It got me thinking, what can we do to our home to make it that extra bit special...maybe your home needs a bit if tic and you can't afford to move? Try transforming what you already have, if you own your house and spend that extra but of money making it into that wow factor, when it does come time for you to sell up, you'll be rewarded with the monetary difference, yes it will be hard work but no-one said it was easy! :)
Some cost effective ways to help can be the following...
Bi-folding doors
A fantastic way to create space & light for your home, they are especially useful for smaller spaces, such as laundry rooms, closets or cupboards, but can also be used on exterior applications, such as leading out to the garden to create that airy & french door style!
The style of doors can be chosen to match the ambience of your home, whether it be modern, retro or classic – the doors should carry the style throughout and create more space than ever thought possible!
Loft conversions Albeit pricey, you can add value to your property by cibcerying your lift into another bedroom, an office or maybe even a gym? Venus windows will make it supper bright and light, it can be your sanctuary to get away from the sited for a bit too!

Bring in a decorator Go neutral or maybe add a feature wall somewhere, a lock if paint really can change not just the look of a room but the feel of it too! If you're confident enough to do it yourself then go for it, do some research first on what paint is best & how to properly apply wallpaper, it's not as simple as you may think!

Everything from straw butterflies, white flowery curb set units and bird cages are the rage right now and really add that sir isl personal touch to your home! You don't have to spend a fortune, eBay and stay ate fab online stores with cute vintage stores...or if you're feeling crafty why not make your own? Using items already in your home?
