Hi
We are having a new floor fitted next to this parquet. I’m not sure which one to go with . The wall colour will be drop cloth , so do I go with contrast or a similar shade to dropcloth ? I like warm colours hence the similar floor and wall colour ! Thank you

Help In which order please ??
Comments (6)I would completely agree with the comments above! We started a major renovation 6 months ago and got a concept planner / interior designer on board right at the start and it was the best thing we could possibly have done. She helped us work with structural engineers and an architect to get what we needed for the builders, but helped us avoid going down a very expensive route with an architect involving having a full survey (just a scale drawing of the whole house that they wanted before they'd do the drawing of what we needed) Our concept planner / interior designer helped us look at the space and maximise what we had (not get carried away about adding lots of bits as Man About The House mentions above). She provided different options for layouts and flow of how the space would be used and really challenged our thinking (in a very positive way!) She was also an absolute life saver in terms of helping us understand what to do when and in what order with all the different trades- I would never have known how early on in the process you needed a lighting plan, never mind how to create one and in what format to give to an electrician! She saved us large amounts of money by providing lighting plans and carpentry specifications, so we knew exactly what we needed and could give a proper brief to the different trades, rather than changing bits midway through, which is when the budget tends to creep up and out of control. She also got amazing trade discounts and passed them all onto us, which made a big difference to our costs- everything from the kitchen to underfloor heating and right through to doors and lighting! Just worth mentioning that our interior designer was able to offer the concept planning service, including all 3D images and video tours but then in addition all of the advice on colour plans and interior fixtures and fittings. This is quite a personal choice and you may only want the concept planning- for a small extra amount (which we definitely got back through all the trade discounts and accurate specs to give to trades) we chose to take the next step up to interior designer as I wanted to make sure that everything 'pulled together'. I had seen to many super practical schemes that looked just a little bit 'flat' and I wasn't confident I had the skills to pull the whole look together without a bit of help! More than anything we have had someone super knowledgeable and helpful on hand 24/7 (quite literally!) for any and every silly little question or wobble that I had. She's made the whole process enjoyable and taken away a lot of the anxiety and uncertainty of decisions. She's also stopped me making a lot of rookie mistakes :) Just to give you an idea in onr part of the house she's helped us achieve; we started with three separate rooms and have ended up with one large kitchen / diner / pantry. We'd never done anything more than a bit of decorating before and whilst I'm sure we'd have got done without her help, I'm 100% sure it would have cost us a lot more money, it wouldnt have been half as much fun and it definitely wouldn't look how it looks now! Hope it helps! Best wishes, Claire...See MoreWhich floor plan do you guys prefer?
Comments (3)Ideally I wouldn’t have guests walking through the utility to use the loo and I think you’ll find doing laundry would be easier having a door from the hall. However in option 2, 1m is very tight as the loo would need to go on the long wall, could you not pinch some space from the utility?...See MoreWhich colour wood/laminate flooring ?

Comments (24)Trina, you asked "The front windows measuring from the sill are 75cm above the ground. Is this sufficient height for lower kitchen units? " Depending on the kitchen manufacturer, you can get lower units which will sit the worktop at around 75cm, though this is too low to use as "prep space" or to have a hob. But it can be done. We have in the past done worktops that sit a little higher than window level, and have left a smaller "shelf" at window level next to the window into which pots or small troughs for kitchen herbs were put, which can be a useful way to tackle this challenge....See Moreaustralasia78

4 years agoHi beano
Do you mean on this photo the top of middle ? I will after reading your reply get a full size you’re absolutely right. I’m so surprised no one thinks a contrast is best ? I thought that was number one design rule - but then I’m not an Interior designer .... thanks
