Flooring - open plan kitchen/dining/living
Comments (15)I have floor boards in bathrooms. Second house that I've had this with no problems at all n first house and one minor DIY fixed water mark near skirting in second (due to kids). I would always aim for wood throughout but I think there are regulations that make this difficult in new builds....See MoreNeed help restyling our open plan area
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 MoreOpen plan kitchen, living, dining advice
Comments (17)it's a very strange plan for a new build but of course we're used to looking at Australian plans...who will use the downstairs bathroom and three living areas and how many will live in the house and do you expect to have long stay guests? is there an upstairs bathroom you'll be sorry if there isn't.....do you have no neighbours and great views in every direction?..what is the distance from the outside walls to the boundaries....i suggest that you need to spend more time thinking about how you'll live in the house before choosing windows..if you enlarge the plan and make some cut out scale sized furniture you can trial different ways that furniture and kitchen cabinets can be placed in the rooms and make sure that you allow at least 1m pathways around the furniture..even if you have to pay for local authorities to reconsider the plans it's very important to make sure that you have the best possible arrangements..it costs no different to build a better plan and you'll enjoy the benefits for the lifetime of the house...can you repost the plans with dimensions clearly shown and also add a copy of the upstairs and you should receive lots of great ideas and i'll also redraw some ideas to consider...See MoreDesign help needed - opening kitchen up to dining area
Comments (13)I could see where the appliances were in your plan but I thought because you are opening up the wall that it might be a good idea to have the cooking and sink along the left wall to reduce the view from the dining of cooking and dishes. What do you look at from the other window...See MoreTyrian

6 years agoI would suggest the area adjacent to the kitchen. You will need regular access from the kitchen to the BBQ regardless of the temperature outside. I'm not sure where you're located but if you have great weather all year what about a door near the kitchen and sliding doors in the centre so you can have both... another option is stackable doors which open and can be stacked to one side so the entire wall can open or individual panels/doors opened when desired.
