What a gorgeous area, I would give it a conservatory feel. Leave the tiles to define the area. I note she has a rattan tub chair ?? I would move that to that corner, find it a mate, move other cane and rattan accessories to there, add a small round table and some lush plants. The tub chair looks like it would double as a lounge chair as well as a dining chair for breakfast or casual lunches. Sorry I can't find photos, everything is for much larger areas.

Could you put the laundry behind doors so that you won't see it with the walk through...by the way...I am just over the water in OZ, know what you mean by costs... will get some pics....this would be my option...just going on what you are saying.... The good thing about this is that you can shut the laundry away except for when you are washing...... I would have the washer with the dryer next to it if you can and put a bench over the top of the both of them....for this it is worth getting a front loader if you haven't already got one.. this will avoid the bench on the other side...it can all be contained and done on the one side of the laundry. Don't go for sliding doors ...the glass look great but they will need a bottom track and if they don't have one...they will move a lot....not great for this even though they look great. As for having the bench over the top of the washer and dryer, you can then have overhead shelving, does not need to be cupboards as the bifolds will hide what is in there...double cost other wise. hope this helps...Robyn

I think the shelves would be better as there's not this huge room taking up space. What did you end up doing?

This thread deserved more attention. The layout was pretty good too! dart, pest spraying service
