Need advice for my spare room
Comments (3)Hi. An office lends itself well in terms of use and a white room is perfect. In terms of styling, I wouldn't worry too much but get some practical furniture. A smart glass desk would look great with some freestanding book shelves would avoid drilling into the walls. You could add a few little accessories around the room, cement and copper are in trend - see images....See MoreHow can I add warmth to my powder room?
Comments (22)I think you can very well still have plants in a windowless room- as long as you're willing to give them regular little 'windowsill holidays' in another room. I'd go with succulents, there are some great warm colour combos (see Pinterest for ideas) and the geometric shapes mimic your tiles. Of course, there are some incredible fake ones around too, saw one last week I could not pick from the real thing. I'd be tempted to mix in some of both to balance aesthetics with practicality! Separately, I'd be careful of adding any soft furnishings (rugs, spare towels, etc) to a small powder room. We are all aware these days that a flushed loo spreads germs a meter around it- I wouldn't want to be collecting and trapping them! I think (subtle) fragrance and votives would warm this lovely space without impeding hygiene....See MoreLarge butlers pantry or reading room?
Comments (22)H Tracey, When you have males in the family you need an extra loo, they tend to like to use that as their reading room!! Our house has beautiful parquetry floors as well and we love them wouldn't have anything else. Love that window so can see why hubbie was wanting to sit by it and read, but not really the best quiet place in the house, so thinking again. but did think that would make a great pantry to the kitchen and if the door was left open at the other end of the pantry that's what you would see. Also a great spot to continue a bench from the kitchen (as per photo) that you could sit at and ponder what to cook for dinner while searching the internet Just like corner cabinets in a kitchens which I hate and think are bad design, I prefer not to have islands that only give you one way access it's too restrictive, a free standing island is far more functional by giving easy access to the meals and the family area, and in my opinion looks better and up to date if you're looking to update your kitchen. Keeping mind that the old Pantry is/could be load bearing I still think it's a better use to have the pantry over a reading room, even with the lovely window, perhaps you could move it to a better place where it could be enjoyed by all.

Comments (10)I’d buy a small round table and 4 comfy chairs to sit around it. I’ve done this in my lounge room. It gets used for a games table for the kids. I’ve used it to have lunch with my girlfriends instead of the twelve seater family table. It’s so much more special. Intimate dinner parties for 4. Card games etc. Also extra lounge chairs for entertaining in lounge room have come in very handy. I’ll include some pictures from Pinterest....See More
