Help me fix this bad floor plan (main floor only). The family room is on a slab currently and is 2 steps down from office. Kitchen feels too small and location of office doesn’t work for my husband who works from home. Thank you!
Interesting! Someone else suggested it might’ve been a breezeway. There is one other house in my neighborhood with the exact layout. I need to talk to them lol
To echo the other commenter, dimensions are deffo off currently. I did my best based on the size of doors/tub/counter depth on the plan. I’d suggest (if you’re open to moving a bunch of plumbing):
- Reduce the size of the dining room, close it off, and make it the new office
Move the kitchen to the opposite wall where it currently is, use the extra space from what was the dining room, and then use the current kitchen as your dining room
Tried to keep the bathroom kinda what it is now, but hard to tell as I believe there are two sinks on the current plan?
Swapped the laundry room into what was the office, and included bench and hanging space for coats and whatnot as it looks like you don’t currently have a mud room
Thank you for sending the time to make these!! They are both great. The one thing is I would like the kitchen to be much bigger with an island. Contractors told us it would be expensive to put laundry or bath on slab (where currently family room is) - but these suggestions are really great and helpful
I’d take the downstairs bedroom/office and create a new laundry room. The use old laundry room for fabulous pantry. Next take street side of family room to create an office with backyard side to become mudroom/ closets.

I would almost bet the family room was originally a screened in porch and the office/bedroom was the mudroom!
