Ways to Get Natural Lighting into your Home

Many homes in the UK were not built with natural light in mind, especially if you don’t have a south-facing garden or a big bright house. Most of us either live in a row of houses packed tightly together by the property developers or in a block or surrounded by a big block of flats. We can’t just pick up our house and turn it in the direction of the sun or relocate, especially as good properties go very quickly or are not within our financial reach. With that in mind, I have a few ways for you to get natural light into your home.

Ideas for My Office

Some of you may know that earlier this year, we bought a house and had it renovated which included the windows and garden. We have now been living in our home for just over a week, and I’ve turned my attention to my office! It was not supposed to be my office as it was originally going to be my son’s bedroom but we decided it would be better served as a guest room by buying a sofa bed. Currently, it is a dumping ground for all our belongings!

Easy Upgrades that Add Value to Your Home

Day to day, few of us consider the value of our house. When we’re on the lookout for a new property, the cost is one of the first things that we consider. Aside from the very lucky few, we’ve got a budget to stick to after all, and there’s no point in wasting time, and getting excited about houses that you could never afford to buy. But, once you are in and settled, you don’t think about how the changes that you are making are affecting the value of your home. You don’t believe that this is something that you need to consider if you’ve got no intention of selling anytime soon.

Improving Our Home with Windows4You

Earlier this year, we bought an old property that required a lot of renovation. It was very daunting, especially when the surveyor came back with a number of things to be fixed. One such item on the report was that the windows needed maintenance. One of the bedroom windows was not able to open fully and there were a couple which were leaking air into the house!

I have not had any experience of choosing a window company before so I asked around online but no one was able to help. Nevertheless, I found Windows4You due to a Facebook competition I had entered during the Christmas period. I contracted them and within days, they came to measure up the windows. As part of the work, we also decided to change our front and back doors and the sliding door to a bifold door.

Killer Hacks For Busy Bathrooms

Every room in the house has its own quirk. The living room is where you chill, the kitchen is where you socialise, and the garage is the place to workout when you can’t be bothered going to the gym. The bathroom’s thing is that it’s busy, like super-busy. Whether it’s 8:30 am or 8:30 pm, it’s either occupied or someone is knocking on the door waiting to get in. Where’s the peace people, where’s the peace?

Families tend to have huge arguments because it’s annoying being late for work when your husband is taking a shower. He knows you need to leave the house before 9:00 am yet he decided to go in anyway. And, let’s not get started on the kids who have no understanding of being on time for anything.
