Help convince my mum that LESS IS MORE!!

7 years ago

My mother loves collecting unique furniture and is the proud owner of many beautiful pieces from all over the world. In her free time, she also loves refurbishing antique furniture she sees potential in. While some of these pieces have been lovingly adopted by friends and family, quite a few of them have been squeezed into our own home and are increasingly making the place more cramped.

How do I convince her that her love for antique furniture has outgrown the space available at home? How can I persuade her that less really is more when she is so attached to many of these acquisitions? Please help!

Offer to help her sell or donate them? If it's her hobby could she turn it into a business instead so the peices don't stay long term? Although if she owns the house it's up to her really what she puts in it IMO

Many thanks for the comments. Re your interesting points :- -I would have a bigger bedroom since she is at the age where potentially she might have more time in bed due to failing health- consider if you can get a view from the bed of outside life ----------- We have cared after the elderley for many years so we are aware of bedroom size and yes there is a window from the bedroom with plenty of light. -Perhaps a wetroom with a seat in the shower area?------- yes we have thought of that -Probably more kitchen for her as she wants to bake....tell her I like carrot cake. What about a compact oven that is both a microwave and an oven to use less space? How about wall cabinets with self closing electric doors? pull out storage so she doesn't have to reach the back of cupboards, crockery in drawers for easy of access? How about an induction hob giving an additional flat surface to add to her work surface? Consider her height...you could have the legs of the kitchen cabinet lowered?-------- With old relatives sometimes it can be easier if there is less rather than more. I agree we are going to plan it so the oven is body height and all work surfaces are sensible -How about a separate front door with a hallway and a cupboard ------- Yes that is planned -partly to separate the WC from the living room, partly to add some much needed storage and partly to accommodate a washing machine cupboard so that she doesn't have to listen to it------ I agree, the plan above was ony an example. We are going to have the toilet/shower effectively as an ensuite -Does she need or want two sofas could the living area be smaller to allow room for something else?....she loves her lounge, TV and garden so we want to make this a nice large, light space as she will be spending most of her time there -Is there anything from her home that needs to be accommodated and planned for----of course we will plan as much as we can but what we dont want is her thinking it is anything other than a light,airy, warm inviting home..not a nursing home in waiting Regards

How can I make my kitchen design/layout more practical?

The design layout could do with changing if this is a two chef kitchen - as currently hob and sink share same floor standing space, the DW when open blocks the walkway - oven is danger to anyone opening door... The FF is not what you want - the list goes on !!! Difficult to help further with no sizes - I could guess from the doors - but no head on shot of the right wall so a bit tricky - this could be a 'very quick' job as a sketch consult on an hourly rate, if you want pro help - drop me an email ! If you were thinking of using ikea for example - you could buy and have installed the carcase's, drawers, worktop, sink and appliances and then add the facia fronts as and when you have spare cash - this would stretch your money a little further ... £4k is still a lot of money - invest it wisely !

Hi, I too love the colour railings, however, i'm ging to disagree with everyone as usual. I've done a mock up of the T.V mounted on the fireplace, but you'd have to build up the sides just to make the size of the T.V make sense. ( Why oh why do men want big T'V's????) I didn't like it. I would highly suggest that the T.V either sits on the other wall opposite the couch, or and i prefer this to anything else. Have a beautiful corner cabinet which then turns the T.V slightly towards the couch and encompasses both storage and all horrible wiring !

If this is a short term fix, I'd try to find a fabric to tie in those terracotta ties with the off white paint you're using elsewhere and just put a simple roman blind (it doesn't need to work) at the window. Something like this will tie in and has the grey of the floor. We moved last year and I'm sorting out building work - in the meantime I've added nice curtains and blinds and it's meant I don't mind living with it. And I think the open shelves alongside the window will make an enormous difference in taking the eye away from the tiles.

Thanks guys! A Catalog of the items would be a great idea, the garage is full of her projects and it's a shame they can't be displayed properly! I agree that she can do as she wishes as it is her own house... I'd just like to convince her that the furniture looks better when each piece is treated to an exclusive area within the house and that just because you can fit everything in, it doesn't mean you have to!
