New Home: Slate floor tiles throughout entire home??
Comments (11)I have a house that is tiled in a multicolour slate tile all through the living areas. The house was built in the 90's and was only 4 years old when I bought it in 1996. I am assuming your tile is also a natural stone?? if so it will need sealing as they are porous and may need resealing down the track, we have only resealed our floor once. Make sure you keep a note of the brand and type of the sealer for future reference.I would not take it through to the bedrooms - too much. The floor is very forgiving of dirt, dust, food splashes etc, if you have a busy week and don't get round to washing or vacuuming the floor no one will notice. The multicolour will work with your hamptons inspiration, careful choice of wall colour is needed, you may need to have the floor laid before you make a final choice to see what the colour it throws. A wall colour with a slight hint of colour works better with the multicolour than the bright whites or yellow whites. Hope this helps....See MoreFeedback on New build family home plans
Comments (36)Hello houzz helpers! We have a rough new plan! The kitchen, living, dining are on the north and bedrooms are on the south. We are planning to push the house to the rear (south) of our 1 acre block and have a long driveway. We can look out onto our beautiful (in time) front yard and watch the kids run wild! We plan on using landscaping along a front fence for privacy. I am concerned with the size, in regards to being way over budget, but I am hoping the simple shape of the roof will help to offset some of that. I was thinking I would get the plan as close to what we want/need then get quotes and scale back if we need to, which will involve another post on houzz ofcourse! We would love your honest feedback and I am happy to answer any questions......See MoreDecorating guest bedrooms for a new build
Comments (6)always depends on the people expected to use the rooms but usually decorate to suit your own taste to tone with the rest of the house but furniture should suit the use..eg a parent/relative or close friend coming for a regular weekend could have a home away from home with schemes to suit "mum's favourite colours" and storage for clothes and toiletries to be kept in "their" rooms but an occasional guest would not expect the room to be kept for their personal use and you could make the rooms useful for a study or MPR with a comfy sofa bed and desk for guests...See MoreNew Build: Bedroom off living and kitchen design
Comments (13)While the list of rooms and spaces seems to be adequate for a four bedroom home the relationship of these spaces to each other and the outside seems to be poor, and the amount of natural light is also poor. I would consider swapping master bedroom with WIR and ensuite so it is on the corner of the house. A small hallway between the family and the master bedroom would give you the separation you need without taking a chunk out of the corner of the family room. I would also swap the laundry with the kitchen, so the kitchen is on the rear corner of the house and has an opportunity for an external window. The two-way lounge room at the front will be problematic to furnish, and will make it easy for any little kids to wander out the front door without parents knowing about it. If it is an adult space then you don't need an opening to the kids hallway leading to their bedrooms. If it is a kids play space then you don't need an opening into the entry hall. By having both puts the function of the room into question. I suggest to most of my clients that spaces for computer use by kids are better placed in a more public area, like a family room, rather than shut away, as there are lots of bad things on the internet, and some supervision is needed. If it is a study for an adult for professional use then more separation from the kids' area may be warranted. The family room seems to be very internal and focussed on the TV without much of an outlook. It may be worthwhile getting a design professional to do an internal sun and shadow study so that you understand how little sunlight your home will get during the year.
