Room layout - help needed!
Hi, we’ve just moved into our new home. This room is going to be a dining room/playroom. I need help with the layout!

last yearA nice big Kallax against the wall with interior door. Small play table under the narrow window. Kitchen and such in the left alcove. A soothing sage on the walls. Probably change the carpet too, but for now it'll do. Leave some open floorspace near the garden doors for playing.

Comments (3)HI Keerthi, the project turned out well, apart from the main house, I built a 9m x 6m building which I split in 2. The front 4.5m x 6m area is used for pressuried water system, gas burner and a multi fuel burner all to one side and fuels to the other. The is a door going into rear of building the same size. Theres a 3m wide by 1.2m window to the back of the bulding looking out into the garden with a glass door to the side. Its a fabulous plastered games room and may be used as a music practice room at some stage. There is a 600m floored attic for storage. I didnt get any feedback off site but still get great ideas for finishes within Houzz. Regards...See MoreNeed help with my bathroom layout

Comments (9)Thanks, I wasn't sure where the 9'4 measurement came in. If you're buying all new furniture then look for items on legs, as you can see the floor beneath it will make the space feel bigger. You can also use glass ie a glass coffee table or Louis ghost chairs for example. I'd also go for a large mirror over the hearth or not knowing your style could also have a ŵall of glass tiles for the same effect which will also bounce light. I'd go for a pale tone sofa and use warmer/darker colours for cushions if wanted. If you want a rug then I'd keep it in the same tone as the floor else to visually maximise floor space. I've drawn a very rough plan (not entirely to scale and obviously not knowing where doors etc are!). I assume you're wanting to buy furniture before you move in? If so do you have a similar size room where you could cut out paper templates of all furniture to see if the space works? I would mount the tv on the ŵall if you have one. Hanging it over a slim console (or slim cabinet for storage) means you can add art on the ŵall and accessorise the console so the tv doesn't become the feature of the ŵall. You could go for a coffee table or a small footstool which can double up as extra seating and table. I'd go for a round dining table, 3ft will seat 4 and you can pull it away from the corner when entertaining. i'd go for a 2 seater sofa (c5f?) but try and get a slim one. I don't know the size of the windows but blinds, shutters may also be an idea so curtains don't encroach on the floor space? In terms of decor do you want light and neutral or dark and moody then people can suggest paint colours?...See MoreNeed help for layout of new extension
Comments (0)Hi everyone, I really would appreciate your feedback and advice on my plan for our new extension. I don't think we can afford an architect with our budget so would really value all your expertise! I'll attach a layout of our before and what I'm thinking of for an after pic. All new to me......See More

last yearHi Charlotte,
It depends on how you use the space currently or how your envisage using it. It looks like there is quite a bit of space in front of the bay window, so I would move the dining table a bit closer to the window.
In terms of the play area it looks like your children congregate on the opposite side of the room? If so I would make this space theirs by adding this simple storage by IKEA where you toys can be stored easily in baskets. I would measure up to see if you can add a second one on top or on the adjoining wall with the radiator.

There are different colours and textures the above is just to give you an idea. In terms of the rest of the look and feel I would avoid decorating the whole room with bright colours etc. You can of course make it work so that you can have accents in the accessories which co-incide with the children's toys. e.g. brightly coloured vase.
Hope this helpsThanks
