The Latest Home Renovation Trend Taking London By Storm

The Latest Home Renovation Trend Taking London By Storm

When it comes to home renovation, be it a buy-to-let, a buy-to-sell or just improving your own home, achieving a high-end finish without breaking the bank is key.

One of the hottest design trends in London at the moment is marble.

This incredibly stunning material can have a huge impact in any room, giving it instant wow factor. But it can also be incredibly expensive, making it out of reach for most of us.

Thankfully, there is now an alternative – Book Matched tiles.

Made from porcelain, Book Matched tiles are inspired by some of the world’s most stunning and desirable marbles. They are ultra-thin, easy to install, and used to create one spectacular design – making a fantastic feature to a newly renovated property.

Best of all, they cost a fraction of the price of real marble.

They are very durable and low maintenance. Real marble needs constant TLC to keep them it looking good, porcelain tiles don’t. Regular cleaning will keep them looking spotless for years.

Book Matched tiles can be used on walls, floors or ceilings and come in a wide range of styles.

Here are some of the London companies supplying these tiles:

Full House Renovations

Full House Renovations

At EDGE² we specialise in full house renovations. This is where our 100% in-house team of architects, designers and trades add the maximum amount of value for our clients.

Over the years we have developed a 5-step process to make sure every project runs smoothly and is delivered on time & on budget.

This 5-step process applies to any large-scale property renovation project, such as:

- Converting a house into flats
- Converting two flats into one
- Loft conversions & extensions
- Renovating all, or most of the rooms in a property

Step 1: Define each space/room

Know what each room in the house is going to be used for, and who is going to use it, is fundamental to creating a design the works for everyone as well as looking stunning. We create 3D plans for all our projects, and space definition is always the first step.

Step 2: Approval & preparation

Once the design is finalised, all aspects of the project are approved by the client, making sure everyone understands what is to be done & when. Preparation is key, and we always ensure that legwork required to prepare each space for the renovation work is carried out before we start.

Step 3: Remodelling

At this stage, all the remodelling work is done to the existing space to accommodate the new design. Depending on the project (if there is a loft conversion or an extension) we will also make sure the property is water tight again – fitting new roofs, walls, windows and doors.

Step 4: Fit out

Depending on the project (if there is a loft conversion or an extension) the first part of this stage is to make sure the property is water tight again – fitting new roofs, walls, windows and doors. Once the property is watertight, we look to do all the internal work such as plastering, doors, electrics and plumbing.

Step 5: Fixtures, fitting and finishes

This final stage includes everything from wallpaper and painting to kitchen and bathroom installation. The property is then dressed with all the furniture and furnishings, prior to handing back to the client.
