Hi OnePlan hope you're well! I think the table needs to be centred to the doors. In our current dining room we have a sideboard just under a meter behind the dining table and I find it a pain getting past to go to the utility. At least in the Plan A that wouldn't be a problem though. The table we have is extendable so can be 132 x 92, 165 x 92 or 198 x 92. If we had just one leaf in 165 x 92 do you think it looks odd against the big island? 132 x 92 looks ridiculous. LOL.

I need help with choosing my Ikea kitchen
Q

Hi, we purchased Lerhyttan light grey last year for the kitchen and absolutely love it! Just in case you want a paint colour that goes well with it too, I splashed out for Farrow & Ball 'Wevet'. It's very close to white but isn't. We have a white ceiling and you can easily see a difference in colour. It keeps the kitchen looking light. We have a wooden floor and a wooden worktop, plus put in a welsh slate windowsill and then some dark blue roller blinds. It all looks fantastic. One thing my partner did is make a 'pull out' cup ard from normal drawers and doors. It is fab, so much so that he's going to make me another as you can get right to the back of the cupboard. Why Ikea does not promote these hacks I do not know. To fit everything in, my partner also designed a breakfast bar that has the washing machine underneath it on one side (opposite the tumble dryer) and then on the other side of the island is the dishwasher. It's a great use of space as he's closed up a window that looked onto my waterbutts, fence and neighbour's extension and put in more storage for me.. We played with the Ikea planning app for maybe 1/2 a year before taking the plunge. You can really make it work it you just take the time to plan it properly. He wanted to warn you about the price of cover panels though - the large ones are £127 a pop - a huge price for just a bit of coloured wood, and you'll end up using them all over. For under the breakfast bar, he got some MDF and then glued on some floor tiles, cut through the door of the washing machine and saved us approx £220! (Came to £40 instead of £260). One thing that I cannot stress enough is that it's REALLY worth looking for returns in the 2nd hand bit. You can pick up doors at a completely bargain price so always go and have a look. Ours still isn't finished as we're doing it ourselves (so please excuse the floor protector), but it looks completely amazing already compared to what it was before! Our friends love it. Lights are from Ikea too. Go for Lerhyttan. Good luck!

Please help! Long, dark Edwardian terrace in need of new layout

Thanks for your plan @Wumi! With two of us working from home all day I don't think I could face moving the office or sitting room to the darkest part of the house. As the current utility room has a translucent roof at the moment, and a glass door to the dining room, removing it wouldn't really bring more light into the middle of the house, so I think whatever room(s) gets placed there needs to be something that isn't used for long periods of time or, perhaps, 'embraces the dark'. It's a relatively large space for a utility and toilet alone though. Any ideas for what other rooms could go in a relatively windowless space? I think my imagination has hit a wall! Thank you!

Recap-Conservatory-- solid/tile roof and Bifold doors

I'm sure of the conservatory roof but now confused about the window being converted into a door. I think I will give them a call Either way, do they still want us to seek written permission for any alterations? Excerpts from Calthorpe Estate Residents handbook Page 11 Freehold properties Under the Scheme of Management, Written consent is obtained from Calthorpe Estates before undertaking any alterations to their property, whether internal structural alterations, new extensions, or alterations to the external visual appearance. Excerpts from Calthorpe Estate Residents handbook Page 27 Extensions and alterations::: --all extensions and external alterations must be approved by the Scheme of Management. Generally, rear extensions are the least obtrusive with front extensions more visible and therefore needing greater care and design flair. In many cases, a front extension will simply be considered inappropriate. ----------------------- -Would the conversion of a conservatory window into a bifold door be considered an external alteration? or alterations to the external visual appearance. Although it's situated at the rear of the house Here is their link on the charges, for Scheme of Management https://www.calthorpe.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Calthorpe-SoM-application-fees.pdf
