KitchenDinner idea

last modified: 3 years ago

I am strugling to make a decision where to do my kitchen dinning and lounge area. I am attaching a PDF plan of my ground floor plan. If you look at the plan at the back of the property i want to create a kitchen lounge and dinning area and then in the front there is another dinning area. IF we look at the plan the way it is if i go with the kitchen where it is then where it says dinning i am not able to fit dinning and lounge area but if i swap the other way around then i am able to fit. I am also able to move the wall which is between the kitchen and the lounge area if you look on the plan so to make the individual rooms big or small.

I would really appreciate if you could share your ideas and designs how you would utilise the space i have and how would you layout the space we have.

Thanks

Regards

Hi Nessieh, I'm adding it again - without the marketing note at the bottom - which, as far as I've been aware since helping on here back in 2013, is allowed, as it shows the value of the advice offered if you were to be paying for it. So given there are only a few measurements on here - this is a quick sketch of how I might suggest the space be used - obviously I know nothing about you / your family etc - but I'm guessing by your name you are perhaps in Scotland ? Double ( glass if allowed- I don't know how many floors your home has ) doors into kitchen - with small desk and lamp to the side - or additional coat storage if under stairs isn't sufficient. Bank of pantry storage drawers at rear of peninsula - cooking and prep space other side of peninsula - suitable walk/work gap between worktops - then tall units either side of slightly smaller window - that's lined up with new entrance doors - sink under window ... the tall units could either be integrated Fridge and separate freezer at each end - or FF and oven housing - depends on your needs etc. (This is just a rough draft ) The utility I've opening into the boot room to give better crouch space in front of appliances - and I've enlarged the loo to give it its own sink for hygiene ! If fireplace won't be used then a chair could accompany a large sofa and pair of lamp tables. A dining table could be placed near the glazed doors looking out to garden when in use - or pushed to the wall for a better view from sofa when not in use ... Hope this helps !

Hi, I like the look of a single bank of units against a wall with a large island in front. You could then position your table in front of the island or looking out to the garden. You could also create a more zoned kitchen diner with an l-shaped kitchen and island and a dining area elsewhere.... It would help if you have a copy of the floorplan.

Hi Thank you all for your help/advice. Jonathan - thanks for drawing us a plan option. Ideally we would have an L shape kitchen/diner/lounge but we would like the utility at the back of the house and keep a separate toilet - (I always call it the downstairs loo but we have no stairs!!) basically so people don't have to use our main bathroom. So don't think we can do it. We like your ideas for the master bedroom storage and bathroom and layout and see you've moved the study door which is great. The elevation drawings I posted were when we were planning a rear extension the bedroom end - we moved this to the front and feel it works better. This means we'll have a gable roof over this extension and are thinking of having a brick porch with a gable room to balance it out. We think a pitch roof for the kitchen/garage with a flat roof at the rear maybe the best option now and less dominating. Thanks I-architect. We'll check out your checklist. We have been trying to pace out the space. My other half really wants a TV comfy sofa area for him and the kids, I'm less bothered. We think we'll spend most of our time in this room as a family and with friends whereas our lounge is our sanctuary. We agree with you all that it may be best to enlist the help of a pro kitchen designer, space planner that can give us a few options. We naively didn't realise concept planners/designer existed and have gone around the houses a lot already. All a leaning curve. We really can't wait to get it done - we've been living in the bungalow as it is for 5 years and although perfectly liveable - its in desperate need of updating.

Removing load bearing wall to create L shaped Kitchen Dinner

Would you be able to relocate the toilet under the stairs? It would free up a lot of space. If you could, one suggestion could be to put the kitchen in the dining area (closing the door to living room) and creating a small sitting space (play area if you have kids?) in the kitchen. Here a draft visual (sorry it is not really pretty, I have done it on my phone); you would need to check if it works in terms of size as I have not checked.
