Look at this DIY floor plan!
Comments (5)Congratulations, really good bones, lots of nice natural light. I was a bit unsure if you were about to do kitchen laundry. The current kitchen looks neat and tidy but here are a few thoughts if that is what you are about to do. I love bamboo floors. Would be good to see what they look like. Some thoughts Structurally are you able to take out the two kitchen walls that enclose the kitchen from the living dining. Leave the entrance wall in creating an open plan living dining with either a peninsula or an island bench with breakfast bar. Keep that area closed from rest of the house as is now to save on your heating cooling costs. Can you locate the laundry into the current mud room and perhaps expand that room - though functionally it is a long way from the rest of house. It may pay to get a building designer to help you. The fee would be worth it. Especially if changing structural features like walls. Court yard - are you able to put a roof over it then you would be able to walk to games room under cover depending how much access you would like to that room and how frequently you would use it. However you would behave box gutters and they would need to be able to take high volumes of rain Good luck and keep us posted with updates....See MoreDo or don't – continuity or different colours for each room?
Comments (5)I think as long as the white tiles are the same in each room, and the turquoise and grey tiles are similar shape and size, then that, would be sufficient consistency. I actually like the idea. I liken it to having rooms painted a different colour, but each has the same flooring. By the way, I wish I had gone with my gut and tiled the laundry floor charcoal grey. Instead I listened to builder and hubby who said we should use white to make the room seem bigger. Just seems bigger for me to clean more often, in my opinion lol!...See MoreSmall living area design ideas help
Comments (6)Placing seating in this area would make it look like a waiting room so I would embrace its current function as a corridor. Get a lovely area rug that is almost as big as the space, hang some art on the walls to give them some interest and soften the french doors with a blind or curtain that can be opened or closed depending on your mood. Maybe a console table and some lamps or a bench would work well. And never underestimate the power of plants. MKG...See MoreIn need of renovation (layout) ideas and inspiration
Comments (8)If you look at the master firstly , basically the bed has to go under the window I'm guessing , so everything from the bed across to the 2 doors is wasted . That small hall into the guest bedroom and 'that' WIR ( linen cupboard ? ) is also a waste of space . This may be more than you want to do , but if you took out the WIR in the master , and moved the door to where the 'flat' end or the WIR is , and continued that wall across to the external wall , you'd have a heap more usable space in the Master . The ensuite with it's angled entry then becomes bigger ( yes , I know , it's only 5 years old ) and MAYBE you could even walk through the WIR to the ensuite ( not my favourite idea , but it's an idea ) . But also , you now end up with a door straight into the guest bed , and include some of the hall , so the guest room is at least 1/3rd bigger , and the linen cupboard becomes longer ( bigger ) , or possibly even have a bigger L shaped bathroom , but thats moving more walls and maybe swapping the toilet and bathroom -- in other words , a biggie ! Just ideas , but there seems to be better ways to use the space -- it will cost $$$ , but it will presumably get you closer to your ideal layout ....See Moreoklouise

3 years agoDaniel, are they all right next to each other and flow together or more separate? Our last place the third bathroom and laundry were right next to each other so we had the same floor and wall tiles, we also actualy kept it consistent for the main and ensuite bathrooms upstairs. But we didn't tile all the way to the ceiling.

3 years agoHi, thanks for the responses, they are seperate rooms each with there own doors etc but are are about 1 meter from each other so you can see all 3 when standing in the passage way.
floor tiles would 100% have to be consistent id imagine.
Vanity is a blackbutt high grove one.
Tap wear will be a consistent brushed nickel.
Laundry cabinets would likely be upper ones white
Lower ones either “matte black” or wood but having wood doesnt seem to match well with a blackbutt vanity

3 years agoThis is some of the choices
Concerns were we dont get any real natural light in these areas so were concerned grey could look too dark?
Also its not like its a huge spacious area will it make it look more closed in?Perhaps a grey on floors, basic white on walls with a grey feature tile on the laundry splash back could work
