Help with floorplan please!
We are hoping to extend our kitchen diner to create a kitchen dining living space BUT having got the plans from our architect, I am worried we can’t get what we need by extending:
- We lose kitchen units/ cupboards and effectively end up with 3 living spaces
- I don’t think we can fit a table in
Attached are the plans from the architect (photo A). I’ve marked our existing kitchen in blue for reference, but it would move to the new extension to be close the utility and get more natural light from skylights.
Photo B is my markup, losing the units (which should house the fridge and seem disconnected from the kitchen) to make more space for a table and pushing back into the utility to gain some extra kitchen space. The utility would then push back into the study and C is a cupboard in the study….
Any suggestions/ feedback would be super helpful.

Kitchen/Dining/Living Floor Plan please
Comments (0)I want to design a whole section of my house. It involves knocking walls etc. but when finished I will be left with a space 20 ft wide x 16.5 ft long leading off a living room & separate corridor to a garden. Room height will be 8ft. Currently there is a window & sliding patio door, but ideally I would like to replace with an entrance (nothing fancy) & glass wall or bi-fold doors. Very rough sketch of the space attached....See MoreFloor plan advice please!
Comments (10)You could create an ensuite by borrowing space from the second bedroom, accessing it from the master. I would create one large luxury family bathroom by joining the current bathroom and the adjoining room into one. If you don't want to lose a room, you could swap the purpose of the two rooms, creating a medium sized bathroom and a small box room/study (expensive for some benefit). Lastly, if you really want to maintain the number of rooms but gain a bigger bathroom, you could move the family bathroom to the bottom, right-hand room, if plumbing allows. Hope this helps....See MoreFloor plan opinions please

Comments (0)We are hoping to purchase this house and I'm planning ahead on the renovation. I've shared a pic of the partial red brick exterior, im trying to decide on the best option and would love some advice. Im thinking of painting / limewashing the red brick. Removing the porch. Going for a neutral colour and then maybe green / greige for the windows and door? The house needs new windows so these will have to be replaced regardless. The bay windows are also huge and I'm wondering if dividing these like the third image would be a good idea? All advice welcome: thank you!...See MoreReb P

3 months agoi would advice to put the study/guest bedroom in the middle, as it far from driveway noise, I placed the utility in front because it faster to reach, if you come home drenched, you get in take off coat and straight to shower

I left two columns in, because i'm no structural engineer. Moved the toilet to create a hallway towards mudroom/utility. The basin in the study is merely as a reminder to get plumbing prepped there, just in case. As water in a playroom would be irresistable, right? But there's plenty space next to the dining table for toys, as they will likely still want to be near you.

When you accept the lounge area as being the one and only, there'd still be lots of extra's added to the house with extending sideways. Here's a study/guest/play with it's own ensuite. Toilet moved over to create a hallway to a utility (3.9x2.5 in this floorplan) where all those little boots and coats could be stored! Oh and i closed off the front reception doorway and added ensuite doors.Reb P
