Need help for my new house.

12 years ago

The house is still under construction and I need you smart, creative guys to give me ideas how to design my inetriors. I want to prepare myself as early as now. What you see in the picture are my kitchen, dining and living room. It's just a simple bungalow house.

How does the house sit on the property?

Your back door at the kitchen limits your kitchen work/storage space.
You have no refrigerator located.

I would extend the kitchen cabinet/appliance layout by eliminating the doorway between the kitchen and living room. Remove the wall between the eating area and living room from the post to the exterior wall. This will provide you better flexibility and create a larger space which is not as "landlocked".

Yes, a floor plan would be helpful for laying out rooms.

You might want to remove the wall between the kitchen and living room and add more counter space across the back wall so that you have room for a refrigerator and a sink......

I, too, would consider potential of removing wall between dining and living room to provide larger feeling of openness, especially in smaller space. For interiors, concentrate on the size and placement of beds...need to think about what other furniture you want in the rooms and where it will go. Desks for the kids rooms? Night stands and vanity in master?

I agree with Joseph. If you take the wall out and close the door from kitchen to LR you will also remove the view from the front door to the kitchen.

Yes I do have sink and refrigerator of course. We can't live without that. :) and I already made them removed the wall that separates the kitchen and living room. I had some few internet research and it's true that it will create openess of the area. How about the placement of chairs and etc. in the living room? I don't know where to put my TV.

TV probably fits best on porch wall. Sofa facing that. Other option would be sofa facing the right wall with TV on that one. Really depends on which sight views you'd rather be more open. In a small space, you probably want the couch facing the right wall and truly using the openness between living and dining rooms to full advantage.
