How would you redesign this house?
Comments (12)Hi Catherine, unfortunately the property is end of terrace and the adjoining building is towards the left so no windows on the side with the two reception rooms but I like the interesting ideas - Thanks! OnePlan - wow - I like it - that's a great plan! I absolutely love the idea of removing the lean to and extending the building with a glass roofed extension. Great work - I love it! I did also think to add an extension out the back of the property - about 6x7m extension to use as the main living area of the house as it gets a lot of light. I've attached a basic drawing below of how it would be situated. I would like to add skylights and concertina doors to let as much light into the house as possible. The garden is enormous so am happy to lose this space as it still leaves a huge space in the garden. I am just conscious that I may be blocking some light into the kitchen/family room. I wonder how I could get past this. Another question would be around the upstairs... I've attached the plan for the upstairs as I have no idea how we would redesign this.... bedrooms 3 and 4 are fairly dark and narrow... the landing is also very dark as there is no natural light that can reach that space so considered light tubes from the roof. My only problem with this was that if I wanted to convert my loft in the future, this would cause problems. I do need a 4 bedroom house... I need three bedrooms, one guest room and ideally two bathrooms but can live with one upstairs and one downstairs. Any ideas would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Comments (28)Hi Daniel What a lovely light kitchen! I see you have decided to change the worktop which is a good idea if you don't like the existing (temporary fixes always seem to stay forever in my house, much better to go for a permanent solution if it's within budget!) if you like colours I think the suggested mustard yellow would be good, or teal works really well with white and wood. Also, you mentioned tiled wallpaper, how about some real tiles? I have a new kitchen too, it has very pale grey gloss units and a white quartz worktop and white walls (at the moment, eventually I'm planning to paint them dark grey). It's lovely but a little plain like yours. I found some lovely tiles which are white and grey which sounds very dull. It they introduce pattern which really ties it all together. I think you could choose some tiles with a nice pattern (they don't have to be brightly coloured if that's not your thing). You'd only need 2 rows, not all the way up to the upper units, introducing some pattern could really bring it to life. And perhaps some coloured chairs when you get round to thinking about furniture? Also, how about hanging a picture on the wall below the wall unit above the washing machine? I love a picture in a kitchen! Hope this helps, enjoy decorating your new home!...See MoreIf you could name a colour, what would you call it?

Comments (66)They'll never go out of style Tom - NEVER!! Haha! A10) Ohhh I love eclectic style, Maxine, and yes, I mix styles all the time in my own home! I will say, for as easy as it sounds to just throw everything you love into a space, it’s actually one of the hardest looks to do really well – that’s not to discourage you of course because when it all comes together, it’s incredibly satisfying! While it may be tempting to just include everything you like from all different styles together in one space, the resulting feeling will be one of over-stimulation and confusion. So the secret of this seamless integration requires creativity and some self-imposed boundaries. Sticking with a structured colour palette will give the room cohesiveness without making the room flat and uninteresting. Start with a neutral base for your larger pieces, your paint colours and/or your flooring as a means of grounding the space. Pay attention to how pieces relate to one another and how they relate to the room as a whole. One oversized piece is absolutely fine but 3 or 4 will make the room look cluttered and uncomfortable. Despite using mid-century hoop chairs alongside a more traditional chesterfield in my own living room, the backs of the chairs are of similar height to the low-lying sofa back. There is continuity of the eyeline and nothing jars too dramatically. You also want to ensure that when borrowing from different eras, you mix and match throughout the space – having a mid-century console table with art of the same era hanging above it and then a Victorian style fireplace with an ornate mirror in a different part of the room is going to look ‘off’. Take that artwork and hang it above the fireplace instead and perhaps use the more ornate mirror above the console table instead! Hope that helps!...See MoreCarole Wood
