Comments (2)It will be very expensive. No will tell you a price without seeing it physically. To remain slimline and give you your open space you will need to get steel work. Redirecting loads, demo work, wall and roof reno then getting back to a liveable interior will be in the tens of thousands. You need to get a builder to give you a price. Also aim for at least 5 different quotes. Good luck....See MoreOpening bedroom door to kitchen/dining area or to the living area?
Comments (13)Thank you for all the replies and suggestions. Although the kitchen, dining and the entry area at large would benefit from moving the bedroom door inside, I tend to agree that the privacy and function suffer more from a bedroom door within the lounge. I was suggested elsewhere to widen the lounge entrance and remove its door thus making the layout more open and "modern". I think this would not help, though, with the door positioning problem - either way. Bigreader, bedroom 2 = top room on the layout? It can be used as a spare bedroom but it is surrounded with shutters and large windows. I think It better suited for leisure or as a work space. Oklouise, thank you for the effort in redrawing the layout and experimenting with it. The suggestion for exchanging the hinges direction is spot on. The bathroom is not built yet. I am considering replacing the bath with a partly open shower:...See MoreSeeking advice on floor plan layout for kitchen, dine, study & lounge
Comments (35)I mentioned earlier to think about dropping the wall next to the stairs to hip or slightly higher height to allow for the TV, as this would further open up the top floor and perhaps show the street art, ie the framed print. I know that you don't want anything else hanging from the ceiling but because of the ceiling height you will need a reverse hanging fan to bring all the warm air down into the room that will sit up there if you don't. The heater is because you had one shown in your posted floor plan, this is one of the fires available on my 1997 CAD program, that's the colour it comes in but can be changed within the program cheers...See MoreDesign ideas - open plan kitchen, dining & family
Comments (6)I am thinking from a different way. Build a new extension with lots of windows to let the northern sun into your home. The external wall of original home would be structural, I have noted in red, where structural posts can be installed and at the same time adding some interest to your island. Keep the front lounge as a separate space. The kitchen I have shown wraps around with cupboards in the former dining room. If you do not require a bigger kitchen, then Maybe the dining room can be a study area still accessed through the kitchen. In both instances, your new island can be where your current sink area is. You have not mentioned a budget, so anything is possible....See More
