Hello Ann, Sounds like an exciting project! What about approaching the layout the other way around.. If you had for example a double or 3 seater sofa roughly where the 2 green chairs are... Then situate the 2 chairs opposite this...Keeping all windows free... This opens up the area nicely and does not create a cave effect.. If you decorate seamlessly, again you should not really notice the differing heights... Have a large pendant over the dining table and another along same plane roughly where the living room area starts.. ie in front of the current green chairs.. Have a console table behind the suggested sofa placement which ends no further forward that current chair placement.. Vase of flowers or something.. Then you can walk round this into the room.. chairs and coffee table can angle round and low lamps and a floor lamp would be good to illuminate this portion where the ceiling is lower.. Perhaps consider the tv on the other corner away from the fireplace.. It could sit on a nice cabinet in the corner between the window /sliding door.. : ))

Hi Laurenandjames. I love your kitchen / diner. I am in the process of having an extension and I have Howdens Tewkesbury Stone kitchen and Ice White Quartz worktops ready to be fitted. Is the wallpaper from B&Q? Also what colour paint did you go for on the rest of the walls? I was a bit worried about the stone colour as in some lights it looks brown and not the grey I was after. Thanks in advance.

Red Cedar cladding - Vertical or Horizontal???
Q

Very marginal for me. I think I'd go with vertical as I find the horizontal boards under the overhang a bit busy, it also goes with the doors and windows but contrasts with the stone. I do however like the horizontal lines next to the door as the door doesn't stand out quite so much to me with the vertical planks :)

Decking choice - what compliments indoor wooden flooring

Unless you are going for hardwood decking, I wouldn’t have it. It is slippery when wet and softwood decking starts to rot after a few years. Mine is 8 years old and starting to rot in one corner. I was considering composite decking until I found several bad reviews of it, mainly in the US. It tends to show wear and flaking within 10 years and it warps. In fact Trex is being sued by many customers in the US as the product is not maintenance free and does not last 25 years. Have a read on www.thecraftsmanblog.com. However, outdoor grade porcelain seems a better bet? It comes in wood effect or tile and is non slip. It has a very modern feel if that is the look you’re after. Worth a look?
