missterry 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2015 Hello 43atCR,our ID has measured everything quite well. the only con is that when someone is sitting at the dining area, our movements in and out of the kitchen and opening of the fridge door will be slightly impeded.a dining table width of 800mm will fit nicely into the space allocated Going by your Hitachi rvg690p3ms Fridge, your cupboard will have to have a depth more than 740mm (745 perhaps) so that it can allow a coverage for the fridge (fit the fridge within its casing). Are you sure a bulky cupboard would do well for your dining? Also you need the swing space for your fridge door, plus at another least 600-700mm for your dining chair's drag space. Your dining set will have to move more towards the left, thus blocking the entrance of the front door.Unless of course you do not mind chairs to be pushed right under the table whenever you open the fridge or whenever you have someone using that seat, you do not open the fridge doors?Maybe you would like to consider this.

missterry 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Need everyone's adv here. We are in a dilemma on how to cool the dining area without a standing fan.since we are placing dining lights right above, and we are not keen on the ceiling fan+light kit, how else to have our meal without sweating buckets?appreciate all inputs!

wmayeo 1 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Hi, maybe you can consider getting a wall fan. I've installed one in my kitchen since we have a breakfast/quick meal area, really makes a difference. Edited July 12, 2015 by wmayeo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freb 10 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 Where r u placing ur aircon in the living room, place it at the right location will help, unless of course u prefer not to have aircon on while dining.I notice u have a L-shape study table, ask ur id how to open the drawers at the L-corner.Ur sink is right next to the kitchen wall? Consider shift it a little, u need working space (think abt ur elbow & hand movement)Very nice 3D concept, good luck on Reno! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
