Kitchen/Dining/Living Extension Layout Advice

last modified: 3 years ago

Hi there,I wondered if anyone can give us some advice regarding a proposed change to our kitchen/Dining layout?We moved into a victorian property last year, our kitchen, dining and bathroom are off the back of the house in what we guess were at one point outbuildings, previous owners seem to have converted one at a time, finally reaching as far as they can go.We would like to open it all up into one room, we've thought of various options including the one attached where we move the bathroom closer to the house, knock down the conservatory and extend further to house a utility. This all sounds great but by moving the bathroom closer to the main house we will be creating a corridor. For some reason this just isn't sitting right with us.We're now questioning the layout and thinking we should just leave as is but knock through dining/kitchen, leave bathroom where it is and maybe just upgrade conservatory or replace with a utility in its place.Can anyone see an alternative layout that we haven't thought about?Many Thanks for any advice given.

Downstairs extension layout

I like the idea with the pink highlighted edge. This opens u the kitchen dining space but keeps the lounge and study separate as you wanted. I would add bifold doors if possible along the back wall of the dining room to make it feel even bigger. Hope this helps

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!

Kitchen layout advice. Can we fit an island
Q

Hi all. We are converting our garage and putting on a rear extension. The extension is not in the attached plan. We need need ideas for kitchen layout. I'd love an island but not sure if it would fit. The garage measures 15ft8" by 8ft3" without insulation. We also have a large American fridge freezer (27.5in deep, 33in wide) to accommodate and I want a good sized larder press. Had been looking at a corner one by the window at the front but would this leave the window too small?

Guess it also depends on the state they're all in. And if the sewage can be moved.

By looking at your ambitious plan I'd say tearing it down and starting over might be more cost (time!) effective.
