New open plan space - ideas for the snug/lounge space?
Comments (6)I think your snug will always seem a little dark as the room has been elongated with the extension. I think the best you could do is pop a mirror in the snug, the biggest you can afford to see if that makes a difference. A lighter coloured rug possibly? It's a great space though and I like the wallpaper :) It would be a shame to lose the original door but could you change it for one with glass panels in to let light in from the hall?...See MoreClic clac sofa bed in open space

Comments (10)Here's my take on the whole thing - lots of moving about, changing of crazy opening outward doors and random wardrobes. I've managed to avoid dismantling the Chimney breast, which would be a horrid job. Lose a bedroom to gain better bathroom and separate shower room. Change the dining room to a study and walk in closet for coats, shoes etc. Better layout of kitchen and dining area. As you see, I took out the window allowing for a shower room, thus, if you wanted to, you could eventually extend the dining area to the right - I did have to re-site the boiler, so if you do extend, make sure you still have room to vent....See MoreBefore & After: A cramped kitchen re-modeled to an inviting open space
Comments (6)Hi everyone. We are sorry that you feel this way, so we have attached a few images below to demonstrate the entire kitchen before the makeover. We tend to use 1 - 2 images maximum for this type of post and we can see that this has limited the ability for full clarity on the kitchen before. We hope this helps and thank you for engaging with us!...See Moreminnie101

8 years agoI think adding some black to a neutral scheme works well. They have black furniture in a couple of your pics. A beige sofa will work with grey curtains and maybe something like this for blinds? Image from decorology

8 years agoThanks will now look for alternatives as i dont think the bhs one can be adjusted that much Mrs mcee like the one in the pic but think it might be to small for the area but i ll check the website out for bigger ones thanks. Will be looking for the blinds and poles this weekend and minnie in the pic your posted of the grey curtains i love the way they make use of the windows with the curtains whilst maximising the light with the white blinds what to create something similiar with four panels of curtains but dont think i can do it with the wall i have on the right side of the window and only my left window is at an angle the builder has left a space so i can have hidden tracks/poles which is great any ideas suggestions

8 years agoKatie, my sister has Fired Earth Bone White in her living room, it's lovely and I think it would be good for your room, worth getting a tester. See pic (not my sister's house).

8 years agoAnother one which would be worth a try is Little Greene French Grey Pale. They are lovely paints. Sorry I have no experience with Benjamin Moore to offer but I know that Pewter is one of their best sellers - so must be nice!
