Home improvement trends for 2023

Multi-purpose living

A large kitchen/dining/living room is usually at the top of most people’s wish lists when it comes to
a home renovation - a space in which to cook, eat, entertain, and relax. A way of achieving this is
to add an extension to the rear of your home, expanding your kitchen into a multi-purpose living
area.

A trend that has been sparked by this increase in extensions is the roof lantern roof. Whilst
providing a stylish focal point to a room, a roof lantern adds light and a sense of space. Add to this
bi-fold or patio doors and you will have created a large, bright area for your whole family to enjoy.

Beautiful bathrooms

Apart from the kitchen, the bathroom is probably a room where we spend much of our time. As
such, it is important to create a space that suits both our style and home. This is why bathroom
upgrades are becoming more popular and one trend we believe will continue throughout 2023.

One way of transforming your bathroom with very little hassle or expense is by using PVC wall
panels. These panels, which perfectly emulate tile, marble, or wood, can be fitted directly on top
of existing tiles without any specialist skills, tools, or grout. The result is a beautiful bathroom
which is not only stylish, but also easy to maintain and extremely hygienic. Why not take a look at
our range of wall panels and be inspired to transform your own bathroom?

The ideal home office

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are working from home on a full or part time basis
and as such, require a home office. One option is to transform an existing room. However, if this is
not an option, a viable alternative could be a garden office.

Garden sheds are no longer just a home for your lawn mower. With the addition of electricity, a
shed or outdoor building can make the perfect workplace – close enough to home to avoid rush hour
traffic, but far enough away that you can leave work at the office door each evening.

Your ‘garden office’ must also be attractive from the outside. Whether you choose to build a new
outdoor room or are transforming an existing building, adding cladding can transform its exterior.
Choose a natural tone for an office which blends beautifully into your garden, or contemporary grey
or black to create an eye-catching, stylish statement.

Outdoor living

Outdoor living is a key trend we believe will continue throughout 2023. As well as creating a space
in which to entertain and relax, the perfectly designed outdoor area can help to bring the inside
out and vice versa. One way of achieving this is through the addition of decking.

Our composite decking range is a sustainable and stylish solution, enabling you to extend your home
into your garden and providing a safe, hard-wearing area from which to enjoy the outdoors.
Available in a range of tones and designs to suit every style of garden, composite decking is
extremely easy to maintain, meaning you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor space rather
than working on it.
