HOMES AND GARDENS Planning makes perfect when considering home improvement projects M aking adjustments and improvements to your house can seem like a long process, but once the decisions are made everything else will fall into place. If you want to make a big change such as installing a new kitchen or bathroom, there are plenty of local traders available who are reliable, offering stylish products and fittings at costeffective rates. Whether you want to increase the long term value of your home or simply want it to become a nicer place to live, there are lots of things to consider when thinking about a revamp. Firstly you need to prioritise the changes that you want in your home, and plan the costs and timescales required, which should be explained thoroughly by your contractors. But if you want to make changes on a smaller scale, perhaps you’re thinking of a lick of paint to lighten up your living room, then there are plenty of interior design shops that sell furniture and furnishings in hundreds of styles and colours. This is an opportunity to make your home match your life, by picking your own style that suits you. ® BLINDS 50% OFF SALE NOW ON UP TO ALL BLINDS CURVED Verticals • Rollers • Romans Venetians • Conservatory Blinds Awnings • Plantation Shutters Conservatory Roof Blinds FREE Home Quote FREE Fitting Fast Local Service CALL NOW 01785 817446 WE WILL BLIND BEAT SPECIALIST For Bay Windows ANY LIKE FOR LIKE QUOTE!
