How big is your kitchen-diner?

[JulieAnderton]

We've seen a house with a 13'x8' kitchen. With a bit of a refit do you reckon this is big enough for a kitchen-diner to save us having to have a table in the living room?

Not sure about feet but ours is 5.5m x 6.5m and is plenty for us.

According to the estate agent's details the kitchen is 3.96x2.44m, so a fair bit smaller than yours.

in our new place (haven't moved in yet but mentally furnishing it) the kitchen is 11'6 x 9'5 ft (3.51x2.87m). It will fit a table but not a big on and it will have to be up against the wall. I'd like dimsum's kitchen please

Our kitchen is 2.5m x 5.2m and we have a small (80cm diameter) round breakfast table at one end and a U-shaped kitchen. Ours wouldn't fit a full dining table I don't think.

A small table up against the wall should be ok - like the Ikea Norden one with drawers. We had that in our old kitchen. We put Hol storage boxes as bench seating on two sides of one of the corners of the kitchen, then put high horizontal cupboards above those. So storage in the boxes and in the cupboards, and we put the table half down and used it as extra worktop space. I really miss it.

our kitchen is 27ft x 10ft (we have had it extended) before it was 14ft x 10ft)

just looked at details from our previous house kitchen was 13ft 9 x 8ft 8.
Units were fitted in an L shaped. We had a 5ft rectangular table in there but it had to be pushed up in the corner so could only sit 2 sides of the table. (3 people) we had it as breakfast table as we had another dining room

Think the kitchen you are thinking of would be ok with a small 4 seater but not any bigger.

Personally i would have it as a kitchen only. hope this helps

what about having a kitchen with a breakfast bar - and having a coffee table that changes into a dining table for the odd time you want to have dinner guests over ? (dwell do a fab coffee table / dining table ) you will need to keep a few chairs folded up somewhere ( under stairs ?! ) but would mean you can have a fab kitchen and informal family eating in there too ?!

I think keeping it as a reasonable sized kitchen is probably the best idea, although I do like TheWookiesWife idea of having a breakfast bar.

Might go and view the house again to consider our options.

Our old one was that size. Had units only halfway down one side, then a 4-seater table next to the wall. A table.that folds down to a 2-seater might be useful.

Julie, I've just bought a house with a kitchen diner that sort of size. It feels big enough. The units are in an L shape, along one of the short walls and half of one of the long ones, and the table is at the other end. We bought an extending table, so it takes up less space day-to-day but we can still comfortably seat 8 people on occasions.
