Interior fit-out in Marche-en-Famenne

The Bedroom: A Sanctuary Dedicated to Rest

Master Suite and Integrated Dressing Area

The layout of a bedroom primarily meets the need for calm and serenity. In Marche houses, we regularly transform classic bedrooms into master suites that include a private water area or a dressing space.

Acoustics, Storage, and Soothing Finishes

Acoustics are a central issue. We install soundproof partitions and floor coverings that absorb impact noise — essential when bedrooms are located above a wooden floor. To free up visual space and optimize storage, the installation of a custom dressing utilizes the full height of the ceiling and adapts to the sometimes atypical angles of old buildings. The choice of colors and finishing materials complements this work: we favor soothing tones and natural surfaces that invite rest.

Technical and Functional Spaces: Kitchen and Bathroom

The Kitchen: A Living Space, Not Just for Cooking

The modern kitchen has become a true space for conviviality. We work on the ergonomics of the activity triangle — sink, cooking, refrigeration — to make each movement fluid, whether it's an L-shaped kitchen or a layout with a central island. Opening up to the living area is often requested: in this case, we address smoke evacuation and ventilation so that the open kitchen remains pleasant on a daily basis.

The Bathroom: Functionality and Waterproofing

In the bathroom, the layout aims to maximize well-being in sometimes limited spaces. We prioritize wall-mounted fixtures and walk-in showers to free up visual space. Waterproofing and ventilation are our technical priorities — a poorly ventilated bathroom produces stagnant humidity that degrades finishes and structures. Waterproofing membranes like Kerdi are implemented in at-risk areas before any tiling.

Productivity and Organization: Office and Dressing

A Home Office Designed for Concentration

The evolution of work modes has made the home office space a necessity in Marche-en-Famenne and beyond. It is not enough to place a desk in a corner of the room: an effective workspace requires well-oriented natural lighting, thoughtful acoustics, and integrated storage to promote concentration without visual clutter.

Modular Dressing: Corridor, Alcove, or Dedicated Room

Beyond the bedroom, the dressing can find its place in a wide corridor, an alcove, or a dedicated room. We design modular layouts — wardrobes, accessory drawers, internal LED lighting — that evolve with your needs without requiring new structural intervention.

Circulations and Volume: Staircase and Glass Roof

The staircase: architectural landmark of the interior volume

The fit-out of a staircase is a strong architectural element that structures the perception of your interior. As part of a global fit-out, its renovation or replacement transforms the entrance hall. We offer models in wood, metal, or mixed materials, with or without risers to play on transparency and visual lightness.

The workshop-style glass roof: controlled light and separation

The glass roof in workshop style allows you to structure the space without blocking the light. It creates a separation between two areas — hall and living room, kitchen and dining room — while maintaining a visual perspective and light circulation. It is an effective tool for giving a contemporary or industrial character to a house.

Utilizing the Envelope: Attic and Garage

The attic: a reserve of living space

The attic often represents several dozen square meters that are unused. Fitting it out in Marche-en-Famenne allows you to create an additional bedroom, an office, or a playroom without touching the structural work. This requires impeccable thermal insulation, possible reinforcement of the floor, and special attention to access and regulatory clearances. The gain in living space is immediate.

The garage: from parking to living space

If your garage no longer accommodates a vehicle, it can become an organized laundry room, a workshop, a gym, or even a fully-fledged living space. We manage the insulation of the walls, the replacement of the garage door with a glass door or a standard door, and all necessary technical connections — electricity, heating, ventilation — to make the space fully livable.

Common Issues and Our Solutions

Custom wardrobe ordered before checking angles and heights

Marche houses — rehabilitated farms, bourgeois houses from the early 20th century — are rarely perfectly orthogonal. A wardrobe ordered based on approximate measurements often arrives with cabinets that do not fit into corners or that hit a sloping ceiling. The solution is simple but requires method: our specialists take complete measurements before any order, checking squareness and measuring heights at several points. No custom furniture is ordered without these validated measurements.

Glass partition installed without prior verification on a load-bearing wall

An interior glass partition often involves opening an existing wall. If this wall is load-bearing — which is common in old buildings in the province of Luxembourg — such an intervention without load transfer by a properly sized HEA or IPN beam endangers the building's structure. At Avenir Rénovations, every opening in a wall is preceded by a structural analysis. If load transfer is necessary, we plan and carry it out before any glass partition installation.

Large format tiles installed on insufficiently dry screed

A large format tile — 60×60 cm or more — installed on a screed that has not completed its drying is subjected to residual movements of the substrate: cracking, detachment, or joint cracking appear in the months that follow. The drying time for a traditional screed in Belgium is about one month per centimeter of thickness — a rule we strictly adhere to, with hygrometric measurement before any installation. No tiles are laid on an unvalidated screed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an interior glass partition and in what situations should it be installed?

An atelier-style glass partition is a glazed separation with a metal structure that delineates two spaces — hall and living room, kitchen and dining room — without closing off the visual perspective or blocking natural light. It creates a sound or olfactory separation while maintaining a sense of open space. This solution is particularly appreciated in Marche houses with large partitioned rooms that one wishes to make brighter without touching load-bearing walls.

Can a garage be converted into a livable room in Marche-en-Famenne?

Yes. If your garage no longer houses a vehicle, it can become a laundry room, workshop, gym, or even a full living space. The work includes insulating the walls, replacing the garage door with a bay window or standard door, and all necessary connections — electricity, heating, ventilation. A check of local urban planning rules (CoDT) is carried out before starting the work.

Is a building permit required to convert attics in Marche-en-Famenne?

The conversion of existing attics without modifying the built volume or the roof generally does not require a permit in Wallonia. However, work involving the creation of a dormer, an additional roof frame, or a modification of the roof silhouette does require a building permit. Avenir Rénovations checks the regulatory constraints applicable to your plot during the preliminary visit.

How to choose between a custom wardrobe and a modular wardrobe?

A custom wardrobe utilizes the full height under the ceiling and adapts to the atypical angles of old buildings in the Marche region. It is ideal for irregular spaces or alcoves under slopes. A modular fit-out is more suitable for standardized spaces and offers the flexibility to evolve with your needs without new structural intervention. Our carpenters study each configuration to recommend the most cost-effective solution.
