Ideas required for new floor layout!
Comments (7)I also think the budget is tight. You're going to have to decide what you're going to use the dining room for, as although you need the space for a bigger kitchen, it's making the dining room somewhat redundant. I've given you many examples below. However, i believe that opening out the end of the hallway, putting the loo under the stairs, creating light from front to back and easy access to the kitchen, whilst also giving you a view front to back from the lounge is a much better design. You also make the lounge area 50% bigger by snatching back space from the somewhat redundant formal dining room. Opening out the whole house will make it feel and look much larger. The last two pics in the set are what i consider to be the best use of space and most logical layout. My strict advice, as it was to my daughter, when she wanted to do the same, or anyone else for that matter. Don't waste money if it isn't going to be near to perfect, wait, save and then do it!...See MoreRecessed Lights Help
Comments (6)Thanks P&P, thanks E D, that's really useful. I'm moving away from recessed lights tbh because although I've seen it done well in living rooms (on Houzz, Pinterest etc) I'm not entirely confident of getting it right myself without having lived at the property. We like the idea of wall lights but I'm concerned that the very spot we choose to put them will turn out to be the exact place we want to hang a picture. We are having downlights in the bedroom as we are having pendants either side of the bed (as well as a main pendant) and thought that it would be useful to have a focused light above purely for reading. Electrician is due to start next week, must make a decision...See MoreUtility Room Layout Suggestions Please
Comments (8)What else do you want to use the utility room for? Do you need the amount of worktop you’ve shown in your plan? I would suggest stacking drier on top of the washing machine and have them in the alcove to the right of the doorway. I realise that may well be a window, but how much light do you need in a utility room? (I speak as one whose utility room has no windows!) And if you’d need to vent the drier a window could be handy.

Comments (8)Way too many. We have similar size room and have only 8 recessed lights - 5 on the long galley to light worktop and into tall units (with additional undercabinet lighting for the worktop around hob) and 3 above 3.2x1.2 island (instead of pendants). In previous kitchen we had a long hanging striplight above island and that worked really well but chose just the recessed spots here and it works great. I personally don't like pendants above island and dining table, it's too much for my liking. We also have wall lights around corner windowseat and a picture light above a nice piece of art so there is background lighting for evening. And also have a lamp on worktop as well as a couple of rechargable lamps for additional evening glow on the island when required (which is never at the moment as it's so light so late). If you are keeping the pendants above island dining table, then be careful about what fixtures you choose. Are they for general lighting or is it going to focus the light downwards onto the surface? If it's more of a decorative light giving out gentle light in all directions then you probably do want a couple of mini recess spots which point directly onto the surface to provide task lighting. All on a dimmer so you can vary it....See More

11 years ago- 11 years agoAfter completion of the Ground Floor I am now opting for 02 Tubular Skylights in the Living Room of First Floor. Please guide me / give your valuable suggestions for placement of these. The orange periphery on the staircase represents a room on the 2nd Floor with a door opening to the South. Also suggest if I would be needing down / recessed lights in front of the stairs landing. Blue triangles represent Ceiling Fans and Orange star represents a Chandelier.
