Long, narrow kitchen layout

My kitchen layout is driving me mad! What’s the best layout? Do layouts with one long wall work ok, as this is seeming most likely?
One half of the room is 3m x 3m and one half is around 3.6 x 3.6, original kitchen design out units all along one wall, but I’m worried I should zone it more, so there’s separate cooking and eating/table areas, so also came up with a peninsula design, but that feels a bit of a squash. 2 current options in the photos, any thoughts/inspiration/alternative suggestions appreciated!!
The area on the left is a snug area with sofa. I can’t move any doors/windows.

Help with layout of long narrow kitchen / diner
Comments (10)Hello Karen, The pic is a bit too small and doesn't really enlarge to see what's happening here.. It's not always the case that offering another bedroom would be the right way to go in order to make more money as I'm assuming this is the reasoning... If the space is obviously kitchen and dining it's really difficult too with the spatial configurations to offer this as living room as well. I think a straight galley would be good here and what I would design, but with windows possibly not this run on window side but on the opposite side with the configuration I'm going to suggest... Start with a full height fridge freezer in the corner Then have a run of two cabinets and then free standing range at 60 wide and then two further low cabinets and then sink with slimline dishwasher for example.. So roughly going to about 460 or so. . Maybe you could incorporate a free standing dresser for crockery/glassware opposite and then the 4 cupboards would be pots and pans etc... keeping the galley minimal means the space opens as much as possible... . How you deal with the colours etc will of course have further impact.. If you had this on the wall side you could then have some overhead cabinets if you wanted to... Many interesting ways of doing this that is not just uniform and boring.. I'd keep the front room as a living room and rear as bedroom, there may be a way to re plan the bathroom to make it smaller whilst retaining what is essential... for a bath consider a soaking tub which is a meter wide or a tiny bath with shower fitting overhead.. : ))...See MoreLong and narrow living room, please help!
Comments (10)It might be worth looking into a stove with a faux chimney breast. Just looking at your sofa, lamps etc it looks as if you like a classical/transitional style? If you did opt for that and it's feasible to install again I might position it off centre. http://www.woodburners.com/installations/no-chimney,-no-problem.html you may hate this idea but I have a large oriental wardrobe next to my fire which houses the tv. Your tv doesn't look huge so it may be an option if of course you like it. I only know of this one which is an actual tv cabinet or you could do as we did and drill holes in the back of the wardrobe (it obviously needn't be an oriental one but one that doesn't scream wardrobe!) https://www.oka.com/peking-handpainted-chinoiserie-tv-cabinet.aspx Although if you had a fire as the focal point you may find the tv fades into the background or paint the alcoves a darker shade etc. Re rug I suppose it depends if you move the leather seats into the play room but something with a subtle pattern might look nice? Have you looked for anything else to replace the leather? I like the storage unit you've found. It looks as if your side tables would work the other way round so you could have a media cabinet for cd's and dvds where the toys are currently stored or an apothecary cabinet may work well....See MoreMaximizing a long, narrow open plan kitchen/dining/living space
Comments (4)Hi Jennifer The plan hasn't attached - could you please possibly upload this again in the comment section so I can take a look for you? :) I have two little boys so I can fully understand the play area section - my two have always followed me around so anywhere and everywhere becomes a play area! It is very hard to contain toddlers to be creative in just one area so I can only imagine making sure the open plan space is family friendly as well as useable for everyone is without a doubt a high priority.

Comments (4)We currently have an L shaped sofa, 3 armchairs, a sideboard, a chest and a little side unit, but are open to replacing some/all of the items if it will make the room work better. Dining area is in the kitchen. We had considered adding a small desk for working from home, but can cope without. The French doors lead into a conservatory which goes into the back garden. The window looks out into the front garden/drive....See More
