Looks good to me. Would do a different kitchen layout though (and no sliding door), but I'm guessing this is just a first concept that needs to evolve?

Thanks for your comment.
Just curious at what kitchen layout would you do instead. It’s nice to listen to different ideas too. ☺️

This laptop won't allow me to zoom in the image to read the measurements, but my first thought would be to rotate functions clockwise. Kitchen where dining is, dining where sitting is and sit where kitchen is. But how are the views outside? Where does the bifold lead?

I understand what you mean and have seen loads of renovations like that but it always feels to me that the kitchen ends up being quite small and we wanted more space that’s why we decided to put the kitchen in the dinning room. View outside isn’t amazing. A very small garden on a triangle shape. It’s more of a courtyard I suppose.

Just came across this kitchen, thought I'd share :)

Why would 3m not be enough? It's perfect!

How many people in your household?

What type of appliances would you like to add?

Just a thought regarding your WC, if you reconfigured your space you could have a shower in there too. 2.5m x1.5m is a big WC. I'm currently altering my en suite which is the same size.

We have more or less planned our kitchen and by removing the chimney breast and using both walls of our current dinning room, we believe we will create a nice space for the kitchen. I understand your idea but I don’t think it would work for us as a family of 4.

Thanks Kay. We thought about that but not sure if we will ever use the shower there?! We are also doing a loft conversion with an en-suite so in our case we wouldn’t need one. I sometimes wonder if we shouldn’t make the toilet smaller and make our utility bigger...

No keep the cloakroom big and include a storage cupboard for coats and shoes

I agree with rinq about the layout of the kitchen. The island in your render completely blocks the walk way through between sofa and dining table.

These layouts are better:-

Thank you for your layout suggestion.
It does look nice. We didn’t really want a u-shape kitchen and like the idea of an island but completely get what you’re saying. A friend recently did the same layout you suggested and now she regrets not having done an island. I suppose it’s just a personal choice but the walk way to the kitchen is something important we have to consider. The island size and space between island x units isn’t so accurate in the drawing.

I like the layout and the larger kitchen. I would however go for a 90cm island, there's not enough of a walkway in the top right corner plus it will give more space for a walkway to the table (and I'd consider a bench/banquette against the wall). i think that will give you enough walkway into the kitchen but if not (by eye) you may be able to move the island left a little depending on what's going where. I feel the sofa is too big for the room though and too close to the island.

Thanks Minnie, interesting your ideas.
I also think the corner sofa idea might not work and I’m happy just to have a medium sofa in that open plan area as we will still have a living area at the front of the house.

The first render has an island, it's just against the wall to give you more counter space. However, you could shorten it down and leave a gap both sides.

I hear what you're saying about having what you want, especially if you've set your heart on an Island. It's the entrance that causes the problems for you as it eats in to the room and thus causes a problem with enough room to walk around . In order to get your 1m gap to walk through you have to move the island 1.5m from the Units, and that's fine if you don't mind that.

You could swing the whole thing round like this:-

It does create a funny little gap between the entrance and the island, but that too is fine, if you don't mind.

However, of course you are quite right, you can amend the length and depth of your island and go for a different sofa layout! Super !

The island looks way too big, so good to hear the kitchen layout is a little different.

I'd say use a kitchen work table instead of an island. More flexibility when having large family dinners.

Hi Melody, hiw did yoi get on? I'm interested how things worked out for you because we have come up with an almost identical plan for our 1930s home!

Hello! Oh well, things have changed. We’re now doing a loft conversion but the kitchen will be our next project. We are not set on the layout yet but if you’d like to follow, I’m on Instagram @casa1930s 👍🏻🙂
