ive seen several kitchen designers and no one can come up with an idea that I 100% love.

attached is a photo of my floor plan and current kitchen.

the wall better the dinning room & kitchen is coming out.

i ideally want a peninsula seperating the to areas & I need space for a dinning table.

the most recent idea is from b and q and that is to reduce base unit depth on left hand side to 300mm and then that allows for a 900mm peninsula with a hob on it. Cupboards on both sides of peninsula. (We currently have 300 base units on one side of the kitchen)

Attached is a copy of the design plan.

not sure if it looks out of preportion due to 300 base units on one side then 900 depth units on the other.

feedback and ideas would be very much appreciated.

TIA

Hi Tia

We would love to have a go at the designs for you. Is there anyway you could email the measurements as the figures are a little hard to see and we can do you a 3D design.

Regards

Do you need both doorways in kitchen? In our old house we blocked off one door to hallway and gained much more useable space.

Laura There lots of functions/ amenities on the plan which is great. Before making a proposal we would think about each part individually and ask how it needs to work for you, the way you want to live and how the spaces can benefit your experience. We note that you have already highlighted your desire to see outside from the island. Other questions might be- Do you watch TV? If so, do you see the Sun Room as a TV area or the Open Plan area? Would the seating area in the Open Plan benefit from full height views of the Garden? Would you eat at the Island? If so, would you like to see outside when eating? There is often a lot of questions but, this helps assess and balance the needs for all areas which would then help inform the ideal layout.

Sorry I had trouble with the app, had to delete and re-install! I am really grateful for your suggestions and a lot to think about. The box st the top right hand corner of the last picture is the garage, and that’s what we are joining to the house. We can’t extend longer or wider, as it has been extended before, and the house is only about 7m wide if that. The hallway would probably about 1.5 to 2m wide if that. We have a footpath about 1m to the south facing aspect, from where the left hand side of the house is hence why we would rather not do much to that side, due to space, as you would be stepping directly onto the footpath bar a thin hedge, more’s the pity. And we are slap bang in the middle of fields with hedges surrounding us so makes planning a little difficult. Does that make sense at all? Really appreciate all your input!

By the way we also originally had all the seating in a line like that, but I realised that a) the seats all faced away from the view (our big sliders will be behind that side of the island), and b) everyone sitting in a row like that is not at all convivial. It just looks good in photos. So we've changed the island layout so that the seats are at one of the short ends and along some of the long side, so when people are sitting there, they are in an L shape which is much nicer for conversation. And we've put some cupboards under the rest of that side of the island which has added a bit more storage. It won't be as photogenic and I struggled to give up the original design because I loved the symmetry of it, but I am glad I was flexible on it in the end, as I think it will be nicer kitchen to spend time in IRL as opposed to looking good in a photo!

Hi I was wondering whether I can have some advice on our kitchen layout. We planned to get our sunroom converted to an extension. Unfo Unfortunatel, we got let down by the contractors we hired who turned out to be professional scammers! Lots of tears and 6 months later, we are ready to get our kitchen done again but leaving the sunroom as is for now. How would you maximise the space? bearing in mind we are ok with the dining table being in the sunroom f. looking forward to all your suggestions! thank you these are suggestions we have received from a builder (just keeping all the units in the ”kitchen” space) : would love a kitchen island, if not a breakfast bar and plenty cupboard space. thanks in advance

I was in the same position as you & after hours of pulling my hair out & disappointment, eventually contacted One Plan, a pro on here with really good reviews, gave her my budget of maximum hours ( worked out the equivalent £ of a base unit) and she she came up with a fantastic plan that looks & works great & a full specification of positions & a shopping list too.

I ordered the kitchen from DIY kitchens & got a carpenter to fit it. I can't recommend her enough - hopefully this weekend I will get around to posting my before & after!! Good luck
