House Refurbishment in Borehamwood | How to Integrate Wellbeing into Your Home

 

Most people spend a considerable amount of time at home. It’s where we eat, sleep, relax and unwind after a stressful day. So, your home should be a comfortable and calming space which supports positive mental wellbeing. However, many properties in Borehamwood and the surrounding areas are outdated or rundown. If this sounds like your home, we recommend a house refurbishment to maximise wellbeing for you and your family. At George William Construction Ltd, we provide everything you need to get the most from your home. This includes kitchen and bathroom installations to improve function as well as house extensions and loft conversions to create the space you need.

 

With over 30 years of industry experience, our kitchen fitters and building contractors create homes which perfectly reflect your lifestyle and tastes. When undertaking house refurbishments in Borehamwood, it’s important to consider the following factors to promote wellbeing:

 

Lighting

 

It’s scientifically proven that natural light is good for our health and mood. As such, we try to incorporate as much sunlight into homes as possible, whether undertaking bathroom installations, layout alterations or other work. House refurbishments are the ideal project for increasing natural light because we can replace windows and doors, create new windows and open up living spaces.

 

House extensions make the most of natural light because we can install large bi-fold doors and rooflights, which bring in as much light as possible. The added benefit of bi-fold doors is that you can open them up in the warmer months for a seamless transition between the house and garden.

 

Our kitchen fitters find this works particularly well with kitchen-dining extensions.

 

Another way to bring natural light into your home is with loft conversions. Due to the nature of loft conversions, they fill with sunlight during the day, which is just one reason they’re such a popular project among homeowners in Borehamwood.

 

It’s also important to think about artificial lighting. Bulbs come in different colours and brightnesses and have a significant effect on the atmosphere of a room. For example, warm white light is best for creating a cosy space.

 

Space

 

A key aspect of promoting wellbeing in your home is designing spaces around your needs. This includes the layout of your home as well as storage solutions.

 

During house refurbishments in Borehamwood, we can construct house extensions and alter interior layouts to make better use of available space. A popular choice for modern homes is removing interior walls to promote open plan living. As well as providing a sense of flow, this creates a more airy and light space.

 

We also undertake kitchen and bathroom installations to ensure these essential rooms meet the requirements of your household. Our bathroom and kitchen fitters provide efficient layouts with features tailored to how you use the space.

To keep your home calming and clutter-free, it’s essential to make sure you have plenty of storage. As well as incorporating this into kitchen and bathroom installations, to maximise space, consider fitted storage for loft conversions and awkward areas.

 

Comfort

 

House refurbishments are the perfect time to upgrade insulation and household systems in Borehamwood. New plumbing and heating systems improve energy efficiency which helps lower bills. They also heat your home and supply water more efficiently and reliably.

 

Improving heat retention also lowers running costs and makes your home more comfortable. Installing double glazing and replacing or adding wall insulation has a considerable impact. When carrying out loft conversions, we provide new roof insulation which you’ll feel the benefits of throughout your home.

 

All this adds to overall comfort and wellbeing.
