Hello wonderful people,
We have had the following two plans from our architect. Its such an exciting - but really difficut decision to make! We only want one room - but the architect said we could have the same design without the wall. Can you see any pro's for either design?
We have played around with the layout on both - but would love some of your ideas.....where would you place things? All ideas very gratefully received -Thank you
Only must have’s are -
*Bed must be opposite TV
*Lots of wardrobe space
*Dressing table

How can I make my kitchen design/layout more practical?
Comments (13)The design layout could do with changing if this is a two chef kitchen - as currently hob and sink share same floor standing space, the DW when open blocks the walkway - oven is danger to anyone opening door... The FF is not what you want - the list goes on !!! Difficult to help further with no sizes - I could guess from the doors - but no head on shot of the right wall so a bit tricky - this could be a 'very quick' job as a sketch consult on an hourly rate, if you want pro help - drop me an email ! If you were thinking of using ikea for example - you could buy and have installed the carcase's, drawers, worktop, sink and appliances and then add the facia fronts as and when you have spare cash - this would stretch your money a little further ... £4k is still a lot of money - invest it wisely !...See MoreHow would you interior design under the stairs?
Comments (6)I would say partially block it in, like the picture above so that the coats and shoes are in cupboards then “go glam” put a shiny chrome radiator on the wall in place of the old white one, or get bespoke mirrors made for the remaining wall and ceiling, the amount of light it bounces round is amazing and the moment you put two mirrors touching each other at different angles it makes it all look so much bigger as the mirrors reflect into each other. Can you change the flooring in your hallway for something brighter?

Comments (42)Wow some great advice here, sorry I have not responded for a while. So far I've decided to definately have a deep single bowl under mount sink, I will take the advice to hide the machines behind doors. Also I am going to have the stacking kit as the folding board will give me additional useable space. I don't know if the cupboards in the middle will make the space look heavy? at 5"11" I fear I might be constantly bumping my head against it. My kitchen cabinets are pale cream from Howdens, do you think it would look odd if I have the utility cupboards a light grey with a bold tiled backsplash? Thank you all for showing my your utility rooms really appreciate your advice all your advice and would really like to see some more pics of your space saving ideas and how you made your utility rooms more functional. Did not imagine such a small space would give me so many considerations on how to get the space right....See MoreHow would you like Professional Garden Designers to work?
Comments (5)Typically a garden designer will be creating the design, helping with the setting out of the plan and overseeing the project. Working in the same manner as an architect might work. You wouldn't expect to find an architect laying the bricks for a house they had designed.... If I was building every garden I design myself then I would only be able to work on half a dozen gardens a year. I have built many gardens which I designed but there are other professionals who are faster and better at laying slabs, erecting pergolas etc. There is far more to know about design than most people imagine. If you are going to pay for a design service you don't really want a jack of all trades, do you? Having said that garden designers are often very passionate about the spaces they are creating, so they may choose to get involved in certain aspects of the build, usually the planting. It is not unreasonable perhaps to expect your garden designer to be a good gardener. With a garden build there may be specialist areas. An obvious thing is that an electrician will be getting the lighting installed but certain surfaces or timber work might be best done by a company who specialises in it (like say polished concrete). On a house build the people doing the roof are trained in roofing and that is probably all that they do. With gardens there does tend to be a view that somebody should be doing everything, but I don't think that there is much reasoning to that. Clients do tend to favor design and build companies, however sometimes this can mean being subject to some bias. Some design and build companies have particular deals with suppliers and always use the same materials or products in their projects. That's OK if the client is aware of this but maybe they would have liked or enjoyed some other element in the garden if the money had not gone on that? Neither the design nor the building of gardens is a regulated industry in the UK so I would say that it is best to go and see a project that any professional you are planning to work with has done. It is very mixed industry with people in all areas of it sometimes being self-taught and other times having lots of paperwork - either of them could be more masterful than the other, the only way to know is to look....See More
