We will shortly be looking to redo our kitchen. A few year ago we had our utility room moved and haven't done anything with the space other than put a sideboard into it. DH wants to knock down the wall between the kitchen and the current dumping ground family room (to the right of the plan as you look at it (the room is about 3m x 3m and has a set of french doors opening to the back the same as the dining bit does and it also has a door going from the room into the living room at the front of the house. Technically it is the dining room but has never been used as such. It was the kids play room when they were little. DH uses it as a 2nd study but it's really just a gatherer of crap.
We have a another upstairs dumping ground (spare bedroom) that can be cleared to accommodate a 2nd study.
I'm not really sure what to do. It's not a particularly small house by new build standards but because it has a lot of separate rooms none of which are very big, it doesn't have a feeling of space. The upstairs feels smaller as is doesn't go over the garage, only to the bit where the kitchen meets current dining area. So it would be nice to have a big open bit.
Also the door from the new utility has never been turned so opens into the kitchen. We have a larger than normal fridge freezer on the piece of wall between the door to the utility and the arch through to the dining area.
Anyone have any ideas?
