Beautiful Room, just wondering would the ceiling joists in that photo be the old walls of the house replaced by two rsj's joined? Thanks, Declan

They are steels that were put in as part of the build.

Lighting, a mirror and a reflective floor would help with the lighting. Another clever trick would be to open some the space between wall studs for shallow display niches.

Kitchen layout

Hi, I would appreciate some advice. We wish to redesign our kitchen (230x270cm). I've attached a floor plan of our ground floor. The 230cm wall between the kitchen and living area currently has a narrow service hatch (40x100cm). The other 230cm wall has a large window with sink, dishwasher and washing machine beneath. What do you think would make best use of the space: (a) current layout minus service hatch, (b) open up service hatch to ceiling and place banquette in living area (c) knock the wall between living room and kitchen, and close up the current door-way into the kitchen (converting this area to counter space, making it a U shaped kitchen). Thank you for any advice

Architect or kitchen designer?
Q

At present we have a largish kitchen with a small utility room attached, separated by a solid wall which has power sockets and pipes to the (external) boiler running along it. We want to refurbish the whole space, possibly knocking that wall down and integrating the two rooms. We would also like to have a large skylight in the kitchen roof, and a door from the kitchen to the garden. My question is - do I need an architect to advise and draw up plans, or is this something a kitchen designer could do? I know this might seem and obvious question but never having been in this situation before I'm not sure who to approach.

I don’t think your plan for a playroom is an economical plan. Firstly it’s an additional small room- this house has enough rooms for any family- what you need is larger rooms. You have stated you want a kitchen with an island- the space you currently have won’t accommodate an island but if you did extend the kitchen this will likely add far more to the resale value. The rooms at the back of this house have two doors to the patio- you intend putting the playroom just here meaning you loose the best route to your garden most likely resolved by replacing the Dining room window with French doors….. and moving the radiator, replacing the floor and building a new patio! The living room at the back of the house could be a playroom for the next few years- perhaps you should make an aperture to the dining room to keep an eye on the kids.
