Looking for Design advice - Kitchen Living Room and Downstairs Space

Preethi Pinto
11 månader sedan

Hi :) Its my first time posting here. We are looking to create an open plan kitchen with island (no seating required on island but would like it to have storage) and a dining table, and utility/laundry room downstairs and also convert the current workshop into a bedroom and bath. I also want to fit a small office/storage space by dividing the garage (or fit it on this floor). Attaching the current layout. Any advice would be very greatly appreciated.

    Thank you all for the great tips and resources! I really appreciate it. We are still working out if we should break down walls to maximise the space.

      Hey Preethi,

      1)Have you considered knocking down the wall between kitchen and dining for the open space plan?

      2)for converting the workshop can you get rid of one of the door and give an entry from the sitting maybe give the bathroom space by the garage?

      3)As for dividing the garage space, you can easily do it by creating a wall in the middle or wherever depending on the size of office that you want.

      Hi Preethi!


      You definitely have the space to create the rooms that you want. There are lots of ways you can do this. The main thing is to get clear on what you need and want from each of these rooms - how you want to use them and what the flow needs to be from one space to another for you to be able to enjoy living in your home with ease.


      The best starting point is to create a vision for your home. You can get a taster of my unique method for creating your vision with my free Design Your Home Vision Checklist that you can get here: https://www.i-architect.co.uk/dyhvchecklist.html


      Another thing you can do is assess your floorplan by colouring in red all spaces and areas that are underused - this will help you to see which spaces are most easily available for you to repurpose.


      Best wishes with your home redesign!

      Could you clarify a few points please? It is both for your own benefit and to help the designers here to get a feel for what you want to do.

      Where is the best light / view in the house? Do the household want the kitchen, living or office space to occupy this prime location? Do you need a separate snug / TV room ( which can be in the darkest area)?

      Will the downstairs bedroom be used regularly or just for occasional guests? The workshop space looks a bit narrow for a full-time double bedroom with storage.

      Where are the loos upstairs located? Putting the new en-suite under them will be cheaper than adding new pipework.

      Something with a glass divide between kitchen and lounge and a sliding door system to hide the laundry and boiler ? Maybe a small breakfast area at the window ?
      Just a doodle while I’m waiting for some work to render … you would need to instruct a SE to check if these walls can be moved … but it’s a small start maybe ?

      This looks great. We will need to have some storage space still, but this really opens up the space. Thank you for your input.
