No - you posted a great thread ! It looks a lovely light room - the design is balanced and looks attractive ! Have you chosen your range cooker yet ? Some have specific guides to how close the chimney can or can't be and some have guides about items projecting over them too - Worth checking before you order anything ! English revival do a glass sided wall cabinet that might work well in the top right wall unit - might be worth upgrading to that range for your two glass cabinets, as its part of the same company so most dealers would be able to offer this I imagine. That way you will get a bit more light through . Position your window blind /Romans etc higher than the window so most of the fabric sits against the wall not covering the window blocking the light !

Hi Nessieh, I'm adding it again - without the marketing note at the bottom - which, as far as I've been aware since helping on here back in 2013, is allowed, as it shows the value of the advice offered if you were to be paying for it. So given there are only a few measurements on here - this is a quick sketch of how I might suggest the space be used - obviously I know nothing about you / your family etc - but I'm guessing by your name you are perhaps in Scotland ? Double ( glass if allowed- I don't know how many floors your home has ) doors into kitchen - with small desk and lamp to the side - or additional coat storage if under stairs isn't sufficient. Bank of pantry storage drawers at rear of peninsula - cooking and prep space other side of peninsula - suitable walk/work gap between worktops - then tall units either side of slightly smaller window - that's lined up with new entrance doors - sink under window ... the tall units could either be integrated Fridge and separate freezer at each end - or FF and oven housing - depends on your needs etc. (This is just a rough draft ) The utility I've opening into the boot room to give better crouch space in front of appliances - and I've enlarged the loo to give it its own sink for hygiene ! If fireplace won't be used then a chair could accompany a large sofa and pair of lamp tables. A dining table could be placed near the glazed doors looking out to garden when in use - or pushed to the wall for a better view from sofa when not in use ... Hope this helps !

Hi, I like the look of a single bank of units against a wall with a large island in front. You could then position your table in front of the island or looking out to the garden. You could also create a more zoned kitchen diner with an l-shaped kitchen and island and a dining area elsewhere.... It would help if you have a copy of the floorplan.

Hi everybody, thank you so much for your help! I quite like the idea of a warm grey, as Steven suggested. We haven't really considered glass splashback, Shaun, we were set on tiles, but I'll be going out this weekend and would certainly look at both, hopefully come back with a few samples. Minnie, I really like the tiles and rug you've chosen. We had a rug under the coffee table, that was lighter, it didn't last! I think we will need something more hardwearing. I would love to have a plant on the left of the TV, but unfortunately the radiator is there. I might have to look for a plant that enjoys the heat! I had initially chosen a shelf to go above the TV and it was long and white and it just didn't look right. I'll try again with smaller staggered ones. The mirrors above the dining table were from the old layout and I tried to find a use for them but I can see how a nice picture would work better. The pink cushions are really nice, Carolina. We only kept the grey ones because they came with the sofa. I know what you mean about the chair under the stairs. We do pull it out whenever someone comes over and can sit around the table. Even if it blocks the walkway while it's being used! :)) I will get to work and come back with more photos :)
