So i'm doing up my new (old battered) house and would like some layout help for the ground floor. I've decided to alter the layout a bit as my mum will likely be moving in with me and she is elderly and has occasional mobility problems.
I've attached a rough sketch and wanted help on:
Front room 1 - Lounge/Diner
- the picture shows a wall between the two rooms but I wondered if I should keep these rooms separate as per the picture or have a large door which would open out the two rooms into almost one large living space.
Positives? Potential of a large living space end-to-end almost.
Negatives? Can't place a sofa either side where the door would be? Also, the lounger/diner has a tall angled ceiling (not sure what these are called??) and the front room has a traditional flat ceiling so walking from one to another could look odd?
Kitchen/WC
There is a rather long WC next to the kitchen - I could potentially reduce this in length and add some space to the kitchen? Or should I leave the kitchen square shaped as it is?
Spare bed / shower room at back
This is designed for my mum.
Any other thoughts?
