We are very undecided on whether to take out the wall between our kitchen and dining room. Dining room is lovely big square room and think having it separate will be useful when kids are older (currently 3 under 5). But kitchen will not be quite big enough with a table in if we don't knock through, and we would have to lose a boot room/utility.
(Have separate lounge and upstairs laundry).
Thinking about having internal French doors or pocket doors between the two rooms. Then could have island/breakfast bar in kitchen and table, sofa and doors to garden in dining room. Would keep them open most of time but option to close if having people for dinner/kids doing separate things. Would also allow us to have different flooring in each room (would like to keep original boards in dining room but not sensible in kitchen)
Is this a terribly old fashioned idea? Would it put you off buying a house, is a big kitchen diner more desirable?
Doors would be this kind of thing...
