The spac look like a formal entrance hall but it doesn't really function as such because the entrance doors to both the kitchen and the lounge are both at the corner before you move into the space. How about you cancel those doors and instead open large double French doors in the middle of the hallway leading to the lounge, and a large opening leading to the kitchen. You can then place carefully picked furniture on the sides of those doors and turn the hall into a welcoming space. It will also help with the organisation of the kitchen. the current corner door in an obstacle. Another option is to take down the wall between the hall and lounge and create a much bigger lounge with doors to the kitchen.

Hiya, Ok so I've converted your measurements into mm so these are equivalent to ft, in drawing we use mm. So I think you will need to close off two windows to the east side to get a decent size walk in wardrobe. I've tried to leverage the longest wall in the bedroom without losing too much floor space. I've added your bed with some bedside tables and as you can see you have plenty of space still around you. Keeping the south side patio doors as that will give you light throughout the day. In terms of your walk in wardrobe I played with different sizes and came up with 50-70-50mm dimensions, you could go bigger or smaller as you have plenty of room. Although I would allow 1metre gap between your bed and the wardrobes otherwise it could get a bit crammed. Also think it would be useful and nice to have a little seat to put on shoes etc. you could even add a seat on the opposite side if you wanted. Allowing to entrances to your walk in wardrobe allows light to flow from one side to the other and it doesn't block your patio doors either. I've added lots of dimensions hope this helps!

Thanks Jonathan, I can see how well this design works, however it takes away the garage which we need and we want to try to avoid knocking around the shower room and utility as we want to do as little work (and spend as little of our budget) as possible. We’re trying to see if we can get a decent kitchen/dining are just from the kitchen/living area when it is knocked through.

Watering depends on the plant. A snake plant copes with dry conditions so I would suggest put your finger in the soil, if it is bone dry then water. If there is even the teeniest bit of moisture then leave it a bit longer. Peace Plants tell you when they need watering by drooping it’s leaves. I find that’s a good indicator to water all of your plants. I would say I water mine every 3 weeks or so and they are all doing well. Over watering is one of the most common reasons plants die. Here are some of mine.
