Need help with open plan kitchen dining/living space
Comments (24)It could be an idea to demarcate the kitchen using the floor, rather than by using furniture - the easiest and cheapest way would be a rug of suitable material. If the area is demarcated there isn't as pressing a need to put something there, like an island or table. It also preserves the sense of open space - you said the room was small overall, so it's important not to crowd it with furniture. Then the furniture you do have can be spaced out, so you can have a larger sitting area. A round table would be good in the corner by the door. Round because as Minnie said it takes less space. A glass table would be best as it is see-through and preserves a sense of space. Round is also good because it adds softness - the rest of the room is going to have square or rectangular lines to it. The dining table could also be the desk. An alternative would be a coffee table in the sitting area that converts into a desk - if you google "coffee table and desk" you will see some really cool examples. I don't know how to copy and post the images, so you will have to search it, sorry! Corner TV - I have the same problem. I'm considering a wall mount. This saves space, but you do have to consider the wiring, and where to put digital boxes etc. Good luck!!

Comments (21)Hi there, When it comes to engineered wooden floors they have been designed to work in conjunction with under floor heating so there is no issue there. If you are looking to go for a wooden floor then we would recommend going for an engineered board with a brushed and lacquered finish. The brushed texture will hide and scratches or scuffs that may occur, the lacquer on the board. Generally our boards come with 8 coats of Super Matte Lacquer. The lacquer will help protect the board from any spillages seeping into the board. If you have an idea of the colour you would be looking to go for we would be more than happy to suggest some suitable products. We also have some very realistic laminate Flooring by Kronoswiss. The Kronoswiss origins ranges comes in at 14mm thick. It is An AC5 Grade, each laminate is graded between AC1 - AC5. AC5 being the most durable. These boards have been designed to take heavy traffic. The origins range comes with the new Aqua stop technology, stopping spillages from seeping into the board for up to 72 hours. Giving reassurance if any spillages do happen. Here are some of the boards from the Origins range. This is the Kronoswiss Rock Oak Kronoswiss Moon Kronoswiss Sunset. See full range here. If you do have any further queries or suggest a colour of flooring we will try our best to point you in the right directions. You can either give us a call on 0141 8875 5698 or you can drop us an email at info@floormonster.co.uk kind Regards, Floor Monster Team...See MoreOpen plan room dining table
Comments (3)Have you considered a marble tulip table? Many styles of chairs go with them and you can obviously tuck the chairs right under. https://onske.co.uk/products/marble-tulip-dining-table-carrara-marble?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&cmp_id=247155883&adg_id=16969790683&kwd=&device=t&gclid=CjwKCAjwq57cBRBYEiwAdpx0vTfZ9qWRiYHoBmIJ5u8P5GqDpJJOH1uTsGBtP8QUNOSyXmUqkV_-5hoCO3YQAvD_BwE...See MoreLiving room design around this sofa!

Comments (5)With such a neutral backdrop (oak floor, grey/white unit, and grey sofa) you could go in any direction with colour. I think you need to understand whether your sofa is a 'warm' grey or a 'cool' grey and then go in the same direction for the colour. To clarify with an example of what I mean... If your sofa is a warm grey a buttermilk or a buttercup yellow would work well. Summer Glow from Fenwick & Tilbrook is a warm yellow. If your sofa is a cool grey a citrus yellow will work better. Concorde, also from Fenwick & Tilbrook, is a good example. I've used yellow here but the principle is the same for any colour. Go with what you fancy but if you want to learn more about colour and its effects I recommend a good book about colour from Karen Haller. It's just out and an excellent read: The Little Book of Colour. Regarding furniture, and in particular a large coffee table - there are plenty available in the shops but if you want something a bit different and not overly expensive I suggest looking in second hand shops for a good quality wooden dining table - if the top is the right size and shape for your room cut the legs down so it's the right height. Depending on the condition of the table you might want to paint it. It would be an opportunity to inject some really bold colour! Good luck with your re-vamp. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like further help....See MoreMarta Scorziello

3 years agoI’ve only just started looking and have just realised I’ve picked the black version of your gold chair d’oh! I discounted the gold as think it would be too much with the brass pendants and your finishes wouldn’t match (I couldn’t find your light but it’s similar)
How old are your kids? If you are tight on space would it be worth considering the bench on one side or are they not old enough?
