I like the photos on houzz but I live in the UK. I'm fed up with sales brochures for bedrooms which are bigger than our entire ground floor. And kitchens with half a dozen bifold doors on each wall.

Where do you go for real life inspiration ?

Pinterest can be quite good

I haven't figured out how to filter pinterest yet (to remove show room houses). Currently use right move as my source of real houses.

OnePlan I'd have to concentrate on staying in the saddle, not posting to mn !

I think I'll stick with right move. The irony is that there's nothing in our area that has the right price/style etc to compare with our house (housing market is static here) and checking out other areas feels, well, like stalking at a distance. Still that's what rightmove gets you !

I need open kitchen dining room ideas. And double sink small bathroom plans....

OnePlan thanks for the link. Stunning pictures ! Still somewhat difference size to the spaces I'm looking at but great to see UK-sized appliances and furniture for once on Houzz.
