Thoughts on kitchen/dining/family extension layout?
Comments (10)Hi. I think as you have said that you are a bit messy, the kitchen is in the right place, slightly hidden from the lounge/dining area. If you moved it to the other side of the house, you would change that nice flow from dining to lounge area that you have at the moment. Both will be bright airy spaces, I would think, so that shouldn't be a consideration. If you are going to stick with having your sink on the peninsula, I would also consider a double height worktop to partly hide all the bits that always seem to gather around a sink. You seem to have the space there to do that, could perhaps add shallow units behind the sink and a small breakfast bar. Whereabouts are you? Let me know if you need any more help!

Comments (2)I agree. It definitely looks big enough, it's just how you choose to organise the space. For me personally I'd extend the kitchen into where your seating is, so it is significantly larger and doesn't feel tucked away. It's also important for me to be able to see the garden from the kitchen. I'd keep the dining zone where it is. I'd put the sofas in the playroom and this would be more of a family/casual space, with a more formal living room at the front. It works to have access to the garden directly from this space, and I could use the sofa beds for guests. I don't know how old your children are, but sofas are always best wherever children are playing imo. Either for you to sit with a drink while they are smaller, or for them to play computer games or relax with friends as the get older. Your family probably has different priorities to mine though :)...See MoreThoughts on our proposed open plan extension layout?
Comments (13)How about putting the TV on the wall behind the dining table, that way the sofa can be against the opposite wall which means it faces into the room and there is more space generally. A friend has this and it works well. You could even build shallow storage around it so it’s more like part of the kitchen. Depends on the height of your dining chairs though! Won’t work if they are very tall....See MoreCreative layout thoughts needed!
Comments (7)colourwisedesign.com almost how we initially had it when the dining table was still at the back! It did feel a bit crowded but I wonder whether a smaller chair than the chunky 2 seater we had there, and a sleeker sofa would make it feel less so. Hmm. thanks!...See MoreKyriacos Mosfiliotis
