POLL: Dryer or drying rack?
Comments (18)I'm with you all on this one - it's all about space and time with drying! @drywsdad I can relate - I had a party at my flat over the weekend and I only realised that all my washing was out drying across rails/bannisters/radiator until they got there! Fortunately in my house I've got a kitchen-maid drying rack that hangs from the ceiling which is great as well - does anyone else have this?...See MorePOLL: Yay or nay - open plan kitchens?
Comments (206)We are often approached by clients who are creating an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. To overcome some of the issues we make cabinetry which can hide away the usual clutter found in a busy kitchen. Bi-fold and pocketing doors are great in this instance as ovens and even sinks can be hidden away, making the cabinetry seem more like a piece of furniture than a kitchen. Our clients love being able to change the look of a space in an instance! It is crucial to make sure you choose your appliances carefully, i.e. a quiet dishwasher and a good extractor are of huge benefit here. As long as the space is thoughtfully planned there is no reason that it shouldn't work functional and aesthetically....See MoreReconfiguration - confused on who does what!
Comments (6)I'm a bit confused as to how many people live here - bedrooms suggest 6 - dining table suggests 8 - but soft seating only has room for 5 ?!? Anyway that's not answering your question - for simple electric update, a chat on site with your electrician and a copy of the plan you have should suffice. Think about where you want lamps and sockets for vacuuming and charging phones in addition to permanently plugged in appliances etc . It's not difficult - just be logical ! If your designer has priced up your project to include detailing the spec for builders you should let her. If not, and you want to go down the route of using the common sense of builders to build the walls in the right place and kitchen and bathroom company being able to draw plans and work with the builders, most are more than capable of doing so. You may even find one company who can provide kitchens, bathrooms and the build team to do the whole project ! You have done the structural thing - so sounds like you have the important parts covered. Comments made by some people about your designer being inexperienced sound possibly a bit harsh !? The shower door could be bi fold to avoid door clash. One last thing - a laundry room with shelving above appliances - opening with double doors into the hall space might work better for laundry area for a family home rather than just one door and a stack of appliances at the end - although I know that means talking to the structural guys again ! But in the long run - this way would make more efficient use of the space IMO .... a bit like this http://houzz.com/photos/26461611...See MorePOLL: What do you use your guest room for?
Comments (29)As no-one stays anymore, I swapped my lounge with my spare room (flat). I now have a lovely square lounge just for TV and chats etc. My spare bed is in my new 'craft room' just in case but it is covered with paper, clay, frames, paint and records. I paint and listen to old rock and metal that I can shout along to!!!...See Morepgeraghtyca
