bedroom

Hi all, Looking for some advice on this as it's frustrating to say the least! North facing bedroom. House is a 1950's built semi. Been here 15 years. No major issues with damp in that bedroom during this time apart from tiny (and I mean tiny) mould spots appearing over the coldest of...

Hello everyone, Hope you're all well! I've signed up to this forum to look for an advise. I've searched the interned to and fro but couldn't find anything similar. My partner and I live in an old mid-terrace house (build 1867) and since we moved in (a year ago) we've been having problems with...

Hi all, I just wanted to check with people more experienced than I that I've not missed anything major with this job of levelling out this wall. Myself and my partner are due to complete on this house soon and in the master bedroom, there is a jut where built-in wardrobes used to be...

I decided to decorate the small box bedroom in my house as it had not been done for years! As a first step I stripped and sanded the bedroom door smooth with an electric sander after having to scrape some bits. The door I think is wood with a type of hardboard covering. The house was built in...

Hello! So decided to redecorate a bedroom ourselves. Removed wallpaper, scrubbed, sanded, cleaned, primed, skimmed and one coat of primer/undercoat. My issue is I have a few areas where I can see 'steps' from where I've skimmed, my fault for not sanding well enough in these areas. Can I use...

Hi after some advice on what would be best to solve the hairline cracks which keep appearing in our spare bedroom. I sanded them down the other year and filled but they've come back,i think i tried caulk last year.The worst is the spare bedroom where the crack goes the entire length of the wall...

Hi planning on building a bunk bed/ playhouse for my kids. Will hopefully be a fair size with a length of 2M and a height of 1.5m. Going to incorporate a slide to the side and have a set of stairs to the other side. The top and bottom floor will have a frame so that both mattresses are sat lower...

Hi all, Just had our upstairs box room re-plastered - old vent taken off, so now an ugly hole into a void... it's a 1940s property - cavity wall - (filled with hay/straw?) and there is an air brick in there. The air brick appears to be blocked from the outside - can't see through it! - perhaps...

Hi Everyone, this is my first post, I hope someone will be able to help! I have an unusual room in my flat and it's pretty large. I am aloud to install stud walls and would like to create another bedroom. I understand that if it's a habitable space, it will need another exit besides the door...

Hi, As per title I need to remove a pendant and ceiling pull switch from a bedroom. What is the best way to go about this? No access from above.. See pic. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Ive found a few threads on this subject, but none seem to really cover our situation. My grandparents are unwell and will be moving into our house. Currently we have a large downstairs living room which we would like to convert into a bedroom for them as they are unable to climb stairs...

We live in a 1950's terraced property and it has a nested roof where the beams come down and actually enter the 1st floor rooms. This means the upstairs rooms have a small 45° section at the top of the exterior walls. The end result is that the highest point of the loft is 1900mm above the...

I am about to start making a loft bed (to fit single mattress) and need some advice about attaching it to the walls. The bed will be in a small extension room. The size of the space allocated (100x190cm) means I could potentially attach it to three walls but wonder if two will be enough. There...

Hi, Can anyone help me with what types of spray paint I can use on radiators as I want a larger variety of colours to use, my project is ombre painting for my little girls bedroom. Can any type of enamel paint work the same as radiator paint? The radiator is already painted, no rust, I just...

I have only recently bought a replacement vent for my baby's bedroom. The house is mid 1950s built and in the box room there is a vent already screwed into the wall. Its the only vent in the house. When I bought the replacement vent I discovered there are no screw holes? I have tried to contact...

The house is a new build of around 4 years old. There is a bedroom above the garage. This bedroom typically remains 5-10 degrees colder than the rest of the house. The loft above that bedroom is inaccessible. I have suspected that that part of the loft is not insulated but had no way of getting...

Hi, first time poster here. I'm in the process of buying a bunglaow for my parents. 1969 build which originally had ducted air heating. There is a boiler in a wardrobe in the bedroom. Initially from the property info the vendors provided we were under the impression that it was installed in...

Hello all, this is my first post here! https://gyazo.com/704537c55e8fa32546d7b898dad1bba9 Here is an image of my computer setup, I have my monitor vesa mounted right under my window sill. As you can probably see, there are cables coming from the monitor that just hang down...

Hi there, I'm looking to build a 'false' wall on one of my bedroom walls, and then cover it in rustic, old style painted wood. This is to hide the chip wood wallpaper (and as it's a rented property I can't strip it) and want to make minimal damage to the wall itself, so when we leave it can be...
