How to Maximise Living Space
hi there
Just wondering if someone could provide some advice on how to maximise our living space whilst not removing the kitchen island bench?
It appears the way this is currently designed gives approx 4.1mx4m space however a walk way need to be included in that equation.
cheers

How to furnish a small oblong kitchen/dining/living space
Comments (1)I would pop a buffet along the window by the front door & then a rectangle dining table in front of that. There are a few layouts you could do tv/ lounge wise but in the interest of entertaining & also watching tv whilst preparing meals.... I would put the tv on the wall opposite the built in cupboards - not right where the aerial point is though, closer along the wall towards the bedroom door. Then I'd have an L shape configuration of lounges (either a corner lounge or two lounges) with the back of one along the side wall (the wall you look at as you come in the front door), & the other with its back to the built in cupboards (obviously with enough room to open the doors behind it still. Then define the area with a rug etc...See MoreMaximising value and space from this site plan
Comments (4)congratulations, I think if you are renting the house to others I would do any repairs, paint and make sure carpets are in good clean condition, it looks like it's already a great house and would save any major changes until you will move in. But having said that I would look to getting a second toilet, making the toilet already in the bathroom into a powder room and adding the new toilet into the floor space within the bathroom. Other than that expand the laundry to fit a toilet. I think the current bathroom area would be far cheaper though. But because there's a swimming pool, a shower & toilet in the laundry area for access from the pool would be best. do both! cheers...See MoreHow should I arrange my kitchen/living/dining space?
Comments (13)you need a large rug underneath your living room furniture to sit ot all on there - not half on / half on. to connect the dining to the kitchen i wouid add a pendant over the kitchen bench with a smaller matching one over the dining table - that will connect the spaces. Definitely a console or buffet with a mirror above it on the wall with whee your dining table is situated. the mirror will reflect the mood lighting of the pendant back into the mirror. Use another rug in a coordinating color - not the same ( as your living) to them tie all the spaces together....See MoreKitchen/living room extension - how can we best use our space?

Thanks Despina Design
I agree with the rectangle table to emphasise the length, potentially some stools parallel to this table on the island.
I'm not sure about decreasing the 3.6m distance from the island to window. We like to entertain so the more seats we have the better.
Would something like this work?
