Renovated modern kitchen spaces are often more convenient

July 18, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

One of the best things about modern design is that it is incredibly convenient. It seems to be a lot easier to find a great level of comfort at home if your interiors are kitted out not just to be attractive and easy on the eye, but also to suit the way you live and to make things easier for you at home.

Practical rooms like the kitchen are probably the parts of the home where it is most evident that a higher level of convenience makes for an easier life. If your kitchen space is old and tired then you might not want to spend that much time in there for aesthetic reasons, but if it is out-dated in terms of practical matters then it can frustrate you even more.

You can modify your kitchen space with a really thorough renovation. The more comprehensive the overhaul the better, because you’ll prepare your house for your modern lifestyle and you’ll completely transform your attitude to your kitchen.

You’ll finally be able to get as much from your modern kitchen as you expect, both in terms of the way it looks and in terms of how it improves the practicality of your home.

Contemporary renovations mean you do not have to relocate for more modern surroundings

July 15, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

More and more homeowners are cottoning on to the fact that they don’t need to up sticks just to benefit from more modern living arrangements. If you are happy with the location of your home and it is convenient for your family, then it would represent quite an upheaval to leave it behind simply in order to find a more contemporary place to live.

What makes contemporary design so appealing?

And yet, the draw of the contemporary is very strong. The temptation is not purely aesthetic in nature, although interior design certainly comes into play. Contemporary interiors are often much more convenient and they definitely suit the modern ways of life that most modern families are used to.

Bring the contemporary to you to avoid moving house

Instead of moving to more contemporary surroundings, you could actually just renovate your existing property, effectively bringing that sought after contemporary style to you. All you need in order to achieve this is the help of a dedicated team of professional designers and builders, preferably all operating within the same company under the guidance of a single project manager.

Historic London properties renovated for a greener outlook

July 15, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

The environment is the hot topic for conversation nowadays. Individuals, households and organisations alike are all trying their best to find ways to lower their carbon footprints and lessen their impact on the environment. Of course, this isn’t such an easy task when you live in one of London’s more historic buildings.

The truth is, older buildings aren’t as good at retaining heat as more modern ones. When you lose heat you waste energy and you also waste money. However, this is something that you can address by modernising the interior of your London property with environmentally-friendly design and build solutions.

Saving money and reducing waste are two of the chief reasons property renovation in London is on the rise. Older properties have bags of character, but they aren’t necessarily up-to-date when it comes to being eco-friendly. This is where professional refurbishment can play a key role.

A renovation of your property could help you to preserve a good deal more energy, giving your property a much better score in terms of carbon footprint. At the same time, you could take the opportunity to redesign your interiors so that your home retains its character but is fit for the twenty-first century demands of your household.

Work towards a more contemporary bachelor pad

July 14, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

If you have recently moved to London and you feel like the property you’ve moved into could do with some attention in order for it to become the bachelor pad that you always envisioned owning in the capital then you should start addressing the matter by looking into modern renovations.

Modern design is central to the whole bachelor pad aesthetic. It’s nice to be able to make use of and show off a whole range of mod cons in your apartment or house. Moreover, it’s nice to demonstrate how au fait you are with contemporary design by having your interiors completely revamped so you can design them from scratch.

Architects in London are experienced in producing drawings to turn older properties into really wonderful modern spaces for people who are keen in drafting a bit of contemporary design into their lives even if they have chosen to live in a relatively old property in the capital city.

If your lifestyle is simply too modern, both in terms of the way you like to go about things and in terms of your tastes in art and design, then modernising the interiors of your home is a must.

Towards a contemporary overhaul of your interior design

July 13, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It’s pretty exciting to be involved in a project to get your house up to scratch in terms of its interior design. You can be very actively involved in the interior renovation of your home if you choose a design and build team with a great reputation for good communication and professionalism.

Alongside a team of specialist builders and designers, you can unlock the potential of your property by giving it a thorough makeover that goes deeper than simply addressing matters on the surface. Redecorating is a temporary measure that often fails to deliver the goods, whereas renovation is much more complete and allows you to change the internal structure of your home as well as how it is finished.

There is a real trend at the moment for mixing the old with the new, especially in the field of architecture. This is evident in the capital because owners of older properties are still keen to have modern interiors in spite of the heritage that is one display on the outside of their homes.

You can follow this trend by making plans for a contemporary overhaul of the interiors of your London property.

How does a renovation by a design and build team come about? (Part 2)

July 9, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

The last article began looking at how a renovation project comes to fruition with the help of design and build professionals. After looking into the way project managers benefit your project and introducing the design team to proceedings, it is obviously time to look at those who carry out the manual operations on site.

The design stage obviously leads to the production of drawings and plans. These professional blueprints make their way from the design team to a team of professionals who will be entrusted with carrying out all the building work, electrical operations, plumbing and so on connected with the renovation.

The building team will also have the support and guidance of the project manager who will in turn be in touch with you at all times. This way there is a recognised method behind all the communication between different members of the team.

Different members of the team are also connected in the sense that they work under the same name with the same firm, instead of confusing the issues by operating under several different organisations as is the case with many less cohesive efforts at renovation.

Enjoy a cohesive effort from all sides of your renovation team

July 8, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Having your house renovated professionally is a great idea but it involves a necessary amount of preparation. Perhaps the most significant preparation you need to make involves choosing the right people to take charge of the job. This means doing your research and picking professionals with the right credentials and the right reputations for the work you need doing.

You can actually save yourself a great deal of hassle if you look for a building company that looks after all aspects of your renovation, rather than trying to find professionals from separate firms and trying to bring them together for your project.

It represents a real challenge for homeowners and project managers when they have to work with separate teams and breakdowns in communication can lead to problems with scheduling and costs. However, working with a dedicated design and build company side steps all of these issues by making sure everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet.

Taking this approach reduces the pressure on you and allows you to benefit from a more cohesive effort from your architects, your designers, your builders and your project manager.
