I am in the process of redoing the sitting room in a 1930s house....beautiful spaces but a bit mean when it comes to light fittings. Currently avoiding any floorboards lifting etc, so instead of having recessed light in the ceilings am thinking of adding some recessed lights in the floor ( add a layer of light at floor level and would be good to highlight some art on the wall.) This is doable as the flooring is being changed......any ideas how to go about this please?

We are delighted to say our recent interior design project has been a fabulous success. A secluded villa situated in the heart of Provence in southern France required a uniqueness of character, with both the client and the local region in mind. We accomplished our brief and provided our client with an intimate, luxuriously comfortable family home, portraying our client's warm, creative personality and their love of the colours of Provence. https://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/2603759/our-recent-interior-design-project-the-colours-of-provence A year in the making, requiring meticulous organisation from within the UK, USA, Italy and France, bringing together all manner of furniture and TV designers, bespoke furniture makers, soft furnishing suppliers and luxury lighting manufacturers. It was a challenge we embraced wholeheartedly. Our profession is interior design and we create beautiful spaces for individuals, Everyone is different, and we never forget a house is more than just exclusive furnishings. It's a home, a sanctuary, a place where memories are made, and where we laugh and cry. Our client is thrilled with the results, and we know we have made a unique space, now its up to them to make it a home. Listening to clients requirements to realise their dreams? Its fundamental! https://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/2603759/our-recent-interior-design-project-the-colours-of-provence https://www.juliettesinteriors.co.uk/

"Conservatory-type" is a great way to describe it. The structure had a polycarbonate roof with part-uPVC, part-solid siding, if that makes sense. With the new improvements, it's now a proper extension!

How to choose architect

Hi Emily, I do see your dilemma and you are right to be cautious. I see this situation with clients all the time. FEES I have been designing for 30 years and still find it difficult to discuss fees so I tend to get it out of the way as soon as possible. I don't charge for the first visit, its for me to see and understand the job and for the client to meet me and see if they like my ideas. (Never underestimate your gut feelings when you meet an architect/designer, the working relationship is crucial.) I put in a fixed fee in writing immediately after the meeting, if the client sees value in my fee I get the job, if they don't they have had the benefit of my advice and they can keep looking for the right person. This is the nature of the business. ARCHITECT OR INTERIOR DESIGNER This is more difficult than it sounds. Ideally you need an interior architect, ie someone that understands interiors and has the knowledge to design the building around an agreed interior theme allowing for layout, lighting and aesthetic. (or an architectural practice that has an in-house interior designer) Always ask to see their portfolio to ensure their work is to the standard you expect and that their style is suitable for your taste. If they can't show you this don't use them. Always ask if they can illustrate their ideas, sounds obvious but its important. Any extension or building alteration is a big investment for the client and as such the client should be in a position where they can see and understand exactly what is being suggested. Plans and elevations are great for technical solutions but this should be backed up with a 3D model so you can see the extension in relation to the house and also see the interior space with furniture so you can understand the layout, style and light quality. SUMMARY Employ someone you like and have confidence in. See samples of their work. Agree a fee you're comfortable with from day one. Hope that helps. Regards, Martin www.angel-martin.com

Thanks! The longer bench has reinforcing bits halfway down. We build them from the front to the back so all screws are hidden.
