VERY odd shaped kitchen - HELP
Comments (10)Curious shapes always present challenges, but there is plenty of scope in your kitchen at first view. I would certainly echo OnePlan wrt fridge/freezer and hob/oven - as a minimum I'd be looking to have 300mm between these and ideally more. I would strongly recommend removing the existing radiator and either install a tall, thin "feature" rad (possibly to the left of the entrance door) or install under-floor or plinth heating. The "radiator" wall offers plenty of scope for additional workspace, with or without storage above and below. With space limited and the desire for seating, I would look at options for some form of breakfast bar along that wall. The sharp, irregular corners have their own challenges - consider radiusing these in some way or using triangular corner units to "step" the transitions. Consider embracing the quirkiness of your space - irregularly shaped shelving (thicker at one end than another, possibly alternating which end is thicker/thinner) could add some fun to the space and making it a fantastic feature! I'd definitely seek out a pro to help you with this one - give OnePlan a shout for starters or seek out a good, local independent to help you. Have fun!!...See MoreOdd shaped room!
Comments (4)Wow! Thank you Carolina for taking the time to respond and help me. Some people with a similar shaped flat have indeed put the furniture where are you suggesting. Looking at your diagram the door into the living room is slightly wrong. The kitchen goes right the way round back to a flat wall running alongside where you have put the TV. Therefore where you have the furniture this is actually facing the door into the hallway and the little chair in front of the window ( which is a low down window) has a catflap in it and some rather lovely views so I wouldn't want to obscure the window. The chair has been carefully placed for the cat! to observe all the wildlife outside!! I completely agree about a rug this would help to soften the room up and maybe another small armchair. Pulling the sofa away from the wall and put inside table there is also something I have considered and I'm glad you suggested that. I love this Scandi look that John Lewis is promoting in their furniture brochure but I do feel it's a look that is short lived and more traditional furniture will survive fashion trends. I'm extremely touched that you've taken the time to respond and include a diagram! And I will have a play with some of the dimensions in the room As suggested in your diagram. Thank you....See MoreFurniture layout help in odd-shaped rooms. Diagonal walls.
Comments (7)Some great comments so thanks guys. I adore hanging plants so I'll make sure to put a few in the kitchen, especially around the door. I plan on having wall shelves with plants on, too. I think the outdoor mirror seems like a great idea, we can reflect the neighbours plants from their garden (well, hopefully, funny angled wall outside)! We've put a long table in the kitchen so far, with a bench on one side and four chairs on the other (against the wall). This allows the light from the doors to run down the table. Surprisingly the flat is very bright despite fewer windows and the lower floor being lower-ground almost basement. I think I'll keep the bedroom downstairs for now as it's not a room I spend a lot of time in. For me the bedroom is purely a sleeping zone....See MoreAdvice on layout for odd shaped kitchen, lounge, diner
Comments (11)Thanks again Tani, it's actually the dining room that is the conservatory. It was another 10k to go further out, which we just don't have, and like Carolina we actually quite like the shape. Carolina; we had thought about that, but currently the middle room ('snug') is a playroom and we've created a utility space under the stairs opposite the cloakroom. The front room is the grown up lounge and has the TV in it. We were looking to create a space that would work for when we have friends over to sit, eat, cook etc so we weren't separated. Will have a good look at the link you've posted :)...See Morerinked
