Looking to have similar layout for our new kitchen.

8 years ago

Could you give me a rough idea of the footprint of the kitchen area; the run of cabinets and island? I am hoping to have something similar but am not sure I will have enough space for the island. Would much appreciate it.
ps. the marble worktop -dazzling if brave choice. Looks amazing!

Sure. The island was 1.2 m x 2.8 m. The main run was 5.25m long. We'd recommend allowing at least a metre around each side of the island.

The marble looks incredible and is a popular choice these days. Although it does chip and stain easily so yes, a brave choice. You could try and composite version which will be more durable...

I like Option 2 honestly. Obviously you are finding it hard to visalize what the space will look like but honestly that is a huge space so I would recommend putting in the utility considering what you gain from it. You gain a space where you can block out the sound of the washing machine- who wants that sound when your eating dinner? Also washing is unsightly- do you wants piles of clothes in your nice brand spanking new kitchen? In terms of the corridor you are going to have lots of light coming through from the new extension. When you enter the front door and can see straight through to the garden spaces feel much bigger than they actually are anyway. Also who says it has to be boring. Have some fun wallpaper or colourful art hanging. Also if you want to make something more spacious use sliding doors for utility and wc. Less items infringing on corridor space. And lastly, the reception is purely personal preference based upon how your family function. Personally I prefer two rooms. Allows for more space to get away from the open plan area. Mini adults room and a kids room/study. Hope this helps

Hello Lucy, Yes I think Minnie's idea of office in the end small space of the living room is a gr8 idea.. It makes use of what is otherwise an awkward space.. Any way to take out the two walls 1 between living and dining, so you have a completely open plan area? And 2nd between kitchen and dining? May lose 2m on that bit of wall but it's long enough for a galley kitchen on the far wall. This would make for a nice flow between rooms. The door going into the study could (if a divider was put in).. walk in to a tiny loo/cloakroom.. with window.. If just over a meter wide could be achievable.. Back to wall loo and shower if wet room style.. Then put another door in at other end for the pantry/utility.. Would be big enough for a walk in pantry/storage. Or you have the door opening from kitchen side.. Think this could still be achievable as you still have two sides for kitchen.. Do like the two french doors in both kitchen and living room gr8 for entertaining.. Going to be fantastic! : ))

Wow - these are some excellent ideas! Going to explore them in more detail for sure. My sketch is really not very accurate - the width of the room from the chimney stack to the 'pantry' side is 320cm. So I guess there is room for the large island, but now I'm rethinking the whole thing! We have put in the permitted development request to the council, so the space won't change. These suggestions will really help us finalise the layout. 1 other question. The ceiling height in the current dining space is 280cm, it then drops with a step to where the current kitchen is to 260cm. We're thinking of removing the step and making the who new extension space a floating floor to allow the existing house to breath. This will make the extension space ceiling height 245cm. Do you think this is too low or will look strange? Or should we keep the step down for the benefit of a higher ceiling in the extension section - but sacrifice the floor being able to 'breath'.

@kazzh Adding a wall as suggested by HU won't allow for the intention of an open plan with the living room as and adding a wall by the current opening will remove a lot of afternoon light from the living room. Adding the laundry to the pantry is certainly possible, it's an idea that has been considered, but we didn't know a) how possible it was to create a new waste pipe and where to run to, possibly the bathroom next door. b) how to position the pantry area to consider a reduced length of waste pipe to avoid a mass of disruption of other units ie cutting holes in them. Moving the patio door isn't impossible, as we can just brick up the current and add a window, then add a patio door to the extension. Thank you so much so far!
