In this second ‘Cool Features Spotted in New Renovations’ series, we add another 17 ideas to the existing 16 we have seen in 2021. Look through these images, from homes by building designers, architects and interior designers, to see what you might want to incorporate into your build, renovation or future dream home. And while we hope you find concrete ideas that might work in your home, most of all we hope it encourages you into a mindset… to think carefully about the potential and possibilities of every single place in your home, big or small, narrow or wide, up or down.
And remember, you can get more details of a project and see more of a professional’s work, including their contact details, by clicking on an image.
