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.
