My 1930s semi-detached house renovation
Comments (22)It's not my cup of tea. Too beige for my liking. It could have been amazing, using all those incredible original features and picture rails. I hate TV's becoming the main focus of a room, putting it above the fireplace that had been removed is a real shame. A missed opportunity in my book, sadly....See More1930’s semi - best open plan layout for kitchen/diner or all open?
Comments (24)I’m struggling to find a way to have a kitchen/island (really would like an island to have useable counterspace), generous dining table (seating for at least 6 people) and a sitting area in the same room if we don’t open up the wall between the current front and back living rooms. Would it make more sense to have part of the garage incorporated into the kitchen? There is a slight difference in floor level though between the garage and kitchen (Step down into the garage). Or block up the current kitchen door and have the access to a dining/kitchen through the current back living room space and then somehow fit in a dining table and seating area?...See More1930's terraced house extension - help on layout needed
Comments (4)Looks great! Only issue you might have is removing the fireplace as it's an adjoing wall and you 'usually' share a chimney. If you have your own separate stack then it should be ok to put a lintel above and remove the bottom. Just thought I would mention that as we researched it ourselves ;o) Also - moving the kitchen - is your adjoining wall on the right? If so, then you might struggle to get all the waste etc out ie it would have to go under the floor to get back out to the drains. If that is the case then I would suggest blocking off the door from the hallway and keeping the entrance into the rear reception room and keeping the kitchen area where it is. But just re-modelling it. I would also suggest first, finding out where you can put support steels to remove walls as this will affect the room layout and you want to avoid having any posts floating in the middle of the room - if possible....See MoreStairs to loft conversion on a 1930's semi
Comments (11)Hi You would not need to get rid of the box room, our advice is to check if you would have 2m height clearance and if you do than no need to get rid of the box or open up the space and have it open. Usually prefered option is to keep the box room and have the stairs separate as long there is minimum 2 meters clearance in height from your first step upwards. This can be achieved with a smart design and stairs would not feel steep either. If the light is an issue why not fit a velux or skylight right above the new staircase? it will allow a lot of natural light in the hallway. To go an extra mile you could recess the loft landing by say 15cm too to make the first floor areas more open this will give an illusion of open and not compact space and finally if you are a fan of glass balustrade and how it can maximise compact or any space and allow more natural light have a look at the images. Hopefully we have provided you with some ideas. Wish you All the best from Nuhous.co.uk...See MoreFeature Radiators
