odd shaped kitchen
I’ve just purchased this home and so excited to put my stamp on it -but a little overwhelmed by this kitchen. Firstly, the whole room itself needs to work hard as it’s the only living space, so it needs to be a kitchen, dining, lounge. Then the layout of this kitchen feels really disjointed and only really allows you to put the table in the middle, which would get in the way.
Finally, the boiler is in the middle of the strip of shelves on the right - totally in the way. Does it cost a lot to move a boiler?
I love some advice and inspiration if possible!

New kitchen, but just not working.
Comments (448)fragle0 ... congratulations on the new addition to your family. Have been following your lovely changes. You probably won't have time to work on the decor for a while. Just wanted to suggest that you try pulling the nesting tables forward to be more in line with front of the chairs & placing your floor lamp to the back of them. This will give a bit more light at night for reading in that area.Also switching the plant by the fireplace & the one on the corner by the sofa....See MoreSuggestions please for L shaped room.
Comments (8)Hi there, It's always difficult working out the best place for a fireplace and indeed a tv but what I would ask is why have you opted for an L-Shaped extension? Have you got lots of constraints on the land or the garden? Long and thin extensions can always be a problem as they lack the width to create nice spaces without bottle necks or furniture blocking circulation and people movement. One of the things you will have to think about is the venting or flue / chimney and then there's the regulations about the stove being a minimum distance away from combustible materials. It would be nice to be able to look at the burner while you're facing into the garden so maybe a wall on the patio side to break up the glass doors and then add more light in from above to make it a little cosier. Sometimes too much glass can feel / look cold. The TV is always a problem but I suggest again to possible mount it on a wall but remember if you have the screen facing all that glass you will get reflection problems. Maybe you need to make a feature wall out of slate or stone that would have the wood burning stove against it and the TV offset a little on the same wall. Then have your glass doors either side so when you're sat on your sofa you can see the garden / patio all while sat in front of your stove and viewing the tv. Its a difficult one all in all but if you have the opportunity to alter the L shape and make at least one leg of it slightly wider it may give you a better option for the burner, sofa and the cosiness without the feel of a long thin room with not many passing places. Just a couple of suggestions but as I can see the design brief or land size / constraints etc I might be a little off the mark. Cheers. Simon www.scdc.biz...See MoreOdd shaped living room

Comments (2)Hi Helen, The fridge position is ideal so I suggest you move the radiator to the other side of the door and turn the door so its opens back against the fridge. This will increase the feeling of space in the whole dining area. You won't regret the length of your breakfast bar so I wouldn't worry about the gap sizes, 1200 is an ideal but 1000 is more than sufficient. Could you turn the door into the utility so that it opens inwards and not into the kitchen area? It would eliminate having to manoeuvre round the door when open and reduce congestion in the kitchen especially with traffic flow past the end of the breakfast bar. Alternatively you could consider a pocket door which slides into the wall if there is enough space. Good luck!...See More

This is amazing! Thankyou! Are these designs loosely correct from a sizing perspective - so this could actually be possible? I appreciate it’s a small space. I hadn’t considered an l-shaped bench but that’s deffo happening!!! Storage is key!
I wonder, would it make sense and fit in to add an ‘L shape’ to the galley kitchen - perhaps to close of the kitchen to the lounge space? (Blue blob as example)

Hi Jo,
without having exact measurements, it's not 100% correct and I did do a very quick overlay of your house floor plans. So the measurements are probably s bit off, but there is room to tweak things in that case.
If I were creating an actual design I would ask for precise measurements of everything, and make sure every tiny detail is considered and all space optimised.
This was just a super quick thing I've done to help you visualise the idea.
But I have included measurements from it, for you to have a look, and I would be more than happy to help you further if you need. I currently offer 50% discount design rates for new Houzz clients and very flexible package options, to give you exactly what you want, and need.
