A room with a view?

Any room that cleans and tidies itself. And doesn't allow clutter to accumulate. So I can just walk in and sit down and read a book or watch a film.

We have a tiny galley style kitchen I would love a kitchen with a big table in the middle where people could congregate. I would also love a conservatory. We do however have a living room which large patio window so we can look at the garden as we sit.

We have a room with a view, but it's open to the elements.
Our house has a barn attached, at 90°. We knocked the end wall down, leaving the wooden end frame, so that it's open on 2 sides, with a view of the Pyrenees.
Table and chairs and a hammock seat inside, but nothing posh.
I would love to paint the back wall (breeze blocks) with a mural, but I'm not clever enough.

When I see the OP I keep humming the song:

Enjoy!

I'd like a bedroom like the one in the film 'Rebecca' that was the first Mrs de Winter's; exquisitely beautiful with leaded windows overlooking the sea (in fact I would love the whole house!) but I would be willing to forego the services of Mrs Danvers !

I'd love a library/music room, with shelving for all my books and room for more; a sofa and some comfortable chairs, not new and chintzy but old and worn but with big feather cushions; a grand piano; an open fire; and a view over an estuary, with the tide and the weather changing the colours all the time.

That's why holidays are so important to me. I choose properties that are totally different from our London house .... so end up with sea views, mountains, lakes and rivers. Bliss. I can dream for a week, and I often wonder why the owners don't live in them permanently.

I would love a big kitchen with room for a comfy sofa and small bookcase overlooking
The sea it's just a dream though

Gilly and Antonia I am so lucky, I had my ideal room built last year. A lovely big wooden shed for all my craft work, it has everything I could possibly want including a loo. I don't have to tidy stuff away as its my room and I can make all the mess I like. So I spend time gluing and sticking, sewing, crocheting, with radio 4ex or audiobooks for company, bliss!

A conservatory or sun room overlooking the sea. (I can take a book or craft in there and tidy it away afterwards. )

Otherwise I will settle for a large kitchen with a dining area and patio doors leading on to a fabulous garden.

Ps our conservatory warms up really quickly and is toasty on the coldest day

I would love a kitchen/ dining/ living room which looks out onto the garden. Planning has been applied for and we will probably start work in March. I hate being in the kitchen when we have guests and DH hates being alone in the living room when it's just the two of us and I'm getting dinner ready in the kitchen. There will be bifold doors out to the garden so in the summer it will feel as if we are outside. Can't wait!

I have created the rooms I would like to live in but, if I could have anything I wanted, it would be a Georgian drawing room with high ceilings and a view either of the coast or sweeping countryside or of a perfect unspoiled English Georgian village square with a medieval church.

I know someone with a Victorian former workshop, not too large, converted to a house. Large living, dining kitchen room, bathroom off. Mezzanine with bed and study area above. A spacious yet cosy space, not all glass and steel like some conversions. I'd push him out given half a chance !

I'm very fortunate in that I'm living in my dream home now that the building work is complete.
We moved to Ireland 2 years ago and our new modern home has a semi open plan kitchen/diner/sunroom which is my perfect room(s). The sunroom is long and has a big picture window at the end overlooking fields and you can see the Kerry mountains in the distance.

Sunrooms are ten times more popular here in Ireland than conservatories because they can be used all year around. We have triple glazing and lots of insulation and the house is so much cheaper to heat than our old (100yrs) house back in the UK. There's even some standing stones in the field behind our house and I'm sure they're sending us positive energies.

We used to have a conservatory in the UK but it was either too hot or too cold. If you're thinking of building a conservatory, definitely consider a sunroom instead.

My DH wanted a library with lots of shelving for his books and he has that too. So we're both happy.

Gosh I think any house would be a start! I dislike my (temp) glad immensely. I am not allowed to decorate or hang pictures let alone put my bookshelves up! ?
A sunken bath and a powerful shower would be fab!
I love cooking and would relish a bigger kitchen (I too have no drawers, not even for cutlery! ) that I could have a large dining table for entertaining!
Oh and a separate utility room with a back door (where I can go for a smoke!!) ?
In other words I have to win the lottery! !! ?

Definitely a craft room, with a large window for lot of natural light,a long bench for sewing machines on one side of the room and another one the other side for leatherwork, plus lots of wooden storage for all tools and equipment. I'm sure it's never going g to happen though, so I make do with the third bedroom which has to be used for the DGC when they come to stay.

A craft room where I could have a work bench for painting, an arm chair for knitting and lots of shelves to keep all the supplies on. It wouldn't matter about the mess and I wouldn't have to put everything away when I finished.

I'm also with Kitty ---- kitchen/dining/snug all in one that will take a table for 6 or 8, but with a hidden leaf to take it up to seating 12. Two sofas, footstools, throws, all comfortable and cosy. Double doors to open into the garden in the summer.
Utility room with loo.

I reckon we'd be living in it all the time.

In fact, I've mentioned before, but one of the houses on the dunes between Aldeburgh and Thorpeness would do me fine, thank you!! Xx

A music room with a grand piano and a wonderful view.

I'm with you Kitty but a kitchen with drawers would be a start!

A library.

I'd love a grand room with high ceilings, looking out over a cityscape. Perhaps in central Paris. There'd be a big fireplace with a real fire, and elegant but comfortable sofas. It would be painted in dark greys or blues, all toning. No clutter BUT I'd like to have room for books, maybe on shelves over the door.

I'm not a kitchen-y person and dislike cooking, so my apartment would have to be central to mcdonalds restaurants where I would be a regular, regaling customers with a stream of witty stories and lively banter.

Obviously I'd have enough room for a baby grand piano, which would be miraculously quiet and respectful of the neighbours. I'd spend hours at the instrument composing cool jazz and drinking Pernod until the early hours, maybe in the company of my eclectic musical friends. Naturally, I would remain miraculously wrinkle-free and healthy of liver.

I wouldn't need a car, of course, but my apartment would come complete with parking space for my beloved Alfa Spider, with its personalised plates and specialist paint job..remarkably unscratched and unvandalised and ready and waiting for jaunts into the countryside.

I wish.

Would love a huge kitchen with fitted units etc.

A room with a view over the ocean would be perfect for me .. ain't gonna happen though
