Kitchens Dining Rooms Renovating

can anyone help with kitchen diner ideas please?

3 years ago

We are hoping to knock down three smaller rooms and add extensions and end up with a footprint like this. Really keen to have as much window/glass as possible. At the longest the room is 750cm, width is 580cm. Have seen symmetrical island/ table look I like but can’t work out where to put kitchen units if we are keeping glass. I have played around with app and put windows on three extension walls.

The existing walls (including the annoying one jutting out from rear wall need to stay....)

You really need to sketch out a floorplan first with all measurements/windows doors marked on.

In the pics above you have some space at end of Island/table, nearly 2m in length? That's a lot of wasted space, do you plan anything in that area eg armchairs? Not really long enough for sofas. Is there any reason you need glass at sides as well. 5m of glass on your end will bring in loads of light.....and it would free up walls for more useable space.

You need to factor in the annoying jutting wall into the plans to make it work - ie maybe create a walk in pantry here or utilise that fit a FF to stand by its etc etc ... you also need to work out a balance between windows and required wall space ... a concept planner ( like us) could be useful if you aren’t used to planning things like this - as this is what we do, day in day out !

To begin designing a kitchen you draw the entire space to scale on a computer or on paper. Then place your appliances sink table chairs etc on the floor plan. You do this to understand if your ideas can even work the way you envision them. I would recommend using a kitchen designer. Working by yourselves, the kitchen design would be limited by your experience and abilities, and starting the process in the wrong order does not bode well. After the kitchen is designed then have several contractors come to give you bids and their input. This will save their time and make the bids lower and more accurate. After you have potential floor plans and have thought things through, this is when advice from Houzzers can be helpful. When the job is not completely thought out advice on Houzz can be dangerous. You will be encouraged to make decisions also not thought out and coments will seem valid no matter who is making them.

I am afraid blur will be limiting. I like the idea of gray, then in bring in the blue with accents. I would remove the lone cabinet on the left. Is it possible for you to build a pantry? A place to store the freezer is my goal with that. Where is your refrigerator? Just trying to get the lay of the land. A pantry would not be any deeper than the cabinet already there and with a sliding door you free up lots of space. Build it the width you need to fit the freezer and then about a 12 -18inch wide shelf space for boxed items, cereal etc. Leave enough room to fit your refrigerator next to it...about 30 -32 inches is needed. It looks like you have nearly 7 feet to play with. I know this pic is a washer/dryer, but just to give you the feel.

Hi S, mirrors are effective when they are reflecting something visually interesting, like the view from an opposite window to the outdoors, or when used to create the illusion of additional space. The mirror in this picture does neither of those things. With the TV removed from the corner, there is more room for the window treatments to fill the corner properly (right now they look a bit squished), and it would be fine to leave it bare, or put a low accessory item in the corner, like a sculpture or a potted tree (not too tall!). As for the rug and table, there are 3 ways you can go: since the striped wallpaper and the floors are so neutral already, you can afford to add some color into the room with the rug. With a colorful or patterned rug, a clear glass table top would be good, because it allows you to see the rug. In that instance, the rug becomes the focal point of your furniture group. If you want to keep the rug very neutral too, then a solid table top is good (in an interesting material- maybe wood or stone). In that case, the table becomes the focal point of your furniture group. Lastly, if you want a neutral rug and a transparent table top, I would be sure to add some color or pattern to your seating- either the sofas themselves or throw pillows on the sofas, to inject some energy and keep the whole room from feeling too bland.

Good Morning Anna,

What spectacular space this will be, how exciting!

First of all we need to know more before making recommendations. Recommendations and designs may include the following advice:

- utilising tall cabinets or a pantry space ensuring enough storage. Thereafter the rest of the kitchen can be designed to ensure enough workspace and the right feel.

- some window seats could provide the continuation of the kitchen up to and under the windows

Through working with an expert you will find that we create the brief with you providing ideas of features which will suit your lifestyle.

If you would like us to create a floor plan for you we offer this service remotely. The first step is to get in touch to discuss what we can do for your budget - either private message or phone call is great.

Thank you for sharing, this is a really fun project.

Kind regards,

Sophie Ellen

I agree with One Plan about using the jutting out section for a panty or tall units. If this room is all about the glass, currently everyone at the table and whilst cooking is looking at the side walls and not into the garden, you've got a great width to play with if the main flow through the doorways work, how about twisting your plan 90° and having the table by the big window and then chef can also have a view outside?

If you want to bounce some ideas around for free, just get in touch but good luck, looks like a great space!

Hello Anna

I agree with the previous comments.
I think that the dining table is kind of a challenge. It would help if you make a seating area at the island like the one in the picture. I think it would become easier to work on the rest of the space.
and I also recommend putting the focus on the wall between the windows in order to make the most out of the light and the view coming from the windows.

Good luck,
Lea
