Remember just a short while ago on this blog we mentioned the exciting Grand Designs Live exhibition – well here now is some further information about this exciting show which is on at the not so far away NEC in Birmingham in October and at the London Excel on May 4th next year.
When you are making updates and changes to your home – a new extension, a refurbished kitchen or a bathroom overhaul – whatever it is, it’s important, of course, to give close consideration to the key colour choices your make for walls and wood work materials and also other impactful finishing touches within your home’s newly refurbished areas. Getting these right can add hugely to the impact of these new areas of your home and believe it or not, colour choices can even make you feel better too apparently!
We at Mint hugely admire style and vibrant ideas and design in all buildings, particularly those that are residential, which after all are what we particularly focus on. Our Editor was much impressed on encountering news of this year’s up and coming Architects Journal Architecture Awards which take place soon.
We at Mint recently highlighted the exciting Homebuilding and Renovating Shows, which are up and coming and are very much the places to go for a little inspirational help and guidance for when you plan your new home extension or refurbishment.
If you have plans in the near future for a new home extension, we at Mint of course are glad to help in any way we can. But, we also thought we would mention some excellent home renovation exhibitions up and coming soon – and some not so far away either!
We at Mint do always provide full advice in all areas when we are approached by potential clients that they may be thinking of an extension for their home. It is true for sure that there are more things to consider being sure about than perhaps one might think! Online recently our Editor spotted from the excellent Homebuilding and Renovating organisation, www.homebuilding.co.uk a schedule of what of key issues that they called ‘things to know’ before extending your home.
If you are a home-owner planning a new extension or renovation a bit of early stage, considered planning and budgeting is a ‘must’ in order for any project to be a success – although not all home-owners see it that way apparently!
Flat roof extensions are one of the most common forms of home extensions in the UK. This is because they are generally easier to build, and are thus cheaper, than pitched roofs. Another reason flat roofs are popular is that they can give a more contemporary feel.
We at Mint carry out a good number of kitchen extensions and refurbishments. There is no doubt that with kitchens, more than anywhere else in a home, the quality and design of finish are THE most important to many.(photos – www.simplyextend.co.uk).
Many of you will know that the Government has of late been relaxing the rules on planning to make it easier for people to build or extend their home. A good place to check the changes is on the always informative LABC web site – www.labcwarranty.co.uk
