Hi all,
What's the best way of soundproofing an internal SVP? Would be grateful for any recommendations based on people's experiences.
Thanks!

I think solid hinged doors will be sturdy and a bit more soundproof than the current ones. I'd aim for a design that you can open all the way whenever you want to have the two rooms connected.

Hi everyone. Thanks for your comments. I cannot afford a loft conversion and the roof is a hip end which would require turning it into a gable end and needing a dormer but I may be able to afford to build on top of the kitchen extension. The room would be very small though. The creation of the aforementioned corridor gives me an extra wall that I can put furniture against as I have downsized from a 5 bed to 2.5 bed. It won't be a dark room as it has double french doors and there is another window space which is currently a double doorway leading into the kitchen. I prefer the living room at the front of the house. The light is better and there is a nicer fieplace and it is cosy. If I was going to sell, the new bedroom would be marketed as a dining room.

Once you knock down a wall you lose the ability to have furniture right up against that space. There's also the issue of the doors as you've mentioned. Not sure if you have a radiator on the wall or not, but that's also an issue. It would be useful to see a floorplan of the whole downstairs. My initial thoughts would be to keep the wall though. You've already said you'd have doors closed a lot of the time, so seems like an unneccesary cost to open up for occasional use. I also prefer a house to have more than one room and as the children get older it's definitely better to have separate spaces. There's probably other ways of creating more of a feeling of space rather than removing a wall. Perhaps a different style/size of sofa, or just pulling furniture away from the wall by a few inches - seems mad, but furniture having some space around it actually makes the room feel more spacious.
