We are planning to knock through to make a single big room for kitchen/breakfast room, with doors into the garden
We trying to decide what 'zones' we need.
Obviously kitchen/ cooking area, and table/eating area.
However the kids are 7 & 10 and I can see that as they get older we/they might use the space for different things. We've been thinking about all the following:
- breakfast bar area on end of kitchen units
- flat screen TV - where? Kitchen bit or in table area?
- do we need soft chair/ sofa area?
- what about a combined TV/PC instead - I find I'm using PC more and more for 'kitchen' stuff (recipes/ food ordering etc), also ti might be useful for kids' homework within 'supervision' range.
If you have this sort of space, can you tell me how you use it...
- what works?
- what's a waste of space?
- what do you most wish you'd designed in, but didn't?
Tell me about how your family uses the space please!
