Terrace house project in  South Kensington

The south of the Royal Borough of Kensington has classic buildings. But it also has modernity and class coexisting with the vintage in this neighbourhood; we made this renovation project on a busy terrace house, which is proof of that.

Will it be possible to modernize the structure and create spacious and functional rooms in a terrace house? Learn about the entire process below.

In terms of décor, total renovations almost always start in the kitchen and dining area. However, we had a terrace with a lot of potential in this project, so we were inspired by the space's use to create an airy and smooth atmosphere.

Make the most of your space by installing a large kitchen, and make the sky part of your renovation with a large skylight in the middle. And as for the dining room, think of a spacious and minimalist place, which allows you to have guests at ease and be a perfect place for meetings.

Let's not forget the rooms. In this project, the size of the property was an advantage, but if you want to create large main bedrooms and make this place a comfortable family home, the best idea is to reduce the space of the corridors.

You can have something like this for your home, but if you intend to make a home improvement to sell your property, then read on.

Increasing the value of a terrace house in South Kensington is a process that requires a lot of creativity. 

In the case of buildings that are more than four decades old, the renovation should start with the heating control, plumbing and electrical installation. Of course, aesthetics always add value to your deck, but the first thing to do is update all the fittings under modern standards. 

After the technical aspects, it is time to add paint changes and other elements to your project. So, if you want to increase the property's value, you should focus on the things that provide comfort to future buyers.

In this home improvement, notice how we modified the external face of this property without changing the original aesthetics. But, adding elements such as floor heating, kitchen and bathrooms increased the chances future buyers would seek this terrace. 

For a remodel like this, you need time and effort. We spent about thirteen months on this project to achieve the best results.

So, if you want to modernize your home or business, you need to think beyond paint and furniture and consider the specific community regulations.

Remember: Neighbours in residential areas want to be in peace, so having specialists who follow the rules and do professional work, like the one you have seen, is essential.

Did you think modernizing an old-fashioned terrace in South Kensington would be impossible? Now you must be sure it is a possible and excellent investment.
