Comments (8)I love them. If budget only allows for some now then go for it and focus on the main living rooms. I put cast iron rads in my basement conversion last year but the main part of the house just has the "modern" ones other than the bathroom which we didn't do! It's only the same as when fireplaces are stripped from bedrooms but tend to remain in living areas. Do also think though about what you like and improvements for resale ,My brother had a victorian house and installed cast iron throughout spending a fortune but didn't really make any money back....See MoreWhat's happened to the Houzz UK home page???
Comments (4)Thanks for the tips; I stopped using the US site when it changed to this layout because: I now need two extra clicks (Stories > Latest from Houzz) to find the general feed of stories or, on my 'home page', I have to scroll and search for the stories hidden between the photos. If my 'personalised home page' shows mostly what I choose to see, how will I stumble across interesting ideas, decor etc that I would never have thought of, broaden my horizons, be exposed to new things? Over-personalisation is a bubble of insulation from new ideas. I will try to become accustomed, although this feels like a step backward....See MoreWhat’s your favourite home decor style
Comments (14)Great topic! I aspire to being happy with what I choose. I love all styles and admire confidence and quirkiness. I also love advice. I would however expect a visitor to my home to say I’m more in the traditional camp rather than the on trend camp. We’ve just started using MSTeams at work and I’m surprised at the number of colleagues who’s rooms are completely white/neutral ( not fake backgrounds). I was the only one sitting in a blue room....See MoreHelp with extension/facelift to 1950s house (UK)
Comments (30)Hi Sorry to wade in again. I've not read everything above, just some. But you can get away with 1700mm head height at the centre of the top step to a single bedroom in the loft. I have done this before and the BCO accepted my proposal due to 'physical and financial restraints'. Alternatively if you want to achieve 1800 or 1900, put a rooflight above the head of the stairs and then you have additional head height. However, there is a hip rafter which will be deep running across the head of the stair! If the loft is only going to be a bedroom you can use a short step staircase like on a ship. and position it in another location on the first storey so it access the loft with better head room. Alternatively rearrange the first storey to have a staircase access the second storey in another location. Possibly the bathroom or an en-suite. Otherwise, without faffing around with the building a lot just to find extra head room to shoe horn a staircase in, You will need to alter the roof above the staircase where it is currently shown. But you have that hip rafter in the way so that needs to be taken care of to free up the roof for a dormer extension. Otherwise the suggestion above with an image of a steep gable to the front and back would allow more scope for a normal staircase to function. I would say the second floor layout needs to change to allow a staircase up to the loft with headroom at 1800. This would be the cheapest and lease disruptive option. Considering you are altering the first floor anyway. I just think the layout needs to be tweaked....See MoreRichard L
