Design help please

5 years ago

So I was staring at my floor plan last night bc that is my happy place and realized I probably needed to expand my cubby area down a foot in order to fit my needs so from 5 feet wide to 6 feet giving me 4 cubbies 18 inches wide. Do you think this will give me enough room? Also that leaves my pantry 5’ 3” by 8’4“ I would love any Input from someone with this size pantry or any advice on how I should lay it out. Thank you in advance I’m so overwhelmed with all the decisions. I have also attatched some inspo pictures I liked.

First of all, realize many of the dimensions on your drawings are to the centerline of the walls; so a 5'-0" dimension may mean face of drywall to face of drywall may only be 4'-7 1/2". It is a deceptive practice that I avoid.

So to answer your question, "Do you think this will give me enough room?", Not as much as you think it does.

You may want to post all floor plans and exterior elevations for valuable input, but as always . . .

WARNING: Posting your entire floor plan opens you up to facts you may not want to know, but should. Be prepared for suggestions that will make for a better design. Keep a thick skin, open mind, sense of humor, and a glass of wine within arms reach. You may not enjoy it, but everyone else will and you will be better off in the long run if you heed well the advice.
