Modernise interiors or keep period character

August 18, 2018 By BuildBuro Leave a Comment

If you own a period property in London, perhaps in a conservation area or even a Listed building,  you may consider doing some building work or interior renovation work so it is more comfortable and practical for you to enjoy. You will need to ask yourself a couple of questions regarding the nature of the refurbishment work that needs doing and what you want to end up with. The biggest decision to make on the interior of your property is whether to preserve the style of the property in your renovation or to bring it up to date and in line with modern tastes.

Period property renovation

Often when your house needs renovating, you don’t want to lose the specific character it oozes because of the architecture or its interior period style. Indeed, some of the Georgian, Regency, Victorian or Edwardian homes in London are considered the most beautiful in the world. When renovating period property in London, an experienced construction company with experience operating in London over several years will be able to preserve your property’s character or even enhance it with their construction work.

Modern overhauls for period property

You may prefer the idea of injecting a more modern style into your interiors and changing the layout. Happy with the character and period style of the exterior of the house, you may be more concerned with modernising your interiors so they work much better and have a more contemporary design. Again, this is perfectly possible, even in conservation areas and you must be clear and communicate your specification so that your interior designers incorporates them into your building plans and the builders can create the home in London you so desperately crave.
