Struggling to choose a grey for the bedroom
Comments (32)Sounds fab! Look forward to seeing the end result! Just realised I still haven't posted any photos...oops lol. We're actually in the process of buying a new home and we're already dead set on doing grey in the bedroom again so I'll certainly be checking out some of these other shade recommendations before jumping straight back in to bed with Warm Pewter (even though I love it). I like to scope out my options as much as possible...probably why I take 10x longer making a decision!...See MoreI am struggling to place furniture
Comments (7)I agree, the dining table and chairs are OK where they are; the problem seems to be with the sitting area. You should definitely bring in some plants and artwork/ photos. Perhaps put a 'gallery wall' of photos or art above where the sofa is currently. I would put low bookcases or perhaps a console table with lamps in against the walls in this corner and 'float' the seating furniture out, away from the walls. It may seem counter-intuitive but sometimes floating furniture more into the middle of an area can make it seem bigger, even if it means you can't walk straight through in a beeline to the kitchen. I think the main problem with the space is that the large through-way is actually dominating the space and making the centre of the room feel vacant. Experiment with rearranging the sofa and chairs to see what works best. Be bold and bring it right out into the middle and, if that doesn't work, take it further back. You may be surprised at what works well. It's also nice to put the sofa and chairs sort of facing each other (you could angle the chairs a little if you like. You could even angle the sofa!). I read somewhere recently that if furniture is placed in a 'conversational' position, it will seem more inviting and will encourage sociability....See MoreStruggling with best layout
Comments (8)Hi Andrew. You can't expand the pic so can't read the measurements. Structural/utility potential issues aside, I would block off the lounge and purple dining area. The dining area become play room with toy storage on the lounge wall and sliding doors to the existing kitchen (keeping the chimney wall). In the existing kitchen I'd have an L shaped banquette in the top left corner with table. Have a single run of kitchen units running from the music room to the peach dining area on the rhs with an island in front. Install bifolds or French doors on the music room wall with island seating at that end. Use the dining room for an extra seating area and the lounge remains as a lounge. I'd also in put double doors from the hall so you have a view from the front door all the way out to the back...See MoreHelp! Struggling to uniform front of our Victorian terrace.
Comments (24)I'm thinking off white or a very light grey for the brickwork including the bricked up porch. Slate roof on the porch and wooden door to save money. Dark grey on the fence. And use planting to disguise the current render around the window and to add colour. Pub side, pleaching trees look like a great idea though would need to ensure they don't grow roots into the house. I feel so much more confident now. Thank you all....See Morei-architect
