Hi Lee

The entire space is 8 meters in length and 6 meters wide. Bearing this in mind we think it's definitely possible to have this yourself. The longest part of the 'U' should run with the longest length of the room if possible.

If you need any further help send us an email info@matteobianchi.co.uk

Many thanks

There are a few problems:- If you run the units right down the right hand wall, you make the space in the dining room narrower. You need approx 7ft plus across for dining table, that's 3 ft for the table and 2 ft for a chair either side to be pulled out in order to sit down. This leaves you with about 1ft between the side of the table and the kitchen unit next to it. Also, you will have a nib on the left hand wall where the dining room ends and the kitchen begins due to the steel that needs to sit on top of it, ( the size of the nib will be dictated by the construction of the wall & what it's supporting above ) so the space will still look divided if you don't disguise it with units above. ( Don't forget the party wall agreement ! ) I don't think you have space for units right the way down and the table and chairs. Plus you are limiting yourself to just over 6 metres of units, once you start putting an integrated fridge, then freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, you won't have much left for all the food plus pots & pans, drawers etc. All this and the dining table is not near the garden, where it would be better off. ( in my opinion ) You also need to consider the windows at the dining room end as they look quite close to the wall, will you be able to fit a unit in there without going across the window? You also need to consider the windows at the dining room end as they look quite close to the wall, will you be able to fit a unit in there without going across the window? If you could overcome the plumbing and it should be possible, then maybe you'd be better of with this:- Move the kitchen to the dining room and have the ' U' shape in there. You can still have just units on the bottom, you'll have over 9 metres of wall space for units so a third more. You won't need to worry about the nib being in the way. The dining area will be plenty big enough for the table and chairs, and you'll be able to eat and look on to the garden. You should be ok with the plumbing, it's only water feed and water waste from the sink, dishwasher and washing machine. It has to go under the floor further but at least it's not a soil pipe!

I think the gap as discussed previously on your other post, is big enough. You would be best to get your Kitchen designer to do a 3d render for you so that you can see it how it is and then make up your mind. I think aesthetically wise that if you have your peninsula across exactly half the space that it may look better, and not have a lot to do with the access size.

I personally would go for u- shape kitchen with a peninsula in the toilet end of the room.... have a wide French door put in instead of the window and door; but the star of your kitchen could be a big dining table by the new French door, looking out to the garden, as the heart of your home. Ps: a floor to ceiling cupboard along the whole wall, top right hand corner of the plan, by the door, could provide you with crucial storage, a utility area or even a little hidden desk.

Couldn’t you squeeze a compact armchair on the left of the radiator? A little table, a light, a plant and it could be your special place to seat in with a cup of coffee? It would be tricky to rethink the space now if the builders have started !! Ps: I love well thought special little corners in home, totally bespoke to your personal needs...
