Hallway leading to open kitchen -Advice needed

Hi all,

We (me and my husband) are moving to a new house (a resale property) . We like everything about the house, but we have a design issue.

A narrow hallway entrance of the house directly leads to the open kitchen.

I am trying to find a solution to avoid the situation of all guests (and even family) needing to pass the kitchen to enter living room and rest of the house.





Currently I can think of 2 options:

1. Remove the door between hallway and kitchen , and place an L shape room divider to separate the kitchen and kind of extend the hallway, so that entry leads to the living room.

.



2.We also have a backyard entrance, which we would normally use to bring in bikes etc. We could make that as a primary entrance as the backyard opens directly to the living room.But making it as a primary entrance is not enforceable,esp during winters and rains (we live in Netherlands).


If anyone has a better solution or ideas , I would be keen to hear.

We are open to small renovations, but do not want to move or renovate the kitchen completely
