Changing the layout of my house...

Hi everyone. This is my current floor plan. Things I would love to achieve are:
- Larger open plan kitchen diner. Make use of the south facing sunshine at the rear of the house, possibly with a small glass extension onto the patio.
- Create a utility room (perhaps out of the downstairs toilet?) with a back door where the window is?
- The largest bedroom is not ensuite - could this be changed?
- Downstairs it feels like there are too many long and thin rooms. What could I change?
- I would like to have a snug area and an area for drinks and hosting
Thank you so much for helping in advance!

Changing the layout of my house...
Comments (13)Hello Max, I've finally finished looking at the floorplan and will now try and explain my changes! Basically if this was my house, I think the first thing I'd do would be to extend out the back to make a rectangle. This gives you a lot more space and also makes the flow much better. I don't think you would have difficulty getting planning for this as it should come under the 'permitted development' category. I have moved Bed 3 to the front of the house, and the living dining kitchen are at the back. I have also moved the bathroom to where the kitchen was. I have tried to create a seamless and open plan feel in the whole space. I hope these help, and even if you can't do the extension then it should give you an idea of what to do. Happy Renovating :-)...See MoreLayout help please?
Comments (2)This is a great sized space and personally I think you should be enlisting a great kitchen designer. If it were mine I would want more working space in the kitchen than on your plan, I would have easier access to the utility room so that when entertaining you can store things out of sight (I would probably have an extra dishwasher in there). Personally I think island seating opposite the hob has safety implications so should be planned to one side. Since you have room when entering the space I would have both a drinks area on one side and on the other either a Butlers Pantry or a breakfast area. Whatever you decide very best of luck...See MoreKitchen floor ideas?
Comments (1)Im in process of changing the layout of my house. It will result in a large open plan lounge Kitchen dinning room about 35x25ft. It will have glass all the way down two walls. Im going to have a 15ft run of tall kitchen cabinets with true handless walnut doors (pic below) and Matt black rails. The island is about 10ft long and will be Matt black doors and rails. This has all been ordered and cant be changed. Island Worktops and flooring need to be picked. What colour floor and island worktop would you go with? Im looking for a very modern look....See MoreChange of floor plan need help
Comments (7)Hello sarahmccann72, I think that a toilet where you propose would be really problematic, for two reasons. One is obviously how to vent it, especially since its on the ground floor. And even if you were to somehow be able to vent it, the particular positioning is just off, and you would really end up sending much more on plumbing. What do you think about adjusting the utility area to hive off a guest's bath? That would solve both of these problems actually. Check me out Here for some help....See MoreJames Lawrence

13 days agoSome ideas:
Assuming the darker grey walls are loadbearing, i kept as much of them as possible. The dotted lines show where rsj go. Removed half the fireplace wall to create a large lounge, part of the chimney remains to hold a pipe for box stove. New staircase and somewhat new bedroom layouts, though not many walls had to be moved. Landing cupboard for washer/dryer, though hanging in the storage/linen is an option. Added a shower to the downstairs wc, so the snug could double up as bedroom. Hope it may inspire you!
