L Shape Extension

last year

Hi All
Decent size L shape extension
How did you decide what to position where? We’re looking to get a kitchen, dining and snug out of this space. (Showing as just kitchen on the image)
Keep going backwards and forward on how best to use the space
Any thoughts / ideas are welcome
Thank you in advance

I'd have kitchen area near utility and dining area near kitchen. So living area would be in narrowest part.

Hi Balbir, With regards to your queries you have a multitude of options and permutations for how to arrange the space and extension. The most important thing to consider is how the ground floor works as a 'whole' rather than looking at it in parts. This will then guide you into how to shape the building itself, windows and doors will place themselves. From the photos it's a little difficult to exactly ascertain what needs to be done but an L shape extension should be very easy and will match your neighbour. There are certain planning constraints, either permitted development route or full planning may be required, but certainly possible. If you have any plans, estate agent or otherwise, these are useful to see the current state of play, of if you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact me directly.

I would put a TV on one side of the chimney breast shared with the dining room with sofa floating opposite. Then I would put the dining area beside a door to the garden and the kitchen at the bottom of the room on the diagram.

I can see the dilemma.….a kitchen tucked away to the left but a distance from the utility/wc or entering through the kitchen to get to the leisure areas.

What direction do the patio doors face? considerations might be a south facing kitchen too warm for cooking perhaps….the central wall between the two patio doors an allseeing/no glare TV position.….the chimney backing the dining room a place for Aga/Hob/two way fireplace….

My first thought was kitchen then dining room ….and sitting room to the left…a false cabinet/ ‘secret‘ door to the utility/wc a TV on the centre wall…..more details would help…

Wow youve built an amazing space and can start with blank canvas.

I’d be tempted to keep the kitchen to right, in close proximity to the utility. The chimney breast can serve as a feature to be incorporated into the kitchen. See the attached picture below, ignore the aesthetic - whether its contemporary modern or traditional, that will be your personal choice - its just to give you some inspiration.

Then i would have a kitchen island running parrallel to the utility wall, which will house the sink, dishwasher etc accessed on the utlility wall side. Then on the other side incorporate a raised breakfast bar.

On the right hand side of the room you’ve got room for some relaxed seating, coffee table etc for your morning caffeine hit 😃

cant wait to see the finished pictures, please do post!
