The home is our pride and joy and every year we have plans to further improve our personal living spaces. <\/p>\n

Perhaps this is as simple as redecorating, our perhaps you\u2019re considering greater ideas of extensions or conversions. <\/p>\n

But there always seems to be a trend and this year is no different. <\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a look at your home number ones for the rest of 2014:

Don\u2019t forget: If you\u2019ve gone out and bought some exotic plants then you may need to consider adding these to your home insurance. Check the small text because some policies will only include \u00a3200 of cover for stolen plants. <\/p>\n

The number one home improvement\u2026<\/h2>\n

What room in your home are you desperate to make changes to? Well for many, this is the kitchen. The kitchen is regarded as the hub of the home and an area where you spend countless hours cooking and preparing food. Kitchens are actually the room most frequently improved over the last three years. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget: No matter which home improvement you\u2019re considering, make sure you\u2019ve thought of all the options available to you. Always compare a number of quotes if you plan to use a company for the work. <\/p>\n

The number one item in your shed\u2026<\/h2>\n

Is there a shed in your garden? It\u2019s very likely there is because as many as 73% of the population has one. So what do you keep in yours? The chances are tools. But don\u2019t forget, tools and equipment can quickly add up to hundreds and even thousands of pounds, so always ensure yours is secured with at least a padlock. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget: Thieves will always try to make life easy for themselves. An unlocked shed, back door or even an open window, equals easy access. Always be vigilant and ensure everything\u2019s locked up before leaving home. <\/p>\n

The number one item you\u2019d save in a fire\u2026<\/h2>\n

This fact has altered considerably over the last few decades as material goods change on a yearly basis. And now, would you believe it, if there was a fire you\u2019re likely to grab the laptop or iPad. It has all your personal details on and probably a number of family photos too which are precious to you. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget: Photographs can be backed up to Cloud devices so they\u2019re away from your home in the case of an emergency. Don\u2019t put yourself at risk by running back into the home in the event of an hazard. <\/p>\n
