knock down wall, tile all the same?
Comments (5)kinda depends on whether the wood floor goes with the kitchen. Personally I like to see the same floor throughout as that continuity does make a home seem bigger and help with the open plan feel. However it is perfectly acceptable to have a different floor treatment in one room as long as they are completely different materials....See MoreWhich walls to knock down?
Comments (2)Given you have two staircases in a modest home perhaps you should be considering a complete replan including the upstairs. You might also want to consider if the front door is better elsewhere. You should also give serious thought to your budget as clearly knocking down walls and moving the kitchen isn’t free. One service you might want to use is a Concept Planner- this will help you to visualise what is possible before speaking to builders about what is achievable for your budget....See MoreRemodel ground floor - layout
Comments (9)Think about hierarchy of the spaces. The most important maybe looking at the garden, so from this your utility and wc should move to the front? the front of the garage area is the obvious place. (drainage permitting of course). This opens up the whole of the back to engage with the garden. Add some big bifolds or sliders (structure permitting). Internally if the front of the garage is utility and wc (wc door off entrance foyer not kitchen) then put the kitchen mid way along the garage and leave the whole of the back for play/living area....See MoreHelp with bathroom design
Comments (7)Hi Scott, I did a bathroom just like this a while back. We enlarged the bathroom - adding a door right off the stairs into the bathroom to make one large room. This door opens into the bathroom but the opposite way to the current way the door opens - so the door ends up against the wall when fully open rather than floating in the room. With the door this way around, itt is now easier to enter a room and you waste less floor space with space you need to use to get a person around the open door. Then we shaved off some of the wall between the toilet & the rest of the bathroom. By having a half wall, you feel like you maintain a bit of privacy in the toilet, gives you an extra wall to put plumbing into and place a sink again so your layout, and makes the room feel bigger. New Layout: Put the sink where the bath is against the new 1/2 wall. Put the bath where the sink is - butting the bath up to the shower Keep the shower where the shower is, but with a portion of the internal bathroom wall gone next to the toilet and the door opening into the bath the opposite way, you can now increase the length / size of the shower to make it more comfortable. A custom glass enclosure will be more expensive for the shower (although you may be able to find one online that will work with the measurements of your space along with a shower trey), but it will be far less expensive than trying to move the toilet (new waste plumbing) and the other plumbing inlets & outlets which feed your sink, shower & bath in the bathroom. Tip - tile the entire room - floor & walls (floor to ceiling) - easier to clean, stays nicer for longer, and looks cohesive. This plan will give you a luxurious proper functional bathroom that you will very much enjoy having. Best wishes & good luck!...See MoreHuw Buckley
