Hi,
We just moved to a new house, I would like some advice for the livingroom and entrance, I am thinking of adding round table in the center of the entrance,
But don't know where to put the 2 armchair, I changed the printed material on the chairs
In the left side of the living room I will put the dining room
What do you think?

9 years agoHi. I think the mink velvet chairs would look great in the hall in a similar layout to the pic attached from juliettes interiors. The script chairs are encroaching on the door so don't quite work in my mind. I would have gingers jars, plants etc either side of the hall door on tables. It looks as if both the living space and hall extends further so homes could be found for the other chairs? It's difficult without seeing the full space. Great chairs and space though.

Comments (6)I'm a bit confused as to how many people live here - bedrooms suggest 6 - dining table suggests 8 - but soft seating only has room for 5 ?!? Anyway that's not answering your question - for simple electric update, a chat on site with your electrician and a copy of the plan you have should suffice. Think about where you want lamps and sockets for vacuuming and charging phones in addition to permanently plugged in appliances etc . It's not difficult - just be logical ! If your designer has priced up your project to include detailing the spec for builders you should let her. If not, and you want to go down the route of using the common sense of builders to build the walls in the right place and kitchen and bathroom company being able to draw plans and work with the builders, most are more than capable of doing so. You may even find one company who can provide kitchens, bathrooms and the build team to do the whole project ! You have done the structural thing - so sounds like you have the important parts covered. Comments made by some people about your designer being inexperienced sound possibly a bit harsh !? The shower door could be bi fold to avoid door clash. One last thing - a laundry room with shelving above appliances - opening with double doors into the hall space might work better for laundry area for a family home rather than just one door and a stack of appliances at the end - although I know that means talking to the structural guys again ! But in the long run - this way would make more efficient use of the space IMO .... a bit like this http://houzz.com/photos/26461611...See More1920's Semi - Open plan design help
Comments (4)Thanks for clarifying - I suspected the velux windows would be in that back area, but always worth checking! Your 3D View also gives some useful info. To ask another question - are you restricted as to where residual sections of wall may still remain after you have opened out the space? Again I would be speculating on what was load bearing and where there may still be obvious structure left (e.g. hiding RSJs). Your 3D plan shows quite a large section of residual wall by the kitchen. There are so many options, it is difficult to know where to start. One option which may be worth considering is moving your kitchen to where the dining room currently is (if services allow) and bringing a breakfast bar across further back into what is currently the lounge. This might make nice use of the bay windows at a sink, and the hob could be positioned in the breakfast bar so you could chat with dining guests while cooking. It would also open up a larger footprint for the lounge (where the kitchen currently is). The fireplaces sound like another challenge - it would be interesting to know just how close they are and what profile the wall is around chimney breasts etc. Where possibly, I would try to avoid removing chimney breasts (often a can of worms), but work with the existing wall profile - you can use shelves & fitted furniture to create straight clean lines, and a second fireplace "gap" could be used as a log store to avoid assymetry. Wrt doors - I think 3 next to each other is overkill in an open plan area like this, but might still keep 2 depending on where any remaining sections of wall are and how you lay out the area. With so many possibilities, I'd mock up a few on CAD and chat them through with family/friends or a friendly local designer to narrow it down. I'd also think carefully about what furniture you have or will get - sizes and shapes may point you towards a particular layout.
