How To Modernise The Interior Of Your Home
The key to keeping your home fresh is to update it with modern on trend touches. In this blog we are going to discuss a few affordable ways of modernising your home!
Keeping accessories to a minimum:
To keep your home looking modern and sleek you don’t need endless accessories and trinkets. Keep the items you have to a minimum and remove the excess clutter you no longer need. This may give you the perfect chance to sort out what you need and what you can lose. When it comes to having accessories in the home don’t get rid of them completely choose a few statement pieces that work with your home’s colour scheme, plus there’s always the option of upcycling special pieces.
Smart home devices:
Cosmetic changes are great, but they can be timely and not always cost effective. So, as technology is changing all of the time adding a smart feature into your home will help give it that wow factor. This may be a Home Pod, security systems or a lighting system, or even a smart speaker.
Use glass to add space:
Adding glass into your home can help to really open up your space allowing for natural light to flow through your property. To achieve this, you could look at the option or partitioning rooms with glass or some window upgrades, a little can go a long way. Another option is to replace a shower curtain with a pane of glass which will give your bathroom more of a modern touch!

How We Can Add Value To Your Property
If you want to get the highest possible price for your property when you decide to sell it, it always makes sense to do a bit of work before you put the house up for sale. By making improvements to your home you can not only add monetary value but also make it a more attractive proposition for potential buyers. This will increase your chances of a quick sale. Below we will tell you how Arcadia Builders can add value to your property.
Installing An Extension
It is simple really, if a property has more rooms and more space for a family, it is likely to go up in value. We can add an extension to your home to open up a wide range of opportunities. With a rise in the amount of people working from home in recent times, this could be particularly beneficial as buyers may need this extra space for an office.
Modernising The Property
A property that is stuck in a past era is bound to have less appeal and can therefore lose value. Whilst people do often love a retro feel, it is important to move with the times and ensure your house fits in with modern tastes. We can help by renovating your property to modernise it. This could include the installation of a new kitchen or windows and doors.
Building A Garden Room
If your property has a lot of land, it would be smart to use this land to create an exciting prospect for any potential buyer. Homes with garden rooms are not hugely common so if you were to add one to your land, it could immediately increase the value of your house. We can build garden rooms to add a real special touch to any property.

Great Uses For Your Garden Room
If you are lucky enough to have a large garden attached to your home, it makes great sense to put the space to use. A garden room is one fantastic option for an extension that is actually separate from the property. Garden rooms are really on trend at the moment and the opportunities are endless when it comes to possible uses of the space. In this blog we suggest some great uses for your garden room!
Fitness Escape
Anyone who is into keeping fit will know how difficult it can be to work out when being distracted by a house full of people! A garden room could be turned into a mini fitness escape complete with gym equipment, a wall-mounted TV for watching fitness DVD’s and even food storage for healthy snacks and protein shakes.
Home Office
If your work will allow it, working from home can be a real luxury which allows you to spend less time travelling and more time close to your family. A garden room could be the perfect place for your home office, especially if you consider how focused you can be with the peace and quiet of such a place.
Relaxation Room
If you live in a busy house with a full family including children, it can be difficult to hear yourself think at times! A garden room could act as your own little relaxation area, perfect for those days where you need to take time out and relax. For the ideal snug area, you could add a bed, comfy bean bags and ambient lighting to help you forget the stresses of your daily life.

Our Favourite Barn Conversion Ideas
Our Favourite Barn Conversion Ideas
When it comes to renovations, there is nothing quite as impressive as a barn conversion. For people across the UK, it is a dream to move into a stunning barn conversion with their loved ones. This type of project is one of our favourites to work on, especially with some of the beautiful results we can produce. In this blog we are going to talk about just some of our favourite unique ideas for barn conversions.
Eco friendly
In the current climate, it is more popular than ever to find ways to benefit the environment. Having large windows installed is one fantastic way to use natural sunlight to its full potential, reducing your use of electricity. Another great idea for achieving this is a glass floor walkway connecting upstairs rooms, drawing in light from all directions. Other energy saving solutions could include the use of a ground source heat pump or woodburning stove.
If you are in need of some tips for your garden take a look at our previous blog www.arcadiabuilders.co.uk/how-to-transform-your-garden
Continental Styles
Whilst barn conversions are traditionally a very British form of renovation, you can take some amazing inspiration from the way other countries build them. Classic barn styles from nations such as France, Holland, Germany and Italy are incredibly stylish. This could add a unique twist which sets your barn conversion apart from the rest.
Ultra-Modern
With a modern barn conversion, you can have great fun with mixing old and new, to produce a head turning aesthetic. We would recommend using a combination of wood and glass throughout the property to achieve this. You can also make brilliant use of space by including a large centrepiece art feature such as an abstract statue or lighting fixture.
Arcadia Builders have a wealth of experience in completing barn conversions across North Yorkshire including Ripon, Richmond and Harrogate. To find out how we can work on your project give us a call on 07970 316257 or visit www.arcadiabuilders.co.uk/barn-conversions
