Need help with recovering couch
Comments (93)Oh, okay, may need to clarify some more. If you get a new 2 seater in place of the 2 white chairs, fine, but no blue chair at all next to the 'new' 2 seater. Won't be right with a blue chair too. So what ones are you planning to recover?. If getting rid of part of it, not understanding. 2 different styles placed next to each other won't look right. I wouldn't like old blue fabrics next to new fabrics or next to 2 different styles of furniture. New 2 seater and old blue chair next to each other, not good :)...See MoreENSUITE LAYOUT

Comments (4)If you can narrow the linen cupboard, then you do do a similar layout to that GB has shown but with a changed door swing, swap the basin and WC, putting the WC on the wall beside the door so the WC is concealed behind the door....See MoreHouse plan critique?
Comments (28)windows in master bedroom need to allow views and privacy and much as i would prefer bed on NE this keeps the bed in view towards and from family room so prefer bed on south wests wall and small sliding doors pushed towards north side of room with tall narrow window beside sliding door and highlight window for light with privacy and wall space for chest of drawers...acknowledging theta the pwdr doesn't have a window but my suggested arrangement uses less total space more efficiently and is better for older kids and long stay visiting parents (more people can use the various options at the same time) and a small ventilating skylight will exhaust and brighten the toilet and vanity area ...the wide door into the lounge can be a stacker or stable door so you need to investigate local options (and everything is expensive unless it does what you want...we always use solid core doors that can be ten times the price of a basic hollow core door but love them so we economise elsewhere) and barn door between entry and family would be OK as long as you like them and it doesn't compromise lounge doors but could look ok if both doors are the same style and different widths...and location of dishwasher is personal and if you have already been unhappy with sink in main kitchen then have it in the scullery...main advantage of my suggested kitchen location is that it's closer to the front and the family area and external doors and the pantry uses the central space that can be much better illuminated with another ventilating skylight instead of a tiny external window and noisy exhaust fan...See Moreoklouise

5 years agoThank you Louise & Paul for your replies,
(a photo is below of the main door in question) not straight on, but you can see it I hope.
The Builder acknowledged that we definitely asked for the concealed sort, a mistake at time of ordering & then not followed up when we first noticed.
He could fix it, but to do so properly (& not leave a gap) would mean removing plaster and starting again.
Not a good option when this close to moving in.
Thanks Paul, we have discussed what we could have instead, as a balance, that was good advice thank you.
Thinking a solar skylight in a darker than anticipated bathroom & some floating display shelves.

5 years agoThe photo doesn't show the door clearly, perhaps you could consider changing the sliding doors to full height to make the opening look and feel wider and allowing more light. It would make a big difference and simplify the doorway. These full height square formed cavity sliders are now very popular used in both residential and commercial buildings.
