Hi

My initial thought would be to knock out the wall between the Dining Room and the Kitchen.

I would then run a bank of base units under the window (Bin, sink, dishwasher ETC) with a parallel island (Venting Hob, Drawers, Pull Outs)

You then have space on the bottom wall (opposite the stairs) to run your tall units such as oven stack, fridge, freezer ETC.

You could take this one step further and block up the door between the Kitchen and Hallway which will give you a large run of tall units, you could also fit a big pantry unit in there too.

Hi,

thank you so much for responding. We would definitely be knocking the wall through to open up the space.

I can see your suggestions working really well. Thanks again for your input, its really appreciated. I can visualise it now and i love the idea of an island too.

Hello Emma, I have to say I really like the cluster shade light! It's gr8.. You can do very little here and make a difference.. Move the table out a bit into the room.. So it's under the light.. Leave the table very bare.. I'd possibly look for a picture that accented the colours of the shade... Warm beige, browns, creams... Also at the other end of the room, why not have another... It's a really interesting light.. It would work with the sofa as well. You could move the dresser along a bit so it's nearer the dining end.. Bring the arm chair a little closer in to the living area and possible bring the sofa forward a bit.. You could have a nice rug and a coffee table here. I would get some cushions that accent the shades and definitely consider duplicating that in the living half of the room... I found a blue version so you could place the blue canvas in the living area, have some blue and brown cushions to accent the blue and brown shades.. You could also introduce a couple of lamps with similar shades.. I have included a glass base purposefully as the shade is the accent here.. to compliment the pendant (s) :))

An L shaped design sounds fine to me and I think it's practicality will outweigh concerns about it dominating. I agree a soft white is nicer in an older property and a more modern look than gloss but I don't agree that a painted finish is better with young ones as it can chip- I would look for a laminate door which despite being perceived to be lower quality will likely stand up to rough treatment

I’m struggling to find a way to have a kitchen/island (really would like an island to have useable counterspace), generous dining table (seating for at least 6 people) and a sitting area in the same room if we don’t open up the wall between the current front and back living rooms. Would it make more sense to have part of the garage incorporated into the kitchen? There is a slight difference in floor level though between the garage and kitchen (Step down into the garage). Or block up the current kitchen door and have the access to a dining/kitchen through the current back living room space and then somehow fit in a dining table and seating area?

I think on our drawing the island is much too big. We had the idea of integrated dining at the end of the island but I think that is going to be too limiting so would like a separate dining table and thinner island. I agree with the other comments who said anything much more than 1.2 deep is wasted space! I love the idea of the kitchen on the angled wall and the little seating area on the nook bit between the steel nib and the doors. Yes this is the only access to the garden. The utility and loo will be behind a pocket door so contain noise etc away from the dining area and I like the dining by the fireplace. I'm going to get a few kitchen people in but wanted to be armed with some ideas and options and everyone's been so helpful!

No problem at all, if you want me to mock up a design for you I would be happy to. Whereabouts are you based?

If you don’t need all the garage for storage, consider getting a joiner to put up a stud wall with a through door, and taking the back half for the utility room and leaving the front half as garage/storage. This way, you could knock through into your existing utility room to create a lovely huge space across the back of the house. Which way does the back garden face? If north or east, I would consider glass doors rather than a solid wall in between the lounge and kitchen- diner. Good luck!

By all means ignore these ramblings…. wall between kitchen/dining room-gone; patio door in dining room-gone; erect a wall between dining room/living room… then the kitchen etc is installed in what is currently the dining room, the door into the current kitchen becomes a ‘door and a half’ with clear glazing, french doors installed where you currently have the kitchen sink again clear-glazed… so on entering the house and looking down the hallway from the front door you see clear-glazed ‘door and a half’ through to clear-glazed french doors through to your garden… so a larger room but swap over dining and working areas and bring your garden into the home….
