Side return extension - layout

L McJoseph
hace 6 años
We are extending to the side and back of our Victorian terrace flat, whilst reconfiguring the rooms to make way for an extra bedroom and ensuite. However we are struggling massively with the layout of the open plan living/dining/kitchen space at the back of the house. I would like the kitchen and dining space to feel quite separate from the living room so they feel like two distinct rooms but am struggling with how to lay this out. We also have this funny little box space off the back of the room which we would like to use for something but not sure what. Would love any ideas people have or examples of other similar extensions as I am struggling a little!

    Ok, here's my attempt:

    I love the idea of a walk-in pantry, but I couldn seem to get the space to work that way, so I ditched it. Anyway it would have stolen your bathroom window. Maybe use the extra space in the bathroom for a utility closet with washer and dryer, plus storage for mops etc.

    Meanwhile, the kitchen seemed to make more sense in the bright part of the room, with the living area in the cosier space at the back. I would 'zone' the living area with the biggest rug you can find.

    To seperate the living from dining area, you could try an open bookcase which gives separation but lets light through, while providing great storage.

    For the dining area, I would go with a long narrow table with bench inside. The table can be pushed right in when the bench isn't in use.

    Finally I think the kitchen would work well as one long run and an island, with a sink in the island. There are stools in this pic but I'm not sure if they'd clutter the space too much.

    Looks like a lovely bright space, I hope some of these ideas help!

      I love the layout. It would be worth working with a designer, but I wonder if you had the dining table in the middle, you could have a small 'wall' either permanent or furniture, to separate the living and dining/kitchen space. You could attach a TV to this for the living side too. It could obviously block views of the garden depending on it's height though.

      How about putting a partial partition wall in like in this image, which you could utilise for tall kitchen units on one side and mount the tv on the other side.

      I think that you should work with a designer to help you visualise the space. Personally I think that you have made some compromises to have the 3rd bedroom- for instance there is little storage, the washing machine will have to go in the kitchen/living room which could be intrusive. I also feel that you would appreciate a bigger main room.
      I might be tempted to consider swapping bed 3 for a bathroom with laundry cupboard and then gaining what was the bathroom space for the kitchen/ living room

      Hi there. I love Jen’s idea for the seating. It’s zoning that you will need to look at to help these spaces feel separate.. giving them their own function and personality.

      I also agree with the few comments regarding working with a designer. It really helps to visualise the space and gets you several layout options to consider. There are plenty of pros on here who work with concept planning or full interior design, who would be able to help you looking at this layout.

      Have you considers using a designer yet?

      Thank you so much everyone for you comments. We actually spoke to a really helpful designer at the Grand Designs event in London last weekend who suggested that we keep the kitchen all down the right, the living room at the back and the dining table straight across. It was so helpful chatting with her and I wonder whether perhaps we do need to hire a designer to help us a bit more. All of these comments have been really helpful though so thank you!
