Hot renovations for cold months

Customers are looking to integrate mud rooms with their laundry. Practical ‘mud-laundry’ spaces near entryways are becoming essential. This design combines storage for outdoor gear and laundry needs, perfect for winter’s muddy boots and wet clothes.
Customers may want to build these rooms using the same cabinets as their kitchen - as shown here with our Heritage Bone range.  This has the advantage that the washing machine and tumble dryer can be integrated into the cabinetry for a streamlined look.

Integration of smart home technology is trending as ever. Winter projects include a surge in smart home installations, from security cameras to automated lighting and heating. Made Two Measure found that more than 40% of homeowners are opting for these upgrades, particularly those that enhance home security and energy efficiency.

Tradespeople are seeing a trend in adding en suite bathrooms rather than shared family bathrooms, especially in larger homes. Houzz found that around 30% of bathroom renovations are now focusing on creating private en suites rather than communal family spaces.
