Hi :)
We are looking into purchasing this penthouse however I have a dilemma of whether the open plan is big enough to fit the kitchen, living and dining table. It measure 5.43 x 3.94.
Any ideas pls?

Have you thought of rearranging the furniture so the tv isn't the focal point? Furniture against walls can make a room appear smaller. If the budget permits I would add a coffee table to bring furniture into the middle of the room. I would also add a mirror to the dining area to bounce light and maybe install a low hanging pendant light over the table. I would also choose a neutral coloured rug as using a single colour for an item becomes the focal point. Grey is a good modern neutral for walls. If you want to use paper on a smaller wall choose a small pattern that won't date unless you don't mind repapering to keep it up to date. There are some really fantastic papers around at the moment such as chinoiserie, bold contemporary and typography but it depends on your preferred style? Maybe use plain (not patterned as this may date or your taste will change) velvet or silk curtains to soften the room. Use different colours and textures for the accessories to avoid block colours as per comment above. Pattern/interest can also be added in the form of wall art.

We have two spaces like that in our house. One area has been our "music room plus playroom" and when the kids are older we expect it will be our "music room plus library". There is an upright piano in it, lots of shelves and toy storage, and a big rug in the middle, where we have a child-size table for lots of drawing, lego etc. We push the table out of the way, when they want to make train tracks or play Twister or whatever. The other area is part of a renovation we are currently building. We are going to make it an inviting area for homework, with zoned desk-spaces for each child. When the kids are older we expect it will become the hobby area (i.e. surface area that we don't have to clear away every time we want to eat). If we didn't have a small study upstairs, I would also be pleased to use one of these spaces as home-headquarters. i.e. with filing cabinets for all the family files that have to be kept. We are inundated with paper - re insurance, receipts, passports, medical, utilities. All very boring in my opinion but needs to be kept somewhere, just in case. Home-HQ also stores printer paper, the family printer, ink cartridges, photos, stationery, various cords and old charging devices, wrapping paper, spare cards, 'presents' for other people drawer. In our case, home-HQ is not as tidy as I would like. There are always piles of paper about this that or the other thing - generally about the kids' activities, or some building work, or ideas for a holiday one day in the future. These piles sit around for a long time, waiting to be filed. I like to have an area where they can 'sit' that isn't the hallway or kitchen. Maybe some of these ideas might resonate with you.

Hi Subedi, May I ask what exactly is your project? The picture is for the existing plans, right? So at the moment there is only bedrooms and bathroom. When you say manage the top floor as kitchen, dining and living room do you mean that you are planning to change the top floor entirely? Enjoy your day, Schmidt Dorking Team
