Dining Rooms Design Dilemma Kitchens

is this space big enough for what I want?!

last year

Just purchased a house that needs a lot of work!
Idea is to knock through kitchen/ dining room and build a small extension to make a 5.43mX 6.15m kitchen/ dining/ snug space.
My question is will I get it all in?! Thank you in advance.

You might have a pinch point between the corner stool of the island and the sofa.

would you consider moving the utility into the rear of the garage and having a bigger kitchen?

Thanks folks.. The unit doors are solid pine and the ceiling is red deal..( hope that's the correct spelling!) It's a cosy space but a little dark I think, if not too overbearing with all the wood..

can that wall be remover between kitchen and table? if so could you put a narrow island in kitchen with a table/counter running off of it into current dining area. this would be alot narrower and allow for more storage unser the window plus open up ypur living space more. also furniture is very dark for a small space and table and chairs seem very big. could you paint ceiling white and light fixture a brighter colour.. all these things should make it seem bigger. the picture i have attached would be quitw narrow and just an idea i saw on houzz.

Behind the far left glass panel is a cloakroom and behind the right glass panel I have a piano. (All in my hall ) I am thinking of knocking the cloakroom on the inside and putting a desk and hidden shelving and leaving piano on the right. And knocking a kitchen wall which now means you would see into my kitchen from my front door. I may partition the hall now with a pocket door for privacy. I can give more details if required ... My big dilemma is what style of front door would be great ! I don’t want the door and three panel look again.

Thank you that is an option if the existing space not big enough. Thank you very much.

No it’s not big enough it’s actually quite tight to fit in an island and dining table lengthways and so that’s only possible if you push the dining table against the wall (perhaps with bench seating) and you won’t have room for stools at the island.

You either have to abandon the idea of a snug area, or just have a pointless sofa at the edge of the room, or build bigger, or turn the utility room into another reception room.

If you use the utility as a separate reception room you might find the cost of opening it up to the kitchen/dining prohibitively high because you would have to remove the corner of the original house.

It might be a more cost effective extension to build behind the utility and kitchen rather than square off the kitchen/dining

Our kitchen is a similar size to what you are looking at (maybe a little narrower) and I don’t think it could have been arranged to fit a sofa and tv unless we didn’t have an island in the layout.
