What is the black area to the left and right of the firebox?

4 years ago

Can you please tell me what is to the left and right of the fire box? Is it a recessed area to store wood or is it flush with the front of the fireplace? What material was used?

Hi. These alcoves are used as window seats without storage. The fire is gas so no need for wood.

I'm not referring to the window seats. I'm referring to the black area to the left and right of the firebox

@lisamarie1000 it looks like you've got quite a blank canvas to work with there but as well as giving lots of opportunities it can also be quite daunting if you don't know where to start. As a starting point I would look at where the sun falls in the garden as this can be important for growing vegetables and the greenhouse which need to be in as much sun as possible. Draw a plan to scale of the garden and use cut out shapes to represent the different areas (growing area, play area, sitting area etc.). You can place these on the plan and move them around until you get a layout that you are happy with. The size of the shapes needs to be big enough to represent what their use is. You can also base this on the dimensions of the house such as location of windows and doors. Try to avoid pushing everything to the edges as this can just draw attention to the boundaries and make the space feel small. Think about how you would move through the garden to get to the different areas. If you are going to have a path through, it will be more interesting if this isn't just a straight line down the middle. By making the route through have changes in direction you can add focal points (such as the apple tree) and make the garden seem bigger. If space is tight consider growing vegetables mixed in with ornamental plants so that the garden doesn't look like an allotment. Finally think about using screening with tall plants or trellis at various points so that you don't see the whole garden at once. This can also make the garden seem more interesting and enticing.

Love the begonia bush @ED:) Here’s phase 1 of my little reclaimed brick raised bed (still building the other half). My boys sunflowers (dwarf variety) are just starting to flower...an exciting time because we’ve been growing these from seed since February!

I think the long stairs window suits this house and personally I would change the proportions of the window to the left of the front door.... as you now seem to have done. I’m not sure that a living roof suits the front of this house and I would rather see a plain and modern flat roof. However softening the frontage with planting could look super
