Room layout - help needed!
Hi, we’ve just moved into our new home. This room is going to be a dining room/playroom. I need help with the layout!

6 years agoA nice big Kallax against the wall with interior door. Small play table under the narrow window. Kitchen and such in the left alcove. A soothing sage on the walls. Probably change the carpet too, but for now it'll do. Leave some open floorspace near the garden doors for playing.

Need help with furniture layout & colours to cosy up this space
Comments (2)If you have space, another couch of a complimentary colour to your couch with its back facing the dining room (or an occasional chair there on an angle) would be good. A large rug to tie together the seating and a coloured wall where the existing couch is (be it paint or wall paper or a large artwork) would help make it cosy....See MoreNeed help for layout of new extension
Comments (1)If I'm being honest, I'm really not sure on this layout. You have services on both sides of the extension, which even with my limited knowledge of building is expense that you could avoid. Do you need a laundry and a utility, or could you combine them.? Also I hate the idea of a toilet off the kitchen. The garage also looks small. Could you take out the door on the garage and make that the bathroom off your corridor, and make the corridor your utility. Then you have all the space free where the new bathroom and utility are. If you want more space for the utility and bathroom I would suggest bringing that wall in (make kitchen and dining narrower) and that would have the advantage of making your study wider. One other point is that leaving the study there with a window to the side will make the kitchen very dark....See MoreI really need help with kitchen layout, all advice welcome!
Comments (4)So I think we have decided to stick with the layout that we have and just block up the double doors. I hope it and it will be nice because I have lost a lot of sleep worrying about it. Thanks for letting me post here....See Moreliving room layout - help
Comments (0)Hi there I’m building a new house and need to buy furniture as we are about 12-16 weeks out now. I have struggled with furniture layout as had originally been thinking of a corner couch in the middle or the roof so fire and tv would be visible when you sat down, but I drew it on floor in chalk and all it did was create a walkway around the couch with no real space for anything else - eg additional chair at the back end of the room etc. Felt to me like a waste of space and no function. I seem to have a lot of window and not so much wall to work with and as the ceiling is vaulted at the end where I have the fireplace seems to me would be odd not to orientate the furniture towards that view! I’ve drawn an alternative option in a programme I found online which I set out below with some pictures. The ceiling is vaulted to about 4.5 metres or so at the wall where the plant is in the picture below. Inset fire on that wall and tv on wall opposite over a sideboard. Any suggestions / improvements would be greatly appreciated- many thanks I’m advance!...See More
PRO6 years agoHi Charlotte,
It depends on how you use the space currently or how your envisage using it. It looks like there is quite a bit of space in front of the bay window, so I would move the dining table a bit closer to the window.
In terms of the play area it looks like your children congregate on the opposite side of the room? If so I would make this space theirs by adding this simple storage by IKEA where you toys can be stored easily in baskets. I would measure up to see if you can add a second one on top or on the adjoining wall with the radiator.

There are different colours and textures the above is just to give you an idea. In terms of the rest of the look and feel I would avoid decorating the whole room with bright colours etc. You can of course make it work so that you can have accents in the accessories which co-incide with the children's toys. e.g. brightly coloured vase.
Hope this helpsThanks
