Hello Kavi R,

I actually want to say I find the flooring really interesting if it's in good condition... You could bring it really up to date with how you treat the rest of the space.. It's not looking as fab as it could simply because the rest is rather dated.. However some things are so cool they should remain! Here's what I would do.. Remove all overhead cabinets and corner shelving. You could have plain style cabinets if you wanted top and bottom cabinetry but I would keep it to base units only possibly -

Having a sleek wood arrangement with hidden groove handles for example. A slatted blind would add texture for the window and some furniture which compliments the space...

Some beautiful orange accessories would compliment the flooring and you could offset the flooring with an interesting wall treatment.. I have doodled with a visual using your middle image, to show you and to illustrate how one thing can form the basis for an extremely stylish environment.. If the flooring is linoleum it's really in right now.. :))

Where to start?

Is the space a full time living accommodation? I really need a bit more information on what they will be used for, what you are looking for? Can you change the flooring?

Feel free to drop me a personal message. All the best, Gina

I think picking out the handrails and treads in a contrasting colour (and the rest in white) would look very elegant. Whilst our staircase was a dark stained, timber 70s stair case, we did this and painted the treads in Farrow and Ball's 'Railings' (floor paint) and although I say it myself, the result was great. I think the look of the picture posted above would be perfect. A very dark navy is slightly softer and more elegant than black or brown.

Something like this with a courtyard? I've put in a v small shower room and utility cupboard, but you could play about with exact layout depending on dimensions. I have assumed you didn't want a second bedroom, but I think a good architect could squeeze you one in if you extend back too- good luck!

Hello, I am in the process of renovating a Methodist Chapel, it is a blank canvas, but the window location and open area ( Square Hall on floor plan) limit room options. i have tried to include an en-suite on each bedroom as this is going to be an Airbnb, when it eventually gets completed. Any advice on layout options, welcomed👍🏻 Thanks, Ryan

the 1st two photos are two rooms with no separation. I intend to make it a multimedia room and a study room.

The room is very strongly coloured (orange flooring, cabinets and curtains), and I would look towards neutralising, or toning down, the colour of the space before doing anything else. I think changing the flooring would be a good start, and a worthwhile investment. It's quite a strong orange, and will dominate anything else in the room. If costs is a consideration, you can buy linoleum type flooring very reasonably, and laminate flooring is not overly expensive these days either. I would consider painting the kitchen cabinets in a pale colour, and then adding pops of a colour you like in the accessories.

Hi.

I understand regarding the budget. You can take the doors off and either look at replacing using second hand doors (eBay, gumtree and free cycle are good places to start). You can repaint (speak to B&Q) this is affordable.

For table, again, you can get get some great stuff on the sites mentioned above.

Replace all curtains Roth nice, clean functional blinds.

If you can do the carpet in the other room then yes, do that. Paint in a light inspiring colour for the study area and then move that colour through to the other space either with a darker tone or try a feature wall.

Use black out blinds here for the multimedia room.
All the best, Gina
