Do you think this kitchen plan is suitable?
I'm starting my house plan, and I found this picture and love it!
The house will have arount 350 sqm and I am wondering about to do an open kitchen 8mt x 5 mt with an island and a dinning table in it.
This would be my main dinning table too.
I am not sure if is it too long, and if it will be ok to have the main table in the kitchen.
What do you think?

What would you do with this kitchen? Help!
Comments (16)You need some kitchen accessories kettle etc that tie in with the red and also some artwork. The red you have chosen looks on my monitor to be a cool red, perhaps a bit of a warmer shade would help. i would also extend the dining area curtains down to the floor, they will cosy up the space, as would a statement rug to give a bit more life to the room. If your living room is green then it may be nice to have some token green of the same shade, somewhere in the kitchen, a plant or some artwork, and add a bit of the kitchen red to your living room, so that there is some continuity of colour in your home, as opposed to having two separate colour boxes and never the twain shall meet.....See MoreOpen Plan Kitchen/Living Room
Comments (5)Thanks for your comments. I think we've decided on wooden flooring throughout the open plan space but it's just what we do in living area. We had wanted carpet to get that warm cosy affect. We are considering under floor heating but I understand that can be expensive. I know we can put a rug down although I'm not sure whether that will have the desired warm and cosy feel. The other option is to fit carpet in a rectangle or circle shape in the living area. Just not sure how that's going to look and how best to join it to the wood so that it looks good. I've not seen open areas with carpet and tiles/wooden flooring...it seems that usually flooring is the same throughout with a rug in the living area. Any suggestions? I attach a plan which shows what it will hopefully look like. The dining table will go near to the patio doors. The sofa will be in an L shape with the back to the kitchen on one side and the other back to the dining area on the other side. Any flooring ideas would be appreciated!...See MoreLooking for some suitable colours for this kitchen
Comments (7)This is a very small and dark kitchen I would defo change the colour of the units to an antique cream and the worktop a darker colour maybe walnut and paint those double doors and the window sill white to match the other wood work also get a smaller round table it would give you more floor space the chairs you have would still work and maybe add some splashes of acidy colours lime green/orange or yellows not too much just a few touches. also Jacksplash is correct about the blind if you are keeping a blind go for a straight edge one. if your budget allows I would also change the sink to a white sink it really reflex light from the window and brightens the room I did something the same with my own sink it doesn't have to be a Belfast sink you can get the same sink as you already have in white ceramic....See MorePaint colour advice for semi open plan kitchen/living area
Comments (4)Hi I notice your blind and lamp are Laura Ashley Pelham. Laura Ashley does a duck egg white, pale duck egg and duck egg paint colours. Maybe you could have the duck egg white as the predominant colour and use in both rooms but also use the pale duck egg or duck egg in the lounge, or add some wallpaper. Not sure grey walls would work with the kitchen units. Perhaps more of a taupe/warm grey would work in both spaces though....See MoreMaribel Fernandez

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoThank you Paul!! I'm wainting for my architetect feedback.
I was thinking that the table could seem to be attached to the island [like the photo] but we can move it freely when we want.
The island should be wider and bit shorter [because we won't have sink there] for food prep. as you say.
The last two chairs in the island, I think it will be better to replace for two or stools and leave that place for breakfast.
I'm looking the extractors that you press a botton and come up, they are hidden most of the time. I like that. Do you think Bora are better than drowndraft extractors?
How many metters has the Chorleywood project? Love it!
Thank you again!!

We have done many a project where the table butts up to the island to create a larger island, but still offer that flexibility when you want to entertain a larger gathering.
Thank you for the kind words about our 'Chorleywood' project. This was a particularly large space over 10 metres in width. We had a good 3 metre gap between the island and the dining area.
I know the exact extractor your talking about 'Downdraft' that comes up out of the island. These have been around for years now and in all honesty i'm finding more and more people opting for something different. When they are fully up, it creates a barrier between you and your guests and depending on the hob set up, the extractor struggles to pull the front rings steam/grease over the back ring. The downdraft works best with a panoramic hob. The Bora 'Pure' & 'X' on the other hand offers the extractor in the centre of the hob, so you have the same pull of air on all 4 rings. They also do a 'Professional' range for different configurations to suit your exact needs.Maribel Fernandez
3 years agoWell finally we made this render, the table can be separated to the island (it is cut) un order to sit 12 people. What do you think?
Sizes are 8mts x 5,20
