A new need for space
As homes strain at the seams with full households and their accompanying school work, temporary work stations and new hobbies, the need for space, both physically and mentally, has never been greater.
You may already have a few ideas in mind on how to improve your living space once life returns to some semblance of normality – and some of those plans you can actually start to action now.
Clearing the clutter and springcleaning are constructive ways to prepare the groundwork for more extensive improvement plans, both for optimising your space and upgrading the feel and look of your home.
There are already plenty of discussions about how homes will be designed and built in the future: changes such as more emphasis on garden space; bigger and more flexible bedrooms (en-suite and study); more low-rise living; fewer open plan areas; and an even stronger focus on the kitchen.
If making more of your bedroom space is on the agenda then Hartleys, of Skipton, are the experts: crafting better bedrooms and creating more versatile, hard-working living spaces is what they love to do.
Whether your space includes chimney breasts, beams or jutting window sills, their design expertise embraces these features to enhance your room both functionally and aesthetically.
Turn a poorly-functioning, cluttered spare room into a handy guest room with additional wardrobe space or if working from home suits your lifestyle, how about a bespoke home study? A fitted corner desk, cupboards and shelving, designed for your specific way of working, could increase both productivity and enjoyment. Hartleys’ expert eye could also find an ideal work from home spot that you’d never imagined.
Alternatively, how about a combined bedroom and office? Multi-functional furniture, such as a fold-down bed, means a totally versatile space able to provide for a productive day’s work followed by a comfortable night’s sleep.
Hartleys’ Sara Haggas says: “Enquiries about attic conversions are on the rise in the current circumstances, with home owners realising the potential this space could unlock. A fitted storage solution is ideal, moulded around sloping ceilings and maximising all available space.”
Overhead storage is an option if you’re tight on space, as are stable door designs, which sit flush to dressing tables or other low units. Sliding wardrobes mean chic and seamless wall to wall, floor to ceiling storage, with your choice of interiors.
While Hartleys’ expertise lies in fitted furniture, they also craft bespoke freestanding wardrobes and units if you like to change your furniture frequently or need a less permanent option.
Offering a wide range of finishes perfect for a summer spruce-up, in current circumstances Hartleys ask you to visit their website at www.hartleysbedrooms. co.uk and to contact them via their ‘contact us’ page with any enquiries.
