You are in the enviable position of having the whole space designed to suit you and your lifestyle ! And the bonus is the windows and doors can be put where needed ! Every designers dream project !! If you want to ‘do this yourself’, feel free to look at some of our uploaded past projects to maybe give you some ideas - alternatively why not consider booking yourself in for a design consultation - either with someone like us - who DON’T sell anything other than design, but that means you can shop around and compare like for like with the plan that was designed specifically for you - or book with someone who will design for free - but make money on what ever they sell you. Although they don’t usually let you keep the design - so less easy to compare like for like with other shops. Either way -it’s an opportunity to get something amazing that will work for you !! Enjoy it !

I would be inclined to have more of a U-shaped kitchen (or n-shaped looking at it this way up), with the cabinets starting to the right of that small window and continuing round the top wall to a peninsula between kitchen and dining area. You could do that and still have the sofa where it is in the first option. The fridge placement depends on where everything else is. The plans don't show where the sink, range, ovens, dishwasher, etc. are. Conventionally, the sink is in front of the window, though there's no law saying you have to have it there. You probably want the dishwasher next to the sink. If that were the case in option 1, your refrigerator is at the opposite end of the room from the sink. Depending what sort of cooking you do that might mean a lot of trips back and forth to get produce, wash it before prepping and cooking. On the other hand, you don't want the fridge too far into the kitchen as it is the one appliance that other people need easy access to for getting drinks and snacks. A piece of advice I was given was to plot our cooking on a plan. That might mean a line from fridge to sink to get cabbage to wash, another line to food processor to chop it, then to the range to cook it, to oven to turn it on, to pantry to get potatoes, etc. etc. Then you get to see how efficient the layout is. Or it might just be from freezer to microwave to dining table. A lot will depend on lifestyle. For me, both options seem quite elongated. Definitely, I suggest you start to think about where everything is going to go before making a call on the fridge. I would also think in terms of what you want/need. If you want a sofa there, then you can work that in. I would not put a dresser or hooks there unless that's what you need. Otherwise you'll just end up looking for stuff to put in the dresser or hanging stuff on hooks that really should be put away someplace else. You have a good sized place to plan around, so you should be able to ends up with something that suits you and looks good. In terms of saving money, we have friends who bought a second hand kitchen on eBay. Someone was renovating their kitchen and sold all their units online. It worked for them because they didn't have any awkward spaces to plan around. The end result was fantastic, though it did involve hiring a van and driving across London to collect it. Lastly, you need to recharge your phone battery.

Hello Sabina, Maybe the conservatory could be converted into a utility shower and the kitchen could be placed next to the stairwell. Of course, this depends on whether the plumbing can be relocated.

Before you set your heart on a wall hung vanity and toilet take a look at the frame required for the toilet as it is a considerable additional cost. The stud wall will also probably also need to be strengthened to take the weight of the wall hung vanity. I think I would consult a bathroom designer as there are so many factors to consider here. I would also start interviewing plumbers as some of them are very old school and might not have the relevant experience for what you are planning. A bathroom designer would have tradespeople to recommend. Think about lighting and flooring in addition to the layout. I am assuming the door is bottom left?
