Need Suggestion , comment on new Renovation Plan
Hi All,
We would really appreciate if you can take sometime to look at our house renovation plans and suggest pros/cons, ideas, comments on it.
We are concerned about light coming in the open plan area especially in summer months when sun is higher on the sky than winter. We do not want a dark and gloomy open plan. Our back of house is straight pointing to south direction. Below is the existing and new plans.
Thanks a lot
Ash

Need help for my new open plan kitchen/living
Comments (28)As an owner of a large glass kitchen table (octagonal btw) I would not recommend getting one! Especially if you have children. Octagonal shape is great as every guest gets a side, but glass shows fingerprints, even little dust etc. and underneath the table top as well! Harder to clean too. Then you would probably want to get placemats as it's not a nice feeling/sound when you put plates and cutlery on the glass....See Morehelp needed for new ground floor plan
Comments (5)Hi Angie You could take away the space for bedroom 3 and put your stairway in there. Possibly a U shaped stair that will open up the space and give you a beautiful welcome area. Take the wall away between the kitchen/living room to give you a large, open plan living/dining/kitchen area. If you really want to go all out I would just have a minimalist kitchen with one bank of units along the wall to the front garden and a large island with cooker in the middle.

Comments (2)Many thanks Owl for the feedback. I understand what you are saying regarding constraints and the loft stair is something that was proposed by our architect and that we explored in detail. However, it is not something relevant for our family situation with our children and their specific needs; and in addition, it was making the rooms at the end of the corridor (on the left side) either too big (if merged into 1) or (if keep as 2 bedrooms as they are) too small. The middle bedroom was becoming very small and the 2 rooms above where not that much bigger due to the shape of the roof. Our architect did draw plan for this option but after review, it was not the right thing for us. I am keen to know, with our current constraints, you or any one else has some comments :) it would be really appreciate. Many thanks...See MoreDecorating advice needed for open plan area in new home
Comments (11)Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. I thought I might use the additional living room space as a play area and could perhaps get a screen if I wanted to hide toys away when not in use and could add an armchair/chaise by fire in dining room. Need to zone but haven't had such q big space to do before so a bit overwhelmed with flooring/colour/furniture choices and things it all together, large rugs definitely on the shopping list. Definitely want to get rid of the dark wood on doors and skirting. We are going to put recessed downlights in kitchen and dining room and either two pendants or more downlights in living room. The current dining room light is centered to fit the previous owners table so we can change this. Think I want pendants over new breakfast bar. I like the idea of painting archway darker colour to define areas, funnily enough just saw that in Ideal Home mag yest. Thanks again!...See MoreAsh Var
