Need help designing my new shed
Comments (1)I would treat it like I do a kitchen. Everything you have list it and consider how you want it stored, how often and quick it is to access and what you will do in this space. The wall adjacent to you walking in has a steel post, and as e doorway abuts this wall, nothing protruding, so I would look for a hanging racking system to keep things like gardening tools off ground. Rakes, cutters, brooms etc off the floor. It would allow UN-interrupted access into the space. Next, running the longest back wall, some tall storage both open and lockable units, and I would consider castors on everything so you can configure things as you need to and be flexible to move them. The opposite wall which looks like it's freshly plastered I would bench with wall cabinets For open storage, things like products, fixings etc, and things that are easily misplaced, like screws, nails, and a pegboard wall centered for hand tools etc. I would also create a workbench on castors in the middle, one open to house timber and that can act as a work horse, with a vice, deep drawers suspended below a rustic timber top, or if your metal worker, perhaps a stainless steel benchtop. This can be pushed around for your needs, even outdoors for sanding etc. Knowing what you do, and what particular trade tools you use would help others make suggestions relevant to your needs.

Comments (5)From what you have said, I think smaller separate pieces such as couch and chair(s) rather than a large sectional is likely to work better in the space and still allow for traffic flow. However, if you still have lots to do then don't rush to make large purchases. In the meantime, if your current sectional looks better pulled away from the wall a bit, then perhaps you could rotate the side table so that the long side runs parallel with the sofa arm instead of the wall. Would that help to stop it blocking the doorway and resolve the 'not quite right' placement?...See MoreGarden Shed Design Help Please
Comments (14)I'm a male -- I was going to say it has to tie in IMO . But then I remembered . I'm a car nut , and I did buy a house ( and lived in it for 8 years ) that had was 150sq mtrs in white weatherboard with french doors , a concrete terrace right across the front , dark green iron roof , white picket fence , large section -- you get the idea . It even had conifers and a couple of standard roses when I bought it ! Out the back was a 450 sq mtr workshop ( including a pit ) that was unpainted concrete block , a faded red roller door ( probably 4 mtrs x 4 mtrs ! ) and a red iron roof ! It wasn't until I was wanting to sell that I painted the roller door and roof in that 'roof' green , and the side door and window frames in white ! These days my workshop is a commercial building , and my garage matches my house ....See MoreHelp with bathroom vanity light placement
Comments (9)I just finished our new ensuite, which has a 1600mm vanity. I have 4 lighting circuits (switches): 1. 2 x downlights for the main bathroom in a similar place to you. 2. Another 2 x downlights ( 1 over each sink) 250mm off the wall (vanity is 500mm deep so halfway between person and mirror). 3. Extractor Fan / Heat Lamp and 4. Strip light under vanity for late night trips. The downlights are dimmable so you can have the main bathroom in a medium light and then you can choose how much to crank your vanity lights. The idea is that the light should shine onto your face hence they are installed in front of the person and they are on a gimble so they can be tilted to point at your face. I think you are in Australia so I can tell you they are the Domus Aqua Tilt 13 and are fully sealed (ip65) so no issue having over your shower, etc. They are also very bright as the light bounces off the white tiles, so really they are only needed when applying makeup. It's hard to know exactly where your lighting needs to go when you just have plans in front of you, but you could always get your electrician to wire both for wall sconces and downlights and then when you are further along you can choose whether to cut downlights or have wall lights. (Remember to take pictures and measurements of the wire locations before they close in the walls / ceiling!) If you try downlights first, it's also a lot easier to change your mind (i.e patch a ceiling) than wall lights as that usually means drilling through tiles.....See Morebigreader
