NATALIE & MYLES’
NEW-BUILD TIPS
+Go with the process and be
open-minded as often the things
you end up loving weren’t planned
for and can end up being the
things you enjoy the most.
+Trust your gut and don’t
overthink a decision.
+Buying good quality pays
dividends in the long term.
Also, buy less but buy right.
+Make it your style, not
someone else’s.

HONESTY BOX
+What areas of your home
did you save on? Splurge on?
Glazing was essential, as was
underfloor heating.
+Do you tend to buy high-end
homeware or seek out a
bargain? We love the mix of old
and new, so the house doesn’t feel
too ‘shiny’. We adore our vintage
dining chairs and bar stools which
add that rustic feel.
+Best advice when it comes to
spending money on a home?
Don’t buy too much prior to the
build as it might not work in the
finished space. Also, research
materials and invest in areas that
are important to you.
+How did you keep track of
costs during the build? Myles
created a fixed-price build from
the start, itemised on a massive
spreadsheet, encompassing all
our requirements.
