Layout Dilemma - Please help
Comments (25)Zombie post but there's still life in the old dog! : ) We are close to starting work in the summer and are still (!) finalising the layout. We have concluded on some variation of the attached. I agreed with the recent comments about the ensuites and the size of the kitchen and changed it a while back. We might increase the kitchen size further but think it is at it's absolute minimum now. Am dwelling on putting a WC/washroom in the groundfloor space next to the stairs and front lounge, as the area isn't really serving a purpose (hmm, though the access to the main living room is nice). Would have preferred to have a better downstairs hallway (connecting all the individual downstairs elements) but space restricts. Any further comments welcome. p.s. excuse the quality of the drawings, they are just real rough sketches!...See MoreHelp needed! Layout dilemma for kitchen diner / space planning
Comments (16)I completely agree with OnePlan. Take your time. Don't settle for less (unless your budget really doesn't allow..). I sell and design kitchens and my boss pays me per hour, not commission. And everyone gets the same lowest possible price. People can come back time and time again, until their kitchen fits their needs perfectly. I hear plenty of stories on people being pushed into a signature or lured in with discounts. Or salesmen without any technical insight/background. Or designers not really listening to someone's needs/wants. It saddens me. A kitchen is not a car you can trade in after a year or so. Always look for something you can live with for 10 years plus (and longer). Your workspace would ideally be 80cm (minimum), that means the area inbetween sink and hob. Every other bit of surface can be used to place other items, make a drink, etc. When you regularly work with two people you could downsize the tall cabinet left of the ovens to a 30cm pullout larder, so a 90cm drawer cabinet could go next to it (for example)....See MoreHelp please!

Comments (3)How wide is the wall to the right as you come in? Would you have space for a chest either side of the bed there? And you might have room at end of the bed for a small chest. That would allow you to build in straight across the wall with the chimney breast. I have seen and done myself with a shallow press or drawers in front of the chimney. You could also hide a TV in there. Hard to imagine the window(s) but have you considered putting the bed on that wall?...See Morehelp! layout dilemma for new build kitchen/living space
Comments (4)I prefer the 2nd layout with the utility in the corner. I like the way that creates space for the kitchen to be set back from the living space. In layout 1, the utility is too long & narrow, and everything in the kitchen is on full view - although the pantry is a better size. I think I’d possibly make the pantry in layout 2 slightly narrower but go back the full depth of the utility with it. That way you avoid the odd L shape of the utility and with a slightly narrower pantry, you might be able to fit units on each side of the utility, or have space for an airer / wall mounted airer for laundry / plug in station for hoover charging, etc....See More- 8 months agolast modified: 8 months ago
