Project of the Month

PROJECT OF THE MONTH, in this month's Real Homes focuses on OPEN PLAN SPACE, a great way to unify small spaces and make the most of what you already have.

It's packed with loads of expert advice and useful tips, so Quiet Mark was grateful to be included under the SOUNDS OFF section, where it says:

If your living area and kitchen space is combined, consider whether you'll find it disruptive to have the dishwasher or washing machine running in the background while you are trying to settle down for an evening film. And while an open-plan space should be well ventilated, if the extractor fan you install is too loud, it could prove to be surprisingly distracting when you're trying to have a conversation. Choose dishwashers and washing machines with the Quiet Mark symbol, and bear in mind that appliances are considered quiet at 75 decibels or lower. Building in cabinetry that can be closed off to dampen the noise levels is also really effective, especially if you don't have room for a separate utility space.
