please help with layout in the reception room off of the kitchen. we need a kitchen table there and need this to be the main area where we eat because there is no room to sit in the kitchen.
the room also would ideally functiin as a main dining room as we have made the dining room into a playroom.
issue is that entrance to that reception cuts the room in 2 and placing a rectangular table to the right hand side is difficult due to not enough room for seating. not sure how / where to place other furniture. currently have a round dining table to the. left but lots of empty space!

Comments (3)I would have the table against the wall (opposite window) with either a bench of built in seating, this way you could have space for a chair / sofa on the opposite aide. If you used a bench, you could then put the table centrally for occasions (xmas etc). I think a central feature light would still work with wall lights to table area....See MoreI want an island for extra worktop & stools. Where can i put it?

Comments (7)Thanks both, really appreciate your suggestions/designs. Katlucy - we’ve decided to not use the sliders as it will be a bit tight walking round the back as the extension will be really close to the boundary with our neighbour. But we were originally going to do that, so great minds! Love your drawing, thanks so much for taking the time to do it! So do you think there would be enough room for an island? Love the raised shelf idea! Also really like where you’ve put the coats and the table - we hadn’t considered it this was round for some reason, kept putting the table to the left! I also forgot to say that we have removed the chimney now so there is free rein on where the oven goes! CWD - that’s a really good point, love that idea! The only negative thing I can think of off the top of my head, is that there would be less light let in through the door as the alley is really dark. Much prefer the idea of being closer to the drop zone as not massively keen on having coats hanging openly where food is cooked, can imagine any cooking smells will cling to the coats but not sure if I’m being a bit OTT and that’s even a thing to worry about!...See Morewinterfloods

8 years agoThis is a very quick scaled drawing, been doing this for 28 years as a show home designer. You have very few options with this room. This is how I would do it. There is so much wasted space created by simply bad architecture

I had drawn the green box as a tv ...
Radiators can go behind the sofas, if you stand the sofas forward a little like I drew them .
You don't need to over fill the rooms !
