Living room layout - would love some advice
Comments (7)So since I posted about 6 weeks ago we now have a lovely wooden floor, fire has been removed and left chimney breast with cables available so we can mount the TV. Have our old sofas sat side by side under the window but still not sure how to plan it all out. Hopefully once painted and we start visiting some furniture shops the rest will just fall into place :) thanks all for comments, would welcome any ideas...See MoreSome of our bathrooms ...We do love them! Would love your opinions
Comments (7)Hi . Actually the company we used to get them from, do not sell them anymore but you can even go online and buy For example https://www.wayfair.co.uk/diy/sb0/bathroom-sinks-c1797240.html?sku=TKA1443&refid=GX104581750958-TKA1443_7123982&piid[0]=7123982 Don't forget the waste too!!...See MoreUtility/Kitchen design feedback
Comments (23)@arc3d I dug out the very first design we had drawn up for the ground floor and interestingly the kitchen space isn't too dissimilar from your proposal, with some adjustment to door placement. It would be very nice to have enough room to clearly separate seating from dining furniture and I'm not sure it's possible in the current plans without doing as you suggest. Referring to our existing plans, my thinking was to move bench seating with dining table (extendable 6-8 person) to the party wall and seating to bay window area as @rinked suggested. Hopefully that would free up space for a small 2-seater sofa facing windows and couple of chairs with a side/coffee table. Note, the reason we introduced a double step-in to the external wall was because although not captured in the plans, the passageway tapers towards the house and we want to maintain a 700mm to run bicycles and wheelie bins to the rear. I think a side window in the kitchen wall was omitted because it faces our neighbours brick wall; maybe we could add one retrospectively at head height to the planning application, to reflect the side window in the extension: @rosemonde Below are the submitted plans for the other floors and external elevations for comparison to your house (- ignore the stair direction on 1st floor; this will be flipped but there's a separate application for the loft under PD so the plan here shows the current stairs). I should also add that we plan to change the walk-in wardrobe in 2nd floor plans so that the entrance is opposite the en-suit, with drawers along length of eaves and wardrobes along length of partition; we feel this will give us more bed placement options (e.g. facing the rear window) and make the walk-in section less cluttered. Our current layout is awful (we recently purchased the house knowing we'd do this work); the kitchen is where utility is planned, there's a horrible lean-to conservatory where extension is planned and a similarly nasty lean-to utility to the side, the current bathroom is oddly split into a bath and separate shower room (with two adjacent toilets split by the partition) and loft space is a bedroom with non-reg stairs, floor joists and ropey dormer window. We're making the study 2m wide as well to make it a more practical size (it's currently 1.4m) and potentially use it as an overspill 5th single bedroom if necessary: Hope this helps you with your own plans and feel free to PM me if you want further info :-)...See MoreCould I have some feedback on our house listing please?
Comments (18)I think you could try the TV where you've suggested but I wonder if you've ever had your living room and dining room swapped over? I know some people don't like entering straight into the living room but it does seem a little larger from the floor plan and you could create a hallway effect by having a console table/shelf, mirror/ coat stand etc by the doorway (maybe items you already have or can pick up on FB marketplace very cheaply) . It would then mean your dining space is more connected to the kitchen. Although it looks like you currently use the space as a home office as, well, sometimes it can appear like a large hallway/corridor rather than reception room in its own right as you use it to walk through to the rest of the house. If you have trouble visualising your outside space as a nice seating area some buyers will too. I've attached some photos for inspiration. Some are obviously staged and they must have to put a lot of thecstuff away at night but you get the idea of how seating, soft furnishings and greenery can make the space much more attractive. Some of hard landscaping on these pictures aren't very nice but they eye is detracted from them with the other stuff going on.
