Need help with my Layout for my new side and rear extension
Comments (14)Hi Imran, Very exciting to be starting your project! I'm not going to make any suggestions on how to layout your space as I'm not an expert but having just gone through a very similar process I thought a few words of advice might be helpful? We were looking at remodelling the downstairs of our house and got structural engineers and architects involved but to be honest it was our designer who was the most help and has stopped us making a couple of silly and costly mistakes with space planning (nothing to do with colours, paint choices or curtains!!!) I would highly recommend working with someone who can do some 3D models and renders of the proposed space for you, so you can see how it will all look. Our designer was amazing and we ended up with 4 or 5 different computer generated 3D images (and YouTube videos!!!) of how the space would look as you walked around it. Not only was it amazingly helpful but she also saved us a lot of money on structural work by pointing out things that would have been costly and not really add anything to the space. I've attached a couple of pics of our space and then the 3D images she did for us. Structural work and remodelling is expensive and our designer (Gina from Create Perfect) was a fraction of what we're spending on the house (far less than I would have expected) and has been worth her weight in gold for getting the space right! I was also surprised by the amount of money we saved using her trade discounts for things like worktops, appliances, carpeting and lighting etc) We're in the middle of building work right now, so I can't post any finished pics but my advice would definitely be to spend a little bit of money now and make sure you get it right as the wrong decisions with walls and structures are mistakes you can't change without a lot more time and money! Good luck whatever you do- it's all very exciting!!!...See MoreRear extension layout design ideas please
Comments (9)Hi Ollie, How about moving the door into the Utility Room so that is accessible from the Kitchen side, thus freeing up the wall where the current Utility room door is, and I would recommend you have some form of wall storage on that wall, as you don't immediately see it when you walk into the room. The kids benches could be off that wall too, so that on either side of the chimney breast and as you walk in the room you could have some open shelves / artwork. When the kids are not playing, you could turn this area into a yoga place! And yes, I agree your table could overlap a little with your existing house, unless you have a large beam above, not hidden in the thickness of the floor joists above. Also, I wonder if a round / oval table will work better in your case, and don't forget the lighting relative to your rooflights!...See MoreHelp please for garage conversion and rear extension
Comments (9)Fair points canonja & rinked.I really liked your layout rinked and it has made me think. We did start with this idea initially however, wanted a bigger kitchen. Hence move bathroom to the corner where it will also be an ensuite. The wall in the study is only in the design if we construct in phases leaving the garage bedroom out. That makes bedroom 1 much larger. I also recognise that there's lots of space in current kitchen so perhaps that could be used for the utility space! Can there be s way to have the bathroom/ toilet elsewhere in the garage space? We are also installing s new megaflow system....See MoreGround floor layout and rear extension help!!
