What room is your home missing most?
Comments (43)I'm taking my bed out of my double bedroom to change into a library, otherwise I would say library. But, for me, it's down to basics: I need a kitchen and laundry! My house was a holiday cottage and to call the kitchen corner a kitchen is a far cry from the reality. I can't even stretch my arms out yet I have to cram my washing machine in there, too. Help!...See MoreStudy nook in kitchen
Comments (9)I found this Australian standard for you - though i do wonder if it should go up a bit with people getting taller and taller every year! "Australian Standard 3590.2-1990 states fixed height keyboard desks should be in the height range of 680 mm to 710mm" You could also test out your dining table to see if your desk chair fits under it at the right height....See MoreStudy needed for kids?
Comments (16)that's great, the study chairs were pretty interesting at a design expo I went to a year or so ago. At that point they were super expensive in the U.S and being used by the geeks in commercial IT hubs. They looked like something form a sci-fi set but in funky 1970's colours and really ergonomic and I think will end up in domestic settings before long. I just searched for them but can't find them and I know they were really just prototypes so not easy to find images. If I happen to come across them again, I'll post a picture....See MoreHelp please?

Comments (26)Simon, 100% agree with OKlouise, she's on the right track..... I've done a stack of these types of things.....big projects, that call for professional solutions....what I would say as a start is that there are always various ways of achieving your needs. It's not just about the rooms, it about the quality of the spaces, the proportioning their connection/relationship to both the adjacent internal and external areas.....I'm guessing from the floor plan you have a lovely older home with some traditional character...depending upon your needs for the rear yard (pool??) I see opportunities here for alternative configurations that would open this thing up and let more natural/north light into the main living/kitchen areas.....if you want my 2 cents I think for a home of this scale no you shouldn't have to pop through the kitchen to get to the study...a study nook within a kitchen is OK but as a differentiated room that could potentially be used for other purpose (always good for the property value factor ;) )....its ALL in the planning, there's a lot of money involved here so make sure you get it right and if it doesn't "feel" right, then there's an issue.....clearly here you have priorities and vision for your study, and that's great, so make sure you get it right and that the outlook is how you want it to be - so it should, it's yours!.....but it's not a simple as just swapping the spaces around/over...floor plans are delicately balanced and carefully considered/arranged and when resolved properly/professionally they will just sit there and be unquestionably "right", appropriately scaled & proportioned, not awkward, representative of your specific requirements/priorities and balanced within the particular context.......See MoreInterior Design with Style!
