Looking for inspiration for your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom project? There’s nothing like snooping around someone else’s home renovation to get ideas (virtually, or otherwise). I’d say one of the best parts of my jobs is that I get to see inside so many lovely kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms and pinch ideas from other homeowners to introduce into my own spaces. There is a hazard of this job though: sometimes there are just too many ideas and my new favourite…
Looking back, the most difficult part of the renovation was at the beginning, deciding on what sort of space we wanted and trying to visualise it before any building started – plus wanting to get it all right, so we would have no regrets about not doing something…
What’s Christmas without sharing a bit of Christmas renovation cheer? So many of the homeowners I speak to aim to get their new kitchen, bedroom or bathroom project finished by Christmas – it’s THE milestone.

Just because it is used less often,…
Whether you're facing a tricky corner or simply want to own a piece of bespoke furniture that's truly unique to you, made-to-measure options might be just the thing you're looking for …
Welcome the January 2021 issue of Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms magazine. This month I am asking: why is it that parties always end up in the kitchen? No matter how big or small the gathering, it’s the place to be.
