Avoid placing the kitchen close to the front door.
Front door walks into kitchen.
This applies only to a floor plan where you literally come into the home through the kitchen.
Can you incorporate a false wall in front of the door long enough so you can put a entrance table this will help to distinguish between the different rooms.
That is i think undesirable on various different levels.
Regardless of whether they see the kitchen upon entering the front door in ten steps they will be standing right in the middle of it.
To work straight into a kitchen is not always the best idea this might also not go down well with re sale value.
We too have to walk out of the kitchen and through the living room to reach the grill.
I am wanting to renovate my long house but not sure how it will look walking straight into the kitchen dining area then on to the lounge area.
Any thoughts or design ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I think the bigger concern is that after entering the house visitors have no choice but to walk directly into the kitchen.
It does not apply when the kitchen is set back further in the floor plan and is partially seen.
My kitchen is on the front of the house.
You enter the house in a foyer and the dining room is on the right.
