THE PROPERTY A one-bedroom penthouse within a three-storey 1920s house in Hellerup, Copenhagen, bought in 2000. “When we first started, it was just one big open space – a gloomy, dark attic with just four windows” After travelling for work and living in nine places over 12 years, Søren and Mette Rose and their three children returned to their 1920s house in Hellerup, Copenhagen, and saw it with fresh eyes. Finding it dark and dated, they decided to radically renovate, starting with the top floor. By converting the 120sq m space into a flat, they can live in it while they tackle the rest.…

THE PROPERTY A four-bedroom, late-Victorian terrace in Edinburgh, bought in August 2017. THE VALUE Similar properties in the area sell for £575,000. “The property was so run-down, no other buyers showed any interest.

Simple upholstery Detach the headboard from the bed frame. If it’s wooden, first wrap it with wadding, covering the edges and securing at the back using a staple gun. Then cover with fabric - fold the short edges first, hold tightly in place at the back of the headboard with either staples or tacks, then fold the top edge neatly over and staple or tack in position. BUDGET-FRIENDLY TIP If you want velvet fabric, try a curtain panel as a cheaper option…

If you have the extra space, consider knocking through to a box room, erecting a partition wall if your bedroom is large enough, or using a slice of the landing. Q Where do I begin? You’ll need a space of at least 2m wide for a simple galley-style walk-in wardrobe. Assess how much storage you need by measuring your existing hanging rails (and factoring in future purchases) and ensure you have a good mixture of rails, shelves and drawers. Q What’s the best way to use the space? Floor-to-ceiling fitted furniture can increase storage space by 30 per cent. For awkwardly shaped rooms, bespoke wardrobes are best, or try Zebedee for hanging rails designed to fit sloping ceilings. Ikea’s Pax system or Spacepro at B&Q is ideal if you’re on…

1 THEY USE SPACE WELL You can play with height and space in a more interesting way by creating double-height or mezzanine spaces, which can add real drama and wow factor. 2 THEY’RE NOT AS EXPENSIVE AS YOU MIGHT THINK They can be a cost-effective way to add space to your house as you only need to build half the roof and half the amount of foundations for the same area gains, compared to a single-storey extension. 3 GOOD DESIGN IS KEY They’re likely to be a prominent feature, so the design needs to be carefully considered to work with the existing property in a coherent way. 4 SECURING PLANNING PERMISSION IS TRICKY… Planning permission can be hard to get as two-storey extensions can have a greater impact on neighbouring…

Award-winning photographer Jake Mosher works from his home in rural Montana overlooking the Rocky Mountains. He creates unique, kaleidoscope-like artwork inspired by the intricate patterns on butterfly and moth wings, observed through his camera lens at high magnification. His artwork is available to view and to buy at Runway Gallery. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY NATURE. I grew up in Northern Vermont, a stone’s throw from vast, unbroken woods in an era without video games, DVDs or text messages. Instead, I’d throw on a backpack and go out exploring, camera in hand. After leaving my career as an explosives engineer, I moved to Montana and found myself sitting by a lake in the Rocky Mountains and was struck by its beauty – a beauty that deserved to be captured.

Having outgrown their Melbourne townhouse in 2000, Tammy and Jonathan Kanat wanted more space before their third child was born. They fell for this characterful house straight away. ‘Unfortunately, it was run-down and the space was used very inefficiently,’ says Tammy. The couple decided to completely reinvent the property and the renovation took place in two stages, with the first phase of construction taking a year to plan and another year to carry out. ‘We kept the front and side façades of the house, as it was heritage listed, then rebuilt the rest as a new two-storey home with four bedrooms,’ says Tammy. Nine years later, the ground floor was extended to include a main bedroom suite off the main living space, with a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom, and a…

“Use uplifting shades of ochre for a year-round sunshine feel in your home. Vibrant ochre has sunny, warm, happy associations, so it’s no surprise that it works both as an eye-catching accent colour, and a way to brighten up a dingy room”NICKY PHILLIPS , DECORATING EDITOR ‘Ochre adds a happy glow to any room and is perfect for hallways or north-facing rooms that need to bring their own sunshine. Team with rich reds and brown tones to create a beautiful colour palette that changes throughout the day as different light reflects on it,’ says Lucy St George, co-founder of Rockett St George. ‘It’s a colour that is warming and inviting and therefore works especially well in entrances and halls. It’s brilliant as a feature wall in bedrooms and kitchens too,’…

Soft focus Create an artistic ombre effect. Work with shades from the same colour card – blend the lines between them to create a graduated effect. Old to new Upcycle vintage finds or furniture that has become tatty or tired. Aim for a surface free of dust, dirt or grease and paint using a good quality wood paint. Beautiful backdrop Unite shades from the same colour palette with tonal stripes painted on the wall between shelves or on the back surface of a dresser or shelving unit. In the detail Draw attention to a period doorway by painting the frame and door in a darker tone than the wall, or use an accent colour to make it a stand-out statement. Ceiling appeal Reimagine your room with five walls rather than…

“We essentially built a new house within the old walls, supported by a new steel frame” THE PROPERTY A two-bed converted gin distillery in east London. THE VALUE Bought in 2013 for £310,000 and renovated for £450,000; now worth around £1.2m. While house-hunting, Leo Wood and Rupert Scott discovered an empty warehouse for sale across the road from their Georgian cottage. Built in 1880, it had been a gin distillery, social club and a storage facility. ‘Since it was advertised as a commercial building, it dropped below the radar,’ says architect Rupert (openpracticearchitecture.com). ‘Its wedge-shaped plot, which is smaller at the front with two sides butting onto warehouses, put other buyers off.’ It took six months to buy, then two years to get planning permission. Rupert redesigned it with assistance…

HOW LOUISE AND PHIL DID IT ‘The final phase of our house refurbishment was to update the kitchen and replace a uPVC conservatory with an extension. Phil is a surveyor and I’m an architectural designer (recreateinteriors.co.uk) so we designed, costed and project-managed it ourselves, using builders on agreed day rates within our £40,000 budget. We agreed on a simple grey and white scheme, choosing Ikea units, but splashed out on quartz worktops and a boiling-water tap, which I couldn’t be without now! The lighting was crucial, so there are pendants and downlighters on dimmers, so we can get it right for any occasion. It’s a space we all use, now. We love cooking and everything’s close at hand. And when Rachel comes home from school, we can chat while I…

Too much stuff? Or not the right type of storage? Messy household or time-poor family members? Whatever your reason for wanting to declutter and create a well-organised and streamlined home, our interiors experts can help. MY WHOLE HOUSE IS A MESS. WHERE DO I START? ‘With something small and manageable,’ says Matt Thomas, buyer at John Lewis & Partners. ‘I always start with my wardrobe.’ Simon Glanville, MD at A Place for Everything, sets a timer for 20 minutes, tackling one drawer at a time. Professional organiser Vicky Silverthorn believes you need to change your approach and mindset to declutter successfully. ‘You may feel that the “house” is such a huge task to fix, while even one “room” feels too big, so go smaller. It doesn’t matter how long it…

THE ORIGINAL The 1980s may have been about excess – bold colour, patterns galore and remember those big curtain swags? But in the 1990s there was a move towards minimalism. Here, subtle stripes on the wall are repeated on the sofa, which are teamed with light furniture and a two-tone colour scheme to keep the look fresh, yet understated. THE UPDATE We’ve decided to up the ante a little, with a move away from the calm and collected colour scheme. We’ve picked pattern clashes, elevated finishes – such as velvet for the cushion and glam, tinted glass – and a strong palette of black and green to create a bigger impact.…
