Help for 1-bed Victorian Flat Layout
Comments (20)I like the idea of moving the kitchen into the bedroom. But I think it would be a mistake to split up the shower and toilet. It looks like there is room to have a wet room off at the back of your bedroom (with some clever storage), which would save you the expense of moving the plumbing/waste pipe. In general people don't like toilets coming off living spaces. If you do want a bathroom separate from your bedroom for guests I would go with Jonathan's idea (which is the best use of space imo but more expensive). Good luck!...See MoreVictorian converted flat - ground floor extension - layout ideas!
Comments (6)Morning, Extending the kitchen (and lounge) area out into the garden is a great way to make room for that extra bedroom. We have worked on many similar projects in the past. We are a London based kitchen company with a great eye for deign and making the most of all kitchen spaces. If you would like advice or to discuss further please do get in touch. It would be great to hear some of your requirements needed to be incorporated into the kitchen design to include appliances etc. would also be helpful to get a feel for the style and colours you are interested in.

Comments (8)Although I love nice new floors, I also really love original floors too. My house is Victorian and when we moved in, the exposed boards were similar to yours. We had someone in a few years ago to sand them and revarnish - it wasn’t too expensive - and it took off the orange tinge that I wasn’t keen on. The floor takes a bit of a battering, but rough imperfections suits our family life better - I can always sand and revarnish or even recolour whenever needed. We have a big rug in the lounge and have put some left over thermal underlay underneath - we don’t notice the droughts that much....See MoreNew floor vs refurbishing old timber floor in Victorian flat
Comments (4)We had our bedroom floor done 3 years, it’s about 27sqm. It only cost c1k but we didn’t need sound insulation. The guy was an antique furniture restorer who started refurbishing floors as a sideline and i suspect he seriously undercharged us..We also didn’t need much in terms of repair work, all boards were sound and only 1 had been replaced at some point in its lifetime, you may also find holes where central heating has been installed or gaps under skirting etc i think you need to consider whether you’d be happy with all the dents as pine is such a soft wood. We hung new curtains days after the floor being done and the ladder (sat on a towel) created dents. We put furniture pads under everything but have had no need to move the furniture since but i suspect it has big dents everywhere! It's fine for us jn a bedroom but not sure if i could cope in a living space...See MoreRavenswood Designs
