The rooms: BEDROOMS Improve them: ADD AN EXTRA ONE

-

WHY IT’LL BOOST YOUR HOME’S VALUE:

 Given that properties are marketed first and foremost by their number of bedrooms, finding somewhere to accommodat­e an extra room is pretty likely to push your home into the next value bracket. The obvious space to convert is the loft.

 With a bit of creativity, you might be able to split a large room or carve out space to lodge a single bed. Plan the layout carefully to maximise storage potential – a petite wardrobe with enough space to hang and store folded items may be all a spare room needs.

 Ensure your bedroom is an organised and clutter-free zone where you can enjoy the beginning and end of the day.

 Simple changes, such as changing your bedding to suit the season and using calming shades of blue, green and white can instantly create a soothing slumber space.

Switch up SOFT FURNISHING­S to suit the SEASON. Try faux fur and WOOL for winter and CRISP COTTON and linen for summer
