Gavin Helgeson, Rooflight Division Manager from Duplus, commented:

“Homeowners and homeworkers are rapidly turning to home improvements to ensure their increasingly frequent surrounding is as enjoyable place as possible to reside. For some, this is simple painting and decorating, replacing worn furniture, and adding a few luxuries. However, for others this is something slightly more dramatic.

“Major improvements such as extensions, internal renovations, and garden buildings appear to be sharply on the rise. We have seen an increased number of visitors from new build enquiries to property renovators looking to improve the lighting and space in their homes.

“If you are looking to make your home look or feel more luxurious in 2022, we hope these suggestions inspire you on what is possible, no matter what your budget”.
