We have a bit of a fixer upper house. Finally have renovated the living room and playroom, but next on the list is the dining room.
It’s currently a separate room to the kitchen (both decent sized), but with a door between them.
I’m swithering as to whether we should keep the dining room separate or open it up to the kitchen. Opening it up to the kitchen will be expensive and I’m not sure if I could face all the work. Both rooms as very dated, so if we knock them through it would mean both rooms would need refurbished, so looking at up to £30k rather than just £1k to decorate the dining room just now, and another £20k ish in the future to do the kitchen up.
So, can I be cheeky and ask your thoughts on open plan kitchen dining; do you prefer this, or do you prefer a separate dining room.
Yanbu: open the two rooms up into one
YABU: keep them separate
