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
