Sorry- I don’t like your plan. In my opinion the space between the sink and hob is where the work happens so you are actually a bit tight for space. I think the door from the kitchen to the playroom is a massive fail- firstly you are inviting the kids to run past the cooking area, secondly is splits the kitchen and there are safety implication for having a walkway through the kitchen, I also think it makes your kitchen plan feel disjointed. I also think that if the children are young they won’t want to be in the playroom, they will want to be where you are. If you are worried about the playroom being dark this is easily sorted with better lighting and a pale coloured floor. Alternatively make this the grown up room and the kids playroom near the front door. I also think that putting the sitting area around the corner in the extension makes it feel enclosed and a little tight because of its location. I think you have put too many stools at the island and in reality people rarely use more than 3. In my opinion better to have fewer comfortable seats that are spread out with room to eat. I also think you missed an opportunity to have a cupboard near the front door to hide coats, shoes and a vacuum cleaner. I think that if you want an extra shower it may be easier to put this off the bootroom- a bigger utility/ bootroom area may help later to keep sports equipment/ dogs/ ironing etc etc out of sight. There is a privacy argument to put it where you have but I suspect the wall you have moved to take a corner off the kitchen is a job that will require a steel.

I guess the drawing is not to scale but on your drawing it looks like there is a very narrow gap between bed and wardrobe - if it’s going to be that narrow in real life I would reconsider the layout (perhaps wardrobes on the current bedhead wall and bed facing the windows). As regards colours, navy grey and silver is a nice combination but very cool toned. Which way does the room face? If it’s not south you might want to add some warmth - eg wood and/or pink accents would add warmth and fit with the other colours. Lots of nice modern wood bedside tables and chests around at the moment.

Many thanks Owl for the feedback. I understand what you are saying regarding constraints and the loft stair is something that was proposed by our architect and that we explored in detail. However, it is not something relevant for our family situation with our children and their specific needs; and in addition, it was making the rooms at the end of the corridor (on the left side) either too big (if merged into 1) or (if keep as 2 bedrooms as they are) too small. The middle bedroom was becoming very small and the 2 rooms above where not that much bigger due to the shape of the roof. Our architect did draw plan for this option but after review, it was not the right thing for us. I am keen to know, with our current constraints, you or any one else has some comments :) it would be really appreciate. Many thanks

I agree with the others. A larger samsung frame tv on the wall but have the cable chased in the wall and store the “boxes” in the wood cupboard. I’d add a small accent chair “under” the tv, something on legs like the mid century modern ones with wood frames. i would just have a normal sofa but agree pull away from the wall. I just looked at your other post. it’s a really stunning apartment but i think shelves may close the kitchen in. Use that alcove in the living area (where they have the floor lamp) for a bespoke bookcase for your books.
