Hi everyone,

I’m about to begin renovating a 1930s semi in the UK and trying to work out the best layout for the kitchen/dining area.

Current situation:

•	Narrow galley kitchen (4.22m x 2.39m)

•	Separate dining room (5.37m x 3.49m) with sliding doors to the garden

•	I’m considering removing the wall between them to create an open kitchen diner.

My questions:

1.	Should the kitchen stay roughly where it is now or move into the dining room space?

2.	Would an island work in a room this width?

3.	Where would you place the dining table relative to the garden doors?

Any layout ideas or sketches would be hugely appreciated.

Floor plan and photos attached.
