POLL: Would you ever let your partner design your home?
Comments (39)My husband trusts me and prefers I make all those decisions. That said I always ask his opinion on large pieces. If I left it all to him he would lose interest before finishing! Design is so not his thing. But then I'm not interested in documentaries on outer space or Lego.... Best we stick to our own interests I think! ;)...See MorePOLL: How many TVs do you have at home?
Comments (87)I install home automation equipment and lighting controls. I don't have a TV in the house : ) I do though, have a projector with a retractable screen. This has totally changed the way we watch TV. We only watch what we want to - which is mainly programs recorded via Youview or films. When the projector isn't on, the screen is out of sight in the ceiling and the room is setup for more social activities. Personally, I couldn't be without the radio. We have speakers in every room for this and music in general. Upstairs this is done with inceiling speakers so again, it is a discrete system....See MorePOLL: How do you store your clothes?
Comments (12)Jeg har købt et par arkivskabe fra den gamle Paludan tegnestue i Aarhus, som fungerer perfekt til tøj, håndklæder og sengelinned. Det fede er at arkivskabet er lavet i stål, således man sætte magneter på det. Jeg har bygge både iPad holder og en lampe, der sidder fast på arkivskabet med kraftige magneter. I have bought a couple of old file cabinets from a Danish design studio, which works perfect for my clothes, towels and bed linnen. The cool thing about the file cabinets is that it is made in steel and therefore magnetic. I have built an iPad holder and a lamp, which I have attached to my file cabinets with powerful magnets....See MoreYour dream home
Comments (4)My dream home would have an impressive entrance with a modest room nearby for coats, shoes, prams etc. I would want a small but grand living room for entertaining guests, with two sofas facing each other and a fireplace, this room would be near a wet bar and wine room. I would have a dining room with a large circular table for 8 and a butlers pantry next to it. The kitchen would be big and sociable and access the garden and include casual dining and room for everyone to watch TV comfortably. I would have two small rooms off the kitchen:- One would be a pantry with a freezer and an overflow fridge for parties. The other would be an appliance room and a slow cooker, stand mixer, bread maker etc could all be at hand but hidden from main view. There would be a side access to the house from the parking area and garage. The garage should be big enough to be able to park and get out comfortably. My preferred choice would be to not see the cars or garage doors from the front but equally I don’t like driveways that surround houses like a moat cutting them off from the garden. Near the house I would like a covered area so that outside furniture is protected from the elements and I would want features that make the outside space useable of an evening such as lighting, an outdoor fireplace and heaters. Upstairs it is important to me to have a hotel quality bedroom, lots of storage and although I like an ensuite it is important to me to not have the WC too close to my pillow or tooth brush. I think it is nice to have an upstairs area with a TV. An upstairs laundry room is practical and I think it is lovely to give guests their own bathroom. For me slight higher ceilings and tall windows lend grandeur to even very modern houses. I prefer visually interesting houses which can be achieved with symmetry, asymmetry, expensive materials or interesting features such as the roofline or windows. My perfect house would sit behind an electric gate. Please build all of this for me......See MoreStella Michael
