Floorplan dilema
Hi,
I am struggling with my architect floorplan proposal. I would like to get rid of the big sliding doors and have smaller doors facing the garden, potentially even keeping windows on the left side room to increase workspace. Also, I believe the space is already big enough for a kitchen dinner and don't feel there is need to extend further the room ( see yellow highlight). I would welcome some thoughts on how we can make this area work better. Is the position of the skylight in the right place? We need an open plan kitchen with a conversation area - but we are not looking to use the room as a living room.
Many thanks
Erika

Yes, the kitchen sits in the front of the house and we are moving to the back. We are currently rearranging the downstairs space. I have attached the original plan. I would welcome your thoughts. Many thanks.

Comments (4)What advice are you looking for? Seems like you know what you want to do. My only piece of advice is to make sure that the walls you are intending to remove are not load bearing or if they are that you know how to properly handle the structural loads.. If you aren't sure then contact a local structural engineer to help you out. Can you post the whole floor plan so we can see how the new space interacts with the entire floor....See Moreloft room wardrobe design dilema

Comments (4)It's tricky to say without a plan, but some things to consider: - An eat in kitchen makes a great family space and will increase the resale appeal of the property - A clever kitchen designer will be able to work in a solution for boot and coat storage (again this is tricky without a plan). Perhaps a small boot cupboard/shelf just outside so you take your boots off before coming into the house. - A long narrow room can feel cramped but having a run of kitchen units on one side only will help open up the space. - Consider open shelving instead of top wall units - Clearly defined spaces can also break up a longer area, for instance using different flooring. - Think about the wall colour and keep it light and airy to maximise visual space. Hope that gives you some food for thought!...See MoreRoof Tiles Colour, Window Colour, and Layout Dilemas
Comments (7)Thank you all for helping as we were very stuck. So it seems that the Marley Dark Brown (4th from the left on the 1st picture) will work. It looks grey but according to the builder it is called brown🤷🏾♀️. We had thought the red old english marley 3rd from the left. Should I then have the sliding doors at the back of the house in white too? What colour front door? The back of the house will be rendered as will half of the front (first floor)? Thinking white render....See More- last year
