Empty space now a bright and open entrance room!

Christian Builders Margate Ltd

7 years ago

The floor plan for the cottage has been completely reconfigured so what was once a narrow dining room, is a lovely open entrance room, with a central staircase and added cloakroom!

The property is being used as a holiday rental - and is not yet fully furnished.

YOU HAVE THE MAKINGS OF A DREAM HOME AND GOOD TASTE. YOUR STYLE AND COLOUR CHOICES ARE SIMILAR TO KELLY HOPPEN. YOU COULD MAKE A FEATURE OF THE WINDOW BY BUILDING A STORAGE WINDOW SEAT INTO THE BAY. IT COULD BE EXTRA SEATING/DINING AND SAVE FLOOR SPACE. YOU COULD PUT A NICE SMALL ROUND DINING TABLE OR FOLD AWAY TABLE AND ADD SOME KARTEL LOUIS GHOST STYLE CHAIRS THERE, THERE ARE SOME GOOD INEXPENSIVE IDENTICAL COPIES. THEY ARE TRANSPARENT ACRYLIC AND STACKABLE IT WOULD MAKE A GORGEOUS EXTRA OCCAISIONAL DINING AREA, OR A NICE SPOT FOR HUBBY TO READ NEWSPAPER. YOU COULD MAKE WINDOW ROMAN BLINDS IN SHEER VOILE THE TRICK IS TO DO 3 LAYERS, THAT WAY THE LIGHT FLOODS IN, BUT NO-ONE CAN SEE IN. YOU COULD ALSO GET A CEILING MOUNTED TRACK, MADE IN LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTIC AND VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE, THAT WAY YOU HANG LIGHWEIGHT CURTAINS FROM CEILNG, IT MAKES CEILING LOOK HIGHER. I LIKED YOUR CHOICE IN LIGHTS I LOVE THE ONE ON THE TOP RIGHT. YOU ALREADY HAVE GOOD TASTE, BUT I WOULD SAY MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF LIGHT INTO THE ROOM. GOOD LUCK.

You have a lovely home to work with. I would say don't underestimate mirrors for making a room look twice as big. Have you considered giant mirrors, or mirroring an entire wall? How about the curved wall? I would pay attention to lighting also, as great lighting can make your home look a million dollars and more spacious. I would make a focal point with television resting on a gorgeous storage cabinet, place wall picture frames on wall where tv is placed, this will draw attention to the art and cabinet rather than the tv itself. I would get highback armchairs and use them for both dining and lounge seating with a sofa. I like those Victorian card tables on wheels, that fold up, multipurpose. Only buy furniture you absolutely love, don't follow trends, follow your heart, after all you want to feel good at home. Don't be half-hearted follow your dreams, be confident. When you fully execute your interior passion you'll be happy and others who come to your home will sense you and credit your style as being authentic, true to you and they will love it as much as they love you.

Help with a empty space in our utility

Fill it with a piece of plinth or wood/mdf painted to match. I have slightly larger gaps at the end of a run in our kitchen - too small for regular cupboards and I didn't want a bottle rack, so my husband made a plain door with a push opening, it is perfect for trays & baking sheets. I can't think of items you may have in the utility that would fit the gap.
