Renovations

Bathroom Renovation

This bathroom has the feel of a spa, compared to the empty shell of the ripped out bathroom we found. Lighting through the glass blocks adds symmetry and structure to this relaxing space. Marble-effect porcelain tiles add a sense of luxury. The renovation cost around £4,000, the increase in appeal for the property was around £11,000.

Interior Design

Glass Blocks

The use of glass blocks was a clever and stylish design choice to solve the problem of allowing light into the rooms beyond, and to make a statement in the living area.

Media Wall

We wanted to make the most of the view of the garden, so the location of the sofa was moved to the wall under the glass blocks. As there was a radiator along that wall, we fit a modern upright radiator to save wall space.  The room was lacking warmth and didn’t feel cosy, and apart from the view to the garden or the television in the corner, there wasn’t a focal point. We decided a fire was the best bet and had options of a wood burner, gas fire or electric fire. However, we love the impressive feel of the real flame effect electric fires and thought a large one would look good, but there wasn’t enough space to fit one between the sofa and television.

The solution was to mount the television above the fire, creating storage space either side of the fake chimney breast.

Garden Design

Garden Design

A well designed garden can add 10-20% to the value of a property. This garden was a blank canvas when we started, apart from a well-established orchard which we kept and turned into a mini woodland area complete with rustic seating.  More seating areas were selected to make the most of privacy from neighbours, and to catch the sun (or shade) at different times of the day.
