I like being able to see through as you come up the stairs, I think it looks amazing and give light to the stairs.

Hi. I feel your pain! These traditional ones are the best: You can leave stuff on them and pull them up with the ropes so they are out of the way, provided you have high enough ceilings. There is also this one that attaches between two walls but then doesn't look like much when it is put away. It also comes in white: http://www.brabantia.com/uk/laundry-drying-ironing/clothes-line/pull-out-clothes-lines-stainless-steel/#more Brabantia is a really good brand that comes with long guarantees and they replace parts even when it is just from wear and tear. The Victorian traditional one will last forever, it is just a matter of whether you a place where you like the look of it when it does and doesn't have clothes on it. Good luck!

New open plan space - ideas for the snug/lounge space?

I think your snug will always seem a little dark as the room has been elongated with the extension. I think the best you could do is pop a mirror in the snug, the biggest you can afford to see if that makes a difference. A lighter coloured rug possibly? It's a great space though and I like the wallpaper :) It would be a shame to lose the original door but could you change it for one with glass panels in to let light in from the hall?

Hi Indi, I would knock out both walls and have the kitchen, diner and family room all open plan. The lounge would stay separate. I would also add long bi-fold doors and glazing all along the back wall. At the minute it seems like you have through the hallway, then the kitchen to get to the family room? I think that's why the flow is not right.

Is it a beautiful bookcase? Especially on the lovely bench, that would look lovely. Some shelves on side supports would work for the other side too.

Stained glass panel?

Shelves, so you can see through into the room but creates a bit of privacy. My only concern is whether the open area above stairs is unsafe? Has that passed Building Regs?

Hello,

If you had young kids who will fall off the edge. Put a chic checked patterned black steel glass panel or one piece no frame glass panel (like commercial glass). I am guessing your pillar size is around 250mm. Then you can do a custom made wrap around, extend out around 250mm a little wider. So total you will have 500mm wide on top, as a top you can use a piece of beautiful luxury quartz/ marble, cheaper options to use wood such as oak, walnut. Then under the top, you can create cabinet / open shelves for books underneath / on top for decorations / create sitting cushion on top.

Alternatives, many options, such as custom made patterned frame made by wood as a frame.

If you do not have kids. Do not worry about the edge, do it like those Mediterranean and Spanish style, just stone top such as marble, stones, tiles like an open seating area with nice cushions. Like Romeo and Juliet.

Hope this help.

How about doing a rain fall water feature and planter base? Would bring in nature and a soothing sound of water. Semi private but lets light through. You could even add mood lights for nighttime
