Thanks. I can't personally better my original idea. The layout the planner suggested does work but it would be nice to go more contemporary and have a change as you're spending all the money. In terms of my proposed layout I have attached pics from the globalmail and innatcascade just to give an idea of layout. You could try just a straight run of units along the back, as 15 ft is quite a bit with a long island, and move the FF so it sits behind the glazed double doors and obviously move what I assume is a utility door (I think there's room). If you don't like the bench idea, a round table may be better as it saves on space so you could have it more centrally located. You could also consider having the hob in the island and move the sink.

I love Josette wallpaper. I used it on my chimney breast in my old bedroom. Loved it so much, another shade went up under the dado up the stairs and in the hall in my house too. We then moved and we have it now in our new bedroom in yet another shade! I put the paper up in my old bedroom. It’s tricky but not the worst paper I have ever hung.

Hi Kerry, With this scheme, it’s all about the small details. Don’t worry, there’s a few simple changes you can make that will instantly leave your lounge feeling much more country rustic. I love your tartan curtains, they’re a really nice addition to this scheme. However, my first suggestion would be to swap your existing curtain pole in favour of a wooden alternative. Opt for a natural, shade that matches your existing furniture with simple finials for a classic look. Similarly, I'd suggested replacing your modern DVD storage units with something more sympathetic to the rustic feel you're hoping for. I love these Coby baskets from Habitat which will not only offer a much more 'country' feel to the space but will also help to tie in the warm tones from your curtains and black sofa tones. http://www.habitat.co.uk/coby Also this Hurst rug, also from Habitat. With its natural materials, this will help to enforce your rustic scheme; again using black materials to tie in the darker furniture in your room. http://www.habitat.co.uk/hurst Alternatively , if your looking for something that feels a little softer underfoot, this woven Textura Rug offers similar effect:http://www.argos.co.uk Now for the best bit; the accessories! For a truly rustic feel, I would recommend opting for mix and match cushions rather than matching them to your existing curtains. Here's just a few of my favorites: http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-croft-collection http://www.johnlewis.com/voyage-wallace-cushion http://www.johnlewis.com/g-plan-vintage-scatter-cushion http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-knitted-waves-throw For your walls, I think a calm, neutral palette will look great in your space and help to make your living room feel cosy and relaxed. For the ultimate cosy space, opt for Dulux Potters Clay 3 on all of your walls. Alternatively, if this feels too dark, pair it with Dulux Potters Clay 4 for a cohesive look. I recommend getting tester pots before committing to a new colour to make sure you are 100% happy with the look and finish.

Hi Philip You can hang on wall whatever you like i guess. I would start with a question, is your room soundproofing sorted? After the whole room sound insulation you can then put on wall number of different styles of acoustic panels. And make that way your own art. They are made flat poster look likes or textured like recording studios. I would start with that. Then there are many companies doing large prints so you can use your own photo or picture or notes to make your own personal wallpaper. Just an quick idea anyway:) Kind regards Radek
