Kitchen diner layout 5m x 4m
Comments (7)I agree with Gabby, the length isn't great. Eating in to the Utility isn't an option at 1.6m wide. That's 60cm for your units / appliances and a metre to stand in front. You could do this, although it does look like a small kitchen cramped in to a corner, plus you wouldn't have room for stools at the island if that's your thing. If you were going to do that, and I still think my first render ( yesterday ) was a better use of space, then i'd extend the Utility and then use the extra length of wall to make the kitchen area larger:- One big word of advice. There are pro's and con's with New Builds. You get a building guarantee which is great, but you're more than likely paying over the odds for the space compared to older properties. ( New Builds are more expensive ). You need to weigh up the cost of changing all of the above and be mindful of the fact that you are not adding value, as you are not adding square footage or refurbishing. So, it's added cost on top of the cost of the new build. That's fine as long as you are going to stay in your property long enough to recoup your outlay....See MoreHelp please with 1930’s Kitchen diner layout…
Comments (20)I’m not 100% sure I have the dimensions or orientation correct - hopefully I have. I definitely agree with taking out the stud wall between the kitchen & hall. I presume you will replace it but further away from the back wall of the house which will lengthen your kitchen. If you keep your kitchen in its current room I think you could have your run of tall cupboards as proposed in the new kitchen plan but switch the orientation of the island to run in parallel to that wall. Put the hob on the island and you will look towards the dining area as you are cooking. Having the island parallel to the tall cupboards is also a more modern look. If you take out the wall between the kitchen & current dining area too you would have the scope to make that run of cupboards a bit longer too by taking them over to your double-doors. I think you need to make that whole space at the back of the house feel like one large room (kitchen diner) - which could be achieved by including some of the same kitchen units in the dining side. Are you keeping the fireplace if you keep the kitchen in its current space?...See MoreKitchen diner layout - help please!
Comments (5)Hello Izzy, A 6.6m kitchen-lounge-diner is a great space to get creative in! I've worked on enough extensions to understand your questions about zoning and flows. I offer a very popular space planning service showing the ideal zone layout and furniture arrangement of a space, in 3D, from the point of view of an interior designer. Everything is to scale; therefore you'll get a clear idea of zone and furniture sizes and positions and decisions will come easy. I'd like to invite you to look at an example shown on my services page: www.londonfatcat.com/services I wish you all the best with your refresh! Warm regards, Faten from Londonfatcat Interiors...See More6m x 6.2m open plan kitchen/living/diner
Comments (8)Hello :) Without looking at all the measurements in the layout as we usually would when designing the layout of a room like this - it is hard to tell exactly what we would recommend as optimal for the space. We also do an in-depth briefing session before each layout package - however, there are a few things I would point out that I hope help... 1) I prefer the utility room as it is in terms of size, flow and access. You could add the access as part of the kitchen if you moved the kitchen to that side of the room. Using a faux door like in this kitchen. I think it works better than having it in the living area. 2) If possible I would try squaring the room up rather than walking into a dark box-like area at the entry. Making the under-stair storage, a cupboard in the hallway instead. That will have a more open feel I believe. 3) Yes, the image for Wren looks cluttered - this is partly due to the "lifestyle" things that don't need to be there but also the incorrect sizing of some of the furniture pieces. However, the flow in general, the access in getting to the dining table, the size of the living area and the outlook of the kitchen are all better in Jonathan's design than on the original. When we work on layouts we begin (the briefing) by working out what you need in the space i.e how large your kitchen needs to be, how many units you need, and what appliances. We then also have a table size (sitting 8/10/12 - extending?), these things are then plotted into the space. Have you tried this? I think especially with the kitchen - that will be key to getting a space that works for you. Does moving it to the position Jonathan mentioned, get you the size you want? Does it have everything you need? - if so, I would consider moving it here for sure. I hope it helps. All the best, Gina...See MoreHannah L
