80s Fireplace
Comments (7)What it looks like you have there is a gas fire called a valor ultimate slimline which is designed to go into what we would call a precast flue, which basically is a slim flue system, wood burners would require class 1 flue systems like your traditional brick built chimney with a chimney stack, if you look on your roof you may have a raised ridge tile this would confirm wether or not it is precast flue as shown in the picture. If this is the case the only way you could have a woodburning stove is to run a external flue up the side of the house if it is a semi or detached property and you could house the stove in a false chimney as suggested but this can be quite a costly affair with all the flue components required. Otherwise you will require a gas fire which is suitable for a precast flue, if you require any further advice please don't hesitate to ask....See More1950's fireplace
Comments (31)Your house looks lovely, I really like all the original doors and panelling. I can see that you wouldn't want to style everything in a 1930s way, but understand matching/complementing the colours of the fireplace are quite restrictive too! I would try a few testers of browny-toned greys for the walls to get the fireplace to blend in rather than stand out. I couldn't live with a brown and cream room but suggest something like F & B 'light grey' or 'old white' might work. I have a room in F & B 'cord' which is very easy to live with and would work. As for furniture.... I think you can go modern for an eclectic look but just be careful of the colours so you don't get a horrible clash....See More1930s fireplace.
Comments (12)Thank you. that is a cool idea, i like the idea of broze . I was also thinking maybe darkening the wood, I think it's a bit too red. you're right though. it is in such good condition, the tiles especially, would be a shame to dismiss it right away and rip it out....See MoreReconfiguring the 30s bungalow chalet
Comments (8)Personally I think you set a budget and ensure that the house is worth spending that money on. Then consider the all the pretty jobs such as kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, landscaping etc and the cost of the essential jobs such as requiring or new boiler or new windows. When you know how much you have left you can better understand how ambitions your renovation extension plans will be- it might be that you conclude that your budget suggests just knocking a couple of rooms together to improve flow and the feeling of space- if that is the case then choose a Designer/ Concept planner to help creatively then find a good general builder with a contact with a structural engineer who can satisfy building regs. Alternatively you might decide your plans are ambitious and decide to extend. If that is the case your budget will indicate what sort of extra footprint is possible and you then need creative input which can come from a designer/concept planner or architect. You need to run plans past a builder to check ballpark figures meet your budget then you can make firm decisions about what professionals are needed to make it happen....See Morerusheslake
