The lounge is the room that most people spend most of their time at home in. this is obviously because the lounge is quite versatile in the sense that it can be used to entertain guests and it can be used simply for sitting and relaxing. This is often what people think of most when they think of spending time at home.

Comfort and relaxation is what the lounge is all about, so if you don’t feel that your luxury interior design is conducive to sitting down and taking it easy something needs to be done. You can change things a great deal if you renovate your lounge with some professional help.

Sometimes you need to get the designers and builders in to make your lounge the room you feel it has the potential to be. Some select changes could see your lounge become the ideal place to find comfort with your friends and family and the perfect place to kick back in your spare time.

You can involve the professionals right the way through if you wish, even getting them to give you advice and instruction on how to decorate the room so it is as inviting as possible when it has been revamped.

Your living room is arguably the most important part of your West London property. You spend a great deal of time in your living room as along side your kitchen, they are the social hub for the entire household, your family and guests. The living room is most used when people are watching television, as well as for entertaining family and friends. Generally, your living room creates the back drop for the most sociable and visible part of your home in London so it’s sensible to make the best use of the interior space you have available.

Most property owners want to make their living room stylish, spacious and as sociable and comfortable as possible. To achieve your desired look, using an interior designer could make a lot of sense. Family members can find privacy in other parts of the house, like the bedroom and home offices or snug, so it is sensible to keep the living room as open and warm as possible.

Creating a more sociable and spacious living room can sometimes prompt a complete house renovation. Most home improvements go some way to making your living room feel a bit more welcoming. However, when you need more space or a different layout for your home to work and flow naturally from one zone to another, it is sometimes necessary to address the layout and structure of your living room. If you don’t do something about it, you may sit watching design programmes on television thinking how nice other homes are whilst not realising the opportunity to create a beautiful home for entertaining and enjoy living in your property a lot more.

Advantages of working with residential architects

As the economic uncertainty rumbles on in the Eurozone, you may be considering moving some investment capital into a renovation project for your home in West London. If you want a high quality finish and look, then it’s best to work with local expert residential architects who project manage your renovation. Here are just four reasons why you should always work with a local project manager and residential architect:

1. Experience In Styles

Whether it’s interior design, renovation and building work or project management, West London residential architects have a wealth of experience and are essential to any smooth running renovation project. You should harness their design skills, regardless of whether you are trying to create a modern kitchen, a vintage lounge, a retro living space or something entirely unique. Experience teaches all of us to handle specific situations in a certain way.

So if you are met with any issues during the construction or planning phases, quality residential architects offer solutions that allow your renovation to progress as intended and on schedule. Their expertise on how to combine styles will also be invaluable, as you don’t want to end up with a new layout or reconfigured space that doesn’t look like it belongs to your period property.

2. Professional Finish

If you’re not very experienced in carrying out renovations in West London iconic neighbourhoods such as Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington or Holland Park, carrying out any work yourself usually leads to inferior results. Appointing a professional architect means you end up with a professional finish, and gives you an come back option if there are any issues to address – which could add enormous value long after your project has finished as well as reducing stress. Once the building work is complete, the quality of finish is the most enduring element of any renovation project and is what makes the difference between a home you are happy with and a home that you’re truly proud of.

3. Contacts

It might be quite a challenge to arrange and coordinate all the different experts involved in a renovation project – your architect, interior designer, your local builder and specific trades such as carpenters, plasterers, plumbers and AV specialists to schedule works on your home and make sure dates work in sequence with each another. Residential architects project manage renovations all the time, schedule design stages and should project manage all elements related to the design of your new property. You won’t have to worry about any of this as a result. Design + build companies (such as TylerMandic) all have the plumber, builder, property planner, interior designer etc. under one roof. This saves you valuable time, money and stress over the course of the project and in the long run. You are also a lot more likely to complete your renovation on schedule without any major setbacks. Combining project management with design experience ensures you have the best professionals to work on every element of your property renovation.

4. Achievable Time Frame

If you’ve long been craving for your home renovation to be completed, you won’t want to waste any more time once the work finally gets under way. Professional residential architects give you achievable time scales, estimates of how long the renovation work should take and which elements need to be completed and when to coincide with all the trades on site. Usually, all this is achieved in a much shorter time frame than what you would be able to achieve alone. With larger projects, this precise knowledge of time creates substantial savings and can improve rental yields. You’ll also be able to plan when your renovation will be ready to enjoy – and for you to entertain friends and family. This certainty makes the process of moving in much more straight forward, often a lot more cost effective and certainly more enjoyable.

Renovated modern kitchens are more convenient

One of the best things about modern design is that it is incredibly convenient. It is a lot easier to find a great level of comfort at home if your interiors are kitted out not just to be attractive and easy on the eye, but also to suit the way you live and to make things easier for you at home.

Practical rooms like the kitchen are probably the parts of the home where it is most evident that a higher level of convenience makes for an easier life. If your kitchen space is old and tired then you might not want to spend that much time in there for aesthetic reasons, but if it is out-dated in terms of practical matters then it can frustrate you even more.

You can modify your kitchen space with a really thorough renovation. The more comprehensive the overhaul the better, because you’ll prepare your house for your modern lifestyle and you’ll completely transform your attitude to your kitchen.

You’ll finally be able to get as much from your modern kitchen as you expect, both in terms of the way it looks and in terms of how it improves the practicality of your home.
