Kitchen/Diner layout help!!!
After purchasing my first home, I need some advice in terms of kitchen/diner layouts! The room is 5.3mx4.8m and I’m really struggling. I would ideally like a wall of cabinets, an island with bar stools and a dining table (4/6 seats). But I’m starting to think maybe it would be better to have an island with a dining table coming out of it? Or even an island with built in dining table like shown on pics. Any advice is welcomed!!!

Comments (4)Hi minnie101, Thanks so much for your detailed reply. Great to know what colour that grey is. It may be a little dark with our floor. We will definitely update the handles - I hate the current ones. We'll probably go with wood to keep within budget. Your non-tiles pic is lovely. We'll probably keep some tiles and try to keep the kitchen a little more modern than country kitchen, which might be a challenge with wood. The room faces south. I like your idea of dividing it with paint. We probably will go with white in the kitchen and then 1/2 slightly darker tones in the tv-couch area. The 'other' entrance into the dining area is narrowed by a non-structural wall, so we should remove this to open it properly or like you say, close it off. Maybe not close it off entirely as we'd lose a lot of light, but maybe put in a counter or breakfast bar if space allowed. I love your pendant light suggestions over the dining table. Details like this and a rug in the couch area will really help divide the room as at the moment it is one big cavernous space. I really can't decide yet what way the couches should face - into a tv in the corner, or out into the room like you suggest. We'll have to draw out some chalk outlines on the floor and see how much space there actually is. Colour-wise we like the idea of keeping walls and cabinets quite stark, the wood counter will add a bit of warmth, and then adding colour with couches, rugs and possibly dining chairs. I've attached a couple of pieces of furniture I like. Some may not work, but we'll figure it out....See MoreNarrow Kitchen/Diner/Family Room
Comments (3)Not quite for the kitchen. Sorry, I should have drawn it...the units set on the bottom ŵall are correct but just in a straight line..The other part of the L shape is on ŵall B on your plan. The dining table would be in front of the units on the bottom ŵall. If unclear (quite possibly from my description!) I'll post a pic tomorrow...See MoreI really need help with kitchen layout, all advice welcome!
Comments (4)So I think we have decided to stick with the layout that we have and just block up the double doors. I hope it and it will be nice because I have lost a lot of sleep worrying about it. Thanks for letting me post here....See Morekitchen diner reconfiguration help please!
Comments (0)Hi, I want to change the layout of the kitchen. It’s currently at front of house & I want it to be more in the middle of room for more privacy and to make a bigger seating/ snug area at the very front. Ideally I’d like to keep the dining table at the back but open to ideas. Perhaps L shaped? Sink facing dining table & back garden? Perhaps a partition? I cannot think of any alternatives. Help Please!...See More- 5 years ago
Your inspirational kitchens are lovely, but an island with stools and a dining table simply won't fit in your house, see left floorplan. The one with the settee is cute, that could work, haven't made an example of that one though.
I did a C-layout, but really think it's still too big for the house. So I also did a complete relocation, removed dividing wall, straightforward L-kitchen, spacious lounge with views into the back.

Yet without island there would be tons more space for big parties, as your lounge won't fit that much people.
