Is this a flat roof & is there any living space in the Large Cupola?

5 years ago

Beautiful Design. Nice use of old & New Styles.
Is this a flat roof & is there any living space in the Large Cupola area or is it only an arch / light access feature?

Hi, thanks for the kind words! Those are vaulted ceilings in the hall bath on the front facade and the master bedroom on the other. The zoning code was particularly strict with regards to building height so it was a fun exercise to get some height in those upper floor spaces.

I still love cabinets or repurposed furniture, armoire, etc. that match the space to keep the tv out of sight and not the center focus; but if you don't like cabinets, how about a bookcase with a shelf large enough for the tv; with other items, books, etc. on the shelves, the tv is not the focal point. Or, hang the tv on the wall and hang a large piece of framed art over it and remove for tv watching. Instead of a wall safe, it's a tv . . . .

Hi snan - to address your questions: 1 - yes, the lamps work very well. With regard to the height of the larger lamps: do you know how high they would be? If the bottom of the lampshade is even with the top of the pillows that should work. If they are taller than that I think you will be okay with the smaller lamps. Look back again at some of the pictures above to see what I mean. The thing that will look odd would be if the top of the lamps were taller than your headboard. The idea is that when you are in bed reading a book that you want the light to be able to reflect down. As far as the lampshade size goes on the smaller lamps I'm thinking the shorter ones since they don't seem to drop down as far as the larger ones. 2 & 3-Definitely chair by the mirrored bedside locker with one white locker on the other side. Without question. The chair to the left of the bed gave the room life. Use the extra white one in a closet or another room. You don't want to overcrowd your room when you are going for a tranquil setting. 4-Absolutely okay to have bedside tables that don't match and look good in the room. Whether or not you like that is a personal preference though. I would only put the mirrored one next to the bed though if you have the chair next to it. It's how they play off each other that makes it work. If you don't keep the chair next to the bed then I would use both white tables beside the bed. It is also fine that the pictures are off-centre to the wall as long as they are centered to the bed. :)

It would help to see a photo especially of the window area I am afraid your short description is not enough on its own to be able to give definitive advice.

Thanks Jonathandb1972. That looks like a lovely layout I really like the open plan but our driveway around the house will come from the left side so that's why we had thought of addiing the extension to the right. I'm sure we could use your idea on the right side and it would still throw in plenty of light. Regarding the rooms: the long room to the right is the current kitchen which is currently very dark and cold, the small room behind this is the utility, the two rooms to the left of this are a front living room and back lounge. The rooms left of this are 4 bedrooms a bathroom, hotpress and outside toilet. Thanks again for all your suggestions.
