Time To Get Your Project Off The Starting Blocks
Are you staring at the same four walls dreaming of an update? Is your project on hold while we’re stuck in Lockdown? Here are a few things you can be doing to get prepared for when the restrictions are lifted and we can get back on track.
1.Think about your room
Which room do you want to change and why? Is it a complete overhaul such as replacing a whole kitchen or is it something less daunting like a replacement floor?
Either way, take some time to stand in your room and think about the practicalities and how you use the room. Maybe you need more storage or more floor space. Maybe the room needs more light or an area for home-working.
2.Research your project
The internet is a wonderful place to gather inspiration. Pinterest and Instagram are great visual mediums to gain ideas and to discover what options are out there. For inspiration on kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, flooring and paint, head on over to the 4homes Inspiration pages where you’ll find tons of great ideas.
3.Measure & photograph your room
Under normal circumstances, our designers would visit your property to discuss your plans as well as take measurements and photographs. If you want to get ahead of the game you can do the measuring and photographing yourself. You don’t have to know where everything is going to go, that’s what we’re here for!
Previous blog posts outline step by step guides on how to measure and the important things to photograph to ensure you have captured all the vital information.

4.Contact us!
Once you have all your information, contact your local showroom who can add you to their client list. They will then contact you to make an appointment as soon as they are able to do so.
For those living in the East Devon area, we will be happy for you to send us your plans and pictures. We can also discuss your requirements either by telephone or face to face on a virtual chat.
5.Imediate projects
If you’re handy with a paintbrush or wish to flex your DIY muscles during lockdown, there are some projects you can be getting on with right now.
Flooring
Click Flooring is an easy to fit floor with just a few basic tools required. This LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is a little more flexible than laminate flooring and was created with the competent DIYer in mind. There are many styles and colours to choose from in a range of wood effect or tile effect finishes.
To discuss borrowing samples or ordering your Click flooring, give us a call.
Paint
The quickest, and by far the easiest, way to update your home is with a fresh lick of paint.
The Little Greene Paint Company carries an array of beautiful colours and shades that will instantly brighten your walls and bring new life to your home. It also comes in several finishes such as Absolute Matt, Intelligent Eggshell and Exterior Gloss.
And what’s more, if you order your paint or samples from us during lockdown you can have them delivered direct to your door for no extra charge. So what are you waiting for?
