Downstairs layout, what would you do?
Comments (6)I agree with doing away with the Pantry door in to the sitting room, it's not needed. However, although as you say it might make a better seating area with the hall to lounge door blocked up to, I think living with no door will be annoying. You would have to walk through the Pantry and kitchen, through the dining room and round just to get to the lounge. Likewise the same route to get to the downstairs loo, which i presume is on the left of the plan ( or should be ). Access from the hallway to a lounge is a given in any house, and I personally think it would be odd without it. If you're dead set on doing away with the lounge door, then move the pantry to lounge door right to the front end of the wall it's on instead of having it right in the middle splitting the work surface in two. That way you will have a door in the middle of the lounge and get better unit space in the pantry. I would also make the pantry area wall to ceiling cupboards with Shelves inside. It will act as an extension to the Hallway, and everything needs to put away....See MoreLayout - what would you do
Comments (10)The space lends itself to the previous comments. A nice window seat in the bay window would be great along with a long running kitchen from wall to ceiling - same as what Jonathan has proposed. However is that an island or a dining table? Depending on the size you could have an island with a lower tier to it that acts as a dining table in one. My best advice would be to draw out what you think you would like using masking tape or chalk depending on what you currently have down on the floors....See Morewhat would you do with this layout?
Comments (2)Although it closes off the lounge, it makes for a better kitchen, so i'd probably go for something like this. Besides which, not everyone wants their main lounge open to a kitchen / diner....See MoreWhat would you do with the space? Ideas, recommendations, inspiration?
Comments (9)Hi. I’m no good at doing plans on computer I’m afraid ( I possibly could but it would take me hours) but I did do a little sketch with what I think could work. Just note that it’s not to scale and I’m not a pro, just a hobby of mine. So I’m thinking shed in top right corner then in between greenhouse and shed you could lay paving and have an area for an outdoor fireplace or bbq area. Just think it would be nice to have that area as more of a working yard, somewhere you can potter about (potting bench perhaps). Then I put a corner summerhouse in the left hand corner with path leading from it to the new patio area. The bench and slabs in the middle I would perhaps remove to open the lawn space but you could keep the trees depending on what variety they are, trees can grow very big. Otherwise I think you’ve done a great job so far:). It’s a nice size garden so plenty of possibilities. Here’s my rough sketch and some ideas for outdoor fireplace:...See Morerinked
