Help choosing dining table and chairs please
Comments (8)I like options 1 and 2. If I'm honest, option 3 just wouldn't seem to do the rest of the space justice to my mind but that's just personal taste. Have you also thought of mixing a different style/period table with eames chairs or even mixing different eames chairs? The images i've found aren't quite what I had in mind but gives you an idea....See MoreNeed help on kitchen tiles and window treatment
Comments (14)I think you can transform this kitchen on a low budget to tide you over for the next couple of years. I would do the following: Try painting a sample tile to see if it will properly accept paint. If so, I'd paint them a very pale cream to make them disappear, and remove the large section of tiling altogether near the door. Wipeable paint should be sufficient here. I wouldn't change the door handles - your ideas for bringing in a few industrial styled items will work quite well even if you keep these. Industrial style bar stools (black metal and wood) + black metal industrial style lighting will have great impact on the room and tie in with the cupboard handles and radiator you already have. Photo wall on the end wall behind the breakfast area is a nice idea - just be careful how you place the frames so they don't conflict visually with the lighting you choose when you are standing at the other end of the kitchen. You could actually do this photo wall over your nice charcoal coloured radiator instead to avoid visual clashes with the light fitting. I would go for a group of photos all in the same frame finish to keep it coherent - just modern slim black frames to link with the metal on lights and bar stools. Windows - if you are not overlooked I'd leave them without blinds. It is more in keeping with the pared back industrial style you are leaning towards. Are you happy with the colour of your walls? It might just be the photo but it looks a little on the dark side - and I'm not sure grey really sits with cream very well? You could paint the walls a lighter colour - maybe something similar or the same as the tile colour you choose which will make those tiles disappear even further. Perhaps there is a tendency for many of us to try to include grey with existing schemes because it is strongly in fashion when in fact it needs careful planning to avoid it either clashing or looking too cold. (just what I've observed from experience)! If you are planning on revamping the whole kitchen in a couple of years I think doing these small changes will satisfy you as to the existing with very little outlay. If the things you choose to buy now are going to be used in the new kitchen too you won't feel as though you've wasted too much time and money now. Hope some of these ideas might perhaps be useful- I don't profess to be a professional but I really enjoy interiors and making things work!...See MoreEntrance Hallway dilemma. n
Comments (32)Hopefully will only send this once, don't know what happened before - I like the ink blue option keeping my original sofa option with the purple cushion the best I think, and the rug idea is great, will need to find a large one, I moved the purple chair to the position that you said, but my husband didn't like it there and said people would bash their head on the stairs ! so I moved it back :) n...See MoreKitchen / Diner / Living Room layout help!
Comments (29)I have a probably unpopular suggestion... unless you're happy with an end design.. could you either do it in stages (I appreciate living in a building site is Never ideal) So knock out the chimneys and open up the space, but not pull out the kitchen etc. Give you a bit of time to see the space and be able to move your sofa/dining table around to try and work out what would work best in reality? Or postpone the project slightly to give yourselves the time to finalise a layout you're truly happy with +/- using OnePlan? I agree tho, realistically with that layout its stools or the sofa! Also I wondered whether the outside store space off the lean to, could be made accessible from the hallway? And then could that be the utility cupboard? Then you could use that bottom bit in your kitchen for tall units/larder cupboard/pantry/FF etc...See MorePWJ Architects Ltd
