Renovation Layout Change - Need Advice/Suggestions/Help!
Comments (6)I would remove the entire wall between kitchen and dining room only. I think if you remove the rumpus room wall, you are going to end up with a really long narrow space, which will be difficult to use. do you want a "separate room" (what about in the future-kids? play room,office, formal dining , etc? An alternative to completely opening up the rumpus room to the kitchen, would be to create openings on either side, and leave the wall in the middle section. 2 advantages-a solid space to place a piece of furniture, and create a zone, whilst still opening it up quite a bit. depending on what you intend to use the rumpus room area for- you might even consider moving that wall across, so it is centered between the windows-a bit more space on the kitchen side, and a cozy space on the rumpus room side - if its going to be a play room/office/small sitting area, it would end up being about 3.7*3.4, which is still a good size (just not enough for a dining room or pool table) And then completely remove the wall section that is between the living room and dining room Depending on whether you think heating/noise etc is a problem with it so open, you could add either a barn door, or double glass doors to the opening. DEFINITELY remove the arches- i would just square them straight of to the ceiling. and leave the openings..or add a barn door Paint all that brick white-you will be amazed how much lighter the house will be. consider a doorway from the garage into the kitchen-it must be a pain carting the shopping through the house. Also, your windows need some timber architraves on the inside. Have fun - its always so exciting starting a new reno (for me-into my tenth year on the one house-not so much anymore :/ )...See MoreDesign dilemma: What's the best layout for a small apartment?
Comments (10)Hi Ashley. I would caution against the design style of the apartment above. From what info there is, in the real world that kitchen layout would be painful to eat at. Assuming the width there is 3.0m (depends on where they measured the kitchen) then a benchtop of 600mm, a kitchen walkway of approx 1000mm, then a counter of 600 only leaves an 800mm wide passage/seating area. Even if the room is 3200mm wide you only get a seating/walkway of 1000mm and then you need to be careful of the fridge intrusion into the kitchen space. The failing of this design is trying to have 2 separate walkways in limited space. Oklouise's design is better because you are multi tasking the same open space ie it is both a passage way and the kitchen work area. It also provides a wall to enable the fridge depth to be part of the length of the room and not the width. Keep in mind in also that in order to do that design the people above likely needed access to your? apartment to relocate the drains. That is the biggest issue in apartments and needs to be reviewed and resolved before you can do any work. Cheers...See Morewould you change my kitchen layout?
Comments (24)The kitchen area and alfresco is an extension, so we have furniture already in the formal lounge dining that we are happy with. Thanks for the pics of the Breaky space. I do like the look of that and have the fridge near that end of the kitchen. It would probably make the current kitchen layout more practical....See MoreFloorplan layout change
Comments (22)I looked into using the master bedroom for kitchen living, and found that it would be complicated to find a suitable space for the New Master due to the other long extension only being 2500 wide. So keeping the master insitu using the current Ensuite and adding a WIR as per my first post. A family bathroom with an over bath shower from a house in Avalon Sydney as per attached photo, and a generous powder room with vanity. I have kept the south wall of the living open to the kitchen/ dining to make use of the northern winter warmth that would come in via the other end of the living room The kitchen is one that I did for a friend who loves to cook and have her appliances like an Air Fryer etc on hand along the benchtop in the pantry section. A separate Laundry opening on from that which could have a door out to the drive way side of the house. But could also become part of a new Mudroom Laundry space to use when returning from the beach. I would still like to see exposed white painted rafters and ceilings where possible but it is what you want at the end of the day...See MoreVy
