Actually Amanda, I've cooked with gas for years but now I have induction I'd never go back. The heat is instant and adjustable in just the same way as gas however the heat distribution is superior as it's more even. The other advantages are that the hob doesn't get anywhere near as hot so it's far safer, especially with young children, also cleaning is much easier as there are no bits and bobs to remove and, as the hob doesn't get hot, no burnt on residue if there are any spillages. Before I bought the hob I was concerned about heat distribution in a wok as I stir fry a lot, but I can honestly say it's been great with that too. I don't have a minimal kitchen, just a sleek counter, and personally I find the bulky Wolf hobs unattractive, but each to their own. In summary, in my opinion, gas is good but induction is better. That said, I'm not keen on this kitchen at all, sorry St James. Normally you give great advice and suggestions but here the sockets look wrong and I'm not keen on how they look on the tiling. What matters though is the clients opinion, so if they love it that's brilliant.

That conservatory looks like such a lovely place to relax, particularly in these colder months - feel like you're outside but stay nice and cosy in the warm!

We have one, although the shelves aren’t up to locate it yet. We also have one of the floating lamps and a plain Matt black globe that spins on an axis. We have things for a display. I might get a small orrery :)

OK with Honesty... What you need for a successful interior is cohesion and an element of surprise. At the moment there is no cohesion in this scheme apart from the neutral colours, which honestly are a little bit boring as they are. White, beige and brown can be OK but you need to think about the textures and the other materials that you're combining that with. These things are too disparate for a cohesive scheme at the moment: farmhouse beam ceiling (I'm assuming - unless its painted stripes?!), victoriana style fireplace, shaker style wardrobe, contemporary lampshades (maybe 70's, hard to tell), 2x gold mirrors - one is kind of 1930's simple form and the other is a more ornate sunburst type style, natural wood side table (at least it looks like - though hard to tell, but its very rustic looking and completely different to anything else), black vase - stands out in the overall scheme and not in a good way... Eclectic mix can be good but you still need something to pull things together - be that a colour, or a material or a form or a style, just something... all these things don't work together. As far as layout goes - you can't really tell what the layout is from this kind of sectional interior elevation. You really need a floorplan to see the layout. Scale - the sizes of these things are all over the place. This could be to do with the tool you've used to create the image, but they are kind of wild in their range of scales. The wardrobe is huge and the fireplace is relatively tiny. The mirror above the fireplace also dwarfs it. The scale of things usually relates to the visual importance and it looks like the fireplace is pretty insignificant so the question is - do you really need it? What is it adding? I would also want to see the window and the bed - these are crucial elements in a bedroom. If there is a nice view from the window then perhaps position the bed to make the most of the view instead. The style of the bed needs to also be cohesive with the overall and usually in a bedroom the focal points are the bed and the window. A fireplace could be one too, but I wouldn't add a fake one in if it's not there already and if you do want to add a fireplace as a statement and focal point then use one that is big enough and visually powerful enough to make the statement that you want to make, rather than being apologetic. I suggest you start from the architecture of the space - if it has any particular style already then take inspiration from that. If its a modern blank box then pick one style and emphasise that. Colourscheme - neutrals can be great but to elevate them you need to consider textures and a balance of bright, mid and dark tones - you're kind of there with the white, beige and dark brown but do you really love those? Generally, unless you are trying to overcome something weird with the space by creating some kind of optical illusion or effect, then you wouldn't normally use dark stripes on the ceiling as it makes the space feel heavy and pulls the ceiling down. For a high ceiling or a big room it can work, but its not easy to get right. Gold with neutrals can be glamourous, rustic raw materials like untreated wood and concrete with neutrals can be calm and peaceful and contemporary, black with neutrals can be cool and sharp - but altogether, black and gold and raw materials, is usually a bit much and can look more messy than stylish. It's a question of proportion and balance. Having said all that you can break all design rules when you know what you're doing and you're doing it with purpose. Hope this helps!
