Ideas for open plan kitchen with living area
Comments (1)I wonder if you could use the front of the room as a sitting area, mid area as a TV zone - you could place your TV on the wall on the side of the stairs. Then the rear as a kitchen/dining zone. I would be tempted to look at some sort of room divider - maybe a open thru display case between the formal area/TV zone or the TV zone/kitchen area. This should help to create definition between the areas and make the room look bigger too.

Comments (13)If you've re-plastered and removed the shelf from above, etc., I'd just put a plant on it, like a Philodendron. Something that can live in a dark(ish) corner. If you put a table/floor uplighter behind it that will shine up the walls and light up that corner in the evenings, I think it could be a lovely effect (this one is from (loads available, for example on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Astro-4532-Limina-Uplighter-Plaster/dp/B005LVJPH2 )...See MoreAny ideas what to do with this wall? Fit modern electric fireplace?
Comments (6)We've just fitted a Gotham 900 electric fire from Flamerite. We had a gas fire but didn't often use it as we don't really need extra heating in the room so it was just dark and lifeless. This fire has a great flame effect which can be used without heat, but it can also pump out heat when needed. It looks very like the long fire in the photo - but the one in the photo looks like gas. We wanted a gas fire with lights so that it could glow when it wasn't turned on but apparently very few gas fires do this as, when the fire is turned on, it blows the bulbs!

Comments (25)Hi, I love the idea that Spaced Out has offered above as that would have been my suggestion upon first reading as well. I am about to 'paint a runner' on my own white painted stairs at the moment to compliment grey walls and a black front door - considering black similar to the example in blue shown above. I think it can be quite striking and very easily fits into a Scandinavian interior. Do choose paint wisely, and spend on quality in this case as stairs are hit with heavy feet and can show wear and tear quickly particularly if they are original. I have the same in my own house and have already had to do touch ups twice since we moved in two years ago. Another suggestion would be to ask your painter to put sand in your paint - not too much but just a bit - as it creates a natural tread on stairs that can be quite helpful. Painted stairs can be very slippery! Best of luck in your new home!...See Moredesign novice
