Hi all,
The previous owners had some strange ideas when it came to room layout. The door leading to the dining room, direct from the living room is approx 4 ft from one corner, and 10ft from the other. The door therefore opens virtually straight onto the settee, preventing you from seeing the chair behind it!
Anyway I've tried various layouts with no joy. I have two options, either make the door open the other way, i.e. opens outwards to the dining room, or repositiong the doorway to the far corner of the wall, and have a corner type of settee. This will also make the room feel less of a corridor. The layout I am after seems to be the "original" one from other houses nearby.
I assume the wall is load-bearing, is there a specific way to check this out. Also, I am assuming a ballpark figure of £350 to reposition the door?
Thanks for any advice/ tips
Dan
