linoleum all over, maybe different colours. It is nice to live on, and has the potential to look good with walls and doors that are a bit wonky as it looks very clean.
Any pictures of this kind of thing? Further down the line we'll need to do floors. I agree in that its unlikely we could get a good finish at a non eyewatering cost for wood, so would be nice to see other finishes and what could be achieved with them.

Not really, sorry. #marmoleum isn't bad though.
It's mainly the memory of a flat a designer friend of mine had.
50/50 grey in the whole one bedroom flat, including bathroom, all seamless.
Made it really spacious feeling, and all the furniture, even the battered stuff, looked great. -
Option 2 is probably my preferred option at the moment - I think option 1 is just too open between the hallway and the kitchen. I think pocket doors between dining room and hallway and kitchen would be a good, clean option to make sure we can have guests over without it being too noisy upstairs for the kids sleeping
-
Depends what you put in the dining space, but having to navigate through it when you want to put the kettle on after returning from a cold & wet winter outing could be a ballache. Immediate access to the kitchen from the hall is valuable, I think.
Guess you can side-step that problem if you have side access?
-
technically rear access via a lane - we're mid terrace - but yes, it's very handy.
Oh this is what we have. Except, the garden shed / palace thing installed by the previous blocks off the entrance to our garden. I was dreaming of putting a door in the back of it to allow access again.
FWIW I'm totally considering putting our kitchen in the front room. Immediate access from the hall, can close it off from the rest of the house, gets all the light in the morning, can use the existing chimney as a flue / extractor etc.
-
I think a big utility/boot room is really nice but if you need the office space that would be the reason for 2. I think getting a view through the house and maybe of the garden in number 1 is nicer but that is personal preference
-
+1 for option two although feel the breakfast nook facing a wall with your back to the garden is a little redundant, I’d go more storage, you can never have enough.
-
agree - i don't think we'll even have a chest freezer tbh
@chrisbmx116 I'm inclined to agree but wife likes the idea
-
The journey to the kitchen is a bit long in option two. Also can the WC not be a big wet room? Is the wall between the sitting room and hallway structural? I'd loose that to open up the hallway deadspace. But it all really depends what's important to you and how you use spaces most.
Do you wfh 5 days a week? Sod a tiny office.

Coming downstairs and seeing the back of your house missing is pretty terrifying but it hasn't fallen down yet. Steel is due this week which will be a relief.
All the shit we went through doing the loft last year has definitely made me a lot more relaxed about everything, plus we've been able to annex off ours and our kid's rooms so there's at least a safe haven away from it all.
