Kitchen renovation Ideas

vor 8 Jahren

We'd like to utilise our home more efficiently (open plan) but to still be able to have a utility room, dining and open plan family seating area without having to extend outwards. The existing kitchen area we thought could be the entrance/hallway. We will be meeting with an architect shortly to prepare new plans - any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Hello there! If you require any planning when it comes to designing the kitchen, dining area and utility room, we have done many projects where clients have the idea to add these variations to their home, as well as balancing the open plan space. We're currently adding our projects to our Houzz page, but you're more than welcome to browse our website and hopefully gather inspiration and see if we can be any assistance. www.voguekitchens.co.uk

Trying to figure out how the current space works. Is the main entrance via the hall? What is the lobby? How is the space between the sitting room and dining room used?

Hi there, the lobby is our main front entrance and the space between dining room and main lounge room (it's an old plan stating sitting) is an open dead area where there are two chairs. Our thoughts is to have a kitchen where existing dining room is (with island)/dining area and family open sitting area. We're thinking a partition wall/pocket doors between the lounge and family sitting area so when we have the family we can open up the lounge up too.

We've been told to do an extension will cost about £1500/m2 = £25,000 with Vat if we extended from the dining area which is a lot of money so trying to keep within the house walls. Thought by extending a dining table from the kitchen island would save space. Open to any ideas/suggestions.

Danke für die Nachfrage...es war wirklich keine einfache Entscheidung. Wir haben uns gegen eine Abtrennung entschieden. Es war schon immer unser Wunsch einen großzügigen Wohnraum zu gestallten und daher hatten wir bedenken, dass wir durch einen Kamin im Raum diesen großen Raum dann doch wieder teilen. Wir haben festgestellt, dass es nur dann noch sehr luftig und großzügig ausschaut, wenn man sehr hohe Decken hat und, vor allem, sehr viele Fenster. Wir haben eine Raumhöhe von 2,80m gewählt und haben jedoch nur im Küchenbereich große Fenster.

What colour/fabric for soft furnishings

Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

Hi again, I am about to make a construction work. I am planning to buy new kitchen. The idea is remove the wall between the kitchen and dining room. I am thinking about new kitchen with island. I will appreciate for kitchen arrangement. As well we are planning to add additional toilette in bathroom, I want to add some more space and shift the living room entrance to kitchen direction. As well I am missing a cloth closet at entrance and no place to add it. I am attaching my plan for kitchen, living room and the dining room, but want to add some storage in kitchen. If you have better ideas for living room design/kitchen/dinning room it would be perfect. original plan without bedrooms. My design

Hallo, ein paar Parameter sind noch unklar: Darf erweitert werden und wenn ja, wie weit? Soll der ehemalige Terrassenbereich eingehaust und in die warme Hülle integriert werden? Meine Version: Küchenachse trennt den Wohnbreich vom Schlafbereich mit 2 Kajüten. Terrasse bleibt Aussenbereich, ist im Sommer aber das erweiterte Wohnzimmer. WC und Dusche werden getrennt. Faltschiebewand zur Terrasse. Kajüte 1 als Erweiterung der warmen Hülle. Bei Interesse für eine Vertiefung, können Sie sich gerne bei mir melden.

It makes perfect sense to put the kitchen where the dining room is and use that dead space as a cosy seating area/dining room. Love the idea of pocket doors. But, if you use the current kitchen as an entrance hall, it seems that that space combined with the current lobby and hall will be very big. Will it be all one open space or a combination of interconnected hallways? Either way, it seems a very large area given over to hallways which aren't lived in.

Could your architect help you to reincorporate some of that space into your kitchen/diner? Maybe the lobby could become a walk-in pantry accessed from the new kitchen - this would mean accessing your utility from the kitchen too I think. And maybe part of the old kitchen could be absorbed into the new dining/seating area by moving a wall- I don't know anything about building though!

If you do end up with a really large hallway space, make sure to include some large built-in storage so the space is well used and clutter free!

Thanks for your feedback bookworm and agree we need to use the space in the existing kitchen more effectively.

We are thinking to have the front entrance moved to the window in the kitchen so that uses up some of the existing kitchen space (have a console table along wall and take down some of hallway wall to give better flow of hallway) - we could use the lobby and part of the utility space to give us a more squared and bigger kitchen. We could also extend wall on the other side of the existing kitchen to make the family room bigger.?

Architect not keen on a wall there and wants to open it all up but don't like this as too open and may be too cold in winter. Was wondering if a large glass pane would soften the wall (see photo below taken at Neptune store but with idea of larger glass).

Talking of winter months - any ideas on best way to keep open area warm. We've had conflicting opinions on underfloor heating (electric not that effective and water a lot of digging into floor work and costly) - architect suggests modern rads. We just want what's most energy efficient and warm.

In terms of minimizing costs what about having the current kitchen as seating are open plan into new kitchen/dining space. You can then close off the current sitting room for more formal/intimate reception space. Also do you need a WC/shower room downstairs? Plenty of space to do it

Hi Ash,

If existing kitchen became seating you would be walking through it to get to other hallway area - also there's not much light there. There are 2 French doors from dining room and stead area which looks out to the garden - we'd like to widen with bifold or sliding doors.
The WC/ bathroom is behind the kitchen but not shown on plans as we're just on this area at the moment (although if we have to use some of existing kitchen space we could extend the bathroom.
