Layout dilemma - best use of space and rooms? Save me !!
Comments (19)Hi memyshell, Having rooms to let with en-suites is only going to increase the money that you can charge for each room so I think it is something you should try coming round to. (I have been in this sort of accommodation before) I do however having a toilet that is shared would be a massive plus to you as what happens when you or any of your housemates have guests do they use the en-suites? Does't sound practical to me however I have a plan using one of the plans that was already attached to the thread of this posts I will try and explain as best I can. Create a corridor that runs from the front door straight through to the wall at the back that be the wall of the kitchen/living and dining area. On the right of the wall make it a full length glazed screen so that when you walk in you can see straight to the garden but are keeping this a separate communal space. The space that is shown as reception room can be transformed into a small functional toilet (which I think is all you need) this will give guests a room to visit without entering a bedroom. The wall of the kitchen would run 3/4 of the way along the wall creating a opening rather than a door giving the space more of a flow. Make sure the door of the new bathroom is hidden behind the wall (almost in the center of the house) when standing in the kitchen area. If you require any other help don't hesitate to get in touch. May I ask where your project will be taking place as it may be something we may be able to work with yourself on? FMA...See MoreColours for open plan room driving me nuts!
Comments (34)I know what you are saying. I've taken pics of them both on our old cutlery drawer (ignore the grubby marks!). What do you think? Our old kitchen knobs pronounced further than the mushroom ones actually. I think the HB ones are nice but my favourite ones are still the AM - we've gone over budget on so many things already but I dint want to get the hardware wrong as it is so important....See MoreChristmas Dining room... emergency warmth and window dressing
Comments (22)Theyre UPVC, expensive convincing anyone to knock walls out in this place. Not fitted very well so had to go build up exterior render to look right, and it showed up how NOT square the left of the window recess was so had to build that out/ plaster too! It's more to make it homely/soft that I want curtaining, and it's only exposed between the neighbours back yards /our house because the new border was only planted this year and the end result evergreen privacy hasnt had chance to thrive yet... more planting in the spring. It is "the dark side" of the house so want to let light in. End game plan is there will be no ceiling and the area will be lit my velux roof window... but that's a LONG way off! The trick is to try keeping it nice and liveable in the meantime, it means more expense but rather that then totally lose my sanity! Here is how is WAS out back... and a photo from earlier this year. The purpose of the door is to bring this area into use, not the forgotten inaccessible area it once was. The half wall, it is the intention to have a surface behind that under the stairs, it doesnt have to stay in the end, but it's unbelievable how much use that little wall gets. It's in the "walkway" at the back of the lounge, and right across from the tv. It will just serve as bit of separation between under the stairs and the walkway/lounge....See Morere designing living room into open plan kitchen dining living space
Comments (12)Ok. Where do you enter? And where is the bathroom? Bedroom is upstairs? Fireplace will be used as such? Is the space next to the sitting room a hallway? Where could the soil pipe go?...See MoreInterior Affairs -- Vickie Daeley
