In the last decade, aluminium bifold doors have been a popular choice for people taking on modern home improvement projects.

They have taken the market by storm because they allow homeowners to open up the rear of their properties and successfully connect the inside with the outside.

Bifold doors are a great option and allow natural light to flood into your home – which is a number one feature when people start thinking about creating more space and making a bright and bigger room.

The warmer weather has finally arrived so let’s celebrate summer with a contemporary conservatory make-over.

It’s time to bring the garden vibes indoors with luxury rattan furniture, chunky cushions and throws and a plethora of potted plants.

Nothing looks prettier in a fabulously styled glazed extension than keeping things simple, but finding a perfect paint colour that connects the outdoors with the indoors is key.

Whether you pick pale pastel paints or go bold with stronger, powerful colours on the wall, they’ll work equally well in a conservatory or extension. As they’re made from lots of glass, they allow every inch of sunlight to bounce in and brighten up every corner of the room.

If you’re lucky enough to have widespan doors or a super skypod roof lantern, you will be feeling the benefit of the great natural light right into October if you’re lucky on a sunny winter day.
