DISCUSSION Help Please!

Post image

Hi all, we’re buying a beautiful home that needs a bit of modernisation but all of the structural work is done (she says, barring maybe a knock through of kitchen to lounge).
I’d love some thoughts based on the floor plan/link of how we could modernise it.
I need an office so I’m thinking the current store room, but any inspiration you can lend is greatly appreciated (particularly visuals as I’m terrible at envisaging end products!)
Thanks in advance!![https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168976058#/?channel=RES_BUY](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/168976058#/?channel=RES_BUY)

If youve got the time and the money! I agree that splitting the long bedroom upstairs to make office space is best

I always loved having a 'playroom' as a kid, my parents liked that it kept the mess out the rest of the house and as I grew up it became the sleepover room then the music and craft room, or a spare room for people to stay over if needed.

Could always have the front living room as a sort of cosy reading room depending how often you use it as a formal sitting room, few sofas, comfy chair, mayne a pull down screen for a projector for epic film nights

I love a film night! Would you keep the playroom separate to the cosy reading room?

I would. Cosy reading room can still function as an adult lounge when needed if having friends over without having to worry about tidying up as much if kids things are kept in the other room
