What to do with this space ?

6 years ago

Hi, help required please...

What should I do with this kitchen breakfast area? It’s a bit of a dead space at the moment (cats bedroom !)

I have attached a few photos. Also the floor plan.

Worth noting the wall between the kitchen and family room is being removed....so unsure if I really need another sitting area in this breakfast area ?

Further to that the family room is being knocked into the dining room creating an open plan l-shape.

Help needed.

Thanks
Craig

If you are coming in the house from the garage most of the time then you can have a look at what Americans call mud room. Maybe remove the wall between utility room and have a large utility/ mud room with lots of cabinets and seating bench/ hanging space etc . Or if you have kids make it into a study area. I wish I have an extra room, nice house by the way.

What about moving your utility and laundry room to this area so you access them directly from the kitchen? Also if you are making your kitchen open plan then you could put your dishwasher and space for dirty dishes in there so you don't see them from the living space.

Alternatively, a downstairs WC if you don't need an office?

The first thing I would do is switch your light fixture to track lighting. That way you can focus the light onto that wall much like what is done in an art gallery. I also think that may stop the reflection you are getting. I think putting cabinets on the long wall will really close in the space. I would make your red wall your gallery wall. I'd frame everything in white so they "pop" off the wall. The problem with the other wall being the gallery wall is that it's just to narrow. You can't really stand back far enough to see the art.

I'm no architect, but I agree with yours. Instead of large windows in the loft above the garage, what about a high, short, but long window....non opening? Here's some examples

We agree that this would make a great storage/pantry room with some beautiful built in shelves and cabinets. A desk area could work well as well if needed!

Here is an example of a walk-through pantry from a kitchen:
