I apologize for the delay. We custom. made this bench out of teak. There are small stainless steel angles at either end that the bench attaches to allowing it to be removed for cleaning.

Lol, Jesse, I had to study that photo AVSinteriors posted forever to figure out what you meant about the tile direction but after I did I do see what you mean. I never thought of it that way but logic states the water would run off the vertical lengths of grout far more successfully than it will the horizontal! I went in the current family bathroom and had a look at the tiling - very interesting. And a plan changer. I'm glad we hadn't gone too far in planning the shower area yet. Well spotted you on that tile, this is the first time I've heard anyone mention that! I love the inset teak mat-floor for the shower area of that wetroom, too.

@arc3d I dug out the very first design we had drawn up for the ground floor and interestingly the kitchen space isn't too dissimilar from your proposal, with some adjustment to door placement. It would be very nice to have enough room to clearly separate seating from dining furniture and I'm not sure it's possible in the current plans without doing as you suggest. Referring to our existing plans, my thinking was to move bench seating with dining table (extendable 6-8 person) to the party wall and seating to bay window area as @rinked suggested. Hopefully that would free up space for a small 2-seater sofa facing windows and couple of chairs with a side/coffee table. Note, the reason we introduced a double step-in to the external wall was because although not captured in the plans, the passageway tapers towards the house and we want to maintain a 700mm to run bicycles and wheelie bins to the rear. I think a side window in the kitchen wall was omitted because it faces our neighbours brick wall; maybe we could add one retrospectively at head height to the planning application, to reflect the side window in the extension: @rosemonde Below are the submitted plans for the other floors and external elevations for comparison to your house (- ignore the stair direction on 1st floor; this will be flipped but there's a separate application for the loft under PD so the plan here shows the current stairs). I should also add that we plan to change the walk-in wardrobe in 2nd floor plans so that the entrance is opposite the en-suit, with drawers along length of eaves and wardrobes along length of partition; we feel this will give us more bed placement options (e.g. facing the rear window) and make the walk-in section less cluttered. Our current layout is awful (we recently purchased the house knowing we'd do this work); the kitchen is where utility is planned, there's a horrible lean-to conservatory where extension is planned and a similarly nasty lean-to utility to the side, the current bathroom is oddly split into a bath and separate shower room (with two adjacent toilets split by the partition) and loft space is a bedroom with non-reg stairs, floor joists and ropey dormer window. We're making the study 2m wide as well to make it a more practical size (it's currently 1.4m) and potentially use it as an overspill 5th single bedroom if necessary: Hope this helps you with your own plans and feel free to PM me if you want further info :-)

Open plan kitchen design

We built an extension a few years ago with a similar kitchen to option one, including a peninsula. The layout works well and I’m really pleased with the functionality of the design. We have a cupboard either end on the lounge side of the island and stools sit in the middle, plus a dining table close by. I agree with all the comments above about stools, they are used regularly. One thing I would change is our light switches are the on the lounge side of the peninsular and that means walking round to put a light on when working in the kitchen. Ideally, it would be best to have the switch on the kitchen side. We have pendant light over the island, which looks good and again are functional. Final, thing to say is it’s worth every penny! Open plan living, extra space, lots of light from roof lantern and bifold doors into garden are all brilliant. 4 years on I still love it and appreciate it every day.

Hi all, here’s an early spec of the new layout. Things I like - my home office is slightly longer and likely a more comfortable space to work in. The stairs are on the left hand side which enables the pantry on the right hand side to become larger and combine with the utility room from upstairs (allowing one of the upstairs bedrooms to become an en suite) Access to kitchen utility is from kitchen What I don’t like: our layout to the rear of the property is somewhat impeded by a post in the middle of the room (shown where current kitchen cabinets end) which was meant to be junction of kitchen and playroom and serves to hold up a beam. Removing this post would open up floor but need a larger beam and additional cost of £5k+ which I’m trying to avoid. Sofa layout just seems out of place/too big and placement of media wall dictated by the post and trying to run media wall behind kitchen cabinet. That side of the room also seems to have lot of wasted space. What I’d like to refine: a kitchen layout in same location that incorporates an island /peninsula. Sofa to placed nearer to the patio doors facing out to the right hand side of the property (garden is south west facing) A casual dining area near the orleo window on right and more formal dining area towards bottom left hand side of the room. Any tips welcome!
