If you cook properly every day or the living room doubles as a workspace, it may be better to keep them separate or look at a middle ground with sliding glazed panels.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I knock down the wall between the living room and the kitchen?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Only if it isn&#8217;t load-bearing. If it is, that doesn&#8217;t make it impossible: an opening can be formed with a reinforced lintel, but it needs a structural calculation, a technical design and a major works licence. On the visit we check what kind of wall you have before proposing anything.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long does a living room renovation take?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Renewing the finishes (floor, smoothing, paint and lighting) takes one or two weeks. If walls have to be opened up and services redone, it stretches to three or four weeks. The quote gives you firm start and handover dates.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can the floor be changed without taking up the old one?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>In many cases yes: laminates and some thin porcelains are laid over the existing floor, which avoids rubble and shortens the job. We do have to check the current floor is sound and allow for the small rise in level at the doors.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can you match the living room floor to the rest of the house?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Yes, and it&#8217;s one of the decisions that unifies a home most. If the other rooms already have a floor you like, we find the reference or a compatible one; if we&#8217;re changing it all, we choose one continuous floor throughout and the changes in level disappear.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do you make bespoke furniture for the living room?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>Yes: bookcases, media units, window seats and cupboards that use awkward recesses. It&#8217;s where the difference shows most between a thought-through renovation and a room furnished with whatever was in the shop.<\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I need permission to renovate the living room?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>If you&#8217;re only changing finishes, flooring, paint and lighting, a minor works notification is normally enough. If walls are touched, and especially if they&#8217;re load-bearing, a major works licence with a technical design will be needed. We&#8217;ll advise you on what your case requires.<\\\/p>\"}}]}<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"enabled","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1899","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1899\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/montes-renovaciones.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
