What's the view like from where the dog is laying? I'd pull the 2 single blue chairs into the space in front of the doors maybe..... need to open the sitting space out a bit more. Move the 'floating' rugs. Are you hoping just to rearrange or add more?

you obviously have another sitting area. What do you use this space for? What are your hopes to use it for?

Not as fun as the swing (what a fab idea!) but maybe try to make it a sort of lobby/arrival space. So you could have a small console table with a narrow lamp, or set of shelves to the left of the hall door, this can be a place to drop mail and papers and stop it accumulating in the kitchen? and then perhaps a mirror between the two doors would be nice. PS lovely worktop - is it real marble?

Hi. Personally I'd put a slatted room divider (just the unit width) at the end of the sink run to allow light and zone the kitchen area slightly. (I will try and find a picture showing the same in a similar kitchen). Assuming the fridge isn't staying, I'd just buy a white one so it blends in, maybe like a retro style one as they look a bit prettier. I'd also opt for a round table. You could paint the wall (and rad) behind the table a darker/warmer colour and add art. Hang the light low over the table to zone it and maybe have a mirror or mirror tiles on the left wall. You could also consider acrylic chairs as they don't visually fill the space. I'd go for a wider curtain pole to maximise light coming in. Sofa, choose something on legs with narrow arms, being able to see the floor will make the room bigger and maximise seating. I also wouldn't choose anything dark as it could take over the room, just use dark/warm colours for cushions and throw if wanted. There are plug in wall lights around which won't take up any floor space. I don't know if you need storage but you should be able to fit a sideboard between the dining and living area? Re shopping suggestions, you don't have any ideabooks set up so could you give people an idea of styles and colours you like?

Damn! That entire extension looks terrible. In an ideal world you'd knock the whole extension down back to the original house and start again from scratch. Barring that and keeping in mind your idea to maybe extend on the first floor in the future I'd say you need to future proof the replacement to accommodate a first floor but also to look fine without one. You could try to match the replacement to the remaining extension so it looks like just one extension rather then one on another, you could render the extension as the brickwork really doesn't go with the original brickwork. I also think it would look much better if the roof on the two story extension could be changed to a pitched roof and tied in as it really looks like a bolt on. Either that or put a gable on it to make it a feature or extend it up to the top of the other roof. Is it just the external facade you want help with?

Thanks Jonathan, I can see how well this design works, however it takes away the garage which we need and we want to try to avoid knocking around the shower room and utility as we want to do as little work (and spend as little of our budget) as possible. We’re trying to see if we can get a decent kitchen/dining are just from the kitchen/living area when it is knocked through.

They are not staying there. We have just moved in hence no wall art or styling.
The doors look out onto the patio.
