As it is such a small room, the layout is highly unlikely to change unless it is feasable to make it into a galley kitchen if is in fact more storage that you require. Small changes though you can put in a small breakfast bar in the free corner.

The thing that will make the biggest difference though will be changing the door. Hang it on the other side so that you don't feel like you have to have it closed to work in your kitchen and get to your fridge. Depending what room and furniture you have in the other room it will be even better to have the door opening going the opposite way into the next room. You will gain a lot of space from this, more free movement when cooking and it will also make the space feel a LOT bigger as your visual isnt blocked.

Hope this helps.

Oh I love a challenge!!
The smallest kitchens take the most thinking when planning !!
Get a pro in to design it to suit how you want to live with it - it's worth paying for great design in a room like this !!!

Hi Mr Singe, That is quite a lack of natural light. There are lots of questions with this project like - what is above the property? Are the walls structural? what is your budget? There are plenty of options but as OnePlan rightly said, there are also lots of issues and safety factors to consider, especially if your intention is to let or sell the property once completed. Our advice too would be to seek professional advice from a qualified interior designer or architect. Mirrors, artificial light, shiny surfaces and light tunnels would all be great things to consider.

Truly beautiful work but I feel that the two large pendants over the table where not necessary. Too many pendants now and the ceiling is not high enough for them. It would have been different with smaller shades possibly. An alternative would have been to use the pendant you have over the island over the table and used something like this over the island instead. This is the Long John brass spotlights fixture available on @hollowaysofludlow and you can find it in a variety of lengths from 1m to 2.6m depending on the length of your island. It would match the brassware on the cabinetry too.

Hello Sarah, There is a possibility that you have combined sewage in that location. I can see a drainage pipe from the roof on the front of the house. Have a look down the street and see if there are any other houses with bathrooms or drainage on the front or contact your local Building Control who will confirm. I have no idea how important the number of bedrooms are for your needs but you could forfeit the third bedroom. Alternatively have a smaller kitchen area. as the second plan and take a small chunk out of the bedroom, probably less is needed than I have indicated. If your budget allows then remove the chimney, but it is not necessary. I would take out the walls around the stair to below as that will make the space much broader. and also give the space a funky feel to it. Add some velux windows with shafts down into the kitchen dining space. I am not sure why there is no window onto the garden, perhaps look into that on your deeds and see if it could be allowed. The kitchen may be better located towards the front of the house on the first plan so that any seated area is not adjacent to a circulation route/ corridor space. Set the roof windows in a neat pattern of 2 or 3 over that space as it will help to tie it together as one. I am not sure how often you would use the front small bedroom but it could be opened out as part of the living room now and when you eventually sell, put back as a bedroom.. Hope that helps Roger

I think I need to either swap the cluster for downlighting pendants or for 3 across the front of the island. The ambient pendants look stunning from afar but actually sitting at the island isn't great. Secondly, I think we will need to add shelves with downlighting either side of the sink (or just one side) as purely relying on ceiling spots isn't very cosy at night.
