Before choosing a rug, you must decide what you want it to do within your space, do you want it to make a bold statement or blend in for a subtle effect? If your goal is to break up a room into different areas, the use of a number of smaller rugs can do the job beautifully.

Kia ora neighbours. Ferry services at Te Onewa Northcote Point Wharf are being suspended for six weeks, so improvements can be made to the wharf just one year after it received a $2.6 million upgrade.

Ferry services at Te Onewa Northcote Point Wharf are being suspended for six weeks, so improvements can be made to the wharf just one year after it received a $2.6 million upgrade.
The wharf closed for health and safety reasons in June 2018 after routine maintenance revealed wooden structural pieces of the wharf had deteriorated.
After project delays of more than a year due to a funding snafu and Covid-19, the wharf’s structure was repaired, and it reopened on 4 February 2021, with improved shelter, security, lighting and seating for passengers.
However, today the wharf closed for up to six weeks while Auckland Transport makes improvements to the berthing structure, including the addition of three new berthing piles and pre-mounted bollards.
Auckland Transport has not responded to my questions about why the improvements were not included in the $2.6m upgrade.
Commuters will need to catch a bus into the city or catch the ferry from Birkenhead.
