Currently the kitchen, but that's because apart from one spare bedroom with a mattress in, it's the only functional room in the house! So it currently serves as kitchen, dining, sitting, and office. But I love our living room, and will be spending a lot more time there once it is furnished with more than ladders and paint pots.

@embzop, I would keep the guest bedroom as plain and neutral as possible. And keep it decluttered to keep it inviting. @Tom Flannagan, I think bathrooms are just that one space in the house that is not attached to any other room style wise. When I walk into my future bathroom I want to be swept away from this world into another one of luxury and serenity! I don't care about styles and 'what should fit the house', the bathroom is my space and I will do with it what I like :) @milicaopica, I think there are great options when you have a 5m high ceiling! When you put in another 'floor' you can have extra storage, a hide away, extra sleeping space, perhaps a slide? The possibilities are almost limitless! @k11agl, I get your point. Possibly you could build a wardrobe against one of the sloping walls. But that of course depends on how much ground space the room will have left over and what you want to use the room for. I've got sort of the same problem next to my dormer windows, but I also have radiators up against two of the vertical walls. No wardrobe here :(. I think hallways are tricky too. They need to be functional yet inviting. Fortunately I have two; one tiled and the other one is going to have a parquet floor. So the first one will be the 'mudroom' where the kids can dump their stuff and coats and it will be made to be easily cleaned. The second, bigger one will be the 'nice' hall, with fancy wallpaper and nice furniture (telephone seat). Thinking about it I realise how lucky I am to be able to have two hallways with different functions ;)

Hello Tom, I saw RED! ;) ) It's because there's a heavy emphasis on warm colours... Najeebah is spot on! The eye takes in the whole but then focuses on the most dominant colour.... (unless one is colour blind) In this case it's red followed by orange of the leathers and yellows... : ))

Like most people I've got a drawer full of tools but there are a few that are essential to me: a slotted spoon, wooden spoon, ladle and a flat slotted turner. With these I can manage any meal. There are others that are useful but if any of these 4 is in the dishwasher dirty (yes, I know you're not supposed to put wooden spoons in there but I do anyway) then I start to panic a tiny bit
