Layout of open plan kitchen, living, dining, bar...?
Hi all, just looking for some layout ideas for a big open plan space (approx 10m x 6m). I need to fit in a kitchen, living area, dining area (with table for 8) and a small home bar. I like the idea (but am not married to it) of a slightly sunken living area so have used that concept in the two plans I have come up with.
Here is the space:
Here is the first plan I've come up with:
And the second...
I thought I'd come up with more than this but I'm drawing a blank!
Any other ideas welcome!
Cheers
Will

Comments (11)I agree with everything said so far. Would suggest you get built in book shelvers on both sides of fireplace, lift tv into a slot it fits perfectly into (make sure you have power on both sides). Then it will disappear more rather than fight with fireplace as focal point. I am always disappointed with mirrors over fireplaces, they become dark, are to high to reflect much. Plus then you have three rectangles fighting for center stage. I'd say very colorful artwork instead. Wonder if you can reorient tv where the big chairs are so both tv and fireplace are addressed? Color, maybe you should decide on furniture first?...See Morewooden floor or tiles or half and half in an open plan living area
Comments (5)Hi Gilluan I think either could work but it depends on the layout of your new room. if there is a distinct divide between the two spaces then you can separate the floor coverings. It certainly makes the living area feel warmer and more cosy if you have wooden flooring in that space. Equally a tiled floor is far more practical in a kitchen. I hope that helps, it's difficult to offer any more advice without seeing your plans or a photograph. Good luck!...See MoreOpen Plan Kitchen \ Living Design Advice
Comments (0)Hi, We're looking for some design options for a house we are planning to buy. We love the house location but the kitchen \ living area is proving to be a bit of a dilemma. There is a lot of glass in the kitchen area with full length windows to the front and rear which limits the options for layouts. We had a kitchen design prepared but are unsure if this really makes the best use of the space - it includes a corner dining area which while using the space feels a bit cramped for a family of 5. Due to the door position into the kitchen the builders design looks odd as they have placed the kitchen table right in line of sight of the front door so placing the table there seems a no no. We want to have an island in the kitchen ( its plumbed etc for one ) which we can have up to 5 high seats around which is in the design. We would like to have a TV in the room ( again limited places to put one on the walls due to the glass ) and would like some suggestions on layouts there also ( maybe the TV has to go ! ) - without something that completely blocks the access to the rear doors. Any thoughts gratefully received !...See MoreKitchen/Living/Dining/Plant Room Design and Layout

I invite you to look at some of my 3D.

2 years ago@Jonathan I had a little play around with your idea of opening up the hallway. I was keen to retain the walk-in wardrobe so I've done this and switched up the laundry room and bathroom a little. The ensuite has suffered a little bit but in general I think it could work quite well

2 years agoIn my opinion it’s a good refinement.
Extra suggestions:-
Make the double doors near the kitchen a single snd therefore have wall space into the corner for kitchen cabinets.Bathroom- move the wc under the window and the sink opposite the door and then consider making the bathroom window smaller.
Laundry room- have the door opening outwards so you have more crouch room in front of the washer.
Consider a main bedroom rejig to give yourself a better ensuite

2 years agoHm, ok, I played a bit with your layout. Top one was assuming the bedroom was a spare. Bottom one with a shared bathroom, a toilet and a good sized utility (vacuum, washing machine, hanging some clothes outside). Personally I'd prefer the L-kitchen as it would leave more living space and a corner unit (I love those Lemans types), 3x 90cm drawers on the cooking side and 4x 60cm fronts on the sink side. Massive sectional sofa, just because I could.

2 years agoI think there is an argument to move the laundry downstairs and have a better family bathroom upstairs with a walk in shower.

Made the living area a tad bit shorter, so two bathrooms (bith with some daylight!) and a utility space will fit in (door with glass, letting daylight into hallway as well!). Made the outside 'courtyard' narrower, so the hallway can be 105cm plus 60cm for coats and shoes.

2 years agoI think combining the laundry with the house bathroom might be a good option. It makes the bathroom slightly larger and the door can be moved to a better position. Still leaves the problem of the awkward ensuite layout though...
