Kitchen-Dining L Shape Layout

Hello All,
The attached picture is my ground floor kitchen / dining area. Given the L shape, I am struggling to find the "ideal" layout that fits for a large kitchen, island (even if smaller and a continuation of kitchen furnitures/worktops) and dinner table. I have gone through the interior designer route already and had several 3Ds. However, I am still struggling with the layout, so I thought better asking here. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

7 years agoHello AJ, thank you for your suggestions.
Let me clarify on my remark on IDs and 3D designs. I meant that I am undecided and that is the problem...
I am not sure I understand the small islands suggestion. The current thought is something like the attached - forgive my fat fingers drawing on pdf...
As for the front reception, spot on, it will be open with a french door ;)

Comments (7)Good morning! It looks like a lovely space; where is the kitchen relative to these rooms? Also, is the fireplace in that position, or are you planning to put it in? I ask because it doesn't show on the floor plan, but appears on your 3D plan. Just looking at this it might make sense to switch the table and sofa areas, as the living area then would be larger, however this depends on how the whole house fits together....See MoreL Shaped Kitchen/Lounge/Dining Room.

Comments (3)I look at your pics and am not seeing your kitchen as disproportionately small. I do see that some rethinking of the shower/utility is needed to enable the removal of the entry to the shower room from the living zone. If the utility sink could be relocated, that wall could be an entry point. Using a slider would mean minimizing the space needed for a door, and would still allow for a cupboard there if you wanted. If you are feeling the kitchen needs some adjustment would an island, with access to storage cupboards on both sides, be worth considering? Leaving your major appliances in their current locations....See MoreLayout ideas needed for inverted L-shape living/dining space
Comments (2)Hi Rinked, Thank you for the inspiration! I was thinking of putting the sofa where the tv is but it i think your idea works and flows better. Much appreciated :)...See MoreLayout help - Open plan L-shaped Kitchen , Dinning & family room
Comments (4)We have a near identical space (once we've knocked down a wall!) and having a similar debate, so I'm watching with interest. Key difference for us is we don't have a separate living room so this room will be everything for us. Our current thoughts are dining area immediately below the island with the t.v./ sofa area immediately below that and the 'foot' to the right is an office area, but could also be used as a dining area as during the week we think we'll mainly be eating at the breakfast bar. Good luck!...See More

7 years agoHi - by the time you have placed a dining table - I'm wondering if you would actually have room for an island ? If water can only come from utility end of run - I'd probably suggest a run of DW and sink going along with base storage to either a range or hob area with maybe all the tall cabinets on the short wall opposite ? It would mean slightly smaller doors on the end wall to accommodate the depth of the units both sides - but could work well. The end of the tall run could be finished floor to ceiling as wall to give a continued wall for art work as a backdrop for the table perhaps ?

7 years agoGood afternoon mrgu1! Sounds like what you've got planned is really exciting, I love that clean, open living space and so your floor-plans look great; incidentally the exact kind of thing that we'd LOVE to feature on our brand new ITV property show! Check out the picture below and get in touch if you're interested! All the best, Elliott
