Can you help us with our kitchen reno floor plan?
Comments (83)I've been playing around with a pantry location. Originally, I was going to move the pantry into the laundry with some custom shelving and cut the laundry space in half. Now, Im thinking of cutting into the study area and building a wall there, and converting the new space into a long and narrow walk in pantry. Either that or build half a wall and put built in shelving in the study. Building the extra wall will reduce the need to cover in the door way that is currently in place and instead utilising it. Thoughts? p.s. this isnt too scale....See MoreLaundry - Bathroom Reno
Comments (15)Working with 2400, the following idea, a 3 bedroom unit would benefit from a separate toilet, you could add a recessed hand basin but a good looking laundry and sink would cover that.. If the toilet was moved back into what is the laundry cupboard this would give a possible window, this space would then be transferred into the bathroom as a linen cupboard it would also place the doorway into the toilet in a better position. Alternatively you could leave access to the toilet via the bathroom, still keeping the toilet moved back to enable a window/ or not The family bathroom would then have a decent vanity and bath with shower over. The ensuite would have a 1400 shower with a toilet backing onto the separate toilet which should allow for easier plumbing, plus an exterior window...See MoreNeed advice on kitchen layout for reno
Comments (32)Interesting to see the previous floorplan, but what we need is the width and depth of the current laundry and Wine Cellar. A couple of 3D versions of what I suggest, please understand that my CAD program was produced in 1997 hence thee old style furniture appliances etc, mind you it's still an excellent program which is no longer produced. I had considered having the fridge on the return wall but! if it was done within the current kitchen floorplan it would reduce the length of a lovely big island. Then guessing the size of the laundry, Taking space from the current laundry to fit the fridge on the return wall would leave nothing for a good Pantry without moving walls. So trying to work with current walls and doors and windows and still having separate WIP and Laundry, I suggest the following, when you enter the house from the side door you will be in the Pantry, if you turn left you would be in the Laundry Mudroom, The fridge could be slid across into the WIP but this would require removing the window. Configuration of the Pantry cabinets to be decided by you, but it could be great for appliances, making tea and toast in the morning and dropping shopping (select the drawings to enlarge)...See MoreRenovation options/ideas advice
Comments (6)So your basement is currently 1880mm height effectively , and you may lose some of that ? I'm 1.9 , so I'd knock my head , but the main reason I wouldn't consider anything apart from a garage / storage is the way it looks -- you'll spend $10's of thousands with flooring and power and lighting and walls and paint and wallpaper and doors -- and most people will screw their nose up if looking at buying . I know its your place , and you may intend to stay there forever , but at some atge it will have to be sold ....See MoreKate
