Need Opinion on Kitchen Extension Design (in relation to Toilet)

You've probably explored this option and discarded it due to soil pipe/plumbing issues etc...HOWEVER: could you use the hallway/under-the-stairs current kitchen entrance as the entrance to a new shower/cloakroom (where the fridge/freezer is, along to the window (?), approx 800 x 2m?). You will then have an interior cloakroom accessed from the hallway ... away from food areas ... and the whole expanse of the rear of the property to let the light in! Does that make sense or have I missed a crucial point? Can't see building control having a problem with that...

Hi Hapiak i would be delighted to work with you for your glazing solutions. I have some very good slimline sliding door systems and just launching an off the shelf rooflight that will appeal to you and your budgets. Please email me asltd16@outlook.com so I can provide you with some ideas Thank you Alice

I agree with Hugh re supervision plus by the time the extension is built your son will be nearing an age where he understands a little more. You may also want him in there to cook with you soon. I'm sure the kitchen can be designed from a safety aspect too if that's the only thing holding you back. I think the advantage of using OnePlan is that Karen can look at the whole house spatially etc and you're not tied to a particular kitchen company (I'm not on commission!). Click on her profile for reviews etc. I second Hugh's comments re karndean too! I like the heringbone parquet! If you did want to hire an interior designer (designers tend to be qualified in planning too I think as opposed to an interior decorator although many of those could be qualified by experience) then you could find you save as much as you spend. Some of them will offer you their trade discount which if doing the whole house could add up to an awful lot. They may also make you save from any mistakes and I've made a few of those! I'd go on houzz and search for pros and look at their reviews and previous work. I think you need to meet people yourself though as it's important to have a good working relationship and make sure they understand you

Kitchen extension design

HI Lornarose I prefer the original plan for the following reasons - If you move the kitchen to the middle section you will end up with a corridor kitchen. I have a corridor kitchen which one must walk through to get to the dog-leg dining room, and I hate it. When my children were young they were going backwards and forwards through the kitchen. Now they are adult (and the same applies to guests too) and want to chat with me while I'm cooking, everyone stands in the corridor kitchen and gets in my way. When they realise they are in my way they go and into the sitting room and I end up stuck in the kitchen on my own. If you put the dining room or snug in the middle section, those rooms will too end up as a corridor, they will become a means of passing through to the kitchen at the end of the house and you may find you no longer use the space. Do you want to be walking past your dining room table/sofa to get to the kitchen? In your original plan the middle space is used for what it is - a corridor - which also usefully houses the services and gets them out of the way of the other rooms and it also gives access to the courtyard. When someone walks into the kitchen/diner then they can turn one way for the kitchen or the other way for the dining room, or past the island to the back doors. There is no need for anyone, apart from the cook, to go into the kitchen area although kids being kids they will do so. I think the design gives you the best layout for dividing the kitchen and dining space in the most practical and user friendly way. Re: the sitting room at the front of the house - in the space you suggested for the cloakroom and laundry you could build a massive, walk-in toy cupboard where you can chuck everything at the end of the day and the space becomes a grown-up space. When the children are older you can take out the cupboard and use the space for something else. Why not print off the different plans and draw on lines to indicate the movement of traffic through the spaces.
