Open-plan living will always be a popular option for home interiors, as it really helps to create a sense of space… but it can be quite tricky to get right if you’ve never done it before, so it pays to do as much research as you can and plan properly before you spend any money.

Before you do anything, you need to sit down and think about how you intend to use the space so you know it will fit in with your lifestyle. From there, you can decide on a budget and start thinking about the finer details, such as colour palettes, kitchen cabinets and other home decor items.

A key point to bear in mind with any design project of this kind is how you intend to zone the different parts of the space. Each zone in your open-plan area will be dedicated to a particular task but they need to work well together and complement each other in order for you to end up with a working design.

Also think about how you want to define these different zones. One of the most popular ways of doing this is to add in a kitchen island so you can keep this part of the room separate from dining and living areas.

Or you could achieve something similar by changing the flooring in different zones so the space looks divided but still open and airy. You can use tiles to great advantage here or, if you’re working to a tight budget, investing in rugs can really help make a difference in this regard.

His joint joinery business with his brother and the team of craftsmen in the workshop produce bespoke everything for the project, kitchen, boot room, and fitted furniture for my project.  Meetings are key to a project and Thomas insisted I had coffee at least once a week with him to discuss matters and what we as clients needed to chose for the coming week/weeks ahead so everything as ordered in time to keep the project on time and budget.

We have are forever home thanks to there hard work.

“We have been using Thomas and his team for over twenty years for different projects and different properties over that time, they have remodelled, extended, re-landscaped, redecorated.

Thomas’s team are always well mannered and respectful, Thomas himself is very client focused to make sure everything we wanted is achieved and to the very highest standard, he has always. project managed everything including the soft furnishings, so we have a complete turn key project.

We would be happy to recommend and will be continuing to use for our next move.”

“I’ve had plenty of bad experiences with builders in the past, I wasn’t sure whether to go to Patrick Thomas or not. I then spoke to one of their existing clients they we go far wrong to use them. I decided to give them a go, they were beyond helpful and gave me the confidence to completely renovate my home.”

“We had lots of meetings and there was total transparency, we were on budget apart from my extras which I decided I wanted but that was to be expected but nothing was done before the extra cost was agreed, very professional company.”

A Adams

“We employed Thomas and his company to carry out the renovations to a large house and cottage that we brought, altering and extending, renewing bathrooms and kitchen. Renovation of the pool, and building of an oak frame barn and out buildings that we wanted and to bring the faded landscape back to life.

Thomas dealt with all the planning for the property and guided us with the architects to achieve the best for the us at the property, he help my wife with colour palettes for each room, and guided us on bathroom design and tiles, he even had a man in his contacts to make bespoke sofas we needed and there was also a lady to make the curtains and blinds. A full service and a rare find to get a builder to do a complete project who understands every aspect and pulls it together.”

“Thomas of Patrick Thomas construction was employed along with his Company by our surveyor who we asked to manage the rebuild of my mothers house after is was destroyed by fire, from the. first pre-contact meeting, I took to Thomas calming attitude of nothing really phases him and everything is achievable.

He worked with my 80 year old mothers demands of her style, he would listen carefully and then manage to guide her to a more modern approach and layout and still give here the look she wanted and was use to. He helped her rebuild the love for her home after fire and she felt like the decades of memorys hadn’t been destroyed, my mother is a very formal lady but she felt very relaxed and at ease with Thomas.

He and the team completely rebuilt the house and remodelled to suit my mothers needs, the bespoke joinery they made was of the finest quality, and every finish and detail was exemplary, Thomas even waited at the house to open the door they day mother moved in just to make sure she was happy and comfortable, before he left the job.

I believe he still calls in for tea every now and then, as I hear My builder came for tea today.”
