We have a good sized open-plan kitchen/diner - but I don’t think we are utilising the space as well as we can. We are talking to a builder about renovating the space. Can we fit a sofa in this room? Where should it go? Where should the dining table be? Should we change the layout of the kitchen completely?
I can understand why you are leaning towards a sofa as it seems 'over' spacious with the table, especially when it is positioned length ways between the 2 doors. It would be nice to have some casual seating. The only way i can think that you could do so is to think about changing from a rectangular table to a round table, which could be positioned more centrally to free up the wall under the picture. It would allow smother trafic flow than moving around edges. A legged minimal sofa might work there. Or maybe a pair of casual chairs, again minimal in design.
I‘m wondering if its the fridge/ freezer that is causing the problem. if you could incorporate it into your kitchen area, perhaps by incorporating your outside store? if so then i think you could have a sofa against the stair wall and the table and bench seating infront of the understairs cupboard, you might even have space for an armchair in front of the french doors.
Wow, these designs are incredible. They really utilise the space to its potential. Never thought of switching the location of the kitchen - it frees up so much room for a whole seating area. Will speak to our builder! Thank you all for responding to my first ever post!
