You can add your personal touch and make the area functional for you and your family by renovating your home. Consider what would make your life simpler and what you really want. You might want to add a conservatory, expand your family kitchen/dining area, or add another room to the loft. Here are some ideas to help you love where you live again while still adding value.

The most common technique to increase value is to add a room. A bedroom will bring in the most money, but it may also result in a more peaceful life for everyone living in the same house. This might be a loft conversion or an addition to your current structure.

Making the transition to wooden floors could be an easy way to give your house a clean, modern appeal.

Or how about a garden makeover with new decking or patio for a designated seating area and fences or trees for privacy?

Next month things are about to get a little hectic, but don’t worry there’s still some time to get your home ready for the festive season. In addition to having the essentials such as the Christmas tree, lights and decorations, it could be just as important to make sure you have a lovely soft carpet, to give yourself and your family the perfect place to sit and relax in front of the fire. The right carpet is of course far more important that just Christmas and generally when people buy carpet for their home, it’s likely to be their carpet for the next decade, so choosing the right one is important, and we do not recommend tha you rush this decision. That said, if you feel as though you have the time and the funds to improve your home and a new carpet is on the cards, get one added to your home before Christmas day, you really won’t regret it.

It is not uncommon to see a lovely hallway carpet followed by a worn out stair flooring. Stair get such a heavy usage; ordinary carpets can get worn down well before there time.

When it comes to choosing a carpet for your staircase, your number one priority is durability, followed be style of course. Hiring a professional to fit your new carpet is essential if you want it to last as long as possible. You will also want to invest in underlay for stairs, creating extra padding for your feet and minimising the wear of the carpet itself.

Short piled carpets are perfect for stairs as they are easy to clean, they look great and don’t show wear as easy as other long piled carpets. Cleaning your carpet regularly is another way to help it last longer, and keep it look new. Make sure you have a no shoes rule implemented in your home, to stop it getting worn down as quick, and to reduce them bringing unwanted dirt and stains onto your new carpet.

If your carpet is beginning to look a little dull and worn out, you may have considered replacing it with a new one. Replacing a carpet in your home can be extremely expensive, and there is always a cheaper alternative- covering it up with a stylish rug.
With so many different rugs to choose from, with a variety of patterns, colours and sizes, there will be one perfect for your home. The cost of a rug can vary depending on the quality, type of pile and size, that’s why it is a good idea to search the market and research which rug would work best for your home.
A new rug can not only cover up your old carpet but it can bring extra comfort to your feet with a new cushion feeling. A rug can also help bring a new look to a room, by simply adding a patterned rug or bold colour, you could bring a room back to life and improving its interior design.

Hallways certainly get a lot of use as they constantly have people walking through them. It is no surprise the flooring gets worn out quicker than other areas of your home.

Adding a runner to your hallway can certainly expand the life of the flooring underneath, as it provides a protective layer. Runners also help to provide extra grip to the flooring, reducing the risk or slipping as the family rush back and forwards through the hallway.

Runners will also bring extra style to your hallway, as they can be found in a variety of designs and patterns, bringing a dull decorated hallway back to life. The great thing about carpet runners is that they can be washed and cleaned easily, perfect for busy households with lots of feet treading on it each day. Before you let your current hallway floor get too worn, invest in a runner to give your floor extra protection and style.
