Tiling Design Idea for kitchen diner
Comments (2)It would depend on the layout of the space as to whether you'd want to lay a diamond. I often like the look of something that is off set or on an angle if the area is running between two different shaped areas. It sounds like it would be if it's a hallway into a kitchen. My only worry would be if the idea of a black taco piece against a light tile might be a bit strong across that sort of area if you're going for a contemporary look. I've attached a tile pattern which can be quite useful. We did it with a 60x60 tile and small 1x1 glass mosaic of a similar colour for a very subtle, yet contemporary pattern....See Morewhat colour to paint living area in open plan kitchen diner?
Comments (3)thanks for commenting. i've now decided to go with fnb Joa's white for the living aea. its a greyish cream which i think will be light, warm and cosey without clashing with the other colours. i didn't initially think cream would work as my base throughout the house is light grey, but its quite a greyish toned cream and fits well the cream carpets throughout house :) Kitchen being fitted today. exciting to have it all come together now....See MoreHelp/ideas to make kitchen/diner
Comments (8)I agree with Jen P, if you need to leave that bit but the other nibs can go then I would try incorporating it into your design. it could hold a small breakfast bar style section on the kitchen side and art work on the dining side. Embrace it and use it to zone the areas. As Jonathan suggested, you need to start by working out what can happen with the walls and if permissions are needed, then when you start designing the kitchen itself I would look at how you can use it within the design. To answer your original question - Yes - If this were mine, or belonged to one of my clients I would make it into a gorgeous kitchen/diner that you can enjoy not only when entertaining but everyday!...See MoreHELP!!

Comments (4)First of all your room is lovely and I'm reluctant to suggest anything, as I love walnut and I love walnut with white. I can see that you would like to get a softer effect however, and I think you can do this with a relatively small amount of effort. First off - do you want to embrace the darkness of the dining area? If you want a clear separation between the two spaces you can achieve this by painting the dining area a different colour, which will have the effect of shortening the long appearance of the room and making the dining area more intimate and cosy. If this is your only eating space, though, you might find a dark colour a little oppressive during the day (personally I'd love it - my living room is dark green!). I wouldn't use a patterned wall paper in this space, as I'm struggling to decide which wall I would use as a feature wall. Papering a side wall might bring pull it in visually and make the space seem longer and narrower. Colour-wise I love indigo and brass/gold with walnut and a dark, blue-based colour will make the room seem intimate and expansive at the same time. Sometimes the wall with an extractor recess above a hob can look nice in a feature colour, but I can't really see yours from your photo. BUT you could pretty much leave the decor intact and bring some colour and texture in with soft furnishings and accessories. I like your blinds, perhaps you can soften them and add a feature at the dining room end by adding floor length curtains? Maybe just fixed for show. You could stand your dining suite on a flat weave rug and add a large mirror to one wall to reflect the light around the room. Curtains and/or rug would allow you to use some pattern. Alternatively swap out your blinds for softer looking fabric roman blinds. Add the odd accessory with warm metals or bright colour. Suggestion above. Hope this helps a bit :)...See MoreLauren Baxter
