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?

Hello,
our closed kitchen is also “only” 12m² (129 ft²), but we still placed great importance on having a dining table for 4 people, simply because we don’t always want to carry everything into the living room for breakfast or snacks.
Our kitchen is L-shaped, not huge, but sufficient for me. The table is 120cm (47 inches) long and can be extended if needed (although then only one half of the two-panel patio door could still be opened). I like it this way and would choose the same setup again after almost a year of use.
But as others have already mentioned, it always depends on the layout of the room. It works well for us, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case for you.
If you’re interested, I can gladly send you the link to my blog where I have photos of our kitchen layout.

Teyla, always happy to have the link!! I’ll try to upload a floor plan later on the PC, although so far we don’t have a draft created on the PC that might include any changes.
Paper? Pencil? ... And measurements on your drawing, that’s absolutely enough!
