It’s a well known fact that moving home is a laborious process, which often consumes too much time and tests your patience and wallet! Whilst most of us are fed up of hearing about Brexit, the uncertainty is causing more people to update their current properties rather than consider moving, a trend that is definitely on the increase.
After a new kitchen and bathroom, the next most popular room to update is the bedroom. And whilst many of us opt to redecorate the rooms in our homes to suit our style and tastes, updating a dated kitchen or bathroom, or installing fitted wardrobe storage into your bedrooms really can add value to your home.
Simply installing a run of fitted wardrobes is sure to make your bedroom a more organized space, but it’s believed that a bedroom extension could potentially increase the value of your property by over £25,000!
Sometimes all it takes is to think ‘outside the box’ and see if your current home’s layout could be adapted to make better use of the space available.
The box room…
If your house has a ‘box room’ bedroom, an area that is so small it is just used for clutter, could it become a dressing room off the master bedroom instead? Wall to wall fitted sliding wardrobes will maximize the storage space, look fabulous and be a dedicated place to store the clutter, undoubtedly with space to spare!
Install an en-suite bathroom…
If it’s possible to change the orientation of your current bedroom layout, it may be possible to add a partition wall, which leads to a new en-suite shower room. This new wall can be either fitted with practical sliding storage, or be the wall that your bed head now sits against, and an adjacent wall house the fitted wardrobes.
An extension above the garage…
If you’re lucky enough to have a garage that was built with structural foundations, adding a second storey bedroom extension, complete with bathroom, may cost less than you think. Having free reign to design this new space from the onset will allow you to utilize the layout and maximize the storage.
An attic conversion…
Whilst many new homes have bedrooms in the roof eaves, older properties were simply not built that way. Converting your attic may seem an expensive undertaking, but it’s highly likely that the space available would allow for an extra two bedrooms and shower room. And with sliding wardrobes, specially designed to accommodate the sloping ceilings, you can maximize on the storage too!
Replace like for like…
Whilst conventional wardrobes can be taken with you when you move, they really don’t utilize the space effectively. Swap to freestanding sliding wardrobes and you’ll never be stuck for hanging space again!
