Garage Conversion Ideas
Living Kitchen
This is the ideal way to get a larger kitchen with space to eat and entertain in, without using up valuable garden space.
example : The garage conversion involved removing the rear wall of the garage where it backed on to the existing kitchen to open the spaces for an open plan area that could be enjoyed by all members of the family. The brief also included an area for the children to watch television and use the games console, but not be in a separate room.

You need enough headroom to make it worthwhile, obviously. And the insulation requirements these days eat into that headroom quite quickly. Also if your roof is built with trusses (as a lot of modern houses are) then many of the supports would need to be removed, requiring structural strengthening by other means and generally adding a lot of cost. Older roofs with simpler construction (joists and rafters) are usually easier to convert. Basically if you can stand up and walk around in your loft without having to climb over/around lots of timbers then you are probably OK.
There's not much you can learn without going up there though

Loft conversion
A loft conversion is one of the easiest ways of adding space to your home. Depending on the roof structure and planning constraints, almost all houses can benefit from this type of extension with a bit of basic planning.
Loft Conversions: Cost vs Usable Space
Before embarking on an expensive attic con­ver­sion think carefully about the cost relative to the amount of useful space that can be gained, and the impact on the existing accom­­modation. In order to comply with the Building Regulations to form an additional bedroom in the roof space, the floor may need strength­ening and the roof will need to have at least 150mm of insulation, plus a 50mm clear air gap (unless you are able to replace the existing roofing felt with a breathable mem­brane).

The result of bringing the loft space up to habitable requirements is that the ceiling height will typically be lowered by 60-100mm and the floor level raised by at least 15-20mm. Both of these changes will reduce the amount of usable space with good headroom. If steel purlins or joists need to be added, too, this can further reduce the space.

If the usable space is limited, consider raising the roof height by rebuilding it, or even lowering the existing ceiling height below. Accessing a habitable loft conversion requires a permanent staircase and this will need landing space.

If you decide the cost of a full loft conversion cannot be justified because of space constraints, con­sid­er improving the loft space to create storage accessed by a fold-away loft ladder or space-saver stair­case? This can be achieved at a signif­icantly lower cost than a full conversion. Attic con­ver­sions cost from £600/m² for a simple con­version, up to £1,500/m² for more compli­cated work.

interior designers come up with creative plans for decorating a space by balancing individual design elements, such as furniture layout, color scheme and functionality. Interior designers typically need a diverse skill set to produce layout sketches, provide cost estimates for clients and foster business relationships with contractors.Since interior designers work in various settings, such as retail stores, private homes, hotels, restaurants and offices, their designs must reflect the occupants and each room's intended use. For example, designers working with health care facilities may concentrate on maximizing space for medical equipment and providing safe housing for patients. Professionals designing entertainment venues may devote more time to the space's aesthetic value.

Interior designers typically oversee the selection and purchase of the furniture, accents, lighting and fixtures in a room. They choose specific colors or finishes for the walls and floor, and they often use drawings or digital blueprints to pitch their ideas to clients. Depending on the job requirements, interior designers may collaborate with engineers, architects, furniture designers, builders, plumbers and other skilled professionals.
As project leaders, interior designers are often responsible for managing a timeline and meeting with collaborators to stay on track. They also need to make sure their designs comply with the health codes of the client's industry. In addition to industry specialties, interior designers may develop niche skills, such as sustainable, eco-friendly design.

Classic Style

It is a refined style, developed, rich in details, which are found both in the structure of furniture, lighting, etc. as well as in sets, prints. The furniture is the “art” type, carved or inlaid details and apply. Decorated with floral elements, vegetable, various leitmotif or scenes drawn from legends.

Modern Minimalist Style
This style is a form of extreme accuracy, nothing is too much, without heavy backgrounds. The emphasis is on simplicity, the colors may be dull or bright, in any case flashy colors. Pieces are either geometric shapes – square, rectangular, round, but the surfaces are clean, no scenery, no details. Minimalist modern style by its name, illustrates the simplified forms.

BEING SUCCESSFUL WELL TRUSTED“I love listening to a customer’s story, figuring out what their ‘pain points’ are, and coming up with a solution.”
“I love it when I can make a customer’s day by doing more than they expected.”
“I love being able to change a customer’s opinion of the company. Sometimes a customer will call with a problem and expect to have a difficult time resolving it. I love hearing the change in their voice when I make it easy.”
If meeting tight deadlines is a critical part of the job, you could say something like:
“I love the challenge of meeting an impossible deadline. I like to compare it to training for a race – how can I get the job done more quickly without sacrificing quality?”
“I like tight deadlines because they help maintain a sense of urgency. When you have a lot more time than you need to complete a project, it’s easy to get complacent.”
