Downstairs I have lounge-diner and kitchen as two separate rooms. I really really want to join kitchen and dining 'end' up but can't decide whether one big open plan would be a disaster.
It's L shaped with largish lounge end (approx 5m wide) narrowing into 4m dining area which shoots off to the kitchen but only access here is a hatch. Kitchen (small) is accessed down a corridor through the other end of it.
Possibly I'd block up the door to kitchen from corridor and have one door entering where lounge joins diner ...and open kitchen dining wall up. There is a door into the garden from the lounge.
I could put French doors across between dining and lounge areas but the dining area is short - current table wouldn't fit in remaining space. So realistically it would be best to just open kitchen dining end and leave it all open plan. So my question, if you're still with me, is, does open plan work?
