Making the most of a small bathroom

This was definitely a challenge, the property had a very small bathroom 1900x1700 when I took over. 

It only had toilet, wash basin and bath with shower over, which I didn't like.  

       

 

I wanted to have a separate shower but didn't want to lose the bath.  The solution was to use the adjoining cupboard. I knocked down the walls of the cupboard and that space and a small square from the kitchen to make the bathroom 1900 x 2400.

The new larger bathroom allowed space for a separate shower and bath.  I finished the bathroom off with a white suite and neutral wall tiles and flooring.

Making the most of a small kitchen

This kitchen hadn’t been touched since the 1960′s.  When I took over, it looked like this…

It was in such poor condition that it went right back to the brick, HD took out the old boiler to be replaced in the loft and put in all new electrics before re-plastering the walls and ceiling.

      

Then the new kitchen was installed, using all available space with pull out storage to maximise the space.

HDHomes – My Diary of Design

I am a property developer from Lancashire, I have been involved in property and construction since the age of 18, first working for others while studying and learning the ropes and then setting up alone.

Although I love a challenge, sometimes the wisest thing is knowing when to walk away.  I have recently been specialising in both the redesign of bungalows for the ‘downsize market’ and property makeovers to help sell properties.

I am a stickler for quality, I won’t cut corners, but I will negotiate hard to get quality on a budget.  I love innovative designs to make life easier, but never at the expense of looking beautiful.
