Floor plan rework - kitchen diner and en-suite

3 years ago

Hi there

Looking to generate some ideas on the attached floor plan.

Looking to make an open plan kitchen/diner with living space ideally by extending out (filling the corner of the property) with a glass roof and sliding doors.

On the first floor I would like to retain 4 bedrooms and a box/study but incorporate an en-suite.

Any ideas on the floorplan would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi!

It's a very grand entrance hall. Looks like a really interesting house that could have some beautiful original features. Is there anything that you're looking to protect that gives it character?

There are a few options for an ensuite. The small room over the entrance could have potential, but it looks like it might be tricky to drain from their. Potentially a combination of first floor extension and reconfiguring the family bathroom and wc could create an ensuite to a larger masterbedroom at the back.

You ideas for the ground floor have merit, and seem doable. It will work well or not depending on locations of doors and windows. Then the structural changes, where you open up will also be key to getting it to work well and be cost effective.

I'd love to help you out with your project, and it would be great to have a chat. I offer an online Home Design Workshop that will help you. It includes a visioning process that I guide you through so you can get really clear about what you want and need. Then together we explore your options in a design session, and I'm sure we could come up with some great solutions for you.

If you're interested let's have a chat so you can tell me more about your project and you can ask me any questions about the workshop to check it's right for you. You can book a call with me here: https://calendly.com/iarchitect/20minchat

I hope this helps,

hi - with this new door configuration it opens up further possibilities - safety wise it's best to move your hob in from the edge of the island - so pan handles are less 'knock able ' designing to suit rooms is ok - but much better to design to suit the people using the room too ! to do this effectively a good designer will need to find out as much as possible about you and the members if your family - how you cook/ shop how often you entertain etc etc it takes time and when done well provides the best results for the room. this is what I do for a living - I don't sell product - purely design !- so instead of offering 'free design ' like studios do ( then making margin on the products you buy) - I charge a fee to design and then you shop around and get the best deal saving much more than the design fee in the process ! so you can see with this in mind - I can't design it for free for you on this thread - but happy to take it further in a professional capacity if you want to drop me an email ! ( nb we are concept designers who can take on whole houses too - so could look at the project in entirety too if needed - as what you do with each room has a knock on effect on the next ! ) kind regards Karen OnePlan

Hi there, we have exactly the same layout and up until now, had decided to use the floorboards. However, we are now going for a laminate in the dining part through to the lounge & a vinyl in the kitchen. There are lots of laminates though that are suitable for the kitchen. Our last one was rubbish (from Wickes) but now they have ones you can use in the bathroom which are completely waterproof so there is way more choice.

Hi Missy, Have you thought about having a shower fitted instead of a bath in the en-suite? Showers can be a lot more space-saving and economical done right. Plus, the technology's come a long way, giving you just as luxurious an experience as you'd have in the bath with options like rain jets, cascade (waterfall-like), lights, aromatherapy and speakers to play music through. What kind of style are you going for in the en-suite? The above are all quite contemporary but we have some traditional bell-shaped rain showers as well. Best of luck with it all, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch! Thanks, Maxine, Smart Showers Ltd

The oven and fridge (and sink) are in exactly the same place in my current kitchen and look fine. I think having the tall full depth units on the right as you enter the kitchen would be quite imposing and take away from the open feel. The work space would be similar but with the corners to use as extra space. Ok you can't stand directly in front but you can still put stuff on the worktop there. Overall I gain around 2m of worktop which great. The leftmost 1.2m of space will be next to the table so to work there would mean having your back to guests. This is why I'd like as much space elsewhere as possible. It is a tradeoff between having the space to the right of the sink, and not having to walk round the peninsula to get to the sink. I'd like to push the sink left but that may break the flow too much. I could put the fridge/freezer on the left next to the dining table but think it best if I can keep anything that might make noise as far from the table as possible.
