Comments (13)Hi there, Your couches are gorgeous. Just quickly, I’d swap the dining table and two single yellow arm chairs. Then I’d rotate the table 90 degrees if possible. I think if I were going to make any furniture purchases I would first replace all the dark furniture (dining table and bench seats) with white furniture to help bounce some light around. Dark furniture absorbs light like crazy. Thoughts on the kitchen reno would be to keep the bench top and splashback white and then accent with yellow and black. Timber usually softens and warms a space so maybe something like that for the cabinetry but timber isn’t the only finish to provide that feel. This leads into my next thought that white, black and deep yellow can appear quite harsh so maybe some some soft furnishings like some fluffy pillows and rug and a couple of throws might help bring some gentleness and cosy-ness into the space. All the best with it and love to see what you do with the space....See MoreLiving Room open plan layout
Comments (20)Wow! Absolutely awesome siriuskey - thank you for sharing this - your Architect's plan here is just on a completely different level and immediately demonstrates the value of professional design.......isolated room arrangement does not equate to architecture - architecture is about articulating the experience of space and sadly so many project opportunities are missed when it's not understood or recognised that this (spatial/living experience) is what it is all about and if approached/founded on this principle the concept will maximise the project/property value.....this principle can be applied to all types/scales of project whether new builds and renos/extensions or small fitouts.........what your Architect's plan (I think) shows is definitive consideration of and connection to site/context as well as balancing/blending creativity of planning with function, developing rooms of various scales and a multi-dimensional/layered but also relatively simple/streamlined set of both internal and external spaces. What people often don't understand is that this type of option/layout will actually feel more spacious and significantly more interesting than other options that are physically larger but not nearly as elegantly and sensitively resolved. It also doesn't necessarily have to be that more expensive....so good to see this - aren't you lucky! :) PD...See MoreAdvice For an Open-Plan Layout Needed
Comments (15)we need more information to offer specific advice...please clearly show the dimensions of the rooms, what are the walls, floor and roof made out of and we need a view of the roof..but what is the purpose of the raised ceiling?? unless you're prepared to rebuild the whole roof it's unlikely that you can raise the ceiling in part of the house without very expensive substantial changes to the structure of the building and it would be much more cost effective to plan an extension with a raised ceiling but what reason did the designers have for not being able to make a suitable plan for you??...See MoreHelp please with furniture layout in living room.
Comments (2)The present layout sort of works , but the fact you sort of have a hallway through the middle is fairly inefficient . I suspect I'd put your TV on a cabinet , just in front of the sunroom wall . Why I say that is because my gut feeling is most noise will transfer through ( or under or around ) the glass doors , not the wall itself . If you have the TV over the other side of the room ( the wall closest the front door etc ) the sound may even carry directly across the room , whereas 'pointing back' from that wall may actually get less transference . That means you can use the whole lounge , people can walk through , but around furniture if need be -- a couple of chairs along what is presently the 'hall' if needed/desired , for example . If there is still too much noise ( remember not all BNB guests are mute mouses too ! ) , depending on how often it gets used and whether you also use it too , you might have to consider removing the doors , and framing and walling the cavity ....See More- 8 years ago
