Victorian knocked through living and dining room design same or diff?
Comments (16)Thanks Ensign! The magnolia comment was just about a temporary measure as the majority of the room is already magnolia and we have some leftover from recent touch ups to our rental. Definitely won't be magnolia long term. We originally had a room by room plan, but got waylaid as we had to rip out carpets and wallpaper from upstairs immediately to get rid of smells. Downstairs we haven't touched the kitchen/utility, although we have had to strip both halls, again due to smell. With the exception of dealing with the floor, our bedroom will be finished first as it doesn't need any tradesman input. Everything else will have to be done in bits and pieces as and when we can afford to get trades in to plaster/ deal with pointing outside causing damp and so on....See MoreEnsuite toilet separate or in bathroom?
Comments (1)Your husband is definitely right in that it would be easier to keep the WC separate. However, whether it would be better to join the two rooms is quite another issue. Most often, we join bathrooms and WCs to give a greater feeling of space and (as an incidental plus point) less wall to maintain. Assuming cost isn't the main issue, you'll probably need to convince your husband that the benefits of rearrangement merit venturing beyond his comfort with the status quo....See Moreembedding only allows 20 photos from ideabook

Comments (23)We were in the exact dilemma as well - it seems to be a common to'ing and fro'ing question. Our kitchen is longer but narrower than yours at 7m by 2.9m. In the end we decided not to know through but rearranged the layout to allow for a peninsula which we eat breakfast at (I'd have loved an island too but it just didn't fit in our space) and then an informal area at the end which has a reading chair by the outside doors and space for a toddler table and chairs and toddler play kitchen. Our kitchen connects to the dining/living room with double doors which we often have open. My children are much younger but I feel like this layout has given us enough openess to have family space and fun but it is really easy to close off the noise of the tv and playing if we want a quieter dinner together in the kitchen. I have quite a few images of our kitchen on my instagram if it would help to see it @greenraindesigns We also have a front room which is smaller but it has a no toys allowed rule. So far the layout is working really well for our family and I can see it continuing to do so as my boys get bigger (and louder!). It's definitely personal preference but if you have a wide entry from one room into the next you may be able to enjoy both worlds?...See MoreIan Dunn Woodwork & Design
