Understairs toilet merging into open plan kitchen

3 years ago

I am looking to convert the understairs area, (extended further by a foot) into a tiny bathroom which will house a toilet and sink. Adjacent to this will start the kitchen, which spills into an open plan lounge.

I should add that when you first walk into the property, you have a hallway and a wall on the right which separates the front lounge, and as you walk straight ahead, you head into the kitchen with the bathroom on the left just before.

Are there any thoughts around how best the mini bathroom/restroom can be achieved...?

I’m struggling to find a way to have a kitchen/island (really would like an island to have useable counterspace), generous dining table (seating for at least 6 people) and a sitting area in the same room if we don’t open up the wall between the current front and back living rooms. Would it make more sense to have part of the garage incorporated into the kitchen? There is a slight difference in floor level though between the garage and kitchen (Step down into the garage). Or block up the current kitchen door and have the access to a dining/kitchen through the current back living room space and then somehow fit in a dining table and seating area?

That’s worrying @ A Babbsy, as offering someone that needs the loo an indemnity paper instead just doesn’t cut it! It’s not just an inconvenience ( pun intended ) to less able visitors, it’s not helpful for homeowners/visitors etc who have a short term incapacity due to accident or injury etc. More investigation of the water works element is required I think - as you may find that the soil pipe from upstairs might come down in an odd place too.

Given that the wall where the hob is 2 meters in the Kitchen would it help if you have full height units along that wall instead of a few wall units. You can have a fridge freezer then a tall unit to house your oven and or microwave and have a corner sink. or have tall units on either side and have the sink where the hob is currently. that will help increase your storage space and also have a lot of units put in. You could then have a 1.8 meter kitchen island with your hob etc with more storage and breakfast bar etc. if you can extend into the current dining area slightly even 60cm that will help add another tall unit. Presume you already have a toilet under the stairs. You could move the current door at the back which is on one corner to the middle with bifold doors as you will not have any units there. That will give you more light and a view of the garden. you can build a utility room with your washing machine dishwasher and also have a pantry . As it is one open space would try to have a raised dining area even if it is 15cm and drop it back in the kitchen area. That will give a bit of height in the dining area and guests can get a glimpse of the garden even when they are seated beyond the kitchen island… Would recommend a wooden floor running all the way from the living to the kitchen. i would lay it in a Chevron pattern drawing your eyes all the way to the garden. if you raise the floor in the dining area, you can create some clever storage there.

Ok, I gave it another go. Floorplan juggling actually gives me piece of mind. Kept the kitchen in its current location. Moved the hallway door as it was an awkward place, created an opening in the kitchen-lounge wall, so one door will suffice. Moved the study-dining wall over to the right, in line with the bedroom wall above (support spot), kept the study, as it will be nice to have an office or playroom and those doors are lovely. This way the dining area became a bit wider, so you can add bigger garden doors to let in more light. Garage became a storage/utility area and I added a downstairs toilet. Probably not the full width open garden view you'd imagined, but one big open square is quite difficult to decorate, whilst keeping a homely feel. Hope it may inspire.
