Definitely country style, l love the combination of the wood and bricks it brings you warm into the kitchen without turning oven on.

New sofa style

Hi Lisa, nice sofa. I had a red sofa for 10 years and loved it ( though mine was fabric) I've changed the kitchen/ living room and it stuck out like a sore thumb. I gave in and put in a grey leather sectional one and I must say it's much easier to decorate around. Are you in Ireland? Have you heard of the 1933 company, they have very nice suites. Red makes a big statement! Just my 2 cents worth, good luck!

Hello Annken, What about buying a very long Bungalow style home 1930's style.. If you treat it like two wings of a stately home.. With one side each for both of you that meets in the middle for kitchen/dining etc.. Or would you both want completely separate living quarters?.. If the height wasn't too low you may be able to create some split level rooms with ramp style stairs.. Or if it's not a bungalow if it was big enough you could have split level flooring with low spiral stairs.. Think Guggenheim or the Berthold Lubetkin beautifully designed Penguin house at the zoo that also had "slides" for the penguins to enter the pool in style.. These two both have a similar "feel" aesthetically to them and very beautiful... They are both favourites of mine... but it seems to me to be a way of adapting the home to the use of your wheelchairs in a nice stylish and modern way.. Possibly even more affordable than having stairs and chair lifts.. : ))

This might sound a bit like being on the fence given the advice you've had already... How about a mid to dark grey ( less contrast than black), RAL 7022 is a favourite of mine (warmer grey), or look at a green grey, as something that will have the colour of the olive, with a good amount of contrast against the white render, (you won't have the warm rich colours of the brickwork as in the photos above (which the olive looks good against)). If you are painting the timber windows you would do well to look at microporous opaque stains to reduce your on-going maintenance. A benefit of aluclad composite windows is colour outside can be factory supplied different to the interior finish. Hope this might help. Regards, Nick

I love the cabin in the woods, its a intimate setting where you are drawn to the outside whilst keeping snug indoors. The use of fabrics sets it apart from the usual cold designs of other modern rooms. The attention detail in the selection of furniture pieces keeps it modern yet functional.

I'm a country girl , however I do like the clean , uncluttered look of contemporary , but therein lies the problem . I can do clean but clutter is a daily battle . A country style is more forgiving !

We went for a pared down deco look in our 1920's house, so retro style. Its wonderful. I love most of the other designs though.

I love contemporary however it's has to have colour, it seems that if you think contemporary then it's got to be white

This is hard. Whilst the contemporary look appeals to me most. I know that the practicalities of everyday life make it too difficult to maintain. The traditional kitchen is more similar to mine which is why I find it inviting and comfortable, I guess.

I love combinations which include both traditional and industrial. I think it looks a bit more modern and edgy.

My take on a traditional kitchen, my second, now I'm going for a contemporary for my next kitchen. White gloss on one bank, graphite on the peninsular.....

I voted industrial, although my kitchen is more traditional, as I love the use of different materials and 'rough luxe' look. As someone who makes a living from restoring, revamping and repurposing, it seems the most appropriate style!

I like a kitchen that looks good, even when used throughout the day, every day. It's country for me; simple but cluttered with appliances, crocks of cupboard basics and a large wood cutting board.

craftycountess is that a glass splash back with a flower in it? I love your kitchen x

No it's Perspex which I ordered online, cut to size with rounded corners at top edge. It worked very well and was a good budget alternative to glass. I have now sold that property and am currently renovating a bungalow so can try out lots of new ideas!!

PS thank you your comment by the way, the Dill head is a mural, printed to whatever size you decide and put up like wallpaper. Will be using that idea again for the new place.....

I've got contemporary units, but in wild oak finish. No handles and a nice clean line. I don't manage the minimalist look very well though. I think that's because I cook regularly.

This is a tricky one. Industrial style kitchens for me are the best in terms of usability and have that rawness in them. Country style brings the most homely feeling and is great for creating that special family atmosphere or just potting around all day. Contemporary sure rules when it comes to pure, clean lines and hidden functionality. I like my kitchen to be in use, everything at hand, so industrial style is my choice, with country style being second and contemporary third.

I love a country kitchen its so English and classic but I do think you can edge it up a bit by mixing eclectic pieces and making it your own love to mix in industial pieces too like salvage made into islands so cool but I know a lot of people are purists cant think of anything more boring. im just changing mine up after 20yrs of beautiful solid wood8

I don't like cluttered kitchens. I need a calm space to cook up a storm in the kitchen. Country kitchens seem too chaotic, I would go mental having to cook with all that unnecessary display of rubbish around me. A contemporary kitchen with a bit of the industrial charm is the winner for me any time.

The space in which the kitchen will live will always determine my favourite style, user friendly spaces that are not to condensed with a decent dining area then i will always go for contemporary style .
