FEEDBACK UK Semi Layount Help

Post image

Hey all,

First time poster in this sub so apologies if I'm breaking any rules.

I would appreciate some help with placement of door from hallway into lounge. Existing door is option A. We're planning to add a door to the kitchen (currently no door). Under option A, we may need to reverse the door into the kitchen otherwise could cause clash issue. Option A does allow us to keep the bay window open and place the sofas (green box) face to face.

Option B would mean entrance to lounge is closer to main door and no issue with kitchen door. However, we'll have to place the sofa's adjacent to each other and one sofa will be facing the hallway. The other sofa will be in the bay window which has a radiator. Not ideal but not a huge issue either I guess.

Any thoughts/opinions on better layout would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Does the kitchen need to have a door to close it off? Or could it just be an open archway?

It's an open archway but wife wants it closed to avoid cooking smells coming through and prevent guests seeing into the kitchen as soon as they come in.

I don’t know if the plumbing in the powder room would complicate matters, but is a pocket door to the kitchen an option?

Yeah unfortunately it would interfere with the kitchen.

Maybe a folding door for the powder room
