@minipie I could put the fridge freezer on the main run of the kitchen, but that would then reduce the work surface on that wall - and the work surface is sure to be small as it is. If I turn the island 90 degrees to be parallel to dining table then it would mean that neither the hob/oven/fridge/sink would be behind me. I would have to walk from the island across to the main run for everything...... not sure how practical that could be. And if I did do that then, I would have a nice view while working at the island but anyone sitting on stools would be looking at the staircase, which wouldnt be right. @Heather - the space is already 5 x 6 m almost - I dont think we need to add an extension. That should be enough space for a decent kitchen with dining table. I dont need any extra living space either as we do have 2 large lounges. Keep the suggestions coming, thanks!

You can go to a carpet store, pick out a carpet and have it made into a rug with bound edges. Also, in some carpet stores/furniture stores you can order a rug in a specific size. Worth looking around for that.

On Aliexpress the diameter given is of the overall diameter, here is a deep tone chime set on their site; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33inch-Hanging-Wind-Chime-Large-Deep-Tone-Resonant-Wind-Chimes-Church-Bell-Outdoor-Garden-Yard-Home/32975926622.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.29.4c3c26462ghPcr&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_10_10065_10068_10547_319_10891_317_10548_10696_10084_453_454_10083_10618_10307_10820_10821_10301_10303_537_536_10902_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_6,ppcSwitch_0amp;algo_expid=e37168ed-1610-4a32-ab42-8738116496b1-4&algo_pvid=e37168ed-1610-4a32-ab42-8738116496b1 Excuse the huge link.

Miriam Do you actually mean columns as in structural elements or do you mean decorative pilasters? The size of a column is dependant on the load it is carrying and if these are load bearing elements. I would consult an architect and an engineer. There are standard sizes but the choice is driven by the structural requirements. If they are pilasters. Then a starting point would be to talk to suppliers of the plaster replica's https://www.lassco.co.uk/a-pair-of-english-cast-plaster-pilasters or others. They should be able to give you some guidance on the choice and size modules. Hope this helps Best David
