Feature Walls - Yes or No?
Comments (2)I have one in my parent's house - though it is just wallpaper - I love the idea of traditional panelling as it something that really changes the character of a room!...See MoreNorth facing garden - yes or no?
Comments (22)My advice....avoid a North facing back garden if you can. you can change most things about a house except its aspect. i lived in a house with nth facing back garden and poor enough front sun too becasue of neighbouring house and it was depressing to live in, cold in the summer when everywhere else was bathed in sunshine. Clever architectural design can ometimes put in velux windows and large picture windows to the front to capture the sun, but in reality we all live in the rear of our houses most of the time. On a practical level, do you really want to have to walk to the rear of your garden to enjoy your patio, when closer to the house would be more sheltered? Do you want clothes to dry on the line all year round (clothes lines usually near the house), do you want your car baked in sunshine in the summer sitting in your front drive? you didnt say where you live, but i live in a country where the weather is very mxed and we value every ray of sunshine we get. as we cant sit out all year round, nor anything like it, we need the sunshine to come into our living space as much as possible. hope this helps?

Comments (12)I don't feel this room really fits a peninsula but obviously you'd like to sit with a view so putting sitting facing the window is a perfect solution. The sink doesn't need to be in front of the window as you hardly spend any time washing up these days, especially with a dishwasher. Move this to the left and continue the top over with leg space (perhaps 300 deep units for a sneaky bit of storage). Alternatively, could you have one door to the garden and do Carolina's idea over the other door? good luck Emily...See More- PRO

7 years agoLiving walls are very useful for adding interest to small spaces, they create year round coverage and increase the planting area, as can be seen in this image of a living wall in a recent project.
