Help with layout of new build living room
Comments (7)If you're keeping the existing layout I would maybe try something like the attached. In the snug which I would style more formally, I think you need a feature, so would insert a cast iron surround with electric Fire. Antiqued glass either side of the fire floor to ceiling to maximise light. A couple of small cabinets in front of the glass with lamps on. Then the moons are meant to be chairs with a small table in between! I'd have a console with urns etc behind the sofa to create a divide with the tv area. You'd need to make sure the door opened out though. The area is quite big so I'd go for an 8 seater table. The pic is only vaguely to scale! It is also quite tempting to have a hanging woodburner or something but not sure of budget...See MoreInterior layout - help needed, feel like we may have lost the plot
Comments (16)I'm slightly confused by trying to follow this thread, so apologies if this duplicates. Which way does the kitchen window face? Unless there is good reason-direct South? -it may be a pity to demolish any 1920's integrity, especially if only to install dated bi-fold doors. A large aluminium deco style window might be a better idea as it will add character as well as extra low level storage possibilities.Your doors to the garden could be sliding, with glazing bars, or Double French doors. (Photo suggestions attached) If you follow the graph paper plan, then you could also put a sink, dishwasher and noisy machinery in the utility area so that your main living space isn't affected by washing up. It could be a great prep area too and keep unnecessary noise to a minimum as acoustics are really important in a communal space. Food for thought! Best of luck....See MoreGRADE 2 LISTED BUILDING OAK CONSERVATORY
Comments (7)There's so many company plugs on Houzz these days that it can get wearisome. However your post really helps showcase not only what expert design and construction can achieve but also delves into the reasoning behind the various decisions made. I think the final outcome beautifully balances the proportions of the property and adds so much character. Well done!...See MoreNew build 1BR help (living, dining, hallway areas)
Comments (15)Oh man, I decided to brave Ikea on a Saturday and sad to say that Martin was quite uncomfortable! I mean, the seat itself was fine and nothing a nice seat cushion couldn't fix, but the back rest felt like its designed so that you'll have to sit perfectly upright to be remotely comfortable in it. I suppose its good for posture if nothing else, but not something one wants for a dining chair! The Svenbertil was a lot more comfy for about the same size, though a bit more expensive. I was thinking of perhaps a couple of smaller side tables instead of an actual coffee table. Not sure yet. I think I'll have to wait until the sofa gets delivered and I have it in the space before I can really decide. Generally not a fan of glass table surfaces as I can get a bit obsessed over fingerprints and glass just attracts them! I really liked this coffee table when I saw it in the showroom, then I saw the price tag. Yeah, visually on the plan I don't think the long table would work that well in terms of the flow of the space, and I think I'm going to stick with a round one. Surprisingly, the space seemed to be able to fit a D100+/- 5cm relatively well after I folded some towels and tape out the area. The Ikea one you pointed out seems ideal in terms of size, but being all white, seemed a tad boring... though I suppose I could have different chairs to mix it up a bit... a pair in white and a pair in oak. Hmm......See MoreTopBuildUK
