Over the course of last year, the pandemic has allowed us to all spend a lot more time in our homes, whether working or spending time with family. It has made us realise the importance of our home and sparked our interest in improving the spaces we use the most. During the first lockdown, many of us took on our own DIY tasks such as painting fences, retiling the kitchen, and even making our own furniture to refresh our homes and gardens. But while 2020 may have been about small updates, we predict that 2021 will be the year we take on bigger, bolder projects.
According to GoodMove, in 2020 48% of households refreshed their homes and have spent an average of £1,640 on improvements, with 359,013 households applying for planning permission across the UK. In a recent home improvements report, it has been noted that renovation and interior design trends will continue to surge in 2021 and beyond. Kitchen and bathroom renovations remain in the top 5 most popular home improvements.
Kitchen Worktop Transformations
Thinking of giving your kitchen a refresh? A new worktop would provide your space with a stylish new look and feel. Landford Stone is home to a variety of materials and a stunning array of colours and styles to choose from, so there is always a surface to bring any home to life.
Quartz is becoming an increasingly popular kitchen countertop material. It provides kitchens with a smooth and flawless finish, creating a sleek aesthetic space for families to enjoy. Quartz is also virtually scratch-resistant, extremely robust, and easily cleanable, making it the perfect kitchen surface to withstand stains from common household products. With a huge variety of colours and styles to choose from, a Quartz kitchen worktop can add an element of sophistication and a lifetime of beauty to your home.
For busy kitchens, granite’s robustness provides a perfectly cool and sterile surface for food preparation. Granite is a natural stone and an ideal material to create a luxurious, modern kitchen. Every slab of granite is unique and encapsulates natural beauty, transforming your kitchen into a stunning space.
Bathroom Renovations
Beautiful and highly resistant to bacteria and mould, limestone is the ideal material for bathrooms. It has been used by our ancient ancestors across history to create a luxurious bathing experience; its earthy aesthetic can add elegance to any home. If you choose limestone for your bathroom, it can be laid out in a mosaic pattern and its undeniable beauty will brighten up even smaller spaces.
We also love a marble floor in bathrooms. Marble is nature’s most stunning natural stone and has been used for centuries to beautify the home. Combining style and strength, marble is a practical choice for bathroom flooring, wall cladding, wet rooms, and bath surrounds. Its timeless elegance can be a breath-taking addition to any home.
Smaller Projects
Make your home even more glamourous by using stone offcuts for smaller projects such as a new utility room, a fireplace or even an outside bar or BBQ area. Offcuts are often readily available in a variety of colours and materials, including granite and quartz, so you will be able to find the ideal material to match with the rest of your home. There are huge savings to be had!
