Most of us want to improve our homes and to increase their value at the same time, but very few of us have the money to spend on a professional architect. In ROOM PLANNER designer Paula Robinson gives you all the ideas and practical information you need to adapt the space in which you live. The book features 250 clear, colour-coded plans allowing you to pick and choose layouts and designs according to what's appropriate for your home, whether you have a bedsit or a five-bedroom house. To reflect changing lifestyles, the emphasis is very much on versatility and flexibility. With chapters on Versatile space (how to create additional rooms), High-performance space (maximising the potential of each room), Practical space (storage, soundproofing), Flexible space (creating moveable partitions) and basic advice and tips, this is an essential manual not only for homeowners seeking to rethink their living space, but also for those who are building their home from scratch. Paula and Phil's guide will inspire in you the confidence and enthusiasm to maximise the potential of your living space, so that you too can create your dream home.
