I’ve found the best recycling bin. It deserves its own reel♻️

This is the SquishBin from @reborn_homes and we genuinely think it’s such a clever idea.

It’s designed for soft plastic packaging that seem to take over the kitchen, bread bags, crisp packets, cereal liners, food packaging etc and you simply squash it down as you go.

A huge 20 litres of soft plastic can fit into this little 5 litre bin!

And I love that it doesn’t look like a recycling bin. It’s simple, compact and can sit neatly on the worktop or inside a cupboard. It also come with a panel that you can mount it if you prefer.

A really clever little addition if, like me, you’re trying to make recycling a bit easier without compromising on how your kitchen looks. 🤍♻️

I’ll link it on my stories - not an advert, just a recommendation 💚

Do you need a little more space on your home?

A loft conversion, kitchen extension or small side extension could be enough to transform the way your home works for you.

And depending on the size and design, your project may even fall under Permitted Development Rights, meaning planning permission may not be required.

And depending on the size and design, your project may even fall under Permitted Development Rights, meaning planning permission may not be required.

We can help you work out what’s possible and take your idea through to the drawings you need, including planning and Building Regulation drawings.

You don’t always need a bigger house.

Sometimes you just need to make a little more room in the one you already love. ❤️

📩 Get in touch with Dexter Designs to talk through your ideas.

One of the simplest renovation tips… but one that so many people forget. 👇

Before your plasterboard goes up, photograph all your pipes and cables and underfloor heating in every room.

✅ Photograph every wall from multiple angles.
✅ Record where all pipes and cables run.
✅ Measure their position from fixed points like corners and floors.
✅ Keep everything organised in folders by room.

Years later, when you’re fitting shelves, hanging a TV, installing a new kitchen or tracking down a leak, you’ll be incredibly grateful you took the time.

Future you will thank present you.

📌 Save this post for your next renovation.
💬 Did you know people actually do this?

A huge thank you @yoursocialsmanagerjasmine for creating our fantastic new website! 🤍

We couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, Jasmine has been incredibly knowledgeable, professional and patient. She dealt with everything for us, answered every question we had, and any amendments we wanted were made almost immediately. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

As architects, we’re probably some of the fussiest clients when it comes to design and attention to detail, but Jasmine absolutely delivered. She understood exactly what we were trying to achieve and created a website and branding that really reflects who we are.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with her, and I genuinely can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone to create a beautiful website or help with your branding and social media, she’s the person to speak to.

Thank you again, Jasmine! We love it. 🤍

This is not an advert. We are fully paying clients. We love to support and recommend other small businesses and absolutely would recommend @yoursocialsmanagerjasmine 💞
