Window placement in newly renovated dining room
Comments (1)Pics would help, but from what you've described I personally wouldn't mess with the exterior window alignment. Very few windows in my home are centered in the room and my DR window is off-center toward the corner. I would think with the right window treatment and furniture placement you could make the windows work in the room....See MoreNew build kitchen for 7!!! Help with appl. placement...
Comments (14)I can understand it better, now, sjhockeyfan, thanks. mrshalf, is this the proposed layout or current? We really need more info in order to help you. Have you already paid for your plan? If so the plan is yours to share as you wish. Anything else and I am just not sure. More questions, though...blfelton is right, you cannot fit two full fridge/freezers on that short wall. Why can the cooktop not go on that wall and the fridge/freezer on the opposite wall? If your kitchen will open into a great room you may still have room for an island but you would have to reorient it so that it does not interfere with traffic from the doorway. You also said cooktop, but where will your oven go? 36" cooktop or 30"? Here is just a quickie mockup, given the dimensions you provided, a 36" cooktop and wall ovens besides two fridges. A 36x48 island will work just fine in that space, there is 42" between wall ovens and island and cooktop and island. Depending on how much you want to impede traffic pattern you could flip it 90 degrees and extend it. Just for the record, I am NOT recommending this layout, just trying to get a handle on your space and give you a visual on what you are trying to accomplish. If you click the link to the plan you can assume it as your own and tweak it 'tl your heart's content. Here is a link that might be useful: quickie footprint layout...See MoreCouch/seating placement for new build?
Comments (5)Hi Jennifer, so sorry about the fire! You have a very large space that will fit a lot of furniture. You can place the sofa in an L shape facing the wall opposite the kitchen. This way, TV can be viewed from kitchen as well as dining. You can easily accommodate some storage along with a large dining table in the dining area. The corner to the left can actually be used to place a console table as an entryway or you could also make it a seating spot as its right next to the window. Upload more pictures of your furniture and I could help you more with this. All these images have been rendered from an interactive 3D build of your specific room, so I could easily add any furniture preferences you may have....See MoreSuggestions for kitchen appliance placement for new build
Comments (24)I'd likely want to put the refrigerator where the "P" ?pantry? is now located so you're not bumping the corner of the island to reach the firdge from the stove. Putting at least a narrow countertop on each side of the refrigerator can give you a place to set items taken out of it. Definitely would NOT want the HEAT of the oven(s) (or stovetop) adjacent to the fridge. -- put at least a 16"-18" countertop between them. You're sink appears to be at a window at an outside wall? That is a long way to walk from fridge to sink. Any tiny prep sink in that huge island is going to end up being used a lot more because of that. How many people do you need to seat? You might consider a narrower "L" shaped island or even a [ shaped island to create a more conversation friendly space at the bar (with more elbow room for each person as well)....See More- PRO

7 months agoWithout knowing answers to the questions posed above, I'd consider this, using 3 windows of equal size, and the same size as the smaller windows used on the front wall.
The circle is simply a way to show the wall space is about equal from the window on each wall to the corner.
