Lounge/Dining area layout

So we have lived in this house for 3 months and have hit a wall with the layout of the lounge and where to place the tv and sofas.
So we currently have a mirror above the fireplace and a tv unit on the left of the fireplace and a dining table and chairs in the dining area as you turn left.
My my question is where would you put sofas? As every wall is either the enterance, the patio doors or the walk way to the dining area.

Comments (10)Hello, Mark! I'm Gabriela, a designer from Akiva Projects. First of all, you really have great ideas for your lounge/dining room! I don't see why not leave the fireplace where it is now and still do what you want - a false chimney breast built with an electric fire and TV built into it. By doing that you would have an advantage on your side: you will have the possibility of building a storage in the same wall of the fireplace using the thickness of the pillars that you have - a great way of blending them on the room! I really think that this could add value to your lifestyle. We offer a fantastic design service and would be happy to offer our advice.

Comments (21)I think there are a few things that hinder the layout. The double doors from the lounge to the extension will make putting a sofa anywhere difficult, so i'd ditch those. They affect the furniture layout in the main lounge too, and are unnecessary. I think the span of doors and windows across the back are in the wrong place and too large. If you're having double doors in the hall, then directly opposite, should be another set for flow and light. It's crucial that you have enough wall space when going open plan, to put furniture. You need to consider furniture placement as essential when planning the area in the first instance, and a lot of people come a cropper when they do this. They design an area without any thought to where they're going to put sofas and T.V's then realise that there's not enough space or wall left to put them on. Where you put all of these directly affects placement of the dining table too. The Utility area is under utilised for space. Is there a provision for a downstairs toilet? A larger area can be used. You could go for a layout like this :- However, in my opinion, the kitchen is now too large for the space, and, the dining area is too small. So, I would change to this kind of layout, which gives you more equal proportions for everything. Plus, it looks nice and spacious. There is a properly assigned dining area with room for a sideboard and mirror over. The Utility / Coat room has access both from the Hallway and kitchen. The lounge area has plenty of room for a corner sofa and T.V area. All the windows and doors are central without compromising furniture placement. The only thing still missing is the downstairs loo, so hopefully there has been some provision for this elsewhere, or the Utility area will need amending further....See MoreIdeas for layout of open plan kitchen/dining/family area?
Comments (17)I made two different layouts of your house. Hope it may inspire. Left: First floor similar to yours, but some tweaks on the wardrobe and ensuite area, to make better use of the space (in my opinion). Ensuite is 170cm wide, so either walk-in shower or bath tub would fit. Hinged or pocket door, I'm not set on a type. Created a landing cupboard for towels and such. Utility could be a bit wider, as 160cm is tight. Hallway has a shelf or shallow shoe cabinet next to the front door, more place to stand and welcome people. Coats with bench can go a bit further in. Lounge rotated as interior psychology makes us feel more at ease when we can see who's coming in. Kitchen in C shape, nice looking hutch opposite, tall units in the middle of the room, bench with storage (under and above) top right with table. And an extra sofa. Right: First floor completely different. Extension has two smaller bedrooms and new bathroom. Two bedrooms on the right turned into master suite, bathroom wall moved over to the right. Again added a landing cupboard. Kitchen diner with an island looking into the room (though the whole thing could be rotated ccw if you don't want the sink to go under the window), round table with very comfy chairs, so a sofa is not required. Plenty space on the sides for storage and play. (to return a favour paypal.me/rinkedit)...See MoreIdeas for layout of open plan kitchen/dining/family area with utility?
Comments (11)Yeah, sorry my drawing isn't accurate, just my best attempt using some free software. The measurements on the rightmove advert say; Kitchen/Breakfast Room - 6.17 x 4.20 (20'2" x 13'9") Dining room - 6.28 x 3.62 (20'7" x 11'10") - not sure how this is slightly longer than the kitchen/breakfast room to be honest! There's a wall inbetween the two rooms which I'm looking to knock through. The 4.2m includes the utility space so i've estimated it at about 6m once the wall is gone and excluding that area. Does that make sense?...See More
