Layout for open plan living / dining area

3 years ago

Hi Everyone - I am moving to a new house which has a large open area for the living/dining area but which looks tricky to plan for the furniture. Would love to see any ideas that any one has. Attached is a floor plan which I have knocked up - all comments welcome! Typical furniture to be placed (sofa, tv, dining table with 6 chairs etc).

It would help if you add measurements to the walls on your plan

Sorry they are there in the 2d floor plan but you are right they are not easy to see! Will try to reload to make clearer.

Hi there, We recently reconfigured our downstairs as part of a complete renovation and have to say that having a professional on board was a life saver! We used Gina from Create Perfect (above) and she helped us work out how to configure the space to work best for our life. For what you'll spend on the building work and / or a new kitchen you'll probably be very pleasantly surprised by the cost (hundreds rather than thousands) A good designer will come up with 3D images of different layouts and configurations and from there you can pick your favourites and get them to take them a step further so you end up with 3D renders and also YouTube videos of 'walk arounds' in the space, so you can see exactly how the space would look and feel. Here's a few from ours if it helps... we're not finished but it does show how much Gina helped us with a vision to take three separate rooms through to a new layout for our downstairs (we have a separate lounge not included) Separate rooms to start with and a floorplan I was brain dead from looking at... The 3D pics we had to help from our designer... And a few of how it looks so far (lots still to do and most of the furniture still missing / makeshift at the moment but you'll get the idea) Without the help of a professional designer in deciding the new layout goodness knows what we'd have ended up with! There's only so many times you can look at a floor plan and try and imagine how it will all turn out! Good luck whatever you decide- sounds like an exciting project

First, you should decide what you want by the doors..... dining table or sofa? The corner door opening..... putting glass in those corners doesn't allow furniture to go there. I wouldn't have a sofa against the doors as to me it defeats the purpose. I'd shorten the expanse of glass. Also draw it on paper to scale with a table to scale, the dining table you have there can't be to scale, it would take up at least 2.5 m of your 4m width,

Hm, ok, I played a bit with your layout. Top one was assuming the bedroom was a spare. Bottom one with a shared bathroom, a toilet and a good sized utility (vacuum, washing machine, hanging some clothes outside). Personally I'd prefer the L-kitchen as it would leave more living space and a corner unit (I love those Lemans types), 3x 90cm drawers on the cooking side and 4x 60cm fronts on the sink side. Massive sectional sofa, just because I could.
