Floor plan help
8 years ago
We have planning permission approved for a two storey extension to the rear of our semi. We really need help with the downstairs layout.
We are extending the kitchen to have a open plan kitchen/diner/living space with bifolds onto the garden. We also wanted a utility room and downstairs WC which originally were also going into the extension but if we do this there isn’t enough room for a kitchen dining table and sofa area so we are now thinking to take the space from the original living area.
The plans below show the original idea which we have now decided against, any other ideas on how the space could best be used would much appreciated.
Once extended the new kitchen space is approx 10 metres by 4.4 metres.
TIA

Comments (5)Which are the existing and new walls? Before considering I’d ask what really is the purpose and function of the study/bedroom as the access to it is all the way through either the utility or hallway then kitchen. Utility room could always double as a pantry and utility depending on design but even then you are having to cross a corridor to access...See Morefloor plan help

Comments (2)Agree with Jonathan. Peninsula's always split the space in half. I think his layout is a much better use of space I think an L shaped sofa, unless the chaise/ottoman end is compact is quite a large piece for the available space. A two seater sofa and a chair would be more flexible. You could also simulate the L with two sofas with a side table between them. Think about how you live, what suits your lifestyle? If you had a rectangular table it could double up for kitchen prep running parallel to the hob....See MoreFloor plan help - should we do a small extension Victorian Detached
Comments (9)Install bench seating along one of the long walls? I would also think about making that exterior door into a window only, so that the bench seating could be on that side of the room (where it's set back a little bit from the opening from kitchen). Sacrifice that side door and use the one into utility instead. Making those windows larger - or into full patio doors - would also make the space feel bigger even though it wouldn't be. If that doesn't work for you, then yes do a small extension, it'll make a huge difference. I agree that adding lots of space doesn't make sense - you just make the existing rooms darker....See More- 8 years ago
