kitchen layout advice

last year

Hi, we’re taking down a wall to create a kitchen/dining space. I’m just looking for some kitchen layout advice from people who’ve done it recently. Attaching my architects technical drawings for reference. We’ve got a pillar mid way through the main kitchen wall so this is something I’m finding hard to plan around. Not sure if I should move the oven to the other side of pillar but we are keen for counter space around the hob for prep. Any advice would be great - thanks!

Have a look at our Long House project. There is a good kitchen plan that would suit your layout there.

Is there a reason for having the dining at the back? It would be localy to have it nearere the doors to make the most of the light - whereas the kitchen itself would be good with the artificial lighting.

Thanks for the feedback. We prefer having more natural light in the kitchen and being able to look out at the garden when washing up to keep an eye on our children. Currently everyone walks straight into the area where we cook and it’s very dark here so the preference was to move the cooking area to a space with more light and more space for preparing

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.

Open Plan Kitchen \ Living Design Advice

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 !

Hi Rebecca, Congratulations on your new home. I have quickly sketched out the floor plan of your room in 2D and 3D. For the first option I placed the 2 seater in the window alcove, however I dont know the height of the window so this may not work if it is a large window as you dont want the furniture to obscure the window. I hope this helps :)

Hello , I think an L shaped sofa would work or you could move the to one of the walls where the sofas are. I wouldn’t put TV on the wall with the door
