Help with floorplan in new build kitchen/diner/living?

2 years ago

Hi All,

I am hoping someone with a more creative mind than my own can offer some guidance/ideas on the floorplan for our new build Kitchen / Diner.

Provided below are floorplans and images of the showhome to provide an idea of the space. In an ideal scenario, we would like to have the following 3 items however we realise this may be rather optimisitic:

1) 'Living' area represented by the corner sofa

2) Dining table

3) Breakfast bar - this is the item we accept is most unlikely.

We have considered many options and landed on the 2nd image as being the most likely, with the dining table positioned where the sideboard is presented and a corner sofa on the back/living room wall. We are not able to re-position any of the existing kitchen units however a return peninsula island is possible.

If anyone is able to provide rough sketches or share their ideas on how we may be able to achieve the above, my wife and I would be hugely thankful.

The through doors into the living room have been boarded up, providing us with a 4m wall in the dining area.

Current idea

Sales material floorplan - the internal through doors are removed on our house.

Hello Mike,

Congrats on your new build, I agree with Charley from Covey Kitchens, including an island and dining table will make the space feel small. A better compromise would be to introduce a breakfast bar and remove the sideboard. I've attached a sketch. Or you can keep your idea but go for a 4 seater dining table.

Happy to assist if you need more help: www.copperdustinteriors.com

Thanks, Vanessa

Yes of course, however I haven't got any on the computer I am currently on. I will make sure to upload some as soon as possible, and I would like the majority of rooms on the ground floor especially to be facing the back of the house, where I find the views are best. And that would be extremely helpful thank you! And no it does not include the plot, I'm aware the budget is rather broad however we are very flexible and I'm still debating on the size of the house, and yes I will do. And yes, very much so, however, good luck with your new home!

Hi Rinq, thank you so much for taking the time to draw up some possible floor plans for us - this has been incrediby helpful. I love your proposed layout for the kitchen. My only concern with your design is that the wall with the kitchen- diner entrance is load bearing and would therefore require structural work to move. Presumably this would not be an issue, just something I will need to discuss with a builder for an estimated cost. Do you think there would be enough room in the kitchen to add a pennisula on the external wall of your design, turning your design into a G shape kitchen? This is something we are considering but it is hard to tell whether the area would feel cramped. I have attached a screenshot of another kitchen design that my partner likes which utilises an island although I do not think our kitchen diner has enough space for this. Again, thank you for considering and proposing a floor plan for the 1st floor. Your approach to moving the master suite to the left of the property makes complete sense and appears a better utilisation of space, although walking this through in the house we have realised the views are much better on the right hand side of the property from the existing master bedroom and feel it would be best to keep this as the master. Do you have any recommendations on how best to use the extension for an en-suite & walk in wardrobe i.e. layout of bathroom items, which way round to have the two rooms, and also considering the window positioning & soil pipe that will need to be inserted to remove waste at the front of the property. Appreciate this is a lot of considerations I am seeking help for so any feedback / comments would be great. Thank you in advance.

Q

Hi! It's a very grand entrance hall. Looks like a really interesting house that could have some beautiful original features. Is there anything that you're looking to protect that gives it character? There are a few options for an ensuite. The small room over the entrance could have potential, but it looks like it might be tricky to drain from their. Potentially a combination of first floor extension and reconfiguring the family bathroom and wc could create an ensuite to a larger masterbedroom at the back. You ideas for the ground floor have merit, and seem doable. It will work well or not depending on locations of doors and windows. Then the structural changes, where you open up will also be key to getting it to work well and be cost effective. I'd love to help you out with your project, and it would be great to have a chat. I offer an online Home Design Workshop that will help you. It includes a visioning process that I guide you through so you can get really clear about what you want and need. Then together we explore your options in a design session, and I'm sure we could come up with some great solutions for you. If you're interested let's have a chat so you can tell me more about your project and you can ask me any questions about the workshop to check it's right for you.

Hello,

Wow how exciting about the new house! Congrats!

I like your ideas and where it's going - I can definitely see how the corner sofa/snug area will work well. Is there a main living room/lounge elsewhere at the property? I would be a little worried that with the corner sofa and dining table across where the sideboard is (and being that area is your main walkway with glazed doors to the garden) that it may feel like a slightly enclosed space. You could definitely add a small peninsula breakfast bar with overhang for a couple of seats - I would do this around the small boxed in wall area and have the worktop scribed to it. I would then consider having a much smaller sofa and dining table similar to the show home layout.

I think the first and your main idea is probably the best layout - I would definitely try and measure the space if you can (site/show home permitting) and see what space you are left with and how the walk though space feels.

If there is anything else I can help you with please do let me know.

Good luck with the house and I hope it all goes smoothly.

Charlie

I'm not keen on sofas in kitchen-diners, so my advise would be to get some very comfy dining chairs and a large table. Change the radiator for a vertical model next to the garden doors and place a sideboard+mirror (or hutch, drawers, whatever suits you) on the back wall.

A peninsula would block the symmetry of the kitchen and probably the traffic line as well.

It can be set according to the kitchen floor.
