Home Decorating Renovating DIY

Are you or have you renovated a period property?

last month

Clients are the very back bone of everything we do here at Studio Smith Interior Design and after listening to my friends and family talk about how hard renovating is, I wanted to create a pack that is designed specifically to help period property homeowners renovate and help make the process easier – why period properties? This is my niche; my area of expertise and I understand how tricky they can be.

But…I need to hear from more of you, if you could spare 5 minutes of your time, I would absolutely love to hear more about your renovations, the trials and tribulations and fundamentality what you wish you’d known. That way, with your help I can devise a pack that can really help by save people time, effort and energy. The questionnaire is completely anonymous, I won’t be collecting any data, just information on your renovations.

If you follow the link: https://forms.gle/3pAoGKUyWE3xj8Ah9

Thank you in advance for your time and please if you have any questions I would love to hear from you.

Before and After kitchen renovation on a very tight budget.

It is fair comment on not so pretty tiles and unfortunately you can't do much with the floor here because it covers too large area. On a picture you can see only lounge area, which is actually part of the kitchen. Tiles cover floor in the kitchen, lounge area and dining room. Extra large rug wouldn't make it better. This project has two tough points: tight budget and timing.

Hi - its such a big and important project, i really think you need to sit down with a good kitchen designer and fully tease out your requirements and then look at every possible layout option. by sitting down with someone, they will draw each possible layout to scale in front of you and that way you will be able to see the pros and cons of each design. it makes decision making much easier best of luck with the project Barry

Buy/Build/Renovate? Advice needed!

Hi everyone. Looking to become a homeowner & feel a little green, so would love some insight and advice on the above. The area that we are looking in has a very limited number of options currently on offer. There is one house available that looks in need of complete renovation/modernisation (it has been on the market for a number of years, has not been lived in full time for over a decade & looking at pictures seems like it would need a completely new heating system - looks to be all storage heaters at the moment). However, there is a good amount of garden space with it, which is really appealing and it could have great potential - because it has been on the market for so long, maybe we could haggle with the price? Every time I watch a home renovation show, it seems that there are so many hidden costs and ends up costing over what was originally budgeted! Would love to hear from someone who has recently undertaken a similar project - it is a 2 storey and would possibly need a kitchen extension or some changes to the floor plan for a more open living space downstairs. What were the costs like? How long did the project take? Did you manage to stay within your budget? Is it worth renovating over trying to do a self build? There are some sites for sale in the area too, but would be apprehensive about not being able to get planning permission on a site - would it be silly to purchase a site without planning? Having more control over the project/fewer surprise costs would be really appealing, but obviously don't want to be left with a site if we aren't granted planning. Those of you that have gone the self - build route, did you manage to stay on budget & how long was the process from start to finish?

Belgian style renovation of small building to office/ studio
Q

Hi, I would love some advice on the renovation of the building downstairs will be used as an office and upstairs as a studio/teenagers space downstairs. We would possibly like to include a small gym area. The aesthetic is Belgian style we will lime render the walls and keep it minimalist and design. We would like to remove the stairs from its current position as it eaten to a lot of space. However, a stairs is needed on the inside of the building or at some point to be able to access the upstairs. This does not have to meet regulations so can be small. We would also like to build on a lean to at the back of the building to house the plant and also a WC this would need to be accessed from both inside and outside. There is the possibility of putting a stairs up to the back as well and changing the existing top window into a door. Thanking you in advance I’m looking forward to hearing your expert advice and if possible some drawings. Many thanks
