With various house types available at Merchants Gait, focus your finishing plans on maximising each room's potential. Larger family homes benefit from quality carpet in bedrooms and luxury vinyl or engineered wood in living areas for durability. Consider plantation shutters or quality blinds for privacy and light control - particularly important in open-plan layouts. Neutral paint colours help smaller homes feel more spacious, while feature walls can add character to larger properties. Built-in storage solutions work well in any size home but are especially valuable in compact layouts. For gardens, establish boundaries with fencing before tackling landscaping - Scottish weather demands hardy planting choices.
