Carpet or keep the wood floor?
Comments (10)This is a modern looking house so a carpet wouldn't be out of place but I do hate the idea of covering up and stapling into lovely wooden floors which likely add value to your home. As far as children playing are concerned carpets are actually high maintenance compared to wood. Personally whilst you say you don't like rugs I'd be inclined to get a very large plain area rug (I'm talking maybe a 10cm gap between wall and edge of rug all round) in the living room space and leave the dining room. It doesn't have to be overtly 'rug-like' ie patterns, high pile, colours etc. instead consider going to a carpet shop, choosing a good quality one you like and getting them to hem it as a rug (a service many shops can offer). This way you get a custom sized, durable and relatively cheap solution which gives you the best of both worlds....See MoreDecorating home office/study
Comments (16)Just a quick update to report back! I decided against colours and left the whole room white. I still haven't quite decided what to do with the wall in front of my desk (that was originally planned for painting) but I'm thinking some cork boards for notes or some storage for paperwork. I've attached a photo of the room so far. Thank you all for your contributions!...See Morehome study - help
Comments (12)Hi Cazzajo, great space for a home office! Considering the size of the room you might want to focus on picking furniture that is not only functional and beautiful - but also makes the best use of the available space. Have a look at our Hub Table - you can adjust its size to perfectly fit your room and choose a finish which will match its overall style. It will look great by the window! Its modern and simple design will not overwhelm the room - but will definitely add some character. And you can visualise it in the space before making a purchase with the use of our app! (On the photo: Hub Table Straight Tapers. Also - isn't it a great colour pallet for a home study?) You might also want to pair it with our Ivy. How about a customised bookshelf on the left wall? You can decide on how long / tall / wide you want your shelf to be - and how much storage you need. Ivy is a great piece of office furniture! Let us know if you have any questions - would be happy to help!...See MoreCarpets or wood flooring?
Comments (11)I would say if it's all wood throughout this will give a more cohesive flow through the ground floor and make it feel more spacious.....however, I had wooden floor in the living room of my previous home and it did feel cold. It would need a deep pile rug to warm it up. I opted for carpet in my new home for this very reason. It's much cosier. It's all a matter of personal preference and you need to consider how the living room is utilised, if it's just an evening room it's easy to keep the carpet clean....See MoreAkiva Projects Ltd
