Downsizing - how was it for you?
Comments (31)It was the best thing to do for this stage in our lives. Each home we had fitted our circumstances at the time; no children to a growing busy family back to occasional family. We left our 5 bedroom Victorian town house with the typical large rooms which we had lived in for 20 years and the location we had been in for over 30 years We had created a small but beautiful walled garden and I had to travel by car to my allotment. Having decided to move we spent time sorting the house to make the best of marketing it. We went through all the boxes of photographs, (my three boys having a good giggle), threw the unnecessary or duplicate ones away, then sent them off to be put on CD. We kept the shoe box full of photos as well just in case..... I put all my boys school stuff into separate boxes and they had to decide what to do with it. One did not even look at it, one looked and then dumped and one selected a few bits he wanted. As a joint exercise it was a wonderful family time and trip down memory lane. We had several sweeps through our belongings. Each time it was obvious what was not needed. Items given away, sold donated or dumped. It also became easier each time to let go of the things we previously thought we wanted. Finally storage for some bits then we moved into a rented flat whilst we looked for our next property. By the time we found it, and with the process of moving most of what was in storage was not needed emotionally or physically either. We are now 300 miles away in a two bedroom cottage in the middle of a forest. We are renovating it and adapting it (not enlarging) as we go, in fact turning it into a one bedroom property but with flexible other rooms. We do have the advantage of a mezzanine bedroom holiday conversion attached which we are using whilst the work is happening. This small space living is focusing us even further. Financially we are much better off, I am creating the home of my dreams, we have entered a new welcoming community and a totally new way of life. Our boys love visiting. We have been here for 18 months and so glad we have done it. Cathartic, most definitely, happier certainly, the right thing for this stage of our lives yes....See MoreU shaped kitchen illumination - Help!
Comments (0)Hi all! I would really appreaciate any help to choose the right lighting schema for my kitchen. It's a U shaped kitchen, 3 mts. wide x about 5 long. I made this: each colour is a different light and the switches for each circuit are shown in the picture too. Red and orange are under cabinet lights, green and blue are recessed led, yellow i still don't know (I was thinking about something like these two: https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/smart-light-nele-led-rise-and-fall-pendant-bar-light-p12710 or https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/the-lighting-book-cuisine-small-modern-led-flush-tube-ceiling-light-white-p5250) and purple goes above the dinning area: https://www.wayfair.co.uk/Dar-Lighting-Gaucho-1-Light-Bowl-Pendant-DLI4356.html?piid=13678183#readmoremodal1 The cabinets are shaker white painted and the worktops are wooden. The ceilings are quite hight (about 3.5 meters high) What do you think? Too much light? I'm in doubt about having two pendant lights (yellow and purple) or if I have to go with all recessed and leave only the purple one as pendant.

Comments (0)Thinking of starting a new design project? Unsure where to start? We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 questions you should consider before you begin. Whether you’re taking on some DIY, or working alongside a professional, make sure you’ve considered each of these points. They’ll help you get to grips with your project and help overcome any problems and mind blocks. 1. What is your budget? First thing to consider with any design project is budget. How much money do you plan to spend? When starting from scratch, estimating a budget can be difficult. A total kitchen redesign will be a lot more expensive than a few cabinet adjustments. So things to consider are how much space do you plan to renovate? What changes are you planning to make? Just new cabinets? Or new flooring, lighting, and appliances? Get in touch with several different professionals to give you a rough estimate of how much the project would cost. But remember while quality will usually cost a little extra, in the long run it’s well worth it. 2. How much space do you have? This will probably come into budget, but make sure to consider space. What do you want to achieve from your design project and how does space come into it? Can you rethink the space to create a different effect or atmosphere? What do you like about your existing space and what needs to be changed? 3. What is the kitchen for? Thinking about the kitchen’s purpose is really important. Are you someone who likes to cook? Is it a family room? Do you need a space for dinner parties? Deciding this will really help when it comes to the design stage. 4. How do you like to cook? If you’re someone who likes to cook, investing in some useful gadgets maybe worth it. If so, do you need extra counter space to store them? Is there ample room to clean and prepare the food? But if you’re someone who wants a quick meal, maybe cut down on preparation areas and use the space for a snazzy breakfast bar or extra freezer storage. 5. How do you shop? If you like to buy food in bulk, you may need extra food storage space like a large freezer or larder. If you buy a lot of dry food or cans, do you have enough under counter storage? If you like to try new cuisines, perhaps an integrated spice rack would suit? Or if you’re a drinks connoisseur, consider space for a wine rack or drinks cabinet? Will these be on the wall, on the floor or integrated? 6. Who’s the master of the kitchen? Take time to consider who uses the kitchen most. Do you need a larger sink to accommodate multi-tasking? Do you have young children who want to help you in the kitchen? Designing the perfect space takes time, especially when there is more than one person to consider. Consider the flow of the room, and how each member of the family will play their part in the kitchen. 7. What type of appliances? This is one of the most important considerations when designing a kitchen. You need to consider where your appliances will go. Especially the big ones. Are you thinking a gas, electric or induction hob? Do you need a large fridge/freezer combo? Do you want a stand alone cooker and a two tier cooker integrated into a wall cabinet? Is there still space to move from one to the other and are they easy to access? 8. What style do you like? Are you considering a more classical design? Or are you thinking something more modern and hi-tech? Likewise, don’t feel you have to limit yourself to one style. You may like the style of a Shaker kitchen but then opt for a bold electric blue to create a statement. 9. What colour and materials do you like? When opting for a bespoke kitchen, the options are almost limitless. From wood species and finish, to countertop material and handles, different combinations create very different effects. If you’re opting for something more traditional, perhaps add some unusual handles to add a contemporary splash. Or if you’re thinking super modern with clean straight lines, maybe add a speckled splash back, or a tiled splashback to add some texture and contrast. 10. Finally, does this space suit you? With so many things to choose from, and so many pictures of designs on the internet, finding the right kitchen can be very overwhelming. Sometimes in an attempt to create something perfect and unique, you can loose track of what you actually want to achieve. You may like the idea of a wall mounted wooden wine rack or a multi tier cabinet just for your cereal, but if it doesn’t suit your lifestyle then why have it? At each stage of the decision making, take a step back and consider the feature in your everyday life. If you can’t visualise it, bin it.

Comments (33)Hi all, here’s an early spec of the new layout. Things I like - my home office is slightly longer and likely a more comfortable space to work in. The stairs are on the left hand side which enables the pantry on the right hand side to become larger and combine with the utility room from upstairs (allowing one of the upstairs bedrooms to become an en suite) Access to kitchen utility is from kitchen What I don’t like: our layout to the rear of the property is somewhat impeded by a post in the middle of the room (shown where current kitchen cabinets end) which was meant to be junction of kitchen and playroom and serves to hold up a beam. Removing this post would open up floor but need a larger beam and additional cost of £5k+ which I’m trying to avoid. Sofa layout just seems out of place/too big and placement of media wall dictated by the post and trying to run media wall behind kitchen cabinet. That side of the room also seems to have lot of wasted space. What I’d like to refine: a kitchen layout in same location that incorporates an island /peninsula. Sofa to placed nearer to the patio doors facing out to the right hand side of the property (garden is south west facing) A casual dining area near the orleo window on right and more formal dining area towards bottom left hand side of the room. Any tips welcome!...See MoreWalibili
