Need help with kitchen planning in our Victorian terrace flat
Comments (5)Hi Daisy, Thanks for your comment - my thoughts about your thoughts: I wouldn't put the washing machine next to the oven. By doing that it leaves you with a straight corner base (in which you have the sink) which means the right hand door will provide you with access to the corner only by crawling on your hands and knees. In this corner try to replan using a 900 L shaped base which means both doors can be opened to allow full and easy access. How far away can the plumbing stretch for a washing machine? Would you recommend to put it in any particular place instead? I understand that the corner cabinet would be wasted space but I can't really think of anywhere else to put it - the plumbing is directly behind the sink. A definite no no to the microwave in the wall unit for me. Dangerous to lift hot liquids out of. A sure hazard. Don't forget you'll also be stretching over the worktop to reach this. Good point! My partner isn't happy with that either, she's sure she'll end up spilling something! It's likely we'll get a freestanding microwave. Is there any way you can make a window seat in front of the low sash window? It would be nice to see the view while dining. Perhaps a window seat for 2 people a square table and then 2 chairs on the other side? That sounds good - it would not obstruct the window and kind of be like a low bench, I've mocked it up using the kitchen planner (obviously need to rethink the table and doors). Where the table currently is would you have room for a couple of tall units ..... this could be fridge/freezer, single oven and integrated microwave over or larder unit (that's if you're happy with the window seat idea). I think if we did the window seat idea - there still wouldn't be enough room on that chimney breast unfortunately. From the outside on the Ikea and Magnet plan you will be able to see the worktop so you could have the bottom of the sash windows with frosted glass. You can buy a film to do this yourself. Most worktops are only 600mm deep. I know Ikea's are deeper but that's taking up essential space and providing a bigger hangover at the front. Thanks for that, if we go with the breakfast bar idea - then we will look into frosting the glass. We're on the 1 & 2nd floor so it's not really overlooked....See MoreMassive renovation project - floor plan dilemma 1 flat vs 2
Comments (71)Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing well wherever you are but I bet everyone's busy at this time of the year. I have been a busy bee myself and learned how to use Homestyler but I must say it's a painful and slow process. I have been obsessed with the floor plan of the small flat for the past week as the time has come to finalize it with the new team. We'll be around 2 months behind the plan which is fine. So I made the decision to not have a loft in the small flat because the floorplan I chose seems to work well with loads of storage. Please excuse some of the furniture such as the kitchen and the colour of the large cabinet, they will be white but Homestyler is quite limited so I had to chose from whatever they had in store. Let me know what you think of the floor plan please. I'm happy with it so far. I'll send you links to short panoramic videos Honestlyler created which was a godsend as that'd exactly what I wanted to see, at least approximately how my flat would look like. I really wanted visualise what to expect. The videos are pretty much the same but starting from different angles of the 30sqm flat.

Comments (16)I wonder if the above is possible….. to make your second bedroom a double size room steal some space from your main bedroom for a shared shower room, the window in the current bathroom would cast light into the hallway, if the bedroom door is left open during the day. if you dont move the kitchen into the sitting room then maybe have it open plan to the hall and if the area behind the current sink was originally a door, perhaps put a frosted glass panel in to get difused light from the 2nd bedroom into the kitchen area. I would change the lighting in the hall to maybe soft glow wall lights. i would maximise the potential for storage space in your large hall I hope this gives you some more ideas to take to the architect...See MoreGround Floor Plan redesign/renovation
Comments (11)Remove the wall between the dining room and kitchen and have the kitchen in the dining room with an island then the kitchen is ‘all seeing’…into the front sitting room and the new kitchen/dining/living room across the rear. I would put a door from the utility into the garage and flip the utility into the rear of the garage along with the wc, you could have an additional entrance recessed at the bottom the stairs, I’d keep the front of the garage for storage and retain a bigger entrance (your current entrance), for guests. i would move the utility entrance along the garage wall to the ’new utility’ to square up the new kitchen/dining/living area...See MoreNathan V
