Kitchen-Dining L Shape Layout
10 years ago
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!

10 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 ;)

Dining table for L-shaped living room
Comments (6)Hi rinq, Thank you so much for your time and suggestions. We do actually need a 6-8 seater and that's one of the reasons we are getting a new table and were thinking to get something that would add some warmth and cosyness to the living room. Do you think perhaps a rug under the Mango table would solve the orange shade that might clash with the flooring? Also I do like the second table. However, our preference is more towards warmer more earthy Colors. Are there any other Color chairs that you would suggest? Thanks again Meli Thanks...See MoreLayout for L-shaped living room
Comments (2)Hey Hannah, You've smashed this layout. Everything is sitting in the right areas, but we do have some suggestions as to how a few pieces are placed. 1. the sofa - we think you should flip it so that the longer end is facing the wall. You can then pop the accent chair, lamp & maybe a side table against the wall with a piece of art hanging right behind them. This way you make use of the light coming through the window, cover the radiator but also create an intimate corner for reading or chilling in general on the other end. 2. the L-shaped desk should be against that wall. Moving in & out of that space - especially of 2 people are using it at once - will be a slight nuisance. The backs of your monitor & laptop screens will also be on show throughout (potentially even when you're dining) with cables dangling from the ends. We think that by positioning yourselves facing the wall, you can enjoy a piece of hung artwork or shelving with your favourite bits & bobs but also you'll be hiding a plethora of techy bits which become an eyesore in a well designed multi-faceted space. 3. lastly, you seem to want a dining table with both chairs & a bench for seating. We think your dining chairs should be against the wall (for added visual height) while the bench sits opposite them. You can then zone the space with rugs as you have that fit the space perfectly. All in all, we love what you've done with the layout & hope our suggestions help you finish it up nicely!...See MoreL Shaped Kitchen/Lounge/Dining Room. Tiny Kitchen- what would you do?
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 MoreL - shaped room - layout advise
Comments (9)It’s hard to tell from the photos but can’t you just pull the sofa a few feet forward without blocking the door? If it does block the door the footstool looks as if it would work both sides or as a footstool? i would just have one chair to the right of the tv angled towards the sofa for conversation One large rug that the front feet of all the seating sits on may work better...See More

PRO10 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 ?

Good 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
