Do you have some images of the space? It often helps you give a better idea of how the space feels and what's on each wall etc.

I'm going to say Peninsula as there's more worktop to work on, but it was a very hard decision! But if the L shape had a circle table, I'd probably choose that one.

Layout: Kitchen, Lounge and dining area

I think there are a few things that hinder the layout. The double doors from the lounge to the extension will make putting a sofa anywhere difficult, so i'd ditch those. They affect the furniture layout in the main lounge too, and are unnecessary. I think the span of doors and windows across the back are in the wrong place and too large. If you're having double doors in the hall, then directly opposite, should be another set for flow and light. It's crucial that you have enough wall space when going open plan, to put furniture. You need to consider furniture placement as essential when planning the area in the first instance, and a lot of people come a cropper when they do this. They design an area without any thought to where they're going to put sofas and T.V's then realise that there's not enough space or wall left to put them on. Where you put all of these directly affects placement of the dining table too. The Utility area is under utilised for space. Is there a provision for a downstairs toilet? A larger area can be used. You could go for a layout like this :- However, in my opinion, the kitchen is now too large for the space, and, the dining area is too small. So, I would change to this kind of layout, which gives you more equal proportions for everything. Plus, it looks nice and spacious. There is a properly assigned dining area with room for a sideboard and mirror over. The Utility / Coat room has access both from the Hallway and kitchen. The lounge area has plenty of room for a corner sofa and T.V area. All the windows and doors are central without compromising furniture placement. The only thing still missing is the downstairs loo, so hopefully there has been some provision for this elsewhere, or the Utility area will need amending further.

I have no other pictures but I have a few layouts I have prepared. (scale may not be exact, not sure tv would fit to right of fireplace). putting the television on the chimney breast might work, but the layout as is just had a big gap in the middle of the room and the sofas are too far from the tv so not ideal.

extension layout advice

Hi Lyndsey, The wrap around extension sounds good - it's all about getting the right layout for the kitchen and the appropriate glazing (bifolds, skylights etc). In your case getting the right glazing is very important if you want it to reach the centre of the house Regarding first floor extension, you'll have to be creative here. Not only the layout matters but also the actual shape of the extension, how you place the windows etc. You could always push the bathroom towards the centre of the house, and have some skylights there for natural lighting - the options are endless. We could draw a couple of cool concepts for you if you'd be interested - don't hesitate to get in touch. Cristina
