Help, no dining area!
My 1920s bungalow (Sunderland), doesn’t have any space to eat at a table. Often, we retreat to either the freezing/hot conservatory or the back garden and I run back and forth to the kitchen which is at the front.
The lounge works well, with furniture positioned facing the TV wall and garden. However it’s right in the middle of any plan to find a dining area perhaps from the 3rd bedroom (our study) or conservatory (if it were rebuilt as a proper room, dep upon cost and light?)
I’d love to open up the space but I don’t know where I would then place seating as the main route would be through the lounge.
Has anyone any ideas:
- How the living rooms can be better organised to include an eating area?
- Or an approx cost if the conservatory was rebuilt as a proper room 12x15ft? (N.E.England)
- Which type of professionals would be best suited to any suggested plan?
Thank you
Dallas.

Comments (9)Thank you, I did want to get the glass top table with oak cross bar from habitat, but we have a 2 and 4 yr old, so was a bit concerned about the glass top. We don't overly need the window treatment for privacy you can't really see in. Do you think we should just keep it without a dressing? Could you suggest a paint to go with the cream tiles. We were having the pale grey grout and originally I had looked at wimborne white F&B. I had also thought about painting the end wall a similar colour to the cupboards?? I like oak (obviously!!) But want it to have a contemporary feel too. We have also ordered the pewter marteaux lights from habitat (2 small over breakfast bar and large over table) to see if that gives it a bit more of a contemporary feel). Thank you for your help! I'm at that jaded end of a project, with a young family and a working and really want to lovevthe space we create!!...See MoreHelp!!! living/dining area update ideas

Comments (17)Hi Andrei, From a circulation view point I think you would naturally enter the room and form an arc to the right to the kitchen arriving at the kitchen island so the dining table would be best on the right I feel. A fire on the left where the vase is would look good visually as you walk in and less cluttered along that wall. If the island is movable I would suggest moving it to the right, closer to the sink and hob to allow a line of site from the sofa to the garden though the French doors. Perhaps a square coffee table tucked in close to the right angle of the sofa would be best for circulation and a bigger rug anchored by the legs of the sofa, perhaps curved on its outer edge to echo a round table?...See MoreDALLAS DOUGLAS

3 months agoHi. Would you consider moving the bathroom (blue) to the hall, new front door in the middle.Same as wumi: Lounge ( orange) at the front cos it is likely to be the darker room. Kitchen behind that ( purple) with room 3 as dining, both opening onto a sunny area, perhaps covered.

3 months agoHi Dallas,
i was wondering if an orangry (various configurations but linking to the sitting room ) off bedroom three, and turning bed 3 to the kitchen might work …something like this?
