living room/dining room/office layout
Hello,
I am in need of some ideas or advice for the downstairs of my house... all the ground floor area is open, apart from the kitchen. an extension, which is not original to the house has been added to the back but it seems to have unbalanced all the layout: the living area is long and narrow, like a train carriage.
I therefore find it difficult to arrange the layout. at the moment, the sofa/tv area is in the middle section but I find it too small and we don't enjoy the fire place. my plan is to swap the dining and living room area and have an office in the extension, along the walls (see photos and map). what do you think? any layout advice for this tricky room? thanks!

Comments (0)We recently put on an extension to our kitchen and although I'm not so much having trouble picking colours for the walls there, I do however find it difficult to match up the dining and living all of which are open plan .. the sofas in the living area are removable covers, one set taupe and the other set white, no problem there but my curtins were expensive and I'm reluctant to change them at the moment so really want something to tie everything together ..they are autumnal in colour ...I'd appreciate some advice on paint colours for the walls they dont have to be the same but would have to tone well together ..Thank you...See MoreKitchen/Living/Dining/Plant Room Design and Layout

Comments (0)Hi so I’m knew you this app so I’m not sure how it works so I’m just putting this out there for advice. I recently purchased my first home and I can’t visualize what to do with the sitting room in regards seating with the wall the way it is. just looking for suggestions or ideas to help get started. Thank you...See More

4 years agoI think your plan is good. I assume your home is a Victorian or 30s terrace as they do tend to be long and skinny, with a middle room that used to be used as a dining room in the old days. I think swopping the table to the end extension room and creating a cosy sitting room at the front of the house where the walls are red would flow better. Then you can have your office space in the middle.
If the budget allows, I think knocking the wall between the kitchen and the office/dining area would widen out the room and make it less corridor like. Just a thought. I would also paint the walls throughout in one colour. Something brighter and cheerful such as an off white or pale green. The room will look bigger in a paler colour. I also think a rectangular table, if budget allows, can take up less room than a circular one and give better flow.
Last weeks George Clark’s programme (C4) featured a very similar house to yours with the three rooms in a row, so may be worth catching up on to give you ideas. Here’s a few pics to inspire. 😊

4 years agoHi Lisa, I imagined the Office was of occasional use, but if it’s every day then it would be great to have good light and a view outside. One of my favourite greens is Farrow & Ball Cromarty, a lovely pale sage green and I’ve got it in my living room! Here’s Cromarty.
