orangery layout help

Hi, we recently had our conservatory roof changed to lightweight tiles and sky lights. We also made this open plan with the kitchen/diner by removing the internal doors. We did consider knocking the whole thing down and doing an extension along the width of the house but we didn’t want to lose the garden space and that would have been a costly outlay. How can we design this space? It is meant to be a snug/play room area for the kids. Furniture placement feels tricky. I’m really bad at visuality a space and interior design. Thank you

I think I would look for slimmer toy storage either side of the window. Shelves if you cannot find a shallower unit than the kallax. The sofa could face the door. You could also add a soft upholstered chair/snuggler in front of the window between the shelves. I would look for a larger much softer rug, berber style. That would provide a soft play area. I know the kallax is 400 deep. If you don't want to change the shelving turn it the other side up and place it on the right of the window.

Thank you for your reply. That sounds a good suggestion, only we do need a tv somewhere really. They do spend some of the day watching tv. I will defo try move the sofa to where the kallax is just to get a feel for the space laid out that way.

I think I would have one set off steps down and move the dividing presses to the side where your sink is, making it a peninsula. That would make for a nice L shaped banquette seating area where your blank wall is, and the gallery backdrop would be great there. You could also have a nice long table as opposed to the small square one. I also hope you don't mind me saying that I think you need to reconsider the placement of your hob. It's right beside a door which will be awkward and you have your back to the room when entertaining. You will have such a nice kitchen that you should make the most of it for entertaining. Even you consider putting it on the island facing the dining area?

The room has a nice feel but is a challenge in regard to furniture placement. Without structural changes, the best option would be to move the desk to the wall beside the double doors or to the wall bounding the kitchen and put a sofa (you may fit a three seater) to the left of the fireplace and buy two nice chairs on double door side of the fireplace. Something like this but without the middle sofa. A big mirror over the fireplace will help bounce light. Longer term, perhaps you should consider opening up the kitchen. You could put storage into that recessed area inside the door.

I think given the colour and depth of the sofa I would keep it as is.

The only place for a tv would be above the kallax unless you did move the sofa and have the tv in the corner between door and window but see what you prefer.

if the tv went above the kallax where it is now I would consider a box frame with the tv on a swing out bracket hung just above the kallax.

I’d get white rattan, canvas etc storage boxes for the kallax so it all blends into the wall.

Consider a plug in wall light by the sofa and a storage coffee table like this could work, just use a cover for messy arts and crafts.

Perhaps a patterned roman blind on a white background for the window, pick up one of the colours for a cushion

You could add art around the tv or to the right of the sofa and perhaps replace the centre downlight for a pendant

Hi Carrie, If you are looking for window coverings for your conservatory space, we would recommend blinds as these will be slim and not take up a lot of space. If you would like more information on suitable blinds, please contact us on 01273 462196.

@minnie101 thank you, some good suggestions there. I like the idea of that table actually and a cover for crafts. I do have a red ikea table set in there now (had it previously) and thought I needed to keep that for years but actually I could still make it a grown up room with kids stuff too. Totally over looking at the chunky red table and chairs set 😂
