Kitchen layout advice in new open plan extension
Comments (6)I would suggest handing the FF the other way - aesthetically looks better paired with the pantry that way - and allows you to open both to see what needs to be restocked or to decide what to cook etc. Also for aesthetics, have the drawers either side of cooker both three drawers and the odd one other side of pillar as a two....See MoreAdvice planning for extension and dormer
Comments (5)Hi First thing is you need to find a Architect who can draw the plans for you.. shop around for the best prices. Architect will come visit you and then give you a price... it's usually a fixed price for a "drawing" and this will also include everything written up aswell location of windows materials to be used and rules and regulations. The plans then get submitted with a fee to the local Authority for approval. After approval you go ahead and select a builder of your choice. You can also call over Builders before you do the plans in fact it's best if you call builders over first before the plans are done so they can give you an idea of what can be done etc. Again if you want you can shop around for prices ... whether you will provide materials and pay them labour or you just pay them and they get everything and do the job .. which will be much less stressful. Just keep an eye on the materials being used. Your plans/drawing will state what material to be used where.. eg; fire rated plaster boards.. normal plaster boards.. fire rated door frames to be made where.. water proofing in bathrooms.. what insulation to use where etc etc etc... Just ensure you do some research.. even though you won't be building it yourself it's going to be your house and you will be paying your hard earned money to these people to make your house for you so just keep an eye out that the job is well done and to a good standard. Hope this helps...See MoreAdvice re kitchen diner extension plans
Comments (30)We currently have folding doors between the living and dining room but I find them very awkward. My plan (when we can afford it) is to put pocket doors there so we can easily close off the living room or have open as desired. So you think it's okay for the only access to the kitchen to be through the middle room? I wondered if it would end up feeling like a corridor, rather than a room! I don't know that we have the space for that much storage but it does look great. Having a couple of chairs at the end of an island or peninsula is a good idea, if there's not room on the side. Any thoughts on the kitchen layout? I've drawn so many floor plans and end up using a different one each time. I may have to figure it out with a kitchen designer once we have booked a builder. I know the builders we are considering are booked in advance for some time, so we should have some time to decide on the kitchen specifics! Thanks again for the input. I really appreciate it!...See MoreExtension Floor plan advice please
