Don’t move, improve! Homes & Gardens n


With house prices always on the rise, it seems that the best philosophy for a change is not to move, but to improve...


And the start of a new year is as good a time as any to start planning your internal revolution. There’s plenty of others doing the same – recent research


by Halifax Insurance has shown an increase of 183 per cent in applications lodged to renovate basements, with a 49 per cent rise in single-storey extensions, as well as a 43 per cent uplift in loft conversions. Of course, not everyone has the financial clout or space to


carry out that level of change, but if you are stuck with the same four walls, it’s quite easy to effect a huge change by using what space you have. Statement surfaces and lighting are one way to bring that change to fruition. A feature wall will transform any room in double-quick time, and the use of perimeter lighting will bring it all to life. Have a look at what you’ve got and make the most of the


space. Got high ceilings? Brilliant! Mirrored storage units can make the room look even larger, and if you use them correctly, you can stack them higher to increase the storage space in your room – just keep the day-to-day items on the lower shelves. Take your time. It doesn’t all have to be done at once,


after all. Doing your rooms in phases keeps you focused on one task at a time, and means your home always remains habitable throughout the period of your renovations. Think


BEDROOM & KITCHEN FLAIR LTD Est since 1978


about what rooms you’ll need the most at various times – for example, you wouldn’t want your kitchen out of action later in the year when you might have a Christmas dinner to plan. Take stock – what went well? What could have gone


better? Recharge your batteries before you go headlong into another project. All in all, as the property market changes, you may well be


better off changing the interior rather than going through the stress of a big move – you just need to think outside the box.
