Welcome to Abode - your guide to self-build and renovation in the west of Scotland
Your home of the future!
Find out all you need to know about building your own home or undertaking a complete renovation with Abode magazine, brought to you by Wyvex Media at West Coast Today.
Jane Austen said ‘Ah! There is nothing like staying home for real comfort.’ And we definitely agree. Being at home should be the ultimate luxury. In today’s world, where our house is not only shelter for our bodies and a refuge from the world for our souls, it is just as likely to be our workplace. And over the past few years, smart technology has come a long way. Features that looked like the Jetsons before are now widely available.
That’s why, despite the cost of living crisis, it seems our enthusiasm for self-building or renovating is still as strong as ever. But the way we do it is changing, from more of us performing more of the labour ourselves, to installing energy saving features throughout the property.
It’s a myth that you have to be wealthy or young to create the perfect home for your and your family. According to a recent survey, most self-builders, for example, have a household income of less than £50k a year and work with a relatively modest budget. Nearly 70 per cent are at least 55, and more than a third of them are retired.
The time to start your journey to a happy home is now. So whether you are looking for the convenience of a kit house, the flexibility of a bespoke design or just want to transform your existing home into a space you really love, our guide is full of tips, trends and fantastic businesses that can make it happen.
