We are currently drawing up our house plans to build our home later this year. We would love an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, but would also like to try to seperate the areas with some features eg. big fireplace etc. Also open to the idea of maybe a balcony/landing overlooking this area. As we are still at the planning stage we are not too restricted with design or shape. Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi aoife12, planning for a new home is an exciting time, and also a chance to live in your 'dream' home. One suggestion I have is for you to look at your current home and see what's working and what's not for you.

Some people like complete open concept area for the great room, dining and kitchen, while others prefer a bit of separation and definition, such as a great room with high vaulted ceiling, but the kitchen and dining space has a lower ceiling to make a more intimate gathering area.

A balcony area overlook the great room makes the home feel more open If you are planning a 2 story house and have the space to do it.

What about blinds which raise up from the base of the window, partially or totally raise as suits? There are some gorgeous lace panels around (NOT talking nets here!) - try Anthology perhaps, or even La Redoute who have some 'v' bottomed ones amongst others? Bee

We need some wall color inspirations for a kitchen with white a cabinets and black countertop. The duck egg blue we have now in some parts does not go with the black countertops. Any suggestions?
