ROOM USE – how do you use each room and do you need to make any changes before the makeover?
• Make each room work for you and your family at this point in time and keep adapting as things change
• Balance the house. If there are a couple of rooms that are never used, but the whole family competes for space in the remaining rooms, you’ve got it wrong.
If the makeover is for selling purposes, correct room use is even more important..
• Carefully consider what your buyers need – ask your Estate Agent. Maybe a dining room, not a playroom? Maybe a third bedroom, not a study?
Here are some examples of how we changed the room use in some of our projects:
Before – Was this a living room? Dining room?
After – The estate agent can now call it a Living Room
Before – Was this an office? Snug?…
After – It was actually a Dining Room!
Before – a laundry? Dining room?
After – a spacious office

After – a sunny conservatory. Display every space or it won’t be noticed.

Before – a junk room, created when a conservatory was added. Many clients don’t use this middle room, it becomes redundant.
After – a spacious dining room, which is perfect for selling purposes

Before – a downstairs bedroom. This meant there were 4 bedrooms in a small house, and one reception room. Very unbalanced.
After – a dining room, which balanced the house more.
