In the current climate, home owners are increasingly choosing to change their existing environment rather than move to a new one. An extension or revamp can be transforming, and enlisting the expert eye of an architect will make the best use of your space. When it comes to the interior, it’s tempting to try and replicate gorgeous rooms from glossy magazines, but, in the hands of the inexperienced decorator, this can lead to expensive mistakes. Colour, proportion, light, and the purpose of a space needs to be taken into consideration to achieve a harmonious and practical result.
