So the problem is I'm stationed in the Uk for military reasons and doing a gut rehab on a 1890s home. Most of the current floorplan is ok, it adds a little charm to house.
However I'm having the most trouble in the kitchen/dinning room areas a and the master suite.
I am in the last phase for my 203k loan, so I have a general contractor already in the works but the design vision is limited.
I know I should get on board with an architect but I only need them for structure design in the floor plan and my GC can do the work (There are no structural changes but I need designs for built-ins, porch, deck, and effectively combine two or more rooms).


The same for interior design. Help with where to place lighting, appliances, bathrooms, closets, etc.
Is just having the pro draw up plans an option? Or am I way off with my thinking. It best to go with an Architect who company also has Interior Design?
Please help!

Below are pictures of current floor plan, tho the exact dimension aren't spot on.
