This is my new house! There's currently nothing in the property, I have a grey L shaped sofa but unsure if it would fit. Where would you place TV/sofa and other furniture? I'm not a huge fan of the fireplace but I need to work around it and toss in making it look better would be muchly appreciated 🥰

THe obvious place for your sofa is against the long wall opposite the fireplace. Do you need an aerial for your tv? If not I would mount it on the wall between the two doors but only if you have a socket. You could place a chair at right angles to the sofa to create a cozy sitting area. A large berber style rug would make it more cozy. Luckily it looks as though you have plenty of space for a dining table in the kitchen. Is your sofa right or left handed? Just add pieces slowly, you don't have to fill it up. Do you have a small side or coffee table? A floorlamp would also make it cosier.

Congrats!

Though the door between kitchen and lounge is convenient, it does limit your layout options. So you might consider placing your sofa in front of it. The scale is likely off, but the above will give a decent impression/ideas.

Dee, I think 2manycats has nailed it for you. Rather than thinking of this as a window, think of it as a backlit (in the daytime), rectangular frame! The large, stained glass is a great option! Even though it's physically hard and cold, the design/colors can provide the warm, welcoming feature you desire for your entry area. It will be fun to see what you come up with!

Hi ! I think this house will benefit from from plenty of toy storage in the main family living space ( assuming this will be in the extension at rear ) as while little ones are so small they need to be in view - so perhaps you could design with this in mind and add a dedicated laundry room near the WC perhaps ? The current play room could maybe be used as a different function ? Do you need a guest room /study perhaps ? For when family members come to stay ? If so maybe the wc could be upgraded to a shower room ? There's lots of things you can do to make this work for you - just write a list of what could make your life easier now and for the next 5-10 years or so ... Some things will evolve or be ready to change by then - so being clever with your designing and planning now should put you in a good place further down the line too !! If this is something you need help with - hiring in a pro might be a good way of dealing with it - or alternatively put your wish list on here and see if you can get some fab ideas from the helpful Houzzers !!!
