layout advice for kitchen / diner

2 years ago

We have bought a detached house and would like to make the rear kitchen and dining room more open plan. We want to put a toilet back in under the stairs (there is plumbing already). We also want to create a utility room. We were thinking about making the window in the kitchen into a doorway that would go into a boot room / utility, then into kitchen. Then potentially extend the dining room so it’s in line with the kitchen and knock through. Not sure if there is enough space to squeeze in a utility or if it would be just better having a bigger kitchen and integrated appliances.
Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed. It’s a 1930s house.

Kitchen diner layout advice-where does the dining table go?

I would have the table against the wall (opposite window) with either a bench of built in seating, this way you could have space for a chair / sofa on the opposite aide. If you used a bench, you could then put the table centrally for occasions (xmas etc). I think a central feature light would still work with wall lights to table area.

Good afternoon All, Thanks to your advice and with the added benefit of an in-store kitchen design appointment (to test the original plan), we have had a rethink on our previous configuration. The attached sketch shows our latest thinking. This removes the proposed Utility to the side and a section of the existing external wall, with the side door relocated further down the wall, opening up the space. We can then get a longer run of kitchen and wall units in, as well as an island, and full-width bifolds or sliders across the back. Rather than pursuing the Study/ Lobby 'middle room' idea, a separate Utility Area is created in part of this area, with a much smaller extended hallway/ lobby. And the 'zoned' Snug/ Play Area is preserved to reflect our preference to not go fully open plan. Feels like an improvement to us! What do the rest of you think? All comments welcomed please.

Renovating our kitchen diner, I would like to include some or armchair seating (we have a front living room as well so doesn’t need to be a lot). Which of these options do you prefer? Please excuse wonky positioning - slightly tricky to line up as we have a wedge shaped room!

I‘m wondering if its the fridge/ freezer that is causing the problem. if you could incorporate it into your kitchen area, perhaps by incorporating your outside store? if so then i think you could have a sofa against the stair wall and the table and bench seating infront of the understairs cupboard, you might even have space for an armchair in front of the french doors.
