Design Dilemma

Open plan family kitchen layout.

Hello, I'm looking for some help with where to site my Kitchen in my new extention.

I was thinking of moving it into the existing dinning room so I have eating and relaxing at the rear of the house overlooking the garden.
After reading about possible risk of fire from extracting cooker smells up the chimney I have been put off this idea.

I really love having a clear veiw from the front door to the back Garden so I dont want to keep the kitchen where it is as it will close the hallway off.

I'm thinking it would be easier with extration, drains, ect, and less expensive to put kitchen in the new extention, but what do I use the current dining room area for, relaxing or dinning?
Hope this all makes sense, pls see picture below
Any advice would be a great help thanks!

    Hi Mictrue your planned extension will totally transform your house... exciting!! As you're thinking of having your kitchen in the new extension now, the location that makes the most sense to me is along the new utility room wall. Though this will reduce the worktop & storage space available to you, a nice way to get around this would be to have a kitchen island. As well as increasing storage and worktop space, the island would also allow for a breakfast bar/stools which will make the kitchen area more social. Then I'd suggest creating a snug/TV area where the new kitchen was located on the proposed plan. Keeping the dining table roughly where it is, you should even have space for another sofa or chairs along the LH external wall in the new extension. Hopefully this will create the layout you're hoping for!? All the best PB

      Hi there!


      We agree with Pavillion Broadway. It would be nice to have the kitchen and utility close together. where the kitchen currently is would be a really cosy area for a living and seating area. You would still have a view of the garden but it wont feel like your till in the kitchen while relaxing. Also an island would be a lovely addition to your kitchen, it is nice to have informal and formal dinning areas in the space. By giving the table a nice amount of space around it, it would mean if you ever need to extend or add another table to your dinning area, when you have large gatherings, it won't feel too cramped!

      All the best with you're new extension!

      You could hide the entrance to utility so its hidden by matching furniture swing back doors similar to how we designed for this client ( screen shot and cropped from our pro page )

      Try to line the island up so you can view the front door if that's something you'd like to do.
      It's a fab space !!

      Kind regards

      The most important thing is to come up with a wish list of what you really want within your kitchen, ie How do you want to do your cooker, AGA, Eyelevel, range cooker etc, refrigeration, islands, seating, food cupboards. From your wish list a designer would be able to tell you what works best and where. Please visit www.chapelkitchens.com, we may be able to help

      And another idea, this time with a breakfast nook and the shower room moved from under the stairs.
      I guess if this were my house I would not site the utility room with the best view.

      I totally agree with the utillity being in the wrong place... but as our house is a semi detached and we are extending on the RH side to create a 2.9m wide garage we won't have much room between wall and boundry fence, poss have 60cm, is this wide enough for rear access for garden waste, lawn mower ect...

      i agree with kitchen units along wall of utility plus an island. I'd be tempted to make the old dining area a seperate study with glass blocks or internal window to let in light. your utility is going to be big. if there's any way of putting the downstairs shower room in it that would make your hallway more spacious.

      Ahh.... So the idea was to take the lawn mower through the garage and utility.
      As a solution why not make the rear extension 40 cm smaller so you can walk down the side (ideally you would have 1metre although you are likely aware that internal doors are 75cm wide).
      Then I would then make the garage wider and add a personal door at the rear to use the side path.

      oooh study idea sound good too.. I sketched that on the plans originally but didnt know how it would work with hip roof but now we are having a flat roof at the back it will be fine! Just sent the planning application off so will have to see what happens, hope it wont cost to much if we have to change it a little. Thanks for all your help every one, I have 3 or 4 contenders now so I think the next step will be to get quotes from builders to see which is most cost effective for our budget!

      Some great advice above!

      It would appear you need to get multiple preliminary plans prepared before you embark on this design.

      The mere fact that you asked the questions must justify the need for more designs!

      Look forward to seeing which one you choose!
