Welcome To Our Guides

Our simple guides are aimed at helping those of you who own your own property to make improvements that both change your lifestyle for the better but also add value to your home. They are for those who are planning to move house, want to buy a house, have just moved to a new home or have been in your current house for a while but have lost enthusiasm and are looking for home improvement ideas and interior design tips to keep your home fresh.

We have simple tips for home improvements on a budget, including colour and design advice courtesy of Lorelei from ImpulseBlogger.com and more technical advice on things like how to install tiles or create a wet room. We even like to recommend some good art for your walls from time to time if something catches our eye.

We also love looking at clever storage solutions that make the most of the storage in your home but if you really don’t have enough storage we are big fans of decluttering and have plenty of advice to help you achieve a clutter-free home. Otherwise, we know some good places to find cheap self-storage (like those lovely, helpful people over at Cambridge Self Storage) and where you are able to compare self storage prices from multiple providers if you really can’t bear to part with all your stuff.

 

Our final tip for budget-conscious interior products and accessories for your new home (or your old home!) is to check out some of the high-street fashion retailers' home sections. Companies like Zara, H&M and French Connection are all fantastic sources for interior buys. So take a look around - we hope you find something of interest - keep us posted of your favourites…
