Help with layout ideas for kitchen and additional room
Hi everyone! We are planning a kitchen renovation and would love some layout inspiration. We have a 4.9m x 4.6m kitchen space plus an adjacent pool room that we want to utilise better. We are completely open to converting the pool room into a second lounge, formal dining area, bar, or part-pantry. I’ve attached our floor plans with the details:
- Walls: Black walls must stay. Pink walls can be removed.
- Plumbing: The current water point is marked with a blue dot.
- Fireplace: Located in the pool room, marked in orange. We’d like to keep it, but we have another one in the house, so we’re open to removing it for the perfect layout.
- Pantry: We have marked "Optional spaces" that could potentially become a walk-in pantry.
We are really struggling to make this tricky space work smoothly and really need help with a kitchen layout and ideas for the additional room. Any layout ideas or design inspiration would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Comments (9)Good that the heat/air system is over the door and doesn't interfere with your decor too much. It appears the ceiling fixture to the right of the FP might indicate that the dining space is there. Put a sofa in front of the FP and two small accent chairs with it, facing each other over a round glass coffee table. Can you wall mount the TV left of the FP? I think the room is too narrow to put the TV above the FP - you'll strain your neck. If you mount it opposite the FP, a sofa and two chairs could work but will need to be small scale - try apartment-sized seating. The sofa could face the window with the chairs opposite it. You could turn to see the fire or to watch TV. Swivel chairs come in handy in such tight space....See Moreideas for lights for family room/play room in bungalow
Comments (8)Despite previous opinions I have to say this - DON'T GET DOWN LIGHTS!!!! We had them in our previous home. They were constantly blowing no matter what kind of bulb used. The casings kept breaking. This meant we couldn't just change the bulb ourselves. It drove me mental. They spotlight certain parts of a room instead of lighting the whole room so when one of our main "culprits" kept blowing in the kitchen, I had no lighting above that bench until we could get an electrician in. More than one electrician told us they are a serious fire hazard. I will never have them again!...See MoreAwkward bathroom - needs a complete makeover and new layout. Ideas?
Comments (6)Third vote for getting a professional involved, but i'll still offer my layman's suggestion given that you're just soliciting general ideas at this point. If it was my space, I'd switch the bathroom and the laundry room around, keeping just one of the walls currently enclosing the toilet. Its hard to estimate precise measurements from the drawing, so it may not be feasible, but here's what i mean...See MoreHelp! Needing ideas for awkward corner in kitchen
Comments (3)Hi Helen. I thought I might share photos of my kitchen- which happens to be on a farm- as the layout is very similar to yours. We planned to do white subway tiles (and still might as we are just doing the bathrooms with the tiles and will see what we have left...) but used clear coated cement board as a temporary measure and find it quite serviceable as we haven't finished the kitchen. We did the open shelves first and then added bits and pieces of shelving afterwards. These are white washed Douglas Fir. The shelves just below the temporary ply bench top (going to do polished concrete benchtops later) are lined with galvanised tin. The lazy Susan in the corner cupboards are really handy! Hope these photos might be of interest. It's a very serviceable kitchen work in progress!...See More- 12 days ago

another variation but specific dimensions of the whole house and information about orientation, residents' lifestyle and local climate could suggest other options
