Combining Kitchen and Dining Rooms
Thinking of removing a wall to merge our kitchen and dining room without moving sink etc.
Planing to remove wall between the two and move door so that it is in line with the wall separating the reception and dining rooms. And add an island.
Any clever design ideas?

last monthIf you are up for moving the sink, doors to the garden would be good. Where the back door currently is you can create a store for the garden cushions

Comments (4)That made me smile and is so true OnePlan. Personally I always go for a kitchen diner for the same reasons as Jaimie but also because the sense of space is so much more relaxing to work in as well. Choose a good classic design and colour for the kitchen units so that you can zone the dining area in complimentary colour if you want to....See MoreWould you put an island in this space
Comments (5)I guess the budget answer is as little as we can get away with but am guessing somewhere between £25k and £355k for everything. Does that sound enough? I guess the largest amount of money will be spent on the kitchen. We moved in beginning of December and so far we have replaced all the windows, removed water tank from loft and immersion heater from airing cupboard and have had an unvented system installed (think that is what it is called). We have also had the back end of our double length garage converted to a study/sewing room. Bathrooms are booked in for May, finalising the plans for those in a week. The kitchen is the big one though. Then it will be installation of new gas fire to replace the electric one in the sitting room, new flooring, hopefully new bannister, flooring, carpet, decorating and plantation shutters throughout. Then the garden!...See MoreAlternative floor plans
Comments (8)I was trying to be too economical. So……how about still closing up the door from hall to dining room and move the cloakroom into the hall, maybe under the stairs wherever they are, (Have you seen the spacesaver w.c.’s that have a basin in the top?) then combine kitchen and dining room. if you had floor to ceiling cupboards on the wall against the hall that would give loads of storage. You could add units with worktops where you now have access to the cloakroom, with a wide window above. Outside you could have a lovely veranda with glass roof right across. I want one. You may not have room for a permanent island unit but one with castors (from Ikea) would give extra work surface and could be moved anywhere, i side or out. OR at the very least put a washingmachine with dryer over it in the existing cloakroom and a small corner w.c. with basin over. i can imagine this is stressing you but it’s also an exciting project. Good luck....See MoreNick Corcoran

last monthWe knocked through a very similar space. Some photos below if it helps with visualising the kind of design Jonathan has suggested (OnePlan designed ours). Appreciate my taste isn't everyone's but you can see the space created. First photo taken at 6.15 am, the other two just now - excuse mess we're repainting walls at present.
The wall with the oven on is 4.1m with 0.9m of that occupied by the walk-in larder our joiner created. The depth of the space is 5.6m. I've not included the side extension bit you can see (added by previous owners). So you've got a bit more room to play with.
Good luck with it :)
