What floor plan would work in this bedroom?
Comments (23)I drew up to scale both rooms and actually like the larger room. I don't know how to show you the lay out. Thanks for the dimensions. (I had to convert to feet since I'm an Amazonian). Anyway First, draw it out on graphic paper instead of hauling the furniture around, it is so much easier. Normally putting the bed at an angle takes up so much more room that I often can't do it but in this case it works, in my opinion and looks great! So, as you enter room in area to your left there appears to be just enough room for your wardrobe. Then as you stand at the bottom of your bed put the right hand top corner just in about the middle of the window angling it towards the door. It won't be a ful on 45 degree angle, just enough to position your dressing table against the left wall. I put it about 21 inchs or 2 feet away from the wardrobe. Whatever works for your doors. This still gives you a little room to manuever , for making your bed, to the left of the bed when needed.. I would place the dresser across from the table a couple feet away from door opening. This is all tight, granted but looks interesting and spacy to me, at least on paper. The bed corner in the middle of the window gives a sense of planning and simetry. You actually could do the whole wall in a sheer but also could just dress the window maybe in an up down interesting shade, bamboo or something textural and if you want a soft swag at the top in a great fabric to pull some color up to draw your eye. You could place a tree, (ficus, maybe), or something architectural or sculptural, tall behind the headboard. Use your vertical spaces, anything to draw your eye up. Put a tall mirror at your dressing table. You really even have room with this arrangement to have a pretty good sized round table on the right side of your bed and even a tall, 12 inch deep by 2 or 3 feet wide bookcase a foot or so away from the window wall on the right side of your room. If you do things to draw your eye up, the room will feel more spacious instead of focusing on the furniture area. I'm loving it. wish I could fly across the pond and help you! good luck!...See MoreDo you flip your mattress?
Comments (19)Ordinarily, I flip mine ("flip" sounds so easy!) every three months without fail: end-to-end, side-to-side, end-to-end, side-to-side. Repeat, ad infinitum. It does extend the life of the mattress and help it wear more evenly. (Did I mention I once worked for a mattress company?) With new ones and plush "mattress toppers" built-in and memory foam layers on one side and not the other... You can't really flip it over. Both sides are not the same. In the UK our mattress is sort of foam-core / layer-filled. (I don't think it has springs. It's not like the US mattresses I'm used to.) The top is the top, and the bottom is the bottom, and one does not sleep on the bottom. Consequently, I flip it from side-to-side, but not over, every three months. (If I'm making sense here.) In the US we have a traditional coil-spring-with-layers-on-both-sides mattress: no memory foam, no combination "stuffing," no mattress topper. And I do the quarterly thing with it. ...and suddenly I feel like an old lady who grew up in the '50s and learned housekeeping from Mom and my aunts and my grandmothers.

Comments (8)As MATH says it is highly unlikely you would be able to save the existing stairs, and if you did the stringer, balustrade and dog leg are unfortunately all the wrong way round. Much easier to strip it all out and start again. Another place to look at for new stairs is stairbox https://www.houzz.co.uk/pro/stairbox/stairbox https://www.stairbox.com/ a previous client of ours has used a staircase from them and for the price it looked very nice....See MoreTotally Lost!! LVT flooring for open plan wet under floor heating room
Comments (5)Is does seem that the lesser known brands of LVT are the same thickness and same warranty as the major brands- the difference seems to be the colour choice and size of marketing budget. So as long as you like the colour choice with another brand then I think the cost saving is worth having. Separately the issue with herringbone over an expansive area is making the pattern meet up- generally a competent fitter will have no problems- I wonder if the issue is that you aren’t actually looking at LVT but instead floating floors (click together floors as opposed to stick down to the screed). Floating floors need to expand and over a large sized area can need an expansion strip adding which looks fine if you can add it to a doorway but looks odd in the middle of a large room....See MoreVy
