Hello, we are still in the planning phase, and I would like to benefit from the experiences of those who have already been through this.
A very important point in our considerations is the kitchen. Almost all the design ideas and floor plans we find tend to feature rather small kitchens, open-plan, sometimes under 10 sqm (100 sq ft), with the dining area in the living room naturally being sufficiently large.
Personally, I’m not a fan of the open kitchen concept. I want a closed kitchen. Also, I want the option to have a dining table in the kitchen that can seat four people. The dining corner doesn’t have to be very large. However, I want the possibility to have breakfast in the kitchen so that I don’t end up with a messy living room every morning after eating with two small children.
But a kitchen of 10 sqm (100 sq ft) probably won’t be enough for this.
If you have a dining table in your kitchen, how big is it, and how large is your entire kitchen? I’m also happy to be inspired by photos.
Or am I overestimating the importance of being able to eat in the kitchen?

Hmm, I can’t quite picture it. But by partition wall, do you mean a solid wall rather than just a room divider?
In the floor plan we currently prefer, the kitchen would be 12.65 sqm (136 sq ft) and rectangular in shape. There is an option to extend it to almost 15 sqm (161 sq ft) by widening the house. However, I am still unsure if that would be enough space to fit a sufficiently sized kitchen (supposed to be a “standard” L-shaped kitchen unit) while still leaving room for a small dining table with seating for four...

nordanney18 Jul 2016 11:10We had a small kitchen measuring about 12 square meters (130 square feet), slightly rectangular in shape. The kitchen was arranged on two sides in an L-shape.
There was also a 160 cm (63 inch) table by the window that could comfortably seat five people (2x2 and one person at the head, if needed). Despite this, the kitchen was still very functional with enough space available. However, there was no room left to place an additional cabinet or similar furniture.

It always depends on the room’s proportions, the position of windows and doors, and so on. A room measuring 2 x 6 m (6.5 x 20 ft) will hardly be suitable for an L-shaped kitchen layout plus a table for four people, while a 3 x 4 m (10 x 13 ft) room is more likely to work... although both are 12 square meters (129 square feet). However, a functional kitchen can also be designed in a 2 x 6 m (6.5 x 20 ft) space.
Also, in a 3 x 4 m (10 x 13 ft) room, having doors centered on both 4 m (13 ft) walls makes the space harder to use than a 3 x 4 m (10 x 13 ft) room with only one door on one of the 3 m (10 ft) walls.
Then there are very individual requirements regarding the kitchen, kitchen equipment, work surfaces, and so forth.
Understood? Square meter figures say very little or nothing meaningful in this context.
