Need help deciding which way my sliding stacker door should go
Comments (5)It looks like quite a big opening. The direction the door is sliding looks correct to me; however it looks like its drawn as a 3 panel slider with incorrect sized door leafs for an opening of that size. Might just be my eyes, but worth double checking so you get a good appreciation for the opening...See MoreFront door to kitchen/weird wall help!
Comments (17)Just a few thoughts. I like the overall concept of the kitchen but it is rather disjointed. I agree with clearing everything off the surfaces and trying to keep them free miss a feature bowl for the island. You could add an eating area as this would make it more purposeful but I would not do it if it compromised the size and functionality of your living area. The piece of timber joining the two walls at the entrance seems superfluous and I if was removed it would instantly look more contemporary. You could extend those walls up to the height of the cabinets and repaint in a lighter colour. This could reduce your light but this can be dealt with in other ways. I love wood cabinets but the top ones up look heavy- perhaps they could be painted a light colour to reflect the light coming in from the entrance but I would revisit your lighting in general. There is a lot of timber with the floor, cabinets and ceiling and this makes the space quite dark? if you did extend your walls you might find the kitchen darker so paint cabinets. I like the idea of wallpaper but only if you have an even shaped wall and if the pattern works with your living scheme. Whatever you do with your walls will need to correspond with the adjacent entrance walls. You didn't mention your budget but I would start at the simple end and if it doesn't give you the result you want move to the more complex solutions. All the best...See Moreremoving interior 60s style sliding doors
Comments (14)Corrie Z, everybody has their own taste. Your wish to remove the 1960's doors as you say they are incredibly dated and ugly is exactly opposite to many of my clients who purchase 1960's houses that still have these original features. I have even had clients who have wanted to re-instate glazed sliding doors that have been removed as they like the flexibility and ability to partially close a room off. So while they may be original not everybody agrees with you that they are ugly. Hopefully somebody who does appreciate them will be able to buy them if you put them on ebay or gumtree rather than go to landfill.

Comments (25)Has anybody asked which way it faces to know where the sun is? If this is north and a lovely place to be, actually even if it is not, you pay lots for the land therefore I would think about a high visual block so the front garden can be a social, play, read area: used by the householders. Somewhere on or back from boundary use star posts, large chicken wire, camellias &/or bushy every green shrubs and then plant out the garden with veggies or what ever you like but add a seat or three as well. A main path to front door, a paint job on fascias, gutters, trim and other elements: it would make a practical private oasis. Cheers Margot...See MoreC P
