Seeking help with making the downstairs more open plan
Comments (9)You could move the loo to the other side of what is now the kitchen and have it opening into the hall. You could then move the cupboard to beside it (opposite the front door) and then you could then have an open plan, L shaped room, which would give you options to either have a massive open plan area or perhaps close off a bit for an office and have an extension to give you space to combine your living area/dining room with a newly located kitchen....See MoreI have a ~15ftx10.5ft bedroom in dire need of a tidy up and re-design.
Comments (21)After many weeks of experimenting with furniture positions I have finally reached a conclusion which I'm happy with. I am selling the Ikea black desk which was too small and impractical for the room and replaced it with my old curved desk which now fits snugly in the South East corner of my room. I have also put the chest to good use which is now under the bed and will be replaced by 'weathered scaffold board' shelves on the South West wall which previously held my guitars. The guitars will be placed on the North East wall above my chest of drawers which are stacked and positioned next to the bed. I am still yet to decide however which wall should contain all of the photos and canvas'... Perhaps above the headboard. The speakers will be positioned accordingly once some shelves fill the South East corner wall above the desk and the 3 shelves have been positioned. The LP player along with the vinyls will be on the bottom shelf which is still in the process of design. Once this is complete.. I may have time to put hooks above Bob Marley's head for the cables.... If you believe I'm going the wrong direction with this please give me a shout. Pictures will be posted upon completion....See Moreflooring for a downstairs bedroom-options?
Comments (35)I got prices from a local supplier based on carpet/vinyl/laminate being around the £10-12 psqm price and they were all similar prices ie £280-300 inc fitting. However if I get laminate then of course my OH will expect me to fit it to save money, lol. I’m not sure I can face the extra job and vinyl is a no no now due to the floor not being quite level without boarding over it again (more cost) So if I do go for a carpet - being a downstairs room and probably having sports equipment in it as well (so likely to get walked on with shoes etc) .. should I go for the cheaper textured style they put in rentals?? I like the idea of texture and slight pattern and not fluffy carpet due to me having bad dust allergies... Any recommendations on what looks good and isn’t too pricey? Would have loved herringbone pattern but all so expensive...See MoreReconfiguration of downstairs in 2 bedroom home
