7. Drop Your Floor Levels
7. Drop Your Floor Levels (Image 7 of 11)
George says: 'Dropping floor levels will give your rooms increased height. You can have a ground floor literally dug out. Houses with suspended timber floors are a good example of where this works - they can be ripped out, dropped by as much as a foot and replaced with a concrete floor to make the whole space feel bigger. If you're going to do this, go to town - put a proper concrete slab in so the space is fully damp-proofed and invest in underfloor heating, too.'
