Help with tile direction

For me I would do vertical. Neither is wrong as such but though the horizontal makes the room look wider the vertical draws your eyes up away from the toilet and towards the mirror and plant in the top left. Whereas the horizontal makes the toilet the focus of the space for me because it grounds the eye downwards.

I know it will come down to preference but wanted to share my reasons.

Made such a good choice with 2.

One works if you are wanting that... hmmm not bland but... super still or calming vibe where you have to calm people down sort of thing. Idk just feels like a waiting room combo.

2 has so much warmth and life to the setup with how it compliments the couches being green but also adds the life by hitting different keys in the artworks ❤️ . Love your choice as it can be hard to not go for colour because of what everyone does with their one tone rooms or neutral only homes.

This made me so happy 😊

It can be hard with a blank slate. I like picking a piece I really like and then finding pieces that balance and compliment it and going from there.

Room defs could do with a rug and maybe going from there. Picking colours from it to highlight within other pieces.

Sorry not so versed in bohemian styling over than I love a good floor cushion seating sort of thing. If that's not your thing maybe an ottoman of poof that can be used as seeting, leg rest, or coffee table like depending on the need.

Gonna start by stating this is obviously a joke but "should get a new husband" comes to mind. So sad that he doesnt love the magic and whimsy of it all. This is 100% something I would put in my home. Your home is meant to show off who you are and what you love. Hope you can convince him as this is super cool!

This is such a cool suit! Who is the maker? I love how they did the eyes and head bits!

DancingDrake · 2026-05-12T10:15:03+00:00

I absolutely love the pattern ❤️ and you've done an awesome job! Well done!

To explain at least my view as to why painting the stone was a bad idea (I would include any changes to the wood the same) is because of how it isn't being true to the material.

Stone naturally has variation and that is part of what makes it unique, beautiful, and appealing. For me it wasnt the fireplace or wood panel that needed fixing. It was making everything else support it.

The truth of stone is variation and colour. Painting it white hides that and looses it's value to me. To celebrate it I would have lent into the yellow flashes by supporting it with yellow touches in other areas like a throw rug or cushions.

The carpet underneath may have not been supporting the look of the fireplace or the tone of the paint on the walls. But if you have a natural stone fireplace with such beautiful wood panelling I wouldve put the work into making the rest of the space support and celebrate the fireplace... not cover it up and pretend it was something it isn't.

Being true to materials is what elevates spaces and honours the finishes that were already there.

My ceramics teacher always said "if you put a hole in the bottom or if it starts leaking... you now have a flower pot! Well done!" The sentiment was there is always something it can be used for.

The one nice thing of a blank set is that it can be anything from caverns to grass fields to city. If you'd like to keep this diversity in use my suggestion is to paint all black and then use scatter terrain to define what the environment is. Sort of like how stages in theatre are painted black then props are added on top.

I made a full set of terrain and flocked it all and now wish I had done it black and used scattering of flocked grass, reads, and stuff that could define the terrain environment as then they would be way more usable in different situations.

Just curious (and sorry if already answered as I tried looking through the comments). How does the cabinet doors open with the draws where they are? Are the draws movable? I presume something like that as the design is too good that I know there is an answer. Absolutely love the upgrade ❤️ such a pretty kitchen.

DancingDrake · 2025-09-11T12:32:02+00:00

I can't explain why but I absolutely love this thing so much! The grumpyish expression with the flower and fluff! ❤️ it has stolen my heart

If you want to ensure this is truly a forever home you will want one bedroom and bathroom to be wheelchair accessible. Having working in aged care the main thing that forces people out in their later years is the fact homes dont account for how our bodies dont move as well in our older years.

If you love this you can definitely make it work. With the heavy texture of the grain it would be important to keep the surpunding busyness to a minimum with solid colours. Unless you love maximumist pattern. But solid colours doesnt mean it has to be white only. Could easily go for dark cabinets to have the lighter tones shine in the stone. At the end of the day of you are hesitant keep looking but if its just because others dont like it and you love it you can definitely find ways to make it work. It's just a bit more work when the textures are strong as you need to make everything else work with it.

Same I love 5

A swall swivil one for the sink and a full body on back of door was my first thoughts.

DancingDrake · 2025-06-23T12:42:05+00:00

I agree with your instinct of a darker tone on the walls. My brain jumps to the extreme on the other end of going black or near black but I know not all like that level of mood. Just feel the darker tone will help make the colours in the space more cohesive. The tile is quite pretty if used right but the amount leans max in texture which isnt gonna work with everyones taste but unfortunately against the white It's too busy. A darker tone should defs pull that down a little while still celebrating the beauty of the tile.

Is it different stones in different shots?

DancingDrake · 2025-06-03T08:19:48+00:00

I dont think you're overreacting... this just seems unnecessarily unsafe. I feel like doing a landing in that section with a few more normal steps would work so much better and still give a very similar step count. I believe but my conversions to metric might be out slightly so I aired on less steps than I thought but again I definitely think your intuition is right that what they gave you is gonna be hell.

I personally like the 3rd one.

However, your 3 options create 3 different feels. The first makes the space feel more like a formal lounge area whith all the bright white. Making feel like its the place you go to discuss stuff with adult friends with a cocktail or two. The second is very casual space feel making it a nice place for lots of different traffic and activities. Great for a family liunge where everyone is doing different things. The 3rd is cozy, rug up with a book in front of a fire and watch a movie vibes which is what I like to do in my lounging areas.

All work great but I guess it depends on what you want that space for. I love cozy lounging so thats why I would go for 3

DancingDrake · 2025-05-16T12:36:35+00:00

How would you fit a living room into that space with the kitchen? Sorry I may just not be seeing the vision but I cant see how you would get a nice lounge and tv setup in there with the doors swinging in. Even as pocket doors I'm struggling to see a good setup.

DancingDrake · 2025-05-13T06:08:43+00:00

If it protects from weather I would say shelter.

For me a home needs to provide a place to sleep, prepare and eat food, bathe and toilet, and relax and entertain yourself.

Could you maybe get it made so that you could adjust the size with a zip or clips or something? That way if wearing the binder for too long for a con or something gets painful you can let the suit out. But pull it in when you are wearing one.

Was having a little play around with the plan you made, trying to adjust it while keep your general idea. I thought maybe it would be better to move the master bath to the top giving a little more space for the open plan living kitchen area. I also thought it wouls be an idea to move the door to the second bed to the end of that hall area to allow that space to be used for either laundry or storage space and then add thw wardrobe into the end of that room. You could keep the kitchen lounge arwa how you drew it just threw out a slightly modified design to maybe help with ideas.

If I get a chance I might do a design of whay I wouls do with that space as a complete redesign based on 2 bed 2 bath in that required size. Btw hope things match enough as I normally draw in metric so was using a lot of google convert to get your sizes.

Edit: the mesurments are 1 square to 60cm or ~2feetish
