If you’re planning a home renovation, you will want to overhaul certain aspects of your abode with the view of improving your existing facilities, or creating brand new ones.
There are some stunning homes in Edinburgh, and traditional architecture plays a huge part in the local style of houses and apartments. Knowing how to incorporate your renovations to fit the beautiful architecture is a gift.
If you need some inspiration for using wire in your home renovations, here are five tips to get you started.
- Wire Storage Facilities
Every home needs storage, so finding a way to incorporate this into your home renovations will help you create seamless storage solutions that won’t feel bulky in each room.
Whether you opt for wire shelving units, or racks to store your shoes in a cloakroom or cupboard, wire is tough and durable, as well as easy to clean. This makes storing messy items a doddle!
- Fencing or Railings
If you live in a home with a wood burning stove or an open fire, you will likely need a fire guard if you have pets or young children.
By using wire to create a high quality fire guard, you are using a material that is fireproof, and durable. If you only need an ornamental fire guard to prevent stray sparks or material falling out of the fire, you can use a material like chicken wire in a sturdy metal frame.
- Wire in Decorations or Room Dividers
When you’ve renovated your home, you’ll likely want some decorations to suit your new aesthetics. Flexible wire from retailers like Ormiston Wire can help you create some stunning decorations for indoor or outdoor use!
Whether you want to decorate your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or garden, the possibilities are endless with your creative powers.
- Use in Garden for Supporting Plants
You can also use wire in the garden for supporting your climbing plans and young trees. Climbing plants like wisteria, clematis, and honeysuckle typically need additional support, which is where flexible thin wire can come in handy!
You can use this to secure your plants to trellises which will mean they will grow tall and strong without breaking.
You can also use thin wire for tying young trees to stakes, which will stop them from falling over in strong wind before their trunks are strong enough to support them. Just remember to replace the wire as the trees grow to prevent the tree growing through the wire!
- Wire Bins
Bins are essential around the home, but it can be expensive to buy one for each room. Why not craft your own from excess wire you have from projects or DIY?
You can decorate your bins by threading colourful beads onto the wire, painting the wire, or covering the bins in fabric.
If you need inspiration for making your own wire bins, why not use Pinterest for inspiration? You can create your own mood boards featuring your favourite ideas and compare them all in the same place. It’s never been easier to find bright ideas for your renovated home.
