Stuck for inspiration! Need help with this floor plan
Comments (15)Thanks all! Unfortunately it's not really possible to notmodernise fairly soonish. I don't think the house has been touched since it was built (20s/30s), which means electrics are really old and the house needs to be re-wired, which in itself is a large job so we may as well do some internal work at the same time. I'm warming to the idea of a shower room downstairs, but I can't see where it would fit. We'd be keeping the doorway out to the side, but I think it'd be weird to walk into a shower room from there. Preferably you'd walk into the utility and the shower room would be off that, but I just can't figure it out floor plan-wise. Any ideas? titiankim - well spotted RE the windows in the rear reception. There's actually a window on the right leading towards the current "garden room" and there are two internal windows too. Funnily enough the rear reception room is really light currently. If we went with the sketch I drew, we'd keep it so that there are windows going all the way around that side and into the kitchen/diner. I also like the idea of keeping the two internal windows, plus the double doors to the kitchen would have windows too, so it'd still be quite bright. I think it's a wise idea to keep both reception rooms as I do think my mother's partner and his father would like their own space (plus the rear reception would make a great play room for future families). I've attached a photo of this room so you get a better idea....See MoreNeed design inspiration for a kitchen/diner in an old farmhouse
Comments (2)This sounds exciting! Metro tiles would be a great choice for a splashback as they can look both modern & traditional depending on the rest of the room....See MorePlease help. Need inspiration!!!
Comments (3)Kirsty, the plan is very feint and difficult to read. It also has no dimensions on it that i can see. I'd say at first glance that the dining area looks quite small in comparison to the kitchen, that the bi-folds should be by the dining area and not in the play area, and that the play area needs screening so that you can close it off when the kids have gone to bed to create a nice calm, entertaining, adult only area. Any chance of dimensions?...See MoreColour/design ideas for small cabinet. Need inspiration!
Comments (14)What kind of wood is it? If it’s real mahogany consider stripping it first. Unvarnished mahogany can be a soft nearly blush pink tone that’s really lovely just oiled. If you don’t like it you can always paint it later....See Moremrsscoles
