[wowfudge]

lala sometimes called metamorphic furniture it's something which can be turned into something as part of the design, so a sofa that pulls out to become a bed, a stool that unfolds into a set of steps.

[HerBluebiro]

Lots of natural light.

Our last house had a wonderful bay window. Property one you could walk into. This one just has a bowed window so flat wall, but window pokes out in a curve. The full bay was better. And I want another one! But I also like having windows on more than 1 wall. 3 if possible.

I like grey. I like family photos. I like art of any size. I like books on bookshelves with little meaningful trinkets in front of them. I like space for children to play. I like gardens. I like rooms to be used. No matter what for - I'm gonna get rid of my study because I work in the lounge. And turn it into a utility room. So my washer can come out of my dining room. No matter how I try to hide it in cabinetry. Some really nice cabinetry. I know it is still a washing machine and it needs to go!

[Dowser]

I love white walls...in every room.

Oh according to most of the lists on here - you'd all like my house ! Phew !!!

[LivLemler]

Colour. Big soft sofas. Big windows. Light. Family photos. The feeling that everyone's welcome and I'm not terrified of spilling - because once that fear is there my clumsiness ramps up and it's inevitable.
