great tale of social class divide in 60&#8242;s America with gang warfare between the Greasers and the Socs.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/good-omens.jpg" alt="good-omens" title="good-omens" width="84" height="143" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1845" /><br />
6. If you like Terry Pratchett then you&#8217;ll love Good Omens. Very funny and very clever take on the anti-christ.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/it.jpg" alt="it" title="it" width="75" height="129" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1846" /><br />
5. IT : Classic horror from Stephen King, again let&#8217;s the inner-eye create frightening imagery thanks to the vivid writing skills of King.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/trainspotting.jpg" alt="trainspotting" title="trainspotting" width="84" height="133" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1847" /><br />
4. Trainspotting : I had read this before the film was released and thoroughly enjoyed them both.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1984.jpg" alt="1984" title="1984" width="78" height="135" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1848" /><br />
3. 1984 : Classic, George Orwell, peeks into the future with uncanny accuracy and depicts a totalitarian society.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/paddy-clarke-ha-ha-ha.jpg" alt="paddy-clarke-ha-ha-ha" title="paddy-clarke-ha-ha-ha" width="83" height="129" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1849" /><br />
2. Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha : A wonderful story of a young boy growing up in Ireland having to cope with the archaic world of a 10 year old plus the seperation of his parents.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/greatest-footballer-you-never-saw.jpg" alt="greatest-footballer-you-never-saw" title="greatest-footballer-you-never-saw" width="84" height="130" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1850" /><br />
1. The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw : Most people have heard of George Best, but how many have heard of Robin Friday? Tragic true story of a wonderful, gifted footballer whose hedonistic lifestyle would end his playing career and his young life.</p>
<p>There you have it! 10 personal choices of books to get comfortable with in your Easy Chair. Now, what&#8217;s your choice?</p>

Although we did receive lots of comments and praise for our old design we wanted to continue to push the boundaries of giving our visitors in the ultimate user experience. </p>
<p><span id="more-1591"></span></p>
<p>The new site allows us to highlight better the unique <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk">modern furniture</a> styles which we promote on the site. We wanted the furniture pieces to be the centre of attention and we feel we have achieved this.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this week, BBC aired its new series of <strong>The Apprentice</strong>. Now, if your like me, you&#8217;ll have given this program a wide berth over the years (I&#8217;m more a Dragon&#8217;s Den kinda guy). However, this year, I have been challenged to give the show a chance to breath and I&#8217;m bound to be hooked come the end, we&#8217;ll see&#8230; After missing Wednesday&#8217;s night screening I watched the program again via the BBC&#8217;s iPlayer Online (<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0071b63">www.bbc.co.uk/theapprentice/</a>).<br />
<span id="more-1583"></span></p>
<p>After Allan, sorry, Sir Allan Sugar, <strong>bollocked, bashed, and belittled</strong> the 15 apprentices (there should have been 16, but ones nerves got the better of himself and failed to turn-up for the start of the show) they are split into Boys vs The Girls and told to go and earn some money as a washing / cleaning company would. </p>
<p>The Boys, undermanned, somehow, made a better profit than the girls team and were carted off in a torrent of high-fives to the Studio Apartment, where they&#8217;ll be staying for the duration of their time on the show. It must be said that there were some stunning <a href="http://www.uk-contemporary-furniture.co.uk/">modern furniture</a> on show, which we hope to focus more on, in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>So, that left the Girls to bicker amongst themselves and two individuals from eight to face Sir Allan and to be ungraciously &#8216;Fired&#8217;. Anita, the girl who was left holding the calculator and, so-called, in charge of the teams budget was the first to fall. And there it ended. So, I&#8217;m intrigued by The Apprentice, as I&#8217;m wanting to see which characters shall emerge the strongest in the coming weeks, nowhere near hooked, but let&#8217;s wait and see, eh? </p>
