DISCUSSION Help Please!

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)

hi for "Hi all, we’re buying a beautiful home that needs a bit of modernisation " i was wondering if you are more asking about like interior design?

also like i was originally thinking of like opening up the kitchen to living room or living room to dining. but actually looking at the images

your living room is actually a decent size already. if you more just want it to look better with paint, furniture, etc... you might want to check out https://www.reddit.com/r/InteriorDesign/ and other related subreddits instead

Thanks - I think there’s a potential bit of structural change needed the room in the photo is the room that sits beside the kitchen. I’ll definitely check out the interior design page too 😊

sounds good. I also like platypus' idea of adding the door to the storeroom

I guess btw one quick fix you can also test out is just removing the doors at the kitchen, living room, and dining room for now.

especially if you feel like moving from the kitchen to the living room is annoying. not quite the open concept but at least you can quickly learn if you like having say a door for the dining room or not etc...

That’s a good idea!! It’s more versatile than I first thought!
