What the experts say

Sherry Wales

Creative Director, In-house Interior Designer / James Mayor

Bathrooms

As there is a lot going on in the small space of a bathroom, keep pattern restricted to one area, the floor or the wall or keep to a single palette for tiles and walls. Choose the best sanitaryware and fittings you can afford as this is the most expensive room per square metre to re-fit within the home.

Office/Study

Give yourself room to grow in a space and ensure that the storage volume is adequate for your type of work/paperwork. Don’t be afraid to have things behind doors as pretty files/boxes on show won’t stay looking nice for long if you are not a naturally tidy person.

Bedrooms

If you like to read at bedtime or want a TV in your bedroom, ensure that you have all of the electrics in the right place to mean you don’t have to get out of bed to turn things off and on. Buy the best quality bedlinen you can afford and use scented candles or oils to create a restful atmosphere.

Living Rooms

This room will need to meet the requirements of the whole family as it will be a space for TV, entertaining, family time and quiet time. Make sure the sofa is the right size for the room and doesn’t dominate, leaving too little room for coffee or side tables and always have enough seats for every person in the house plus 2 guests to ensure that the space accommodates the required number of people for the house.

Kitchens

When looking at layout, make a list of the appliances that are must haves, and don’t forget to include pull out bins or wine coolers, if they are important to you. Also washing machines and tumble driers or a combi if space is at a premium and the house has no separate utility room. These appliances, along with sink, cooker and fridge will sometimes dictate the layout of the room.

If the dictated design is unworkable for you, it will probably be the same for everyone, so you will need to consider structural changes before investing in a kitchen design that is destined to fail. Whether it is knocking through a wall to an adjoining room, blocking a door or extending the space, there is always a solution with creative thinking.
