Removing wall on first floor - advice

3 years ago

Hoping to remove the walls between the kitchen and lounge of our 1st floor flat. One is potentially load-bearing (structural engineer coming). Has anyone done this on the first floor - can you replace with a steel ‘frame’ around the whole opening, or a steel beam in the ceiling and one or two vertical pillars?

If you loot his looks like it is an uncomplicated aperture and will be easy for a competent builder. Don’t forget being a leasehold property you will need freeholder permission.

Thanks, Jonathan! Luckily we are the freeholder too.

I agree with groveraxle, with a small caveat - if you're not very experienced with how paint colors change in different rooms with different light and so on, then I like to try out a couple of samples of colors I THINK I'm likely to want before I go shopping for furnishings/art/etc. (I just paint on thick card or something so I can move the sample around in the room and between rooms.) My reason for this is that it can be quite hard to make some color schemes work in some rooms and I don't want to be in love with a rug/piece of art/etc. and only find out once I try to decorate the room around it that the room itself is fighting me. (For example, my parents have a room which only gets REALLY warm natural light due to the angle of the sun when it hits the windows. So some colors look VERY different in there compared to elsewhere in the house.) For example - I have the idea I probably wanted my new bedroom to be some shade of gray. What I'm going to do is get some sample pots of gray paint that looks appealing to me and test them in the room. Some will probably appeal more than others in the room, so then I'll let those guide me in looking for other items - not trying to match the paint, but looking for a light cool gray versus a darker warm gray, that sort of thing. Then once I have the soft items selected I'll find the exact shade of paint I use from there. (Which might end up being the sample I already had, or might need a custom mix, etc.) I think if you're a designer or do this a lot you start getting a better idea of how rooms will influence colors and can just imagine it, so you don't need to do the first step as much. You can just look at a room and tell things are likely to read warm or cool or whatever.

Hi. I love your couch and if light is an issue, I would think about a large mirror because it'll bounce the light around the room (your little starburst one is a bit wasted over there). Mirrors don't have to be expensive - look in charity shops and second hand shops. If you go for a large canvas, make it quite colourful so the boring walls fade away. Again, you don't have to spend a fortune - there are lots of websites with affordable art. A floor lamp would be great and if you get a ceiling light, make sure it isn't so low that it blocks whatever fabulous new item you have hanging behind the couch. I'd see how it looks when you've done this before you paint or also to help choose your paint colour so it goes with mirror/art. Good luck!

Hi minnie101, Thanks so much for your detailed reply. Great to know what colour that grey is. It may be a little dark with our floor. We will definitely update the handles - I hate the current ones. We'll probably go with wood to keep within budget. Your non-tiles pic is lovely. We'll probably keep some tiles and try to keep the kitchen a little more modern than country kitchen, which might be a challenge with wood. The room faces south. I like your idea of dividing it with paint. We probably will go with white in the kitchen and then 1/2 slightly darker tones in the tv-couch area. The 'other' entrance into the dining area is narrowed by a non-structural wall, so we should remove this to open it properly or like you say, close it off. Maybe not close it off entirely as we'd lose a lot of light, but maybe put in a counter or breakfast bar if space allowed. I love your pendant light suggestions over the dining table. Details like this and a rug in the couch area will really help divide the room as at the moment it is one big cavernous space. I really can't decide yet what way the couches should face - into a tv in the corner, or out into the room like you suggest. We'll have to draw out some chalk outlines on the floor and see how much space there actually is. Colour-wise we like the idea of keeping walls and cabinets quite stark, the wood counter will add a bit of warmth, and then adding colour with couches, rugs and possibly dining chairs. I've attached a couple of pieces of furniture I like. Some may not work, but we'll figure it out.

A few things I would change from experience...instead of a single and double door I would spend the extra money and put in a bifold corner section...would open up the space so much more. as for the kitchen...completely flip your design...put your breakfast bar closer to the window...make it large and multipurpose with the hob in it and then put your main band of cabinets either left, right or behind? We have recently restructured our existing cabinets to this layout and put in new countertops and it works far better than before!
