Hi Alf, I like what you've done with your room - great use of space. Where the guinea pig cage is you could definitely fit a seating area. I would suggest having a corner sofa piece (you can get smaller ones, and separate sections that you put together/can move around). Camerich have a good selection of these: http://camerich.co.uk/range/sofas/clouds95224/small-narrow-sofa-section-right/ http://camerich.co.uk/range/sofas/clouds95224/small-narrow-sofa-section-left/ http://camerich.co.uk/range/sofas/clouds95224/small-narrow-armless-section/ A large square pouffe on wheels (see picture) would be ideal too because it's multifunctional in a small space - you can sit on it and use it as a coffee table (if you put a hard tray on top). I definitely recommend having it on wheels, so you can have more free space when you need it! Amy from topology

Looking for an affordable red 2 or 21/2 seater sofa.

I would have thought vintage furniture would be a good bet since it was made smaller than most furniture now and is often more affordable. If you're set on red then I would consider scouring ebay in the hope you get lucky or buying a nice vintage two seater and getting it re-upholstered. For new options I think these are nice as they're available in lots of colourways and have a mid century feel with the wooden legs: https://www.swooneditions.com/tivoli-made-to-order-mid-century-two-seater-sofa#!3909 https://www.swooneditions.com/berlin-two-seater-sofa#!10585

Hi I’m also a developer/PRL, and the best price of advice I was given when I was starting out was to remember that on low to mid range profit projects (if not all projects) controlling your spending is the most important thing to remember, and every £ you spend is a £ less profit. I too hate uPVC windows and would not have them on my own home, but many people do like them and see them as a positive when it comes to buying/selling – just look at the houses either side of your house, and I assume along the whole of the street; people do like them! With my developer head on I would suggest that you try to work with what you already have - clean the uPVC frames inside and out with a solvent based professional cleaner, these really shift dirt and marks, and to a certain extent make scratches less noticeable as it removes the ingrained dirt. Replace the interior handles – new ones can be found online at around £1.99 each if you bulk buy. Replace any worn seals with a new universal fitting seal (approx £16 for 20m). If any of the windows are blown/misted, look at replacing the sealed glazed unit instead of the whole window, again the sealed units can be found quite cheaply online. With regards to your porch, it looks like it is integrated with the front window, so removing it would be a time consuming and costly job, so I would leave it as is and possibly look at just replacing the outer door, ideally one with a glazed panel to give a bit more light. I know you said you don't like uPVC doors, however, composite doors are more expensive. As you won't be living there does it really matter if you install a white uPVC door, as long it is the most tasteful and least offensive one you can find. An alternative would be to install fully glazed French doors with both sides opening, which would possibly mean that the doors can open inwards. All of these can be bought online and be fitted yourself – however, you will need to check if you will require a FENSA certificate issuing for the work, otherwise this could cause issues when you come to sell. I wouldn't advise painting the uPVC, as it is really difficult to obtain a good finish, and nothing looks worse than poorly finished paintwork either inside or outside. As others have said, remove the nets, put up some nice curtains (these can be removed and reused on other projects), don't worry regarding privacy, as again you will not be living there, and it will allow more light into the room. If the privacy angle does bother you, you can always put a plain white voile (costs around £2 per m, and a couple of £ for the rod) up at the window with little or no fullness, which gives a more modern, less fussy finish. I would move the dustbins to the rear of the property, and put a couple of large pots in the front garden – I tend to use Olive trees as they can be shaped and don't mind too much if they aren't watered regularly – these can also be removed and used on other projects. Hope this helps – and good luck for the future!

How about 2 tub chairs that can either sit in front of the window viewing the garden or on either side of the doorway with one near the window and the other where you are thinking of putting the sofa. This avoids all the furniture being in blocks up against the walls, makes a nice area to chat to friends and doesn’t make it seem that the sofas role is just for tv viewing.
