How do I arrange my new space

Hi, recently taken down a couple of walls and extended the hall opening.
I have an issue....the space where I stand and to my left , I’m unsure how to arrange those.
A tv and sofa (corner or u-shaped preferred) are important but Im really stuck with where to put them. Especially where a TV goes.
I also have a dining table , but wouldn’t lose sleep if I had to sacrifice that.
Help welcome.

Comments (15)However, a bathroom on the second floor will demand a redefinition of the house hydraulics to make a better use of water, avoiding extra expending to the family who lives in there. Maybe, you should consider making a second bathroom on top of the other, and make two bedrooms (on 2nd floor) about the same size, and the extra space left from the long bedroom could be family living room with cushions, a hammock, and big windows (No wall separating it from the corridor, since it would just end on that living area)....See MoreWorkshop challenge - how do I make a big space work and look smart
Comments (8)Hi. It's difficult to say without knowing exactly what the business requirements are. What flooring is down atm as I would go for large concrete effect tiles to minimise flooring costs? Add rugs for texture plus if you need to work on the floor? I would divide the area so you have a work area and a seating area with kitchenette. Use industriał style dividers or bookcases to split the space. Colours will need to be light for working so maybe a very pale grey or white for walls but use dark blue or charcoal velvet for a sofa with maybe a leather chair. I assume the other end of the room is the same? I would build cupboards with shelves ŵall to ceiling, deep enough to hold fabric ( I might be tempted to paint these in a charcoal though!). Maybe look at a library ladder for reaching the top shelves. I'd buy an enormous old desk in wood and leather, have a look in antique shops for the double style desks. You can buy large vintage filing cabinets for any buttons, threads etc ( there's an antique shop in long melford which sells cabinets and desks if you're close to suffolk!) Use a large pendant light in the seating area with floor lamps but maybe look at the industriał style track lighting for the working area combined with task lights for the desk. You could also add mirrors to bounce the light...See MoreHow do I keep my new kitchen floor clean?
Comments (5)there are several DIY products out there specifically design to clean grout. Most are chlorine based and can be found in most tile shops or online. Oxygen peroxide is another common solution. You need to be careful as both methods can discolour your tiles (depending on tiles type and quality) and you should concentrate on the grout only, using an old toothbrush. However, always remember that cement based grout in porous and will inevitably get dirty again. Another DIY solution is to use grout pens, available online. Those pens are relatively inexpensive and simply colour over your grout. There are no permanent solutions to dirty grout I am afraid and regular maintenance is required. The only way to reduce grout staining is to use epoxy or urethane grout in the first place. Epoxy and urethane grouts are waterproof but a bit more difficult to install as DIY job but offer better performance than cement grout....See MoreCloakroom toilet - how to arrange this space!?
Comments (3)With the smallest corner loo you can find? And a shelf over the washing machine, bowl on top. It would be the tightest toilet I've ever come across (aside from a motorhome)! And how to load and unload the washing machine? I'd advise you to look for another nook for the washing machine. Minimum toilet space is 120x80cm. Our downstairs loo (original to the house) is 120x95 and husband (187cm) goes upstairs if he needs to sit down, or has to leave the door open......See MoreEllie
