Square (ish) rear extension - kitchen/living room ideas

3 years ago

We're planning on doing a wrap-around extension to the rear of our 2 bedroom ground floor Victorian flat. The bedrooms will move into the front two reception rooms and we'll have a 5.5 x 5m space for our living room, kitchen and dining.

We've been trying lots of ideas for how we might fit in a kitchen with living room, but none of them are working as well as we'd like, so I'd love to see some other options.

Ideally we'd like the kitchen and dining table to be nearer the garden, but the place the kitchen seems to work best is in the rear corner, with the sofa closest to the garden.

We're happy to consider either wide bi-fold doors, or smaller bi-folds with a picture window to one side.

The yellow areas are where the celing will be higher because of the wraparound extension. The ceiling will be fairly low in the other areas.

Very grateful for any inspiring ideas!

How low is the ‘fairly low’ ceiling, does it prevent for Eg wall kitchen cupboards or a fridge from going there? And do you need to fit in washing machine too? :)

Just a quick suggestion, if the plumbing works place the WC under the staircase. And place the door so it does not open towards the living or kitchen areas. Please also post some photos of the house as it looks from the outside.

I think this is a really nice kitchen - you've done a nice job. The only thing that is throwing it off are the two different floors in dining and kitchen area. I'd like to see the same flooring continued through both areas. I think you'll be very pleased with the difference it makes. Since you do not like the wood or the tile, perhaps a porcelain 12x24 tile would work for you. It's very durable, so you wouldn't have to worry about the Newfies scratching it and very easy to maintain. You'd could opt for one of the wood grains on the market or one made to simulate stone. I think a greyish color would work well.

Thanks Jonathandb1972. That looks like a lovely layout I really like the open plan but our driveway around the house will come from the left side so that's why we had thought of addiing the extension to the right. I'm sure we could use your idea on the right side and it would still throw in plenty of light. Regarding the rooms: the long room to the right is the current kitchen which is currently very dark and cold, the small room behind this is the utility, the two rooms to the left of this are a front living room and back lounge. The rooms left of this are 4 bedrooms a bathroom, hotpress and outside toilet. Thanks again for all your suggestions.

A few things I would change from experience...instead of a single and double door I would spend the extra money and put in a bifold corner section...would open up the space so much more. as for the kitchen...completely flip your design...put your breakfast bar closer to the window...make it large and multipurpose with the hob in it and then put your main band of cabinets either left, right or behind? We have recently restructured our existing cabinets to this layout and put in new countertops and it works far better than before!
