Layout suggestions for a small, oddly shaped room
Hi all. I am looking at renovating my kitchen/lounge/dining area which is quite small, but am having trouble with the layout and location of the front door. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do? I’ve been told that the pantry may be load bearing, but am happy to have it removed and reinforced. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

last monthI have moved entry to dining, with current front door a window providing light into kitchen with the long wall removed but keeping the short wall for some tall pantry storage and also a bench. I have placed a stool on one side but could put storage there instead.

Comments (1)Hi Bella, this is very small so storage and minimalism are helpful. I would use a circular table- less of a footprint with more surface area. Nothing on the wall that backs the kitchen- it is a hallway really- perhaps a mirror to create depth as well as interest as you enter the front door. Multi functional furniture- ottoman that doubles as seating and storage, sofa that contains storage or second bed. Worth considering a tall shallow(280mm deep) cabinet behind the sofa- you would get great storage if you had plenty of shelves and only lose 28cm from the overall length of the room. Obviously the lower section is covered, but still useful in such a small space. Custom built cabinet for t.v etc in the recess- go all the way to the ceiling to maximise this obvious space opportunity. Good luck,...See MoreWhich option for U-shaped kitchen layout

I wouldn't put the stove in the corner..better to have in the middle so you've got bench space on each side to pop your dishes and colanders etc whilst you're cooking...See MoreHelp with decorating my long, dark and oddly shaped entry hall
Comments (17)The hallway is bright and welcoming. Forget a mat as you have dogs as well as elderly family. Unless the chair is serving a purpose, I would remove it and add a full-length wall hung mirror which will reflect light and make the hall look an indeterminate length and you can used it to see your reflection before you leave the house....See MoreHelp with room layouts and suggestions for better functionality
Comments (9)Hi, Based on the provided floorplan, the issue is that your rooms are long and quite narrow so this will present a bit of a challenge with furniture placement. When Selecting furniture I would suggest you choose sofas and armchairs that are sleek and have a small footprint. Make sure that the arms are narrow so they don't take up too much valuable space. The below sofa and armchair are a good example of what I'm referring to. The fire place in the Family Room takes up a lot of space in the centre of the only wall without windows, perhaps you would consider moving it into a corner? This would free up some space and provide some much needed circulation space. Otherwise this room is in danger of looking a little bit like a waiting room with sealing along one wall. If you like open plan and aren't worried about taking out walls, then there is an opportunity to open up the wall between the dining room, Living Room and Kitchen for a real Open Plan space, but this would involve redesigning the entire living space of the house. Not impossible but a bit messy. Hope this helped, MKG...See More
