Redesigning our house including kitchen, two bathrooms & laundry. Ideas?
Comments (53)Thanks Jayme, I get what you mean, it's just not really practical for our house & will make the renovation a lot more difficult & expensive if we start moving walls like the to gain an extra couple of feet. It's possibly a load bearing wall too. But that area which is currently our kitchen where we are thinking of putting the fire place isn't the main living area, it's basically the centre of our living area which is a long room from one end of the house to the other, so we were thinking having the fire there will warm the house better being that it will have the kitchen & dining table one side of it & the lounge the other side. I think we could it a couple of cozy arm chairs & a small coffee table or we could just put a love seat up against the section of wall opposite the fire?...See MoreLooking for help with a Kitchen renovation layout design please
Comments (26)I understand the beam being installed when you did your earlier extension as that was an external wall, that's why I have suggested keeping part of the wall next to the island which was also an external wall, to support this, I will check this in the drawing to ensure it lines up for you. By opening up this wall as much as possible you are allowing more light back into the house The cost of running plumbing across I think is negative/comparable to moving the plumbing for the re positioned laundry and kitchen and removing any load bearing walls. Storage in the new kitchen is a big 2900 x 900 island of drawers for easy access, I have added a wall oven but that could become a 600 pantry with drawers in the lower part with a shelf above for small appliances. The wall with the TV could be a wall of narrow built in storage to be used in any way you need. This floor plan gives better flow between kitchen/family.dining/alfresco and better for unloading the car with the driveway running down beside the kitchen and verandah...See MoreHelp with layout for 2 bathroom renovations
Comments (10)Yes keep the bath. 99% of my clients still request a separate bath. My wife and daughter still use one. Young kids still love a bath. I would look further into relocating the return air for ducted. Its not really central to the house anyway so could be underperforming. Probably easier to relocate it as this can open up opportunities for better bathroom layout. Whats in the space between laundry and kitchen, looks like a wasted area that could allow a bigger laundry, linen cupboard with space for return air.... 2480 x 1800 is plenty of room for the smaller bathroom. Allow 900 for shower, 900 for toilet and 900 for a vanity. Lot of layouts that you could try. Use a 720 door if need be. 2480 x 1800 for the other bathroom would be say 900 shower with a 1500 bath. Relocating return air and adjusting the door location and the walls would allow a reasonable bathroom layout and more layouts and a bigger bath. Note: door location is critical to the layout and not overly expensive to change compared to the money spent on rest of bathroom....See MoreLooking at renovation to bathroom & Kitchen. Help!
Comments (15)Basic drawing to keep the budget checked, I would keep the kitchen insitu, removing the return bench top and adding a bank of pantry cupboards. Access into the bathroom for the bedrooms needs to be retained. Both the bathroom and kitchen are 2.5 wide, so kitchen would have 600 deep pantry, 600 deep benchtop which gives 1.3 between them, Fridge remains in place...See Moremickmaus
