Floor Plan help needed
We have an L shaped house.
We can live with the bedrooms side of things but the living/meals/entry room is an issue.
We want to make structural changes to have more
Open plan living but also have a more modern feel.
The entry way currently has an exposed brick wall. Very dark.

Comments (11)How much laundry do you do? For example, I have kids, so cupboards would need to be very accessible. But if you mostly do it on the weekends and yuo have somewhere for storing the dirty washing, then cupboard laundry sounds like a great use of space. What about noise? Will that be a problem with the open living space? Sometimes when the fridge hums, the dishwasher whirls and swishes and the washing machine spins, we have rouble hearing the to at night! Another option could be to stick it in the garage at the back wall, and place shelving all around. Stuff doesn't have to be perfect! And a spot of paint could make it bright!...See MoreNeed Help With Floor Plan
Comments (22)the original ensuite configuration is excellent but this alternative provides 50cm extra storage wall in the wiw and a view of the vanity as you walk into the ensuite...i've also swopped the study and family bathroom to create the extra width for the entry and to keep all the plumbing (including downstairs) closer together and included an idea for the family bathroom that creates a multi person facility that is more private from the hallway btw moving the laundry downstairs removed the storage area for the garage so that lost space has been added back to the garage...See MoreNarrow house floor plan help needed
Comments (44)Am so pleased for you, Lucy. What a lovely home and it very much suits its gorgeous setting. Love, love, love the use of timber, and all that glorious light. I now also have a serious case of dining chair envy. And the view! No wonder you’re (rightly) pleased. Health, happiness and many, many years enjoying the fruits of all your hard work to you and yours And to all the lovely Houzz community members who helped Lucy, and myself, cheers you wonderful people...See Moreproposed bottom floor plan ideas
Comments (55)Hello there, I haven't read all the comments or studied all the plans and variations but I would suggest the powder room with a shower downstairs be on external wall for vent: store rooms do not need it. Also have the laundry doors in center and opposite each other allowing for two straight runs of benching much better!! The kitchen look huge: maybe make dine larger. Upstairs have the study all open to stairs and void: a much nicer place to work. Why have the ensuite on the far end when it would be lovely for bedroom to look out and to have it closer to robe. Then too move robe door so you do not do laps round the bed to find slippers. long window is excellent for fresh air in robe too. I know you said it is a QLDer but which way is north and have you taken that into account to your liking, heating, cooling? Cheers Margot...See MoreGeorgia Farley

3 years agoalways depends on budget and the dimensions need to be rechecked as room sizes seem inconsistent but i'm wondering if moving the kitchen would be any cheaper than adding a new laundry and removing the northern end of the dining room wall to make more walking space to access the back door ..keep the living room for adult space (rethink the fire place and hearth) and the expanded family and dining room room should be more comfortable but i would keep the entry wall with painted bricks but replace the entry storage with a tall bench or chest of drawers for a set down space and add a solar skylight to brighten the entry
