Hi Fattyma. You could put a console table behind a sofa and add a couple of lamps which will separate the space and lamps will add a cosy feel. If you add a rug in the lounge it will zone that area and lighting can also help. Do you have a ceiling light in the lounge? If not you could use a floor lamp over the seating. Do you have lots of texture in the lounge already for cosiness? You may also be able to use a feature ŵall in either space or use complementary accent colours in both. If you add some pics you should get more ideas

Hey! I've just seen the last comments. I live in Spain and there doesn't seem to be as much choice over here as there is in the USA after browsing at lot.. the Gubi light does look similar to one of the Tom Dixon beats shapes and I like the oriental vibe they give.. I am leaning toward that style for the pendants and will probably end up going with one. As for the splashback.. it's a nightmare.. I really have no idea.. I think dark like black and I think it will look to much and take away from the accents.. I think of grey and I think it's too boring and monocromatic.. I think of colour and I get scared lol.. really don't know and to be honest... I do regret going all white in the kitchen and not going with something darker or mid tone on the lowers at the back to ground it a bit more. I see so many kitchens on Instagram and Pinterest and I am always drawn to the darker ones.. but as I have a darker floor, I thought it would be too much. Anyway, it's done now and I guess we all have things we would do differently. I could always relacquer the lower doors quite cheaply if it came to it I guess. I really love Hague Blue by farrow and ball and have always wanted to use it but I think it wouldn't fit in anywhere and I'm not brave enough anyway🙈 Some good news is that I have finally managed to get the stonemason to change the island worktop which he destroyed after cleaning it with paint thinner.. after 4 months of fighting and the carpenter also finished up all the last details this week.. after 5 months. Stonemason has offered to give me a big discount on the splashback if I put a slab on the wall but really have no idea.. options are Dekton, Silestone, Neolith and Compac colours. By the way.. just saw this flat on pinterest and it reminded me of mine a bit but well done and with a more interesting kitchen.. trying to get some inspiration from it: https://hot-walls.ru/portfolio/сердце-столицы-99/ My favourite designs seem to all be Russian for some reason.. 😅

Hi Ella, It's quite difficult to understand your project because the plan doesn't give enough information. When you're starting a design project it's really important to give people who will be helping you with the design the right information so they can help you in a way that really does deliver what you need and want. I call this designing your home vision - once you have that it also makes it easier for you to make the right decisions for you. I'm running a free & no obligation 5 day Get Ready To Redesign Your Home Challenge - which is a week with access to me for daily q&a as well as a quick and easy daily task to help you start designing your home vision. I'd love to help you prepare for your home design. It's an exclusive event so you need to be signed up to take part. Here is the link to join in: https://www.i-architect.co.uk/readytoredesign.html You will get emails during the event to let you know the daily details, but once the 5 days is over you are welcome to unsubscribe from those if they are no longer useful to you.

Hi Becky, I would suggest getting a professional on board. As mentioned above it is important to get to know your likes and dislikes and then build up what you require within the space you have (with your existing items). Interior designers and concept planners can definitely help with this so it is worth doing some research into it and the costs. Like us, there are many that can offer 3D plans and videos as part of the basic packages so you can see how the space works and feels to navigate - rather than always trying to work it out from 2D's. We also offer three options as a standard, so this is often a good place to start and get to understand how your space works by seeing it in a variety of scenarios. It helps to ensure you get it right first time :) which is really important when embarking on a project this size. I hope it helps. Do keep us posted on how you get on and what you end up with as it's great to follow to journey. Best, Gina
