Comments (2)Hi Jen P we used to have it like that but I wasn’t keen on the fact it blocked the entryway to an extent and you had to walk around it. (felt uninviting)We found ourself dumping a lot of stuff behind the black sofa so you can see it’s against the wall for now alongside the buggy( however we may move the buggy to the 2nd bedroom). Behind the entryway is a awkward nook with some shelving (with more junk we need to sort out, paperwork,books etc)we are thinking about turning into a small office......See Moreopen plan kitchen dinner living room
Comments (10)Hi Marco, It’s big enough, depending on what you want to include. As a designer and concept planner we begin with a questionnaire which looks at all the details relating to your space. This includes, how many people you need to sit? A look at how big your kitchen needs to be. The style you are going for? And so on. From here we then create several options of layout for your space, allowing you to see what’s truly possible.. and all in a 3D format so you can see how it actually feels to navigate the space. It maybe worth you doing something like this with a concept planner, so you can get your head around how big the space is and what’s possible with in it. My clients find it invaluable. All the best, Gina...See MoreOpen plan living room and diner with stairs - layout help!
Comments (5)I think I’d put the tv under the stairs with a small sofa opposite, you should be able to add a small accent chair opposite the sofa. Round dining table by the patio door and I’d get comfy chairs for extra seating for guests. Use a rug, art, lights etc for zoning the areas. I’ve found this pic with the same layout to what you’ve suggested for removing the kitchen wall. I’d probably block off the kitchen door so you can include tall units on that right hand wall (similar to 2nd pic albeit this is bigger). You may be able to extend the peninsula slightly under the stairs. In any case I think I’d contact a concept planner on here such as OnePlan for your kitchen design! I’d also mark out any furniture with boxes or masking tape before ordering anything, good luck with the move!...See MoreOpen plan kitchen/living room layout advice
Comments (11)What you might find is that if you take this info to a kitchen designer that the layout provided will be completely different to what your architect has (surprisingly) come up with. Personally as a designer, I’d have a completely different take on this room area - but then I Design Kitchens and space concepts for a living - (but ask me to design a building with roof angles and all that that entails etc and I’d be out of my depth a little ! ) So it’s just a case of choosing someone who specialises in this particular area really - we are independent so we don’t sell products that would include a profit - so we charge for our services and work with you over a week to thrash it out - but then you can shop around easily by dropping in a copy of the plans and asking for their best price and haggle for discounts that are often far greater than our design fee. Alternatively you can book loads of studios to each send over their sales people to each come over and measure and each then design a scheme and each then try to win the sale by inviting you to go through their ideas in their studio. Although this is ‘free’ it’s maybe a tad more time consuming, repetitive and you don’t usually have much input.
