Where do I begin?
Comments (4)You could begin small. Just a few pieces as in the pic.:) sufficient room for the cigar and rum and listening to the music of yr choice. Imagine the rest!! Enjoy!!...See MorePlanning for a home redesign, where to begin!?
Comments (24)Being totally honest - as I always aim to be ... having a software package doesn’t instantly make you a concept planner.... yes it’s fun for home owners to ‘have a go’ at planning their own project and I enjoy seeing some of the ideas that others who have downloaded software come up with on these sort of dilemmas for people, and some of the ideas that come out on these threads are great - but some are so way off the mark and not inline with building regs that I do worry that there will be comeback if people go ahead and use them. I can just see it now ‘but it said it on Houzz, so it must be ok’ - no, not necessarily! Don’t get me wrong , I have the greatest respect for the people who regularly offer their time and ideas on here - but please please please homeowners, don’t always assume that these ideas are finished and viable... They are ideas, suggestions, something to print off and to take with you for your meeting with your builder/ architect/ design and build contractor etc ie to discuss and take to the next level if they prove to be viable. Sorry if this comes across as grumpy - but I’ve just had to squeeze in an extra project, as an emergency, for a lady who’d followed some really dodgy advice from a family member who thought they could ‘be a designer’ - the building inspector disagreed - and it’s going to cost that poor lady lots of money to rectify it, and make her home safe again. I have your interests at heart Houzzers ! :-)...See MoreElectrical plan, where do I start and what should I consider?!
Comments (1)Hi Louise the layout of your space looks great. Time to entertain!! regarding the lighting layout, I would consider -pendants above the island -downlights to the main areas of the kitchen -under unit lights to the high level cupboards (linear led works well) -pin spot downlights (such as Eiger) above dining table and some twinspot (such as Eiger 2) to the lounge area and possibly some picking out art on the main walls -add some 5 amp sockets to the dining and lounge areas for table and floor lamps If you can, have 2 circuits per area so that you can really set the mood. Below is project with similar aspects so that you can see how we have zoned the lighting to suit each area. Hope this helps and good luck with the project....See MorePlease help with colour scheme - totally clueless
Comments (10)Thanks so much for that. I think white it is for the woodwork in the meantime then. Any suggestions as to curtains or colour which might work with pigeon? They are quite big curtains so I wasn’t sure if a pattern would be better so it’s not just a massive block of colour when they are closed?...See Moresawischme
