Unfortunately I can't because it's currently under demo and the walls haven't been removed yet. It's not really much to see.

Just trying to figure out kitchen cabinets and furniture layouts before the demo is completed.

Hi Felipe, I'm Neha. I created a mock up of your room and came up with the following layout.Positioned your kitchen on wall B with an L shaped counter. Your living will be best suited on wall C as your entry will lead there. I have given your media on wall B. This way your TV can be viewed from every side of your room. Keep the space near the railing free so you can have an eye on your kids playing downstairs. Don't crowd the place with more storage. Keep it light and open for easy movement.

I could easily swap things around in this mock up if you want anything changed here. Hope this helps.

Wow that looks like some very good ideas. Maybe I'm missing it but I'm not seeing the refrigerator in the pictures?

You can place the refrigerator in the corner where the tall unit is currently place. Do let me know if you'd like this to be further customized and we can work on more mock ups.

How tall are your ceilings? I worry that a very large space with low ceilings might seem like a bunker. The lovely renderings above appear to have high ceilings. if you have 8’ ceilings I might break up the space somehow. do a “semi open” plan

We have 8 ft ceilings.

i wish I was a designer to help you with ideas. Hiring one might be a good investment. All I know is we had a big room with 8’ ceilings in our old place and it was the most depressing room. With lower Ceilings the space can’t really feel “big”. But coziness was also not possible because of the size. The ceiling also felt lower because of the proportions. Your stairway might help a little As it gives some vertical structure

I might think about not making the room quite so big. Maybe a walk in pantry for the kitchen could take up some room and humanize the space

Some additional possible design ideas:

Another set of design ideas:

I feel option A is better among all, except for the play area because you will be having a whole room downstairs for that. And maybe move the dining a little to the left near the window. You can add a partition to divide the room into living and dining and mount tv on it. Place a storage unit /crockery unit behind the partition.

I would still recommend you to opt for the layout shown in the 3d renders as its quiet functional and space is best-made use of. Maybe instead of a tv on the wall, you can use a media partition to divide the living and the dining. The wall along the kitchen can be used to place storage units or shelving.

Let me know if you need me to do more 3D layout to help you visualize better.

I'm not fully sure I understand what you mean by media partition. By storage units along the kitchen wall do you mean cabinets?

Some sort of layout or 3d model would be best since I'm not terribly visual.

I appreciate all your guidance and help.

I highly recommend you spend some time and thought with your kitchen layout. Go to the kitchen forum, find the thread called "read me first" (usually on the 1st or 2nd page) and follow those instructions to post your needs for kitchen design. You'll get lots of great help, and you'll end up with a kitchen that will function well for your family.

But this is more than just a kitchen with living and dining also included. Would that forum still be helpful for that?

@Felipe Seiber I will surely get back to you in a day or two with another layout to help you better.
