Not sure what it's actually like inside, but I had an ugly fireplace to deal with in one of my houses in England, and since removing it wasn't in the budget at the time, I found a piece of artwork I liked that fit into the opening framed and stuck that in it, then put a plant on the hearth just in front and to one side of the artwork to give it a little bit of life/color/dimension. I do like the whiteboard idea, but you can also do colored chalkboard paint, if you want to add something other than black. Maybe pick out a color from the tiles and fit the new board a little better so it's nicely framed by the existing tile surround? (You do need to keep it a fairly dark color so the chalk shows, but it looks like there's a nice dark blue/green you could use based on the tiles? My laptop's color display is in 'night' mode so I can't tell exactly what shade the tiles are atm. They look sort of teal-ish to me. :) )

Hi there, difficult to tell too much from the photo, but my guess is it is currently creams and dark browns. Aubergine is a good suggestion, with a hint of olive or (if you're brave!) lime green for a dash of subtle contrast (don't overdo it). Anther palette which works will with these base colours is peacock blue/teal with little splashes of copper and iridescent green. I'd try to get a hint of metallic threads in somewhere, and if it weren't for your feature wallpaper (with which it would clash), I'd add some bold Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired curtains for texture and a touch of drama!

Hi Helen, The garden looks fairly large - you could extend outwards? A ground floor rear extension, get rid of the sun room, install velux windows or skylights, some bi-folding doors and you would have a really bright, spacious lounge. If money/building regulations permit, you could extend upwards also? If this would not be possible, extend the first floor outwards at the rear to create two more bedrooms (where the attic room is). As Gabby mentioned, you can now get modular extensions and loft conversions which cause minimal disruption - entire rooms are designed and built off-site then installed over a number of days. A very time efficient solution but not as cost effective - they are pricey! The leading company for these is Moduloft, I believe. I have no direct experience with this type of conversion myself, but know this method is rising in popularity. In terms of the ground floor, the kitchen looks to occupy a very small space currently. I don't know your feelings on open plan but you could knock down the walls between the lounge and the kitchen, and bedroom 1 and the lounge to create a large, open plan living space. You could arrange it so that your new kitchen-dining space are where the current kitchen and dining room are, and the living room is in the space where bedroom 1 is. This would allow for the living room to feel like a separated little nook while still being part of a larger, open plan room. In terms of the exterior - there are countless possibilities. Replacing windows with some in a more contemporary style (e.g. grey upvc), replacing the door and repainting the exterior are the simplest but most appearance-altering. I have attached a picture to illustrate what I envisage a rear extension with the velux/bifolding doors combo I suggested looking like - good luck with everything!

Product Design - best subject ever ;) As to your project - are you talking about a permanent fixture or something that could be mobile? Who are you aiming this product at - people who potter, or professionals? Is it a luxury product or a more economical model? Could it be a modular piece that could be added to in stages? What will it hold - full size rakes, forks, spades etc or just hand tools, or both? Could the working element (fork/rake etc) be interchangable with a single handle? Think about how that might work (or not) practically. Go to a few garden centres, see how they display their garden tool ranges - notice how some more luxury models are displayed differently to the regular models - what makes the difference? Take photos. Document the research. And talk to a few gardeners - what tools do they use the most? (Me - the secateurs, rake and the bin/wheelbarrow). Make up a simple questionairre, distribute it to friends and neighbours (or their parents!) Perhaps list a couple of rough options to choose from and get participants to choose a favourite, giving reasons why. As good quality tools can lifetime they would be considered naturally environmentally friendly - avoid plastic if possible or practical. Oh and make sure you presention boards & documents are flawless. Check that spelling. Use lots of illustrations and diagrams. Show it’s an amazing product - it should sell itself. Hope this helps a little - good luck with the project! (Product Design BSc Hons)
