Comments (3)I meant that you had drawn a run of units that was 20’ long and you could likely get a great kitchen into a smaller space, leaving room for dining. Attaching a dining table to the island is a stylish look and often helps people with insufficient room. Personally though I would prefer the flexibility of a freestanding table that you can extend....See Moreideas please for open plan kitchen diner
Comments (6)First of all, what do you need in this space? Kitchen/dining table? Are you putting in a new kitchen so the whole layout can change? I really dont think you should be considering extending until you know how you are going to use the space you already have and whether or not you actually need more space. I have saw many posts on here with extensions that create BIG spaces and find they dont know how to fill or use the space as it wasnt really planned. I think 28 sqm room is ideal for a kitchen/diner - it is what we will have - you should be able to fit a good kitchen and dining table there. You wouldnt fit any living space, but they you dont need that. Could you sketch a plan of how the current floor looks? Are there now 4 doorways into that room? I assume you blocked up one of the doors from the hallway?...See MoreNot so open plan kitchen/diner...
Comments (3)Hello AnnMarie, Without knocking down walls it might be a little hard to make it a completely open plan kitchen and diner. However, maybe something simple like turning the table 90 degrees might help get a feeling that the two rooms are more connected. You could also try a small move island which could be used for chopping and storage and then when you're not using it you can leave it in the dining room behind the pillar. Jess...See More

3 years agoHi, you could knock through kitchen and living room - you’d have a lovely kitchen/dining/living space. Then have the existing dining room as evening lounge or snug. Depends on your family situation I think as to whether you want the stairs off this room. You have a lot of doors - blocking one or two of them off would obviously give you more wall space to play with for furniture. Alternatively, knock through kitchen and dining room together; and have a glass wall where I’ve shown, so that your stairs are off a new hallway. I saw something on Houzz but I can’t find it now, where they’d done something similar to let light in; think there was a nook for a desk or storage in the hall too. Good luck x
