‘Cheers’ to 14 years of Cube!

This June, Cube is celebrating its 14th anniversary of transforming customers’ homes through loft conversions, extensions and refurbishments.

The design gloves are off: open-plan vs broken-plan

More recently there has been a lot of noise about a couple of particular spatial home design opponents, reminding us of professional boxers competing in the ring. It’s the fight of the two main home design types: open-plan versus broken-plan. Designers opinions are divided over the question as to whether open-plan layouts have had their […]

How Londoners would spend their lottery win…

For those of us who’ve ever bought a lottery ticket, the sheer thought of all your numbers being drawn and securing the jackpot sends a surreal sense of excitement down the spine. Imagining what that tax free money could buy you, is a very pleasant thing. And on that note, a recent survey of 1,000 […]

Top of the Cube posts

Many homes across London, Surrey and Berkshire have undergone our end-to-end services this year. We refurbished, extended, built loft conversions and, in some cases, implemented all of these home improvements at once. Every project is unique and that satisfying ‘post build feeling’ of having achieved a total transformation is always going to be a great […]

The kitchen renovation wish list

In this day and age, it’s very strange to think that the dining room was once deemed the heart of the British home when these days we strongly associate this term with the kitchen. Its purpose is well beyond just cooking. In fact, kitchens have become a very popular and welcoming space in which to […]

Ditch the draught this winter

Now that the rather unusually warm autumnal weather has given way to frosty nights and single-digit temperatures, it’s time to rid your home of unwelcome chills and make it cosy again. The elephant in the room is a draught – a clear sign that your home is not running as efficiently as it should! Draught-proofing […]

We’ve created our ‘Spotlight on’ blog for that very reason, providing you with both insights and ideas as to what you could do with your home.
