Not for me, I find the concrete floors too harsh, the one good thing about them when they go off trend easy to cover with something else.

It sounds like a big and expensive project, but nobody can give you the right answer with so little information. Perhaps you should consider engaging a design professional to help you. You have about a million decisions to make ahead of you, and it can be exhausting doing all the research for each decision. The correct design professional can pull it all together fairly quickly after visiting your home and taking a brief, and you can be sure that the whole lot will be co-ordinated and complementary. My only suggestion from the information that you have supplied is to consider the new work to be in sympathy with the existing house (don't put a Hamptons style kitchen in a mid-century home), don't follow the latest fashion as it will date quickly, allow for lead times for tiles, and pay a lot of attention to your lighting. There are lots of suitably qualified professionals on Houzz so make direct enquiries to a few locals, and go with your gut feeling, Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

Hi Mampreet, Gorgeous kitchen, a few inspiration photos for you for your lovely rooms, some great stools, a modern sofa, throw in a colour you love for cushions and throws, you could make a feature of your tv mounting it to look really stylish, a great rug to pull it all together, gorgeous.

Hello Maria, AAHH the old L shape lounge/ dining that NEVER worked! It was always just a walk thru with no where to place furniture. Blocking off to the kit is a good start. How to use the space is entirely up to you and what you like to do, want to do, have lots of folks in the home needing to do? How many live there? which way is north, would you like a pantry or bigger/newer kitchen? What happens in the rest of the plan? All bedrooms used or would you like an ensuite: I have seen this arrangement changed into a master, robe and ensuite very successfully. Personally I could fill it with book shelves, a very comfy chair, rug and table for cuppa and you would never hear a peep out of me again!! But it is a long way to the kettle: maybe a door would help! a little more info would bee good please.... Is the area outside the kitchen to the left of pix above a social area: could this open onto that? I'm sorry too many questions but it is the best way to get it right for you! Cheers Margot
