Hi Meera,

Thanks - they are wonderfully unusual and were purchased from Singapore.

Minton floor.....what curtains?????
Q
Comments (5)
It is a lovely floor and I can see a curtain keeping out a cold night. Since you have committed to blue with the stair carpet I say get curtains to match. Personally I would get a chunky painted wood pole and choose a plain fabric that disappears into the wall and keep the floor as the focal point. I would choose a plain heading, have the curtain blanket lined and just have one big curtain on the hinge side of the door. If you do like pattern I would use it with restraint and just add a little on the top few inches (probably using the top window as size inspiration).

HELP... ideas for modernising and improving our house frontage
Q
Comments (27)
Hi Ryan Absolutely love the exterior of your house, i've done a design i hope you like it. I have gone with a touch of modern but also in keeping with the original features and style and history of the house. I've gone for a more Georgian/Tudor door for you in black which i think accentuates the black tiling. You could just paint the door you have and add some DIY stained glass for the pannelling. Adding some lantern wall lights are a great idea to illuminate your entrance space in a safe and also decorative way. Think about adding Drive over lighting around your graveled area to help with parking. I think you should keep the white and exposed brick, maybe just a clean up with a power jet and then a paint should do the trick. I really think you should keep the black features, it adds contrast, so I've kept this in and chosen black outdoor lighting to compliment this. For the garden area I've chosen an alpine and topiary style, alpine succulents and cacti are really in at the moment so if you're wanting a more modern front then definitely go with alpine. Plus you can find some alpine succulents that have a hint of red in them which will compliment the red brick. You could also get some spike lights too, stick them amongst the plants to create a feature. Here are the products I have chosen: Colone Outdoor Lantern Bevelled Glass Wall Light Lantern - Black [Stanley Caspian Outdoor Surface Mount LED Drive Over Light, Black[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/stanley-caspian-outdoor-surface-mount-led-drive-over-light-black-prvw-vr~112925188) Georgian Front Door [Nelson Outdoor Adjustable Spike Light, Black[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/nelson-outdoor-adjustable-spike-light-black-prvw-vr~124908534) I hope this helps, let me know what you think. Kind Regards The Litecraft Team

Ground floor layout- comments please (open plan kitchen, utility&hall)
Q

Sorry- I don’t like your plan. In my opinion the space between the sink and hob is where the work happens so you are actually a bit tight for space. I think the door from the kitchen to the playroom is a massive fail- firstly you are inviting the kids to run past the cooking area, secondly is splits the kitchen and there are safety implication for having a walkway through the kitchen, I also think it makes your kitchen plan feel disjointed. I also think that if the children are young they won’t want to be in the playroom, they will want to be where you are. If you are worried about the playroom being dark this is easily sorted with better lighting and a pale coloured floor. Alternatively make this the grown up room and the kids playroom near the front door. I also think that putting the sitting area around the corner in the extension makes it feel enclosed and a little tight because of its location. I think you have put too many stools at the island and in reality people rarely use more than 3. In my opinion better to have fewer comfortable seats that are spread out with room to eat. I also think you missed an opportunity to have a cupboard near the front door to hide coats, shoes and a vacuum cleaner. I think that if you want an extra shower it may be easier to put this off the bootroom- a bigger utility/ bootroom area may help later to keep sports equipment/ dogs/ ironing etc etc out of sight. There is a privacy argument to put it where you have but I suspect the wall you have moved to take a corner off the kitchen is a job that will require a steel.

Transforming a kitchen to gain storage space but retain light?
Q
Comments (10)
Thanks Ed. I made the post a question purely to provoke interest and responses. I absolutely love it but much more importantly so does the client. The idea with a post like this is just to gauge other peoples opinions. It is usually frowned upon to brick up windows and doors if you want to create a light and airy space however roof lanterns are fantastic things. Especially in north facing rooms where they often let in more light than a window.
