Bedroom

Strategy “Save costs on bedrooms and put the money you save into more visible areas, such as the kitchen.” SH

Electricals “Think about where the bed is likely to be positioned and make sure powerpoints are installed in sensible places to cover bedside lighting. Outlets inside wardrobes can come in handy for, say, charging phones, dustbusters and so on.” DM

Windows “Choose sliding and double-hung windows over awnings or casements – that way you can lock them slightly open to allow for safe airflow all night.” BG
