Open plan kitchen ideas
7 years ago
Hello, any ideas how to resolve this space between kitchen and living space? The space is open plan and I think it should be a transition piece. A bookcase? A cupboard for porcelain? Other? Thank you!

Help with potential house layout/extension
Comments (11)By looking at the layout of the current plan you can definitely achieve a lot with it, at the moment the layout is not great as you have an entrance hallway and than another hallway to enter towards sun lounge and workshop entry is from garage or garden. Kitchen itself is not very practical it does not have dining space big enough or even adding a kitchen island just would not work. Suggest you have the rear extension to square of the building towards the left and where the garage is to try and get the permission to bring the garage wall towards the front of the building of course convert the garage to play area or gym or maybe cinema. New Extension should have 6 panel bifold low frame doors for indoors/outdoor look and two large skylights. In the new rear extension towards the left, add L shape kitchen with large 5 to 7 seater island, open up the walls from sun lounge and workshop make all open plan for new kitchen, dinner and lounge, Relocate stairs to the left where kitchen is now and have double glass doors where stairs is now so the view from entry is right through to rear of the house and you can see the garden. You could have pantry, another kitchen for all the dishwasher, washing machine or even cooking so than the main kitchen is kept for socialising perhaps a wine bar or wine spiral cellar(amazing feature with wow factor) ? Just some of the ideas.....See MoreOpen plan kitchen ideas please?
Comments (4)Was going to suggest exactly what @Cherub Pebble said. Combining dining room and kitchen basically just turns one odd shaped room into a bigger odd shaped room and if you want to include a utility with garden access this would have to be where the current kitchen is (blocking the flow between the front and back of the open-plan), or at the back where the current patio doors are (which is probably your prime area in terms of light and views). If you have room dimensions that you could share, that would be helpful!...See MoreYour ideas for wall colour for open plan living room-kitchen?
Comments (3)I really like that wall unit. Wall colour? I would go with a simple off white like Timeless by Dulux. It’s a nice warm tone. I do have Dulux Polished Pebble in my bedroom. It’s a pale grey. Can look a bit lilac in a dark room, but it looks like you have good light. I find that wooden divide very heavy looking and I would remove it. Just my opinion. First pic is Timeless and second is Polished Pebble....See Moreopen plan layout ideas - where to place the kitchen
Comments (4)Kitchen on the left hand side as you walk into the space island in the middle and dinning table to the right hand side next to the utility. Sofa sitting by the bifold area. Alternatively you can have the dining table under the lantern and sofa at the opposite end of the kitchen....See More
7 years ago- 7 years agoThank you for your thoughts :) There is a dining table just across. I was thinking something along the lines of floating wooden shelves to the edge of the wall to create that “transition” I am looking for between kitchen and living space and then keep the plant and perhaps put a picture above? Will that be too much? We have some books and crystal that would be a shame not to display at some point...(hiding it from the kids for now :)) Now that the big pieces of furniture in place, I am working on adding the soft touches...it is taking me some time! Trying to live and breathe the space first.
