Help with layout of long narrow kitchen / diner
Comments (10)Hello Karen, The pic is a bit too small and doesn't really enlarge to see what's happening here.. It's not always the case that offering another bedroom would be the right way to go in order to make more money as I'm assuming this is the reasoning... If the space is obviously kitchen and dining it's really difficult too with the spatial configurations to offer this as living room as well. I think a straight galley would be good here and what I would design, but with windows possibly not this run on window side but on the opposite side with the configuration I'm going to suggest... Start with a full height fridge freezer in the corner Then have a run of two cabinets and then free standing range at 60 wide and then two further low cabinets and then sink with slimline dishwasher for example.. So roughly going to about 460 or so. . Maybe you could incorporate a free standing dresser for crockery/glassware opposite and then the 4 cupboards would be pots and pans etc... keeping the galley minimal means the space opens as much as possible... . How you deal with the colours etc will of course have further impact.. If you had this on the wall side you could then have some overhead cabinets if you wanted to... Many interesting ways of doing this that is not just uniform and boring.. I'd keep the front room as a living room and rear as bedroom, there may be a way to re plan the bathroom to make it smaller whilst retaining what is essential... for a bath consider a soaking tub which is a meter wide or a tiny bath with shower fitting overhead.. : ))...See MoreHelp on the layout of my long narrow living room
Comments (7)I agree with Alix ie I would use the one end for something else so it seems like two rooms just opened up into each other rather than one long room Perhaps a reading book by the south window? Ie day bed/lounge to chill out on with a rug under it to define that area. Then have your L shaped sofa facing towards the tv/fire in the North side. Shame you have the door right in the middle but it can still work as long as you don’t block it up too much. What other rooms are around it? Whole plan would help...See MoreHelp with layout and furnishings for a narrow long lounge!
Comments (5)A darker cool color (blue, green, black) on the 'head walls' will make the room more 'compact'. Or by painting the dining area a different wall color the room will be cut up in two. Keep the arch the same color as the ceiling though. And yes, some new seating will do wonders! Either a 3/4p sofa and some smaller armchairs or a corner sofa, like below. Look for a slightly longer media cabinet. Just one, so remove the table. Instead of a coffee table, place a side table next to the sofa's and/or some small stools that can double up as seating when needed. Then you might want to consider removing the volant curtains and hang more subtle honeycomb blinds and/or floor to ceiling semi transparent drapes. And remove the rug, it is too small (so is the sheepskin in the image below) and accentuates the narrow. A rug should be (nearly) as wide as the seats on it....See MoreLong, narrow garden - in need of creative layout ideas
Comments (19)Congratulations on your purchase. It looks like a lovely space to make your own. How little is your girl? One thing I've learned is that empty open spaces are not necessarily immediately conducive to kids play. They like hiding themselves and things behind things (trees, bushes, flowers, dens, playhouses). The series of rooms / zones thing could really work. The big hits all the kids I know are water play and a swing. Water play could be a tray or a raised table somewhere. Or a mud kitchen. And of course the classic summer paddling pool and jumping over the sprinkler. Could you fit a swing in somewhere? Maybe a pergola attached to the garden office? It can be a baby swing seat to begin with and then turn into a stylish boho rope seat suitable for older kids and teenagers. Once girls get older, the stats show that most do not do as much physical exercise. They do seem to like trampolining though- and it's fantastic exercise! Do think about where one could go in the future (including the dug in type)....See MoreMatthews Architectural Projects
