Need help for my period London Flat
Comments (14)I've been mulling over this one too ! I think if I, as in me personally, were living here, I would put a Murphy bed in the top left corner of the lounge - so I'd wake up with the sun coming in ... I'd put a run of ceiling high wardrobes with rolling ladder along the right lounge wall to the new door ... ( so it would look like enclose library cupboards ) I'd put tall integrated FF, oven and tall store cupboard the other side of the fire place ( to match the closed Murphy bed ) I'd knock down the bedroom /kitchen wall have an island for my sink / hob and to eat at - I'd put an L shape sofa in front of the fire, floated in the middle of the room as would need to be cosy - it's a NE facing room remember - then in the old bedroom space is have shower where the old entrance was, opening into the loo area . ( you could possibly put a bath with shower over - but it would feel a bit too enclosed for me ) I'd straighten the loo wall to the window and replace opening door with sliding one . And I'd have a second seating area in the old bedroom that will be the sunniest spot all afternoon and evening ... Perhaps have a sofa bed in that spot . I doubt that it would increase the value though ! As would loose the classification that a separate bedroom brings... But use the best of the natural light that makes living nicer ! Adding an incredibly rough sketch as I'm mad busy at the moment - but as you asked specifically - I wanted to make sure I responded ....See MoreVictorian flat kitchen renovation on a budget- advice in London
Comments (31)Good news that a builder is coming over. I suspect all the green walls I have drawn are originals and can’t be changed without permission- you can probably tell by their thickness relative to thinner partition walls but it would be good to check. As Bobby said you need to know where the buildings soil pipes are because this will dictate where you can put a wc. There may however be more than one- I suspect your wc pipes go under the kitchen and exit near the kitchen window. 1- get the builder to tell you if there is any extra bit to the left of your kitchen window that has been hidden behind boxing- extra square footage is nearly always useful. Are there original doorways (2 & 3) that could be reinstated- look for telltale signs in the skirting board, flooring, hollow walls where an opening has just been boarded over, door shaped cracks in the decorating etc....See MoreMassive renovation project - floor plan dilemma 1 flat vs 2
Comments (71)Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing well wherever you are but I bet everyone's busy at this time of the year. I have been a busy bee myself and learned how to use Homestyler but I must say it's a painful and slow process. I have been obsessed with the floor plan of the small flat for the past week as the time has come to finalize it with the new team. We'll be around 2 months behind the plan which is fine. So I made the decision to not have a loft in the small flat because the floorplan I chose seems to work well with loads of storage. Please excuse some of the furniture such as the kitchen and the colour of the large cabinet, they will be white but Homestyler is quite limited so I had to chose from whatever they had in store. Let me know what you think of the floor plan please. I'm happy with it so far. I'll send you links to short panoramic videos Honestlyler created which was a godsend as that'd exactly what I wanted to see, at least approximately how my flat would look like. I really wanted visualise what to expect. The videos are pretty much the same but starting from different angles of the 30sqm flat.

Comments (16)Hi, I can say from my own experience that the floor plan was crucial in visualising the layout of our new space and deciding where to place furniture, appliances and other key elements. In the beginning it all started with choosing a flat, we were lucky enough to find one on Rentola , bought in a good neighbourhood at a good price. Then we started by taking detailed measurements of each room and creating a basic plan of the existing layout. Then together with the architect we created a detailed floor plan including all the changes we wanted to make. The floor plan included important details such as the location of electrical outlets and switches, as well as the location of doors and windows. We also decided to make some significant changes to the layout of the room, including taking down some walls to create an open concept living room and adding a second bathroom. Overall, creating a detailed floor plan was an important part of our flat renovation project. It helped us visualise the end result and make informed decisions throughout the process. If you are considering a home renovation project, I would definitely recommend taking the time and effort to create a detailed floor plan. This will make the whole process much smoother and more enjoyable in the long run....See MoreS Wall
