This means there’s often a lot of space at the foot and top of the stairs, which can be brought back into use. She also converted a former underground public lavatory in Crystal Palace into a one-bedroom apartment. In 2018, Clark joined the BBC to be one of two architects in the television series Your Home Made Perfect with Angela Scanlon, [10] which ran for four seasons with Clark being the only original architect to be kept on the show.

Interestingly, with one budget bathroom project we worked on, I didn’t put any storage in, which is so unusual for me! In general, remodelling the downstairs area is a lot more cost-effective, and even something as simple as sorting out storage on the ground floor can free up space upstairs. If you were potentially thinking of adding another bathroom to a home, which areas of the property would you consider first? Contact the Champions Speakers Agency to provisionally enquire about hiring Laura Jane Clark for your next event, today. Wall panels are great for bathrooms; they’re water-resistant and offer a range of looks, including concrete.

As one of the architect presenters on BBC’s Your Home Made Perfect, Laura started her television career when she was featured on the first ever episode of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces with her Crystal Palace underground-toilet conversion and then regularly featured on the series, as well as on Shed of the Year and Ugly House to Lovely House.Since then, she has featured as a guest judge on the Channel 4 series “Shed of the Year”, showcased her flair for transforming unloved houses on Ugly House to Lovely House, and is now starring in the fourth series of the BBC series Your Home Made Perfect. And, when you sort out your circulation—whether that’s just changing the position of a door or opening up a wall—you’ll notice a huge difference.
