Hi there! A grey and white colour scheme sounds quite Scandinavian to me. These stories are great for inspiration: [A Dated 1960s End-of-terrace Gets a Scandi Makeover[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/houzz-tour-a-dated-1960s-end-of-terrace-gets-a-scandi-makeover-stsetivw-vs~77233568) and, a specifically living room related one: [How to Cook Up an Authentic Scandi-Style Living Room[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/how-to-cook-up-an-authentic-scandi-style-living-room-stsetivw-vs~74540916) Do you know what is under the carpet? If there are floorboards, you could paint those white (or leave them in their natural colour) to achieve the kind of pared back look in the photo you've attached.

Great poll. I like exotic hardwoods like American oak and walnut but I agree with the other comments, that it depends on the surroundings of the dining table, and what other furniture is in the room. I'd be interested to find out what your own preference is, as you're the expert!

The floor person does have a point I guess, in old houses the walls are never straight due to movement and in the new extension the walls might not be straight due to the person doing the dot and dab not making the walls straight despite the actual brick walls being straight! Look forward to seeing the end result, it’s a lovely huge space!

What irritates me and causes me to just skim through most stories, is the fact they always seem to focus on houses/apartments/gardens that are either ridiculously expensive, impractical for daily life, huge, highly "designed" and staged or simply reflecting the style/colour/trend du jour and rarely reflect the types of houses the majority of us live in or within our budgets. Not everyone wants to be on the cutting edge all the time. Inspiration is good, but reality every now and then is better. It's no use perpetually showing images of massive NY loft apartment'esque open plan spaces, when many of us live in relatively modest semis or bungalows. Or depicting spacious, open plan overly staged living kitchens, typically in navy blue or a range of greys, with the ubiquitous three pendants over an island the size of a small country. With Crittal bi-fold doors, giving panoramic views over stately gardens as far as the eye can see. With space for a refectory table to seat 20, acres of storage and a whole suite of nubuck (or latterly teal/mustard velvet) sofa and comfy chairs, with giant art pieces and space for a couple of large dogs on the pristine limestone floor, which runs seamlessly out onto a highly staged patio. When real life means a lot of people can barely squeeze an average size table in their kitchen/diner or have to compromise on storage to fit a dishwasher in. The same could be said about the gardens, I'm very interested in gardens, particularly planting schemes and the more natural side of a garden, so consequently I'm sick of literally seeing the same cookie cutter, urban style paving and patios, uninspiring meagre planting and statement plants in pots over and over again. I think there needs to be a balance of aspirational inspiration and real life reality, that appreciates that folks maybe on a limited budget, aren't that creative or don't want to be the epitome of trend or fashion and just want the best home for them (without feeling like they're just not trendy/cool/out of step), so they too can take something away from the stories/editorials. Consequently, I rarely go to that part of that website because I am nearly always disappointed.
