Ideas needed for layout of kitchen diner
Comments (5)Seems like quite a lot of upheaval for not a huge gain in space. Could the two spaces be made to work better where they are? You could add base units to create a u shaped kitchen giving you more storage and a serving area (you could have shelves on the dining room side holding eg cookbooks, placemats, napkins etc) [https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/london-townhouse-traditional-kitchen-london-phvw-vp~23607821[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/london-townhouse-traditional-kitchen-london-phvw-vp~23607821) Bringing the range cooker forward in line with the units (building out the wall behind) would flow better too. Could the desk go elsewhere? I think this would make the dining space more inviting. I think its nicer to have a dining area looking out and opening into a garden than a cooking area. Also you lose worktop space to the patio doors, rather than a window above the sink, as I presume you have now?...See MoreNeed Help with the Layout of a Downstairs Wet Room
Comments (6)Our guest en-suite is pretty much the same size as your loo 2.60m x 1.40m. It was built as a wet room with underfloor heating, but we added shower doors after a while, as the toilet (seat) would take a long time to dry after showering. I love the layout, it's simple and efficient. As for colours, my preference was for black tiles on the floor and red glazed tiles in the shower to complement, however hubby thought it would look too Gothic and we ended up with some safe 'swimming pool' glass mosaic. There's also a slim towel warmer behind the door, not visible in the photo. As your space is wider, I think you could create an alcove like in the Grosvenor Riverside pic. Let me know if you want more details, I can give you exact measurements if you need them. Good luck!...See MoreLiving room / Dining layout dilema. Please help
Comments (20)Hi, Thank you for the photos, now I have a better understanding of the whole area. Yes, the sofa looks better after turning it around, but if you`re planning to buy a new one (or loveseats), it would be better to think about some modular sofas. They are easy to move in a space and you can match different sizes and colours as well. What do you mean with the option “c) separate the nook area with 3 white wood panels hanging from the beam”? Sorry, but it was clear to me. Regarding the TV nook I was thinking about the option to leave the TV and the cabinet where they are and use the walkthrough path between the column and the half wall as a storage place (see photo). You can place there a shelving system, which can be used from the dining area as well. You mentioned that you don`t like bumping into the sofa after entering the room. What about to create a small hallway and use some room dividers to make it cosy entrance, where you can sit down to take off your shoes and leave the keys and bags on a side table? The room divider should be something massive (wood or metal), but also something transparent to avoid creating dark corners. The playing nook can be placed in the corner next to the seating area (adding extra lounge chair optionally) and the home office on the other side of the dining area . Now I hope that you have enough inspirations and options to think about. Good luck and enjoy your new layout! Regards, Mariann...See MoreHelp, Ideas, Advice Needed Extension Layout
Comments (13)It will cost the same to put new water pipes to the extension as the existing bedroom to the right. The difference is the cost of digging drains and I suspect that if a new bathroom follows your plan and sits in the top left hand corner you will have to have a new drain across the back of the house. I think you need to establish where the drains are so that you are sure that your “practical and financial” argument for putting an extra bathroom in the extension is actually true. From experience I know there is a good chance they go down the right side of the house in which case you could save thousands. Your deeds might include a plan or you can look for outside clues such as inspection covers...See MoreSarah James
