Open plan layout

7 years ago

Hello all, we have just had our plans approved and now need to finalise the best layout, so we know where the plumbing, electric, lighting ect will need to go! I am happy with the location of each area in the room as it will keep costs down having the kitchen at the rear and need the utility at the back as we have a dog!
Do you have suggestions to improve the layout?
Is the Island width ok or should it be wider as the room is large?
Love the hidden bar and Study area but what kind of doors would I need?
How would you arrange the living area furniture, will be getting new so we can work the size into the plan.
Finally what doors would be best to enter the room from the hallway?

Thank you so much in advance for your help, been planning for so long and now the time is running out!

1930’s semi - best open plan layout for kitchen/diner or all open?
Q

I’m struggling to find a way to have a kitchen/island (really would like an island to have useable counterspace), generous dining table (seating for at least 6 people) and a sitting area in the same room if we don’t open up the wall between the current front and back living rooms. Would it make more sense to have part of the garage incorporated into the kitchen? There is a slight difference in floor level though between the garage and kitchen (Step down into the garage). Or block up the current kitchen door and have the access to a dining/kitchen through the current back living room space and then somehow fit in a dining table and seating area?

I think if you drawer in a full sized dining table, sofas, a bigger kitchen than you currently have and room to circulate you will realise the space is too tight for your ambition. You can use some space saving ideas such as having dining bench seating against a wall which slightly reduces the space needed to circulate and you could make your kitchen cabinets and worktops deeper to give you more storage and therefore have a shorter run against the wall…… but I think if budget will allow you should consider building bigger or alternatively consider making the bedrooms smaller and move the bathroom between the bedrooms to free up more space for the principal room.

Open plan layout help for an unusual shape room

Due to the original structure and supporting walls/columns that need to be retained, our new open plan space (for a kitchen/dining/living room) is an unusual shape. I’m struggling to decide on layout options and wondered if anyone had any ideas or advice!? I’ve attached some architect sketches of the space and also a layout plan I had a go at making. We would quite like to anchor the kitchen island on the structural pier in the middle of the room if possible. We would also like plenty of space for our young children to play in the living area. The dashed rectangles are where the roof lanterns are in the new extension. Thank you in advance.
