Comments (10)You need to put all the dimensions on for a real feel for the place. You would also need to instruct and architect and a structural engineer. A concept planner could really help to give you an idea of what's possible and open your eyes as to what changes could be made. I doubt you need to seat 22 on a daily basis, but you may be able to get two dining tables in on occasion. ( We keep another table and a set of chairs outside in a store room for such times ). We have one table that seats 8 all the time, then the other that we bring in which seats 6 more. It's a squeeze, but we manage. Thus I had a little shuffle about and came up with this as a 'concept idea'. Clearly specialists in their field will be able to help a lot more:-...See MoreChange upstairs floor layout- please help
Comments (4)Depending on light/views plumbing etc... but I would want to do something like this. Keep the stairs at the front as it's so much more practical. Knock through and have a large kitchen diner at the back (remove stairs). Have the master with en suite at the back without staircase, then move the bedrooms plus make a bathroom upstairs too. I'd add a small utility and WC somewhere in the kitchen diner space too! Sounds like it's going to be a very tricky but amazing space if you get it right :) Is it a barn conversion? It would definitely be worth working with a good architect or designer/concept planner at an early stage to make sure you do! Good luck...See MoreHelp with ground floor layout please...... playroom, snug or study?
Comments (19)We did love some of the suggestions above… but stuck with our original plan! Although we did change the kitchen layout from U-shaped to ”farmhouse” style, with the table in the middle and sink under the window overlooking the garden. The old dining room has become an office with two desks - partly due to COVID and the need to work from home and homeschool etc! We have also moved a lot of the children’s toy storage in here although they still bring things into the main lounge to play where there’s more room. At 8 and 5, they also actually now keep and play with a lot of toys in their rooms, so I think the old dining room will remain as more of a computer and homework room - it’s nice being able to shut the door! The ”study” on the plan is very much a workshop/gym/play room for my husband! We didnt want to sacrifice that space. It might turn into a teenage den later on perhaps, or even a downstairs bedroom for my Nan. The small upstairs bedroom has become a second office as I’m also still working from home (and my husband has too many meetings downstairs!). It houses our sofa bed too so acts as a spare room and my space to do yoga and sewing. Overall, we are pleased with how everything turned out. We quite like the option to have space away from each other and the flexibility to change the use of the different rooms. We do all spend a lot time together in either the kitchen or main lounge as plenty of space in both....See MoreHelp please with ground floor layout
Comments (23)I’ve had a play with this - please feel free to use any elements you like ! But obviously where I’ve removed /moved walls a SE will need to be involved ! This is just a rough idea … I’ve expanded on your great idea for sight line and created a study nook with window over desk area to give that view out, as you enter the home.. I’ve reduced the bathroom to a shower room with laundry appliance cupboard too … also stolen some space from master bedroom for hall storage - moving the entrance door to that bedroom, and the wall, in the process … I’ve kept the lounge with fire place and added book shelving to reduce noises from lounge to bedroom. I’ve worked with your current kitchen space to put in a USA ff ( but can’t be in the corner as the doors wouldn’t open well - so moved the hob to accommodate it) You mentioned moving a cupboard and existing int FF to get the USA in - if the cupboard is 600mm could you simply buy another int FF and have it next to the original instead ? I added a window seat at the end of the kitchen … you mentioned taking down the top part of the internal wall to dining - so I’ve run with that too. It’s just tweaking what’s there really . But as I say - just some ideas to get you thinking - and to add to the other ideas on this thread. Oh - and I opened up the area below the kitchen to a seating area and added sofas and tv too. Hope you like some bits !! Although I do appreciate its now significantly open plan - and although that suits some - not everyone likes it !...See More- 7 years agoLiving room has double French doors exit to garden and a removed fireplace, but preserved chimney on the north wall
