Small Spaces and Big Ideas

As your family grows and your home possessions increase wouldn’t it be lovely to be just able to move to a bigger home? With increasing house prices and soaring living costs, for many of us, this isn’t an option. However, by rethinking your current living space you can increase your storage options.

Staircases in modern homes are not generally placed very thoughtfully and create a lot of wasted space in most halls and entranceways.  A & T Carpentry works with clients across Birmingham to reevaluate the spaces they have to create staircases that not only match the existing decor and design requirements but also make the best use of the available space. From turning the bottom of the staircase, relocating the staircase, to increasing the number of treads and substituting traditional materials such as wood for glass there are numerous ways to create a feeling of greater space.

The hallway is one of the most used spaces in a home; greeting guests friends and family; hanging coats and bags up; putting on shoes; a playspace for children in need of free floorspace to run toys up and down; displaying precious pictures and family ornaments or even a piano that has been passed down through the family. We look at incorporating storage solutions in your design without adding in additional rooms.
