HELP!!! how can i improve my bedroom?????
Comments (9)Hi Melanie. I would keep it painted white and go for the copper theme. I think it's a good idea to swap to blinds. I think it's important for a small room to let in as much light as possible so may consider a roller blind. If not, have a look at these. http://www.blinds-2go.co.uk/roman-blinds/16335/ankara-dusty-rose.html I would add pale grey and blush pink to the scheme hence the blinds! What's opposite the window? Could you add a large copper mirror for more light and to give it a spacious feel? You could consider some good faux flowers for the window sill. For the desk a copper lamp and perhaps just a couple of accessories so as not to clutter. Can the shelf above the bed be removed? You could add some large cushions to act as a headboard. You could also add some art or stencils behind the bed to draw the eye up which should hopefully make the room feel a little larger. What's the ceiling height? Is there a pendant light as you add some interest here. Could you have a go at re-covering the futon? I seriously cannot sew but "re-covered" my garden sofa cushions which look fine from the front!...See MoreBasement Insulation - EPS Beads?
Comments (0)Hello, I need to improve the insulation in my basement following the completion of a refit and have been told that l can inject EPS Beads into the cavity to help? This would need to be done through the internal plasterboard and not an external wall as typical of this process? As this injection process is internal l am a little nervous to go ahead without opinion from other trade experts? Can anyone give me some reassurance that this process will indeed work? Thanks in advance for your response. Robert...See Morechange or improve staircase
Comments (5)That’s very helpful - thank you. Seems painting existing is the most popular which is what I was leaning to. Just have to decide colours which is another dilemma if anyone wants to make suggestions. Walls are Timeless....See MoreDoes external insulation look awful?
Comments (4)You have already improved the look of your home. Well done! We put on external insulation but did it at the same time as window replacement and we replaced windowsills and the gutters and facia at the same time. We were doing this anyway as we were fully renovating our house. You will be adding around 100mm to the outside of the house so you need to consider there will be a difference between you and your attached neighbours house and some of the features you have will need to be replicated which may not fully match what you have at present. The brick samples we looked at were a bit fake looking so I went for full render instead. Silicone render is the best. Grants are available so look that up in your area. In terms of heat retention, our house is snug and cozy so we have no regrets. It is however expensive. Read this article and shop around. We found significant variation in cost and quality of suppliers. https://www.houzz.ie/magazine/10-key-considerations-when-youre-planning-external-insulation-stsetivw-vs~73261580...See MoreRowland
