Here is the sofa I have bought the room floor plan (the snug area is the bottom left area) the corner sofa will go in the bottom left corner with the long but along the left wall -facing the fire and the short bit against the bottom wall (as in the picture) I have also attached a photo of the wall paper against the sofa - but obviously it is no where near to scale!!! Oh also flooring will be oak herringbone parquet and a slate hearth for the stove ... Any Help and advice would be much appreciated - Thankyou!!

Love the steel door and kitchen! I also like black architraves and skirts but without knowing the style of the house etc it could just look very wrong! I would personally try and choose a black paint with as much depth as possible and as least shine. The kitchen pictured is in Little Green Lamp Black, I haven't seen this in person but I suspect it would be worth looking at

not sure the above made compete sense, I meant the breakfast bar will be lit by two pendant lights, but I need to light the rest of the kitchen. We have the rest of the room sorted, it's the worktop in the kitchen we are struggling with due to lack of wall cabinets. I already have the track light so would like to use it if possible... Thanks :-)

I'm probably overthinking things but I'm have a front door dilemma... The architects concept for the entrance to our new house is it to be dark, enclosed and protective so when the door opens it reveals a very light space with a full height corner window showing views over the garden to sea and mountains. I love this concept but there's something niggling me! The front door is planned to be Black Aluclad with vertical lines mimicking the cladding . I'm concerned that the vertical indented lines will just look false. We will use this door a lot, as will out big dog who like to try to open doors.. I'm worried if the Aluminium cladding will not stand up to claws, at least wood can be sanded down and repainted. Does anyone have an aluclad door, how does it stand up to wear? As I'm writing this I'm seeing that the problem is the type of door. There's a niggle saying I'd prefer it to be a wood clad door continuing the larch cladding but I'd have no idea where to start as the window company don't offer anything like this. Any ideas that may help clear my total indecision?
