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.

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

Why It’s Worth Getting an Extension in Your Home
Why It’s Worth Getting an Extension in Your Home
Whether you are looking to sell your home or add something new, an extension is a great way to transform your home. In this blog we are going to discuss why it’s worth getting an extension.
Extra Space
Finding more space in your home can be hard to come by, of course you can clean out areas, but it really doesn’t provide you with the space you need. By having an extension, you have brand new space to do with what you want. Whether it’s storage, another bathroom or an office, the choice is yours.
Added Property Value
Thinking about selling your home? If you are, property value will most definitely be on your mind. Which is why by having an extension completed, you can hugely increase your asking price. It’s one of the best ways to increase your property value easily.
Home Upgrading
Is your home feeling a little dated? Sometimes moving isn’t always the answer, by having an extension fitted you can transform your home with a brand-new area. Why not go for a modern orangery style, or contemporary conservatory?
Here at Arcadia Builders, we can help bring your extension dreams to life. Get in touch to find out more.
