My rug. I liked my furniture and arm chairs and coffee tables but something still felt missing. I suspected the right rug would bring my living room together so I set out a mission to find the rug - one that would delineate the space, give a lived in feeling and tell a story. Took 2 years, but finally found one from Kashmir while traveling. It's patterns are subtle and vibrant at the same time. I love the warmth it adds to the living room. Silky soft to sit on, and the best part is, it reminds me of my travels.

I have an island and light is similar size and it looks great. I only have one light but think I. Old have spaced the lights differently and used two. I think your lights will work.

They definitely add some drama to the space

extraction comes under part F of building regs, so your architect should be detailing this in the plans for the extension. As i understand part F the important bit is Part F When inserting or removing an internal wall, care should be taken not to make ventilation worse. Any new kitchen, a toilet with no openable window; a bath/shower room or utility room should be provided with a mechanical extract fan. The type of room will determine how much ventilation is required. Part F says that where a kitchen previously had only a recirculating fan this can be retained/replaced if it is made no worse. However, I would always recommend fitting an extractor to deal with condensation. • Kitchen: 30l/s if over the hob and 60l/s if placed elsewhere so you could have an expelair type extractor on an external wall that will comply with regs at a minimum.
