Comments (8)Oak is durable so a good choice if you want solid wood. Maybe go for plank sizes between 15-20 cm to keep it in keeping with the period of the property. If you're using the same flooring in the kitchen and bathroom it may be worth considering engineered wood or even a good quality laminate for letting (installation will also be cheaper)....See MoreOpen plan or semi open plan?

Comments (5)Hi all, Thank you for your comments; I appreciate them! Natasha - the units you have suggested are very much what I had in mind. We will have a shaker kitchen and the media unit would also be shaker style and would have 4-6 cupboards with the TV in the middle with book shelves either side. Part of the reason we kept a partial wall was to make the space more usable. I can’t envision how the fully open plan room will be able to meet all our needs, but I am open to ideas! I feel that open plan would be more impressive, but potentially less usable. With regards to the doors. I do plan to reverse the doors both into the kitchen and family room part, but couldn’t work out how to do it on the app I used for the floor plan. It is a 1920s house and we have the original doors which we are planning to keep. We are also keeping a lot of floor space as when the table is not extended, we still have young children with lots of Lego and trains etc. I plan for these to be hidden in the cupboards at bedtime. J - we haven’t installed the kitchen but we have ordered it and paid a big deposit. Some of the units are bespoke/irregular sizes and I don’t think we would be willing to change this. I have attached a photo of our rendered kitchen plan. Thanks again for your comments. It is good to have other people’s opinions and ideas....See Moreopen plan room feature wall colour
Comments (18)Okay. Not sure why you were set on blue? I can't see blue going well with your sofa? But I've tried F&B Hague Blue and that seems to go fairly well. Anyway, it's nearly impossible to give paint colour advice based on photos on screen, since colours will look different on every screen and are also influenced by the light in a room. But... here are visuals of Brinjal, Hague Blue and Salon Drab. Which whall(s) are you thinking of painting? All three? I'm not keen on the Brinjal, because I feel that it will cast a red glow over the room? I quite like the look of Salon Drab on my screen. Looks nice and calm and cosy. Might be totally different on your screen or in real life though....See MoreSeeking clever paint ideas / colours for an open plan
Comments (3)Hi, Have you seen that Dulux have launched a new heritage collection? There are some great colours. You can get a free dolour chart here https://www.designerpaint.com/brands/dulux-heritage?fbclid=IwAR24sc873RLmxHGIQmkzdZDYUqTf2Ew5cE8sPIxaFITK3GOcjpnRHb22XU0 I would paint the internal recesses of the shelving unit but before you pick a colour look at the types of items you are planning on displaying - this may give you a better steer on the colours to pick. Hope thats some help Rgds Vicky...See MoreJuliet Docherty
