Snug room
Comments (8)Hi Kate. Again, I think it's a lovely room! What exactly don't you like or want to change? Personally I'd swap the table for a side end table that runs the length of the sofa arm. I'd pull the pull sofa away from the wall just a few inches and add a more classical arc lamp than the one shown. I might paint the pipes in the wall colour just up to the point where they go into the ceiling. Would also paint the radiator in the wall colour so it blends it. For the alcove I'd paint it in a warm dark grey, something like farrow and ball charleston grey could work. I'd try and source some slim trunks to sit under the tv. You could also add a tall sculpture or vase on one side. I'd also add some stems in the vase on the windowsill. I really like the blue art but don't feel it sits well in the room. I personally wouldn't add downlighters. Perhaps swap the pendant for something which emits more light? I assume the quarry tiles are also in the kitchen. It may be a decision based on budget for the entire downstairs?...See MoreHelp/Ideas with new kitchen/diner/snug
Comments (11)Thought I might demonstrate why a concept planner is such a good idea:- If you add an extension, you have to think how you are going to use the space, what you need in it compared to what you'd like in an ideal world. Adding the full width extension and not changing anything else, I don't think will work. It leaves so much 'dead space'. You could move the table in to the extension, and add more kitchen? but you've got no wall for a t.v . Plus, the kitchen remains inadequate. So:- Currently the kitchen is small................you could do with a utility room for a growing family as well as the downstairs toilet. The plan has to show the nibs in the wall that the steel sits on holding up the outside wall, and the room has to work around these. If you go with completely open plan, it's hard to place a sofa and have a comfortable T.V area, because it cuts down on the number of available walls for furniture. Thus, in my opinion creating corners is essential. It's a proven fact that 92% of the time, the doors will be shut. The doors are expensive and whilst they let in a lot of light which is good, they take away furniture space. So, I began to think about a Utility, bigger kitchen, dining space, t.v space etc...........and, bearing in mind, I am no expert in this field, I came up with this as a rough idea...........it 's a big leap from the space there at the moment, but if you're going to all that expense, then it should be worth the end product. I am sure a proper concept planner would think of all sorts of ideas. so this is just an artist impression of what might be possible. I cut down on the bi-folds and added a more private T.V area with wall space for the T.V a niche for the sofa, dining table etc. Gained more kitchen space and an all important separate Utility....See MoreHelp with ground floor layout please...... playroom, snug or study?
Comments (19)We did love some of the suggestions above… but stuck with our original plan! Although we did change the kitchen layout from U-shaped to ”farmhouse” style, with the table in the middle and sink under the window overlooking the garden. The old dining room has become an office with two desks - partly due to COVID and the need to work from home and homeschool etc! We have also moved a lot of the children’s toy storage in here although they still bring things into the main lounge to play where there’s more room. At 8 and 5, they also actually now keep and play with a lot of toys in their rooms, so I think the old dining room will remain as more of a computer and homework room - it’s nice being able to shut the door! The ”study” on the plan is very much a workshop/gym/play room for my husband! We didnt want to sacrifice that space. It might turn into a teenage den later on perhaps, or even a downstairs bedroom for my Nan. The small upstairs bedroom has become a second office as I’m also still working from home (and my husband has too many meetings downstairs!). It houses our sofa bed too so acts as a spare room and my space to do yoga and sewing. Overall, we are pleased with how everything turned out. We quite like the option to have space away from each other and the flexibility to change the use of the different rooms. We do all spend a lot time together in either the kitchen or main lounge as plenty of space in both....See Morekitchen floor ideas to compliment dark parquet in joining sitting room
Comments (4)The image shows two slightly different floors and I don’t think that looks terrible. However the advice stands to consider an LVT such as Karndean for practical reasons you need a hardwearing floor in a kitchen and since it isn’t brittle like ceramic tiles, isn’t cold like stone, it’s say to clean with a steam mop meaning no need for chemicals, and it’s easy to make a repair if you ever managed to damage it (which isn’t easy)....See Morerinked
