Ideas to best use kitchen diner
Comments (5)Ah that's better looking at that plan. Couldn't see the larder unit or wall units. Love larder units as they hold so much stuff. Sometimes in the corner the Lemans (at least to me) are a waste of money and space. They just seem to take up lots of space in relation to the storage they offer....See MoreKitchen Layout - space requirments for bench & ideas
Comments (0)We had removed an Alno kitchen and dry-fitted another brand in the reception room, the experimental position did not work. The final kitchen is going in the 5.75 mtr extension with an island in front and a bench against the other wall. A separate lounge area will be created, this will be in addition to a new quiet /yoga room in the front room. Some questions / observations if you could help, comment please. Q 1 – what is the ideal width area for wall seat, bench and chairs – we have 2.4mtrs available before we hit the island seating area Q 2 – in this plan, are island seats really required ? The island (3x0.9 mtr) is desirable as a working area, Observation 1 – I am not keen on tall pull and swings and wanted low units against the wall, my wife loves the p/s units, I can see why as the present their contents when you open them, each unit is the same as having 3 base units. Are there any other options other than wall units ? Observation 2 – we are getting rid of the double oven unit in preference to base oven units. Observation 3 – could the slim A-F/F be placed next to bench, it may look silly with new flooring / deco / kitchen. We are okay to lose this F/F in preference of low integrated fridges & freezers - these are shown in the sketch. Observation 4 – The outside utility is almost ready to accept doors but the WM & Dryer will now be kept inside with a decent unit built around them. We may put doors to outside utility next year. Observation 5 – the extractor is new but we are ditching it in preference of a slim line hood Some pictures before we start on the new kitchen fitting......See MoreHelp! Layout options for side and front extension, best use of space!
Comments (0)We are in the process of extending (a joint project with our neighbours to gain an extension to the front box room, then along the ground floor across the front and down the side of the house). We're having some last-minute layout dilemmas, the floor space isn't the biggest, but we will gain some essentials from it (bigger kitchen, downstairs shower/toilet, office space, porch and the bigger box room upstairs). Our shower room is going to be fairly slim (worked out as 900x2900mm at the minute). This also creates a slim corridor space beside that leading to an office which I've bumped along a bit to give some more space (sacrificing utility space at the other end, when you compare my Ikea layout with original drawings). The other option is to access the office from the lounge, meaning we could lose the corridor altogether and widen the shower room, but that would make the office open to noise from the lounge and I think it's a weird place to add a door. We're also struggling with options for the laundry/utility space too and whether to just include it as an extension to the kitchen. I've added some screenshots and links to an Ikea planner I used to map the ground floor out completely (ignore the colour and the basic mapping of furniture etc. it also doesn't include the pitched roof and Velux windows). Any input would be appreciated, I'm just looking for layout ideas and tips for anyone that has similar sizing/spacing set-ups. Thanks.

Comments (7)Hi Jason W, congraultions on your new home, how exciting! Focusing on the layout first is a great place to start, we do this with our customers design schemes. It would be great to see photos of the room but from the floorplan you have attached, would you consider possibly built in storage in the alcoves? This could also include shelving for books and decorative items etc. Having a fireplace in the room always helps to create a focal point, again it would be great to see photos, to help advise. We are an online interior design company and would love to support you to achieve a living room you love! It would be great to have a chat with you to discuss how we can help you and learn more about your project, feel free to drop us a message or an email to hello@thelivinghouse.co.uk You can also find out more about us on our website here - https://www.thelivinghouse.co.uk/ - Sophie 😊...See MoreCarolina

view from the back of kitchen/diner - thanks all - sink under window along with dishwasher. doors at the back are to the hallway and to a small utility room for washing machine etc.

7 years agoDaisy - are you referring to the wall with the doors? sorry i cant see that the longer line states the shorter length? there will be an alcove in the room due to the stairs being moved. this is the overall layout..

7 years agoHi - quick question for you .. what's the black box in the middle ? Is it a support column ?! If so that's a game changer and needs to be considered !!!
I agree the kitchen island needs to be turned 90degrees and maybe have some pantry storage on left by stairs - but keep all main cooking, storage and prep on right side - out of the main walkway through to lounge .

7 years agoIf you were to put the utility door in the hall which might be more practical for washing, you could do something like this? Rather than the island have the peninsula as shown in your whole ground floor layout. Personally speaking I'd also go for an integrated FF as it's a much cleaner and streamlined look and I think fewer appliances on show in a living space the better. I'd have a banquette seat for the dining table so you can have it against the wall. An L shaped might work well. I'd try the sofas opposite each other to create a bit more space although that may not work depending on how many people in your family watching tv! I think you'd need to bring in the one opposite the tv a little to be able to see the tv anyway unless it's a massive tv! Although if the dining table is pushed back into that corner as suggested it does leave room for a corner sofa with perhaps a low back chair opposite it in front of the tv.
