Help With Layout

last modified: 3 years ago

We are purchasing a victorian semi and are planning to add a side return extension to create a large kitchen diner(relocating the kitchen into the extended room). How could we add a utility room and office space as one of us will be WFH?also a downstairs WC as one from lounge area will be removed.

The three blue squares represent roof lights.

Any ideas much appreciated .

this is the L shaped lounge 3.8 x 6.24 (12'5" x 20'5")

Hello. I would need to see this in more detail to plan the space properly. But I would look at something like this (see below). I think it would be worth looking at a space planner or someone who can help you get the most from your space. There are a fair few possibilitiesy

ies for this.

Hi Samuel,

if the kitchen is moving into the new, large front room, why not simply divide the existing kitchen in half. My preference would be to create a new door from the hallway and have the office on the window/sink side as it might be brighter and then that leaves the back door in the utility for muddy people/outside laundry.

good luck

Thanks for the suggestion, we hadn’t considered dividing it down the middle and adding a new doorway

Two ideas. Both times I would block up the entrance to the second half of the room to make more usuable space. Both ideas have a island with a dining table attached. Obviously these drawings are not to scale but everything should fit in. I would utilise the kitchen cuboards for utilities- intergrated appliances. If you can dont forget to use the space under your stairs as well. Also use the long wall at the bottom of the stairs for extra storage and alcoves.

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.

Here's what I'd do.....

I'd use the dining room as a study/formal dining.

Have fun ! :)

Like the idea of moving the doorway for the utility, and adding wc in the other half of the kitchen space

Thanks for the advice, really like the way you have divided up the kitchen, probably going to follow your suggestion and get someone to help plan the space out properly. Try and get it done at the same time as the extension budget allowing.

Well feel free to drop me an email to gina.everett@createperfect.co.uk and I can send you some pricing. It's good to get a few quotes as every designer does things slightly differently. Best of luck.

Key elements for an office might be daylight /window with a view ? And for a laundry it’s always good to have as direct a route from the stairs as possible ... so I’d suggest a concept where both of those boxes are ticked as well as providing a fab space for eating, living and cooking etc ... there’s always lots of possibilities! Just a case of finding the right one for you !
