DON'T FORGET...!
When undertaking the renovation of your house there are countless decisions to make and the enormity of it all can sometimes mean that some seemingly unimportant areas get little time and attention. But remember...small spaces can make big impressions! For example, that neglected store room in the basement can easily and inexpensively be transformed into a showcase wine cellar. By creating space to have a focal point at the end of the room, a recessed downlight highlights a magnum of wine and a small backlight throws a wine canister into soft relief. Now this wine cellar becomes a rich opulent den to store many a bottle of Bordeaux.
So often the WC is squeezed under the stairs or in a forgotten corner, but that does not mean that the design doesn't count. Why not make this a room to remember with some fun wallpaper and a couple of wall lights on a dimmer. Wherever possible, use mirrors to bounce the light around and increase the sense of space.

Or maybe it's that windowless room in the basement used to store all the bits and bobs no one needs...how about transforming this into the room of your dreams; a cinema for the stars! Here LED uplights frame the entrance and a fibre optic starry sky softly twinkles away whilst the movie is being watched. Should kids be playing in the space, linear fluorescents have been concealed to flood the room with a daylight feel when needed.

So have some fun and exploit your imagination to create dazzling and different rooms in the least expected areas of your home.
