How would you furnish?
Comments (7)Image 1 with bigger kitchen. Looks quite good. Dining area is very generous at 6000mm, as is the laundry at 2500mm wide. Many laundry's are 1800 wide which is acceptable so 2500 is generous indeed. Good for ironing and clothes sorting. Cavity slider to pantry as it'll be open 99% of the time and look like 'no door'. Make study bigger by relocating the bedroom BIR to run along the hallway wall near the door. It'll make the bedroom smaller, say 3300 (600mm for BIR) but thats still quite good for a single bedroom. Also easier to furnish as it reduces circulation pathways across the bedroom. Also make entry area wider with the possibility of a wall to define the entry rather than entering directly into the living area. You'll need a place for coats, shoes, etc. even for guests to place down their items so a bench or a cupboard to hide everyday items is a worthy addition. Watch out for the tall windows as they diminish your furniture placement options. Privacy and energy efficiency comes into it as well. Views are important but its a combination of everything....See MoreHouzz Community! How much would you spend on your kitchen renovation?
Comments (8)I could spend $50-100k on my kitchen , but I won't . Right now , it is clean , tidy , it all works , and I have painted and tiled and laid new flooring . I have every appliance I need and then some ( a pizza oven and sausage roll maker and ice cream spirally thing probably aren't necessities , but just about are now after having them haha ) . More storage would be good , but thats a double edged sword -- I've built a 2nd 400sq mtr shed for my 'toys' , and if I want any more I'll have to sell haha ....See MoreHow would you improve this kitchen?
Comments (4)Paint cabinets, replace weird oven box with an oven tower and install overhead cupboards on rest of that wall. That’s the quick fix....See MoreHow to brighten up a dark entry way…
Comments (14)I think you have the overall mix wrong , and IMO that is at least part of the problem . The first thing that jumped out at me was the wall colour -- it is too 80's in my opinion . Go lighter , an off-white but hold the butter haha . Then add a mirror one wall , an artwork with lots of yellows and whites ( preferably in a timber frame that matches the other timber that I'll outline ) . A couple of other commentators have said about the 3 wood tones , and I genuinely think the darker ceiling and beams isn't helping , plus it clashes ; and while some people think the door and floor are too different in tone , I actually would varnish the door -- the mix of matt and gloss is more a sin than the tone differences , again my opinion . Ideally , slightly darken the door before varnishing if you can . And echoing others -- the light bulb is shocking ! Go modern if it suits , or rustic , just no plastic witches hats or those rice paper balls please !...See Moreerica320
