Victoria conversion flat

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Just downsized and moved into a recently converted 1st floor Victoria flat in a country house. It is a mixture of contemporary and old with black wooden flooring throughout. It has matching blue, grey and white floor tiles in kitchen, bathroom and part of the corridor area. Roll top bath in one bathroom. The walls are feature painted in grey. Dining room in soft blue with a real fireplace. Plain white Venetian blinds throughout. Lounge has wood burning stove. We need lights and pictures for the walls. Would appreciate some ideas. Having difficulty in thinking how to decorate. It just feels a little cold and needs some interesting touches that can bring some warmth, especially to the 3 bedrooms.

Hi there,

I agree with previous comments, it would definitely help if you could add some photos so that I can give you better advice. I would be happy to help you find interesting ideas for your spaces once I see what they look like.

Hi. It would help if you add photos, also details of which way the rooms face. I can only see a kitchen idea book set up which doesn’t always indicate what styles and colours you like so more details needed please!

Maybe you can upload some pictures then although storage is very personal. I don't know if you need general storage for linen, towels, suitcases etc but if it's just clothes (and it's boring) but you need to work out exactly how much storage you need for long clothes, bags, shoes, folded items etc etc. Assuming you're working and likely to stay in the same industry it doesn't tend to vary that much from one year to the next (ignoring the current situation where everyone wants comfy clothes!). You should also be able to make use of double hanging rails with the ceiling height

Thanks for the advise Kate! We are blessed with great proportions and height in the hallway so the staircase will not take from room space. My husband works in construction so we are confident that is the case. We are share of freehold. Great relationship with other share so permission should be straight forward with legals, party walls etc naturally written to support. Our Nextdoor neighbour/ same flat layout as us just had planing approved for front loft conversion and moving kitchen to front bedroom. Big job 😬 for all of us neighbours but we are all pretty easy going. The finances is a major consideration. Will we be happy living here with 2 young girls in 5-10 years time. We paid top ££ for a turnkey flat. That was 6 years ago. We have since had 2 girls. Tiny kitchen and so much lost space is not ideal. Moving to a new house in this area will cost us £35-£45k stamp, moving and legal. Also the house will need work to get within our budget - likely £40k minimum. The mortgage will also be bigger…with children in the mix I find making these decisions so much harder! The project in flat will probably cost £100k.

Have you got sofas yet? Swoon have some great blue velvet ones.

The traditional setting, blue & grey will work very well with warm wood tones. So, maybe some occasional furniture, side tables, coffee table, sideboard etc could be thrown in there. Mustard yellow looks great with everything above, and will also add some warmth. Gold mirrors too.
