Help! Ideas on how to furnish an open plan kitchen living room?
Comments (13)You have a lovely home to work with. I would say don't underestimate mirrors for making a room look twice as big. Have you considered giant mirrors, or mirroring an entire wall? How about the curved wall? I would pay attention to lighting also, as great lighting can make your home look a million dollars and more spacious. I would make a focal point with television resting on a gorgeous storage cabinet, place wall picture frames on wall where tv is placed, this will draw attention to the art and cabinet rather than the tv itself. I would get highback armchairs and use them for both dining and lounge seating with a sofa. I like those Victorian card tables on wheels, that fold up, multipurpose. Only buy furniture you absolutely love, don't follow trends, follow your heart, after all you want to feel good at home. Don't be half-hearted follow your dreams, be confident. When you fully execute your interior passion you'll be happy and others who come to your home will sense you and credit your style as being authentic, true to you and they will love it as much as they love you....See MoreNeed help with my open plan kitchen living room colour scheme
Comments (6)Hello there, Thanks for your reply, and you’re very welcome. I have found you some similar colours to the list you have provided below: Farrow Ball Skimming Stone Dulux Elderflower Tea Farrow Ball Worsted 284 Dulux Dusted Moss 1 Farrow Ball Elephants Breath Dulux Knotted Twine I hope these colour suggestions are helpful. Unfortantly I wasn’t able to find the colour Wattle II or Wattle III, so I can’t match a Dulux colour from our range I’m afraid. If you would like to double check the colour names, or send me a link to the colours, I would be more than happy to find you a similar colour for you.

Comments (5)Hi Graham, When in doubt, it's always helpful to use masking tape on the floor to visualize the actual size of an item of furniture or in your case, a kitchen island. A standard kitchen worktop is 60 in depth and usually (as best practice) 120 cm is left between a kitchen worktop and a kitchen island. The reason for that is to provide free movement if there are 2 people cooking in the kitchen at the same time (but also if one of them is opening an oven door, for example, and therefore needs more space to back up to do so easily). In order to help you visualize, I've marked in red the kitchen worktop depth and kitchen island. However, I've left around 90 – 100 cm between the two as some people actually prefer it that way. In green would be a standard/smaller two-seat sofa. As you can see, if you wish to have sofas and a dining area in the same room, there isn't much space left if you wish to add a kitchen island. I don't know the requirements of your project but from what I can see from the plan, the kitchen should be more than enough to cover the basic needs. Hope this helps to answer your question. Good luck!...See Morere designing living room into open plan kitchen dining living space
