Downstairs layout help - incl. kitchen
Comments (18)Option 1 : Doesn't offer a lot of storage, sink to close to end panel of the appliance housing to make it practicle, the option of dining at the breakfast bar looks compromised by the hob, also doesn't appear to be much practical worktop to use for preparation, toaster kettle etc. In my opinion not a good design, creates more problems than it solves Option 2 : Is the better design but I think lose the wall have a straight run with tall units on the garden end and none at the other taking away the bulky end panels. Turn the island 90 degrees and make it longer and deeper....See MoreDownstairs layout advice - adding downstairs toilet
Comments (6)I was thinking of 2 ideas for the position of your toilet... the green option is great as it’s out of the way, under the stairs but reduces the middle room and the toilet pipes are far... Or the blue option: reduces your kitchen, but great for the pipe just above. It depends on many things... Do you have children, in that case, they might need space to play/toys... Do you want 2 dinning areas? Ie: breakfast and middle room... I would personally change the window in the middle room, for a French door... and take the wall off as you mentioned. This would create a nice spacious dining room. I would use the breakfast room as a comfy snug to watch my garden grow while reading a book with a coffee!...See More1930’s semi downstairs layout dilemma
Comments (9)Hello All, and thank you for your suggestions and ideas. @User yes, I would like to keep the units. These were installed by the previous owner no more than 2 years ago and, I believe, are still in the shop for me to add matching units. I like how the two existing doors align in your drawing and I guess having a tall unit (fridge or even the W/D on top of each other) in front of the toilette door will help hiding it from view when opening the door. How disruptive and expensive will be to connect the svp to the existing one? Moreover, I am wondering if there will be sufficient light coming from the existing window. There will be skylights and bi-folding doors in the extension. The other option would be to add a side extension on the right of the staircase creating the corridor the house is missing and put the toilette/boiler under the staircase as it is common in semi with that type of space. My only concerns would be: how much it would add cost wise What would happen to existing electricity/gas metres and lastly, how much space it will leave on the side of the house. I am looking towards to your thoughts. Thank you very much. Miriam...See MoreNeed help with downstairs layout
