Garden ideas welcome!
Comments (0)We have a blank canvas! We have recently moved into a new build with a small patio just outside the patio doors (where the first photos are taken from) the garden isn’t huge but a nice size. It is being rotivated and soil added to level it. We also have small space behind both garages which are at either corner of the first photos. I LOVE the garden, and can not wait to have one that we can use! We might turf it to start and monitor the sun movement throughout our first summer to see how best to utilise the space. I am thinking of a patio across the bottom (by the fence) and putting a small shed into the larger space behind the garage but any ideas would be greatly welcomed as I bt no means am great at garden design! Thanks in advance!...See MoreKitchen layout stress! Ideas welcome...
Comments (13)Hi all thank you so much for these comments. My mum (who is in her 60s!) has mainly helped with the design - combined with reviewing a lot of mags & brochures. Interestingly (like Richard’s comment) she is strongly against the built in casing for the fridge freezer... perhaps I’ll flip it round so it’s on the other side & allow some room so if needs be it can be less “built in”. I am concerned a lot of key things are bunched around that little section, one door (opposite the window) is the entrance to the room. The other door, at 90 degrees to it is the utility room which I’m thinking will not be that busy.... Charlotte your comments re range & extractor hood are super helpful & I’ll have a look on the website too :) plus speak with hubby about your suggestion of a call to get a proper / more considered design done. Thank you :) One Plan I’m sorry I totally missed pointing that out - we had the builders take out that pillar. The doors are as shown though. I’ve taken some photos which may help (excuse the mess!) I honestly hadn’t thought about the DW being a trip hazard, bugger. We’ve had the floor concreted down but it’s not tiled so wonder if we can get some plumbing in still to accommodate a sink & potentially DW elsewhere... Kwg also making me think very differently re trying to move more into the other wall area! We’d thought people would sit round the island there which is why the wine fridge & rack was put close by! We went into Harvey Jones & they have prepared the drawings based on the ones we’d done...we were there a couple of hours & we’re pleased to see it marked out properly! Although they don’t do a CAD image which was a bummer when we found out! I’ve had a look online though & think I can do one myself... just need to reassess the layout I think! On budget, that’s a sticky subject as it just keeps getting higher! Would having the mantle done be a job for the builders if we did have it built in like the gorgeous photos hock79 found? Who does that? I really am incredibly grateful for all your help guys, thank you! B...See MoreIdeas welcome for front garden raised bed
Comments (17)Sorry it’s a bit late, I’ve just seen this post. Adding to the above suggestions (I’m a lazy gardener) whatever you plant, to make an impact, create a pattern, just 2 types alternating, one taller than the other or mirror the design start at each end with a tall plant and work inwards to shorter ones or vice versa but paint the fence first. I’d keep it minimal too, plenty of space between the plants and add bark or gravel over weed suppression fabric. Trust me it saves loads of time over the year, we had a large shaded patch at the front of our house which we eventually (after 10 years of weeding ) replaced with 3 plants in the middle (holly and a hebe either side) and some bark surrounded by turf. 2 years on and I’ve only needed to pull out a small occasional weed....See MoreAny ideas welcomed
Comments (7)You’ve definitely come up with a “wow” 🥰 layout. The master room with the dressing room, m/en-suite would be stunning. I also love the kitchen layout. The space seems to work a lot better with the units on the left hand side. The cost of moving the plumbing & electrics would be my only concern - I don’t know why the building company didn’t go with your layout....See MoreLau
