CREATE functional spaces.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Look at what you can do to make the best use of the space available.<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>For example, perhaps:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Add an extra bathroom in student accommodation, or an ensuite in a larger family home<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Put in a separate toilet in the laundry<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Rearrange the kitchen to cater for the latest style of whiteware<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Pop in a study nook separate from the living area, where people can work from home<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Reduce the size of a huge living room and create a pantry for the kitchen<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Installing Efficient and economical power supply system- solar power and hot water system<\/p>\n<p><b>5.
