Room Tetris! What would you do?
Comments (4)Hi Sarah! It's definitely a decent sized house with plenty of space to play with. It looks like it may originally have been a smaller 3-bed semi that's had a wrap around extension built. Sadly it's quite typical to see this done not so well. But it can definitely be improved. The upstairs can be altered by adding in circulation or moving the stairs, depending on how many and what size bedrooms and other rooms you want to have. Essentially it looks like the large dressing room acts as an upstairs hall space for circulation really. My recommendation if you are to buy it is to live in it for a few months, ideal 6-12 months, before starting your redesign. This will really help you to identify all the things you want to change about it and help you get it right for you.

Comments (2)Hello Nathan - Thats a lovely bathroom with lots of potential and I am sure you will be able to transform it into something amazing! I suggest painting the vanity unit a dark color - it will help ground the unit and add structure to the room. I think may be a dark blue or a green would look nice. You can also update the handles to match the chrome fittings in the bathroom. With regards to painting the wall - I suggest you paint the wall a light colour like white (unless you want something more colorful) and add in a big mirror on the wall. As big as you can get with the mirror so it frames the vanity unit. I also suggest painting the ceiling and the wall the same colour - it will blur the slanting walls and you will not notice them! I suggest adding some open shelving (wood) on the wall behind the loo to soften the overall look and add in some warmth. You can use this for storage as well as some styling like baskets and plants. And if you can add in some wall art! Here is an inspiration image! Hope this helps!...See MoreWhat would you do to the front?

Comments (8)You could paint it slightly darker than the current colour and use it for display purposes assuming you don't have clumsy pets who might like to lie there. As the shelf is plasterboard you could consider laying a wooden shelf on top of it to match your stair railings. I think I would be more inclined to have some art balanced there as Sarah suggests....See MoreSeysonn_ 8a-NC/HZ-7
