Help with open concept floorplan living room layout/design with huge fireplace
11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago
I have this home with one room (kitchen/living/dining) that has very tall ceilings, the fireplace is 4'x5' and is about 4' deep. It currently has the TV on top, I want to move the TV -it's to high up and hurts your neck. I want all new furniture and I don't know what to do with this fireplace, what arrangement of furniture to buy (two sofas/sectional etc). All the furniture in Ok the pics are sideways. Let me see if I can get them rotated.

Comments (4)I've had a play with this over my lunch break ... I've tried to keep the living area in the middle with the sleeping areas to the left and right - and added a generous family bathroom ... It means the study becomes part of the TV room ... Which might not suit ?! It's another possibility perhaps ?! [ marketing note - this is an example of the sketch consult service OnePlan provide... We happily provided this for free to this Houzzer, on this occasion . Normal rates would be £35 p/h. Full CAD images available too, at either an hourly rate or fixed room rate. We are freelance concept planners, selling only design !]...See MoreNew floorplan/layout advice and help please
Comments (14)Hi Lisamarie. Do you have the measurements? It may hopefully encourage people to help rather than guesstimating based on the doors and kitchen cabinets. How will the internal corridor work in the garage? Will there just be a door knocked through from the drive? Is extending the flat roof extension an option although you may need to do something with the pitch of the roof? Have you had a quote for moving the boiler and electrics? How much storage do you need left in the garage? Can the stairs be moved?...See MoreFloorplan/layout help - kitchen/dinner/familiy room
Comments (4)Hi Thank you all for your help/advice. Jonathan - thanks for drawing us a plan option. Ideally we would have an L shape kitchen/diner/lounge but we would like the utility at the back of the house and keep a separate toilet - (I always call it the downstairs loo but we have no stairs!!) basically so people don't have to use our main bathroom. So don't think we can do it. We like your ideas for the master bedroom storage and bathroom and layout and see you've moved the study door which is great. The elevation drawings I posted were when we were planning a rear extension the bedroom end - we moved this to the front and feel it works better. This means we'll have a gable roof over this extension and are thinking of having a brick porch with a gable room to balance it out. We think a pitch roof for the kitchen/garage with a flat roof at the rear maybe the best option now and less dominating. Thanks I-architect. We'll check out your checklist. We have been trying to pace out the space. My other half really wants a TV comfy sofa area for him and the kids, I'm less bothered. We think we'll spend most of our time in this room as a family and with friends whereas our lounge is our sanctuary. We agree with you all that it may be best to enlist the help of a pro kitchen designer, space planner that can give us a few options. We naively didn't realise concept planners/designer existed and have gone around the houses a lot already. All a leaning curve. We really can't wait to get it done - we've been living in the bungalow as it is for 5 years and although perfectly liveable - its in desperate need of updating....See Moresmall apartment layout help - dimensions & floor plan included!
Comments (8)I would get a smallish drop-leaf table with two comfortable dining chairs for you and your roommate's eating area. I suggest no barstools - they take up too much real estate. Guests. Ask them to bring a cushion or a folding chair because you don't have enough chairs. I lived in a very tiny place and my guests were happy enough to sit on the floor - 90 minute party, max. Serve VERY good food. Separate the living and dining areas by color/style and/or an area rug for the living room that will compliment your furniture. Decorators siggest that the front legs of living room furniture be placed on the rug if the rug is too small to fit under all of the furniture. If you get a sisal rug, be sure to use a rug pad. Sisal can be like sandpaper on the wood finish of your floors. I would NOT put a rug in the kitchen. Use washable foot fatigue rubber mats instead. Best wishes....See More- PRO11 years ago
