I am in the process of redoing the sitting room in a 1930s house....beautiful spaces but a bit mean when it comes to light fittings. Currently avoiding any floorboards lifting etc, so instead of having recessed light in the ceilings am thinking of adding some recessed lights in the floor ( add a layer of light at floor level and would be good to highlight some art on the wall.) This is doable as the flooring is being changed......any ideas how to go about this please?

We love our new kitchen...! Many thanks to Mark at Voga and his team for this great transformation. Such a wonderful space to sit in/cook in. I would highly recommend Mark's stylish yet practical approach, along with real attention to detail and great to work with too!

Stunning work! Love the bright kitchen.

Hi Mary, Not sure how this layout cam about but it's a strange one. I would love to see pictures of all those doors in the middle! If the other rooms have already been refurbished and you don't want to do anything with them... So to try and fix the remaining part of the house. I would demolish the current bathroom and bring it to the front of the "corridor". Behind that I would use the remaining part of the "corridor" as a utility/laundry room. I would also, at least fix the door to the under stair cupboard. Finally I would square of the kitchen with a small extension and open it up to the garden with bi fold doors and french doors on your dining room. The result would be a much more spacious kitchen with island and seating as well as lots of storage compared to your current kitchen, and a great indoor/outdoor dining space via your dining room. You would also have a dedicated laundry room and a bathroom where you don't need to walk through a kitchen to get to it! If, however, you would like to consider a bigger project then, in addition to the above, I would recommend getting rid of the strange door arrangement in the middle of the house by combing the kitchen and dining room to create a large open plan space. Having a architect or designer onboard is not expensive but can in fact save you from making costly mistakes and having to redo work!
