Comments (4)I will look to see if I have a floor plan, but if not, how would i go about creating one for you. I know I sound like an idiot but obviously I am clueless as to this kind of stuff and wish my husband would just let me hire a decorator lol! However, he just now gave me another big fat NO to hiring one lol! So needless to say, I am going to have to learn how to do this on my own and asking for help, however annoying I may be, is the only thing I know to do! So I apologize in advance for my ignorance! I will look for the floor plan! Thanks for responding!...See MoreHelp with open concept living/dining/kitchen furniture placement
Comments (3)Regarding the window that faces your neighbor, if you want to take advantage of the natural light you may want to get sheers. The size dining table will depend on how many people you usually have sitting there to eat. My dining table has a leaf in it, in case I need to expand it. I find that very helpful. A round table will be easier to get around than a square or rectangular one. An oval one may be even better. Depends on your needs. A chaise is very pretty, but I don't know how practical it is. I personally like more space to move around in than stuff. You have to consider the amount of space you have to work with. Try to make lighting an important part of your plan. I like a table lamp or wall sconce in each corner at chest height....See Morefloor plan ideas/open concept/ awkward

Comments (18)I agree with the comment about the vaulted ceiling covering the entire space. If you want an open concept, make it open. Just my experience building kitchens and a family that likes to cook. And a little bit of learning about air handling. An open concept is easier to manage air flow. There are mechanical advantages. Comfort. Working space near. Kinda hurt my feelings at first as a cabinet builder to buy a new working counter with roll out drawers under the top. Wood top 2 x 5 foot. On wheels. Practically won out. Having a mobile working space in an open concept kitchen, pantry, living room. Just may need a wheel chair some day. Windows are placed where there are nice views....See Moremytwo cents
