Extending: where to put kitchen
Comments (11)I'd put the kitchen in B, living in A and the dining area in C. That way you'll have a view on the garden from the kitchen and the living area. And the kitchen is near the utility, back door and door into the hall, handy when you come home with the shopping. It's also not in direct view from the door into the area. Unless you, like we do, use the dining area not only for dinner, but also for coffee with friends, reading the newspaper... then I'd put the dining table near the garden. In fact, I'd put a TV outlet in both spaces so you can switch dining and living around if you feel like a change....See MoreDrilling into tiles/putting up shelves fiasco
Comments (10)Hey Jules, In case you do want to go for it yourself. I would just get some proper diamond bits for porcelain tiles. Something like this - https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-diamond-tile-drill-bit-6-x-67mm/51908?tc=NA8&ds_kid=92700055262507123&ds_rl=1244066&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgtaHnYOD7QIVQeztCh18fQSuEAQYBSABEgKlp_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds A regular impact driver drill should work. I must warn you though, it’s a slow process drilling each hole and you need to make sure the bit stays cool (have a spray bottle handy or lubricant oil). Good luck!...See MorePutting internal bi-folds to separate open plan kitchen/diner/lounge ?
Comments (6)sometimes its good to take a breath and really think about how you live - rather than all focus being on the plans, which can seem immovable. For example, I have a largely open plan ground floor but on the advice of my sister whose kids were older at the time, I kept a small snug living room that is separate and as my kids have grown up through teenage years that has been a saving grace - we can all go to separate places,! I dont have to listen to video games whilst cooking etc :) Does one person often watch tv and the other like to read? Where do hobbies take place? Would it be a simple solution to just turn that dining table round to make more space for those doors? If you like to entertain would you like to hide the mess inthe kitchen to be cleared up later? I for example insisted that I could close my kitchen off from the front room and hall (and stairwell) because one of my pet hates is cooking smells lingering everywhere! Also consider if the doors could be retro fitted - and l ive in the space for 9 months first to see if you really need/want them?...See Morewhere to put a pillar support in kitchen?
Comments (11)Hi, whilst I agree that another opinion and hopefully no pillar would be the best solution, you asked for ideas so here are two. In one of them what I’ve done is just cut and paste your existing kitchen plan to show you that the island could be lined up underneath the existing rear wall where a pillar would be needed. However this would affect the windows/doors arrangement at the rear wall. If you do need a pillar in the space then the rear wall plan would probably be better revisited to address the new flow/traffic lines through the space....See MoreElisabeth Henderson
