Which Kitchen/Study nook Design is best?
Comments (1)I've realised that the text on the designs may be too small to read or blurred when enlarged so have attached the 5 designs separately. thanks...See MoreFormal lounge/ study
Comments (10)Hi DesignD - if it's too be used as a potential study/office space with seating, I initially thought about putting a low level storage/open bookcase against the white wall with perhaps a TV above it (if using the space as a lounge or for presentations if used as a study/office). The study desk I thought could have a glass top and be placed in front of the grey wall so that the person sitting at the desk, is facing towards the hallway .... therefore glare from the window on the computer screen should be minimal. It would also keep the room feeling open and spacious. Then you could still potentially put a 2-3 seater sofa (think sofa bed for unexpected guests) in front of the window facing towards the tv/storage space? You could place a lovely piece of artwork on the grey wall above and behind the desk with a small lamp table in corner near the window/sofa which could do double duty for cups of tea/coffee :)...See MoreDesign ideas for new kitchen, dinning and study nook needed
Comments (9)I would suggest you do not make the area open plan. You should make the dining room a dedicated home office/study area. You could install desks and plenty of bookshelves for storage. Sort through all your stuff and try to make the family room and dining table for eating, not stationery. You could definitely make the corner where the bookcase is, into a study area as well....See MoreDESIGN DILEMMA - 5TH ROOM vs Walk in pantry sitting room/study
Comments (5)There is a difference in proposing changes for the purpose of your own functional needs, as opposed to speculative value-adding purpose. The latter is always a roll of the dice and trying to 2nd guess potential buyers, which is (IMO) never a sensible approach to a building project. Without understanding the entire house/scenario, it's impossible to offer judgement one way or the other. Design decisions should always be considered in the overall scheme of things, and as always balanced against your goals and of course costs involved. A Bedroom straight off a dining room will not be very appealing, however potentially a small study space could be deemed a logical /practical space. If you're serious about it best seek professional design assistance to help you work through your options. Cheers PD :)...See MoreScarlett Web

2 years agoSorry for the delay. Thanks all. I've attached a plan below. Our house is in the middle of a reno so the lounge and master bedroom will be new additions. At the moment the study is acting as a bedroom, study and lounge. But this will change once our final renos are done- it will then only be a study/second lounge. Not too fussed about using as a spare room, as guests normally stay in our shed if needed.
Thanks Dreamer, i love that photo of the TV with the desk either side and cupboards above. This is getting closer to what i've been looking at.
The Study on the house plan is slightly not to scale. The window is actually more central and the space feels bigger than how it appears. i'll try to take more photos to illustrate.
Jess89 the ikea bed looks nice. Macyjean, thanks for encouraging for more details. We can change any power points. At the moment the foxtel and tv points are wired to the corner where the the TV is now (see photo).
