rdnest 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 Wah nice wide kitchen. Are you hacking the storeroom door? Just a suggestion I think the TV should be on the opposite wall. The walking space between yout shoe cabinet and sofa now is very narrow and the space in front of it is quite narrow too. If you move your tv to the opp wall, then extend your shoe cabinet you can place your sofa further from the TV leaving more leg space for your coffee table.. mm wow, pinkpetter. U r really good leh. can go into ID liao. Me agree with ur suggested layout too. Will make the living area less congested, better flow too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeegi 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Did you consider putting the table outside the kitchen so that it won't be so hot? My mom's old house layout is the same and it's really hot after she cooks and we have to eat in the heat... just 2 cents worth of my comments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mom's old house layout is the same and it's really hot after she cooks and we have to eat in the heat... just 2 cents worth of my comments I agree but putting the dining table in the living room will be abit cram. How about building a wall or glass partition to seperate the current kitchen into 2 portion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) i also agree, try not to eat in kitchen, very hot n stuffy. can shorten the kitchen n create a dining room at ur dining table area? I saw someone with half wall/half glass parition, makes ur dinning room looks cozy and yet not too cramp w the see-thru glass.

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 IMHO only Wah say even drawn out liao le. *pai seh very long never come in to see* hehehe This layout is better for moving about. even if you want your sofa nearer with a space behind for walking it's also ok. As for the dining table.. I think in the kitchen is fine ba. unless you are the sort who needs A LOT of cabinets and moving space otherwise... make top and bottom cabinets but halfway only. so that when you put the dining table it wun be too squeezy...

tower 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2009 For the creation of the dining room portion, perhaps you can do something similar like my house whereby you hacked amd shift back back the kitchen wall. Then do a tempered glass screen so that your kitchen wouldn't look too small and still allow the light to pass through. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
