Jonathan, this is wizardry! I hadn’t considered using that space and moving the bedroom door! I would assume the wall changes are more stud walls so wouldn’t be a crazy expensive thing to do? (Valid point on the flooring etc)

Even with the bit of wall still in Jonathan's plan would work just fine (and you possibly wouldn't need new floors). Just the extra hallway (and bed door changed) and leave out the door to the living. Perhaps you can even use the units from that little corner. And get a quote to move the boiler there.

Thanks! Just so I understand you… do you mean extending the kitchen but not taking the original wall out? Or taking out the wall entirely so it’s more open plan from the hall?

Changes in blue:

Aah gotcha!!!! Thanks so much!

This is soo helpful Thankyou. The flooring is pretty solid but not sure specifically what it is, will have another look. Great idea on the glass door, the hallway needs that light. Will share updates when it gets going!

Hi Jo,

I would also create L-shaped bench seating for the dining table as it requires less space and also provides again extra storage.

This is amazing! Thankyou! Are these designs loosely correct from a sizing perspective - so this could actually be possible? I appreciate it’s a small space. I hadn’t considered an l-shaped bench but that’s deffo happening!!! Storage is key!
I wonder, would it make sense and fit in to add an ‘L shape’ to the galley kitchen - perhaps to close of the kitchen to the lounge space? (Blue blob as example)

Hi Jo,

without having exact measurements, it's not 100% correct and I did do a very quick overlay of your house floor plans. So the measurements are probably s bit off, but there is room to tweak things in that case.

If I were creating an actual design I would ask for precise measurements of everything, and make sure every tiny detail is considered and all space optimised.

This was just a super quick thing I've done to help you visualise the idea.

But I have included measurements from it, for you to have a look, and I would be more than happy to help you further if you need. I currently offer 50% discount design rates for new Houzz clients and very flexible package options, to give you exactly what you want, and need.

in regards to your question, I think the peninsula would be tricky, due to the table and chairs, as you want a good clearance, so a person can easily pass, while somebody is sitting there. But there are many other options to create a separation between the two spaces, that doesn't effect flow, light or functionality.

This is brilliant, thankyou! It’s really helpful to see the possibility - and I hugely value your expert perspective. Thanks!
