Featured properties & articles

There are some really nice properties and articles within the magazine section, which are all great for inspiration. However I do feel that publishing some of these based on different property budgets would be really great.

I think the most recent (which looks amazing) is for a 5 bed with 5 en suites. Transformation is great but this type of property is completely unrealistic for us folk at the bottom of the property ladder / new buyers.

Any thoughts?

I think that if I see one tiny corner of a huge house that makes my heart sing it can inspire ideas for a more modest property. I've always loved interior design books and more recently Houzz for that reason. I'm never likely to live in a home I've been able to have an architect design or an interior designer to work on but for over 40 years I've been inspired to use lots of what I see in my own homes. Improvise, improvise has always been a necessary motto! And be inspired to find your own style as time and circumstances allow and have fun doing it :-)

I only know about the Property Brothers because they once did a whole season featuring lighting you can find on our website (shameless plug!), but their website generally includes sourcing information for episodes.

This might sound a bit like being on the fence given the advice you've had already... How about a mid to dark grey ( less contrast than black), RAL 7022 is a favourite of mine (warmer grey), or look at a green grey, as something that will have the colour of the olive, with a good amount of contrast against the white render, (you won't have the warm rich colours of the brickwork as in the photos above (which the olive looks good against)). If you are painting the timber windows you would do well to look at microporous opaque stains to reduce your on-going maintenance. A benefit of aluclad composite windows is colour outside can be factory supplied different to the interior finish. Hope this might help. Regards, Nick
