Victorian knocked through living and dining room design same or diff?
Comments (16)Thanks Ensign! The magnolia comment was just about a temporary measure as the majority of the room is already magnolia and we have some leftover from recent touch ups to our rental. Definitely won't be magnolia long term. We originally had a room by room plan, but got waylaid as we had to rip out carpets and wallpaper from upstairs immediately to get rid of smells. Downstairs we haven't touched the kitchen/utility, although we have had to strip both halls, again due to smell. With the exception of dealing with the floor, our bedroom will be finished first as it doesn't need any tradesman input. Everything else will have to be done in bits and pieces as and when we can afford to get trades in to plaster/ deal with pointing outside causing damp and so on....See MoreKnocking through two reception rooms for through lounge
Comments (4)There is unlikely to be any reason why you cannot do this. You will need to consult a structural engineer who will do the calculations for the size of RSJ required. You will then need to submit your plans as your 'building regulations drawings' to the local Building Control as this is a notifiable alteration. Your builder or designer can do this for you. The Building Inspector will need to first approve the plans and calculations and then make a site inspection after the opening has been made and the steel is in place, but before you plaster over it. Please do get professional help to do this job Good luck...See MoreEdwardian terrace side return to utility or kitchen knock through?

Comments (6)There are so many options here but your wishlist is long. I would try and find an architect whose work you like. An initial consultation should be money well spent. They understand and manipulate space in ways other people cannot conceive. This does not look like a simple wall removal project to me. At first glance your entrance hall is huge there may be potential there....See MoreDeborah
