I have a similar looking lounger and I am trying to purchase a rug . I really like the rug in your lounge can you advise me where it is from please ? I would also be interested to know where the light is from in the room with the fire . The house is beautiful. Great job.

Thanks so much for your comments OnePlan. I love what you said about putting lights outside. I want to do the windows now just for that - could look so cosy! Thanks for the reassurance with the doors. I think we will go with this. Hmmm I'm not sure a barn door is quite what I want here. I'm not bothered about access to the kitchen from the lounge, it's more for light purposes, but it's a valid point about interruption to walkway, one that I had considered. I wonder if interior bifolds or something like that might work, although there would still be the view into the kitchen problem. it isn't important for tv in here - we do have another snug, so this would be more social/entertaining space. There will be a lot of light already from big windows on 3 walls. Would the skylights make it hotter in here? The lounge currently is where the kitchen will be and it is a very sunny room, which does get rather warm on a sunny day.

You can add skylights to the sloped roof sections on each side without taking down the entire ceiling. You will need your builders to create a deep plasterboarded reveal (like a tapered tunnel) leading from each skylight to the ceiling. Like this This is likely to be a lot cheaper and easier than removing the entire ceiling - plus there are almost certainly structural roof supports running across above the ceiling that will be exposed if you remove the ceiling. I would also definitely get your husband to reconsider the outdoor covered structure if you can as it’s not helping! What does he love about it? Perhaps there is something less light obstructing it could be replaced with? An awning or a shade sail that comes down in the winter?

Firstly, you have got a lovely sized room which looks like it can be quite bright. I can see what you mean, having the two doorways makes placing furniture difficult. I would try putting the 3 seater & the 2 seater next to each other in front of the main window (as long as they didn’t block out too much light from the main window, you do risk sun fading and possibly damaging the leather sofas by the sunlight though so maybe a coloured throw draped over them would be good with bright pastel coloured cushions) and put the armchair in place of the 2 seater with the TV where the 3 seater is now. You’ll have greater access to the doors and your room should feel more spacious. Paint wise the colour Egyptian Cotton by dulux would really lift the oak colour doors and tone really well with your carpet, it is a greige with slight green tone but very restful, you can then accent this with bright pastel coloured accessories. I hope that helps a little.
