Most popular home renovations in London

The rooms Londoners renovate first

Renovation has been busy in London. Spending more time indoors has pushed many owners to bring a tired house up to date.

In fact, 16% of UK homeowners begin a renovation due to recently discovered deterioration or damage. If you have been playing with the thought to start a renovation, but you don’t know what part of your home to pick, we gathered the most popular renovations in London.

1. Kitchens

Open-plan kitchens have been the trend for years and years. Homeowners have started to move toward more multifunctional kitchen spaces.

However, future trends show that open-plan kitchens are no longer the most popular solution. Dividers and partitions will define internal layouts the following year.

If you want to combine the kitchen with the living space, we recommend picking out a stylish sliding door between the two rooms.

2. Bathrooms

Bathrooms are the most frequently used rooms in a home, so it’s a top pick for many homeowners for a reason.

Contemporary designs are the most popular ones. A simple colour palette, timeless materials and sleek lines.

3. Bedrooms

Ideally, we spend most of our time in our bedrooms, so it’s important that we feel homey and safe there.

You can add an extra bedroom to your property through a loft conversion, creating a new ensuite for your growing family or the guests.

4. Living rooms

Living rooms are the space where the family gathers, or we use to relax, so it’s essential to feel that hygge. London living rooms have been heavily influenced by Scandinavian design.

However, the clean and toned-down minimalism is taken over by vintage pieces, more texture and colour. Show your personality through the pieces you pick. Be unique or upcycle!
