Comments (12)Hi, no probs. The thing is with upstairs you are governed by the stairs and the drainage. You can't move either without great expense. To gain more room, better bathroom etc, you would have to sacrifice a bedroom on the right of the plan. Is this an option? The simplest solution is just change the bathroom / toilet and add a shower:- If you need further changes for whatever reason, after all 1 bathroom for four bedrooms isn't a lot, then all I can think of is to split the master in to 2 rooms as it has windows front and back. Then remove the bathroom and make it smaller, giving the bedroom top right a little more room. Make that the master with En-suite and use the bedroom bottom right as the family bathroom. The three smaller bedrooms are an ok size so, in theory could work....See MoreHelp needed! Layout dilemma for kitchen diner / space planning
Comments (16)I completely agree with OnePlan. Take your time. Don't settle for less (unless your budget really doesn't allow..). I sell and design kitchens and my boss pays me per hour, not commission. And everyone gets the same lowest possible price. People can come back time and time again, until their kitchen fits their needs perfectly. I hear plenty of stories on people being pushed into a signature or lured in with discounts. Or salesmen without any technical insight/background. Or designers not really listening to someone's needs/wants. It saddens me. A kitchen is not a car you can trade in after a year or so. Always look for something you can live with for 10 years plus (and longer). Your workspace would ideally be 80cm (minimum), that means the area inbetween sink and hob. Every other bit of surface can be used to place other items, make a drink, etc. When you regularly work with two people you could downsize the tall cabinet left of the ovens to a 30cm pullout larder, so a 90cm drawer cabinet could go next to it (for example)....See MoreVery long room.... kitchen/diner layout..help needed!
Comments (9)plenty of room i'd say! i'd stick it in the bottom end behind a wall of tall units for the kitchen (fridge, freezer, oven tower, pantry) and then have base units only along the wall facing bay window (to keep it bright and airy and maximise the width of the room as much as possible). then the bay window could be a lovely built-in seated area for table, or there's space for an island and then the bay window becomes circulation space. the top end looks like glass all the way round? so assuming dining table would go there - but if you did the window seat and table then that could be seating area instead....See More

7 years agoHello Louise,
There's several ways you can add to existing arrangements with either choosing a wall or a section to paint a green colour.. Or add colour and wall coverings. Some fantastic green papers around. Complimenting an idea in one space by the introduction of something similar but not exact, is my preferred way of providing continuity.. You reference rather than copy.. Consider things like a tiled panel or splash back in fantastic green tiles.. Green blinds or a linen colour with green border.
Perhaps you could introduce soft furnishings and yes green plant material is always good.. It doesn't need to be flowers it could be large leaves in fabulous ceramic ware.. Consider art too like canvases.. If you didn't want to paint any walls or add wallpaper, large oversized canvases or an arrangement of smaller one's in the colour you desire can give you the colour and texture without a complete transformation.. Here's some leafy inspiration for the walls... :))
This one is a personal favourite...
This one too... I love it!

7 years agoThanks to everyone for your comments, they have been really helpful! I have attached a drawing, not drawn totally to scale unfortunately, the dining room is a lot bigger. I have detailed where I would like to add the green paint, Should I add this anywhere in the kitchen?
I also have a green/multi colored rug with large sections of orange and would like to introduce orange accents... The main issue I am having is choosing appropriate blinds curtains. As you can see there are doors in the dining area and a window in the kitchen, how do I keep these areas in sync?
Thanks again!
Louise
