Customer Hot tub built from scratch?

2 years ago

Has anyone had a hot tub built in their garden from scratch? Due to access we are thinking of having one customer built. Would love any insight if anyone has one or done the build process. ( Note we will hire professionals we aren't planning on building it ourselves! )

Which style of bath tub do you prefer? Free standing or in a deck?
Q

You can use side panels or a deck/surround to create what is, in effect, a free standing bath that would work well aesthetically and, optionally, as part of a wetroom-style bathroom. Deep soaking tubs are especially effective for such projects; they have smaller footprint, which affords more room in the shower area, but their greater depth makes them exceptionally comfortable.

I had a similar situation in a house I moved into years ago. I did a quick fix of painting all of the walls, woodword and the cupboards the same shade of cream. Sounds a bit OTT but it really knocked back the cupboards, which in all honesty are not something you want to make a feature out of, and created a calmness to the whole space. In your case, I would go for an off white so that the gang plug wires, radiator pipes and covers hiding the wires for the extractor fan etc., are disguised as much as possible -- that will tie in with the palest of the tiles in the splash back, and then you will have a pretty basic colour scheme of a very place colour and the dark worktop, fireplace and floor, which will stand out more. I think you need more storage with doors -- that bookshelf isn't doing anything for the kitchen. If you could get something in there that could hide lots of clutter -- even if just something cheap from IKEA, that would help greatly. Or work something around the filing cabinet that you have? A huge cheap mirror over the fireplace would bounce some light around too. If you don't want to go for undercupboard lighting, and if you have enough plug points, how about some lamps on the worktop, especially at the FF end with a floor standing lamp at the end with the chair. For the table, I would go for a table cloth and reupholster the chairs if they are not to your taste. A new blind in a much fresher colour would be great. Depending on the colour of your filing cabinet (if you use it), I think a petrol blue could add a nice vintage vibe to the chimney breast, and make more of a feature of it. I would try and go down a vintage/slightly industrial route rather than country. You may have some stuff lurking around that you could use, once you have got the base colours right -- currently it just feels a little cluttered and a bit of a mish mash. Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing some after shots :)

What would you use an outdoor terrace for?

We are remodeling our home and have a huge pile of concrete from removing a fireplace and chimney. I'm interested in building a similar terrace and barrier wall on my hillside and saw your comment on this process, using recycled concrete. Can you give me more information about your process?

Create a cosy home this autumn with these 3 easy additions
Q
Comments (0)
This time of year is when people start to appreciate the cosy things in life – warm jumpers, hot drinks, comfort food and staying indoors. With that in mind, it makes sense to make your home as cosy as possible, so that you enjoy spending time in it this season. If you would like some tips on how to improve the comfort levels in your house, then check out these tips on how to create a cosy home this autumn with these 3 easy additions that aren’t expensive or take a lot of time to pull together. 1. Lighting in all forms Let there be light – everywhere! The first easy addition to your home this autumn is to sort out your lighting. There’s nothing relaxing about overhead spotlights and while they can be useful and have a time and a place, they are never used when you’re trying to create a cosy atmosphere. Instead, look to create soft warm glows using every means at your disposal. A glowing fire (real or fake) can transform a dreary living room into a cosy haven you can retreat to with a book or to wrap yourself up on the sofa to watch a movie. Candles everywhere also create a soothing glow, and you can get scented or plain depending on your preference for creating a tranquil space to relax in whether it’s in a living space, a bedroom or soaking in the tub. Finally, don’t forget about lamps. Replace bright bulbs with lower wattage ones or use lights on a dimmer to reduce the harsh glare and instead enjoy the soft and intimate lighting from a floor or table lamp. 2. Create a cosy nook There’s been a huge surge in popularity recently for creating cosy nooks out of unused spaces in the home, like the space under the stairs, and we love this idea for making your home feel more cosy. Once the basic shell is built, you can decorate and accessorize this space with large pillows and cushions, fairy lights, thick blankets and get comfy with a mug of something hot. Just check out these ideas for some inspiration. If you don’t have any unused alcoves in your home that you can transform, you can achieve the same effect in a corner of your room. Add a big, comfy armchair, a blanket over the back of it and some lamps around it so you can sit in this spot and read the afternoon away. 3. Create a cabin-style feel to your home interiors When people think of cosy homes, they’ll often picture a rustic wood cabin with lots of exposed beams, open fires and wood detailing. We know it’s not hard to recreate this look in your home – all you need is the right wood flooring to get started. We have a fantastic range of floors which add beautiful, authentic accents to your home, thanks to the natural grain, the knots in the wood and the gorgeous hues. Take for example our timeless engineered handscraped traditional oak flooring – a popular choice and a stunning addition to any home. Alternatively, our premier select southern walnut flooring adds a rich luxury to any room, whilst retaining eye-catching swirls and whorls to make your floor a real feature of any room. Don’t forget, you can also use wooden planks on the wall as well as the floor to create an instant rustic effect, just like a traditional cabin.
