layout ideas / advice please (Downstairs)
Comments (11)The layout we are deciding on is similar to below, except we will swap the living and dining room so the dining room is next to the kitchen. Approximate measurements: (metres) Kitchen 5.5 x 3.6 widening to 5.5 Proposed dining room ( labelled living rm on picture) 3.6 x 4.8 Proposed living room (labelled dining room on picture) 3.2 x 4.57 Girls Rm 2 x 3.6 The downstairs WC / shower room has to be in that position because of soil stack. Thanks in advance for your thoughts...See MoreDownstairs Layout Advice
Comments (16)Hi Vicki, I quite like your new layout, although i'd give it a little tweak. I can see where you're coming from, and i think you can get a slightly better layout with even more storage. It's a basic plan, so i haven't placed the oven(s), hob, sink etc or added in any wall units, it's a basic idea. I know that by putting the Utility on the left it gets rid of the front to back aspect of the house through the front door. However, a view through, does not top trump space for storage when you've got children to think about and all that come with them! Yes you could move the Utility over and join it to the W.C, but i actually prefer the door less through and through, which is quite handy with small children running around. Also, when you look from the back door down the length of the kitchen it seem longer as you look straight through to the wall against the stairwell....See MoreAdding a downstairs Toilet Help!
Comments (4)Thank you for your replies. My first though was to add a utility and toilet but we eventually want to do an extension at the back to make the kitchen/diner much bigger so shouldn’t matter if we take up some of the space with the cloakroom now!? It takes up more space as I didn’t think it was ideal having the door off the kitchen or dining room. Instead I thought it would work better off the entrance hall and make the hallway to the toilet and coat area etc?! The kitchen/diner would still be 17ft x 9ft so still not to bad until we save to extend later on. It would incorporate the space under the stairs at the minute it’s very unused space! I guess I’ll see how doable and pricey by getting a builder in. Just wanted to see if anyone had done anything similar. ☺️...See MoreAdvice on adding a downstairs toilet & design for utility
Comments (4)Hi, can't quite work out your diagram as it is a little small for me to see on my screen. However, if it helps in terms of visualising space, I squeezed a downstairs toilet in what was a tiny pantry adjacent to my kitchen wall. It is approx 800mm x 1250mm. I chose a limline toilet wil short projection and the smallest basin I could find (only needs to be big enough to wash hands in) and took a bit out of the wall to set it in slightly so it didn't stick out beyond the door arcitrave. This was a renovation project not my own long term home so needed to be careful with budget. tiles were left over from main bathroom but as its such a small area not a bit cost to put some more stylish tiles in. Also I put a narrower door rather than a standard door...See MoreOnePlan
