Design Dilemma Dining Rooms Kitchens

Thoughts and Ideas Wanted - Kitchen/Dining Space

4 years ago

Hi Everyone - ideas and thoughts wanted!

We are in the process of buying a house which has the layout below (4m x 3.1m). I should say that the door which looks like it goes into the lounge diner is actually the other side of the wall and goes from the hall to the kitchen. There is actually a radiator in the kitchen on the wall where the door is currently shown. The sink is on the wall next to the back door, the cooker is on the right hand wall and the fridge is undercounter on the left wall.

The space is large but it doesn't really flow, my main thought is that the wall between the lounge/diner needs to go and become an open space with a stud wall going up to separate the lounge from the kitchen/diner but I wanted to see what other thoughts people may have as to what we could do. We also want to add a utility space which will probably need to be in the family room.

So all ideas/thoughts welcomed.......

Knock the wall down between the kitchen and the family room. Door way entry from the Hall looks like a better lay out.

Hi Indi,

I would knock out both walls and have the kitchen, diner and family room all open plan. The lounge would stay separate. I would also add long bi-fold doors and glazing all along the back wall. At the minute it seems like you have through the hallway, then the kitchen to get to the family room? I think that's why the flow is not right.

I would definitely go for a larger kitchen therefore a swap. Also if structure allows to remove this little bit of unnecessary wall by current kitchen entrance would make the space more open.( I think in the other plan I see it is happening?) the outside door swap for a window is a very good idea in my mind.

Hi there, Have you had any luck with layout ideas? I might go for a round table in one of the corners as they tend to work well in smaller spaces and can fit four chairs round them easily!

Hi All, I've recently purchased a new home and am trying to work out best way to maximise space in the kitchen/dining/living area. The image shows room size/shape. Kitchen layout in left section is flexible. More than likely L shaped along outside wall and across window. Would like the larger area to the right to become a dining / living space if possible, as the room is quiet bright. What style layout would suit this? Is it too much for this space? Only two of us in the house but want it suitable for entertaining family and friends. All thoughts and suggestions welcome. Many thanks M
