Kitchens Dining Rooms

Wasted kitchen space?

last year

All my units are at one end and dinning at other. I'm wondering if I could change - add units or an island as it seems like a dead space. Plants are all my mum's as she moving house. 🙂

Thanks everyone. AMN - The lighting in the photo isn't great - the walls and venetian blinds are both white and the green is a wallpaper. I've a TV on one side and radiator on the other side of the wall but I do like the idea of painting it a different colour. What do you mean by "because the sectional is too big for the space already" thanks! Dar Eckert - like your suggestion of introducing another colour, I was thinking about aubergine but again it could be over modern and not the slightly warm vibe I'm looking for - what do you think? Carolyn - thanks for posting the rug, going to look it up and see about shipping costs etc to Ireland from that site. Really happy with the rooms but we've just had a baby and I want a bit more of a cosier feel with her around whilst still keeping with my modern twist!! Long post, sorry!!!

Can I put a kitchen with an extractor fan in a living space where there is a woodburning stove

I assume you mean a wood burning stove as fireplace as opposed to a wood burning stove as cooking stove? Takes all kinds to make a world and it's not the first time I've seen the idea. It depends on the strength of the fan. Pulling too many cubic feet per minute may suck smoke and carbon monoxide into the living area from the stove. Make up air ventilation, outside air, is required for fans over a certain CFM. I can't quote code on this one, but the make up air prevents negative pressure within the house. A sealed combustion firebox is probably OK, the air for combustion on such a unit would also come form outside. The EPA rated wood burning fireplace from Fireplace Xtrodinaire is an example. Hope this helps...a call to your local building department may answer your question better.

I agree with maikola, turn under the stairs into storage. Maybe combine with a little desk for when the kids are older. I'd swap your dining and living area around. Have the tv on the long left wall with a small sofa a couple of feet in front of the doors and one opposite the tv. It does look as if a 5ft table would fit in the kitchen though? If you don't want to fill too much of the kitchen space consider a bench one side for you to use with chairs for the kids on the other. The area outside the kitchen could then be for the kids to play

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.

Hi Louise. I can see your predicament. You could add an addtional 600mm wide unit to the projected counter behind the fridge. If you extend that too far it will compromise the ciruclation as you have a unit on the adjacent wall. You should typically leave at least 1m as best practise. If you wanted a quirky alternative, you could have floor to ceiling cabinets Infront of the door way on the left with a hidden door into that space. Hopefully this helps

Personally I don’t think there’s a need, or room for any more kitchen units from the photos, unless you’re planning to remove the table? I like the unit you have behind the table but if you desperately need more storage, maybe a longer sideboard type unit could go there? Personally I like having the distinction between kitchen style units on one side and then more ‘relaxed’ living / dining style furniture on the other.

That’s how the space is intended to be ie kitchen one end and dining the other. There’s no room for additional units.
