Time crunch-Please help me design my first floor…at my wits end
Hi all,
I am renovating the first floor of my home. My home is a colonial revival. It is in total, around 2000 square feet, so pretty small.
Presently, I am struggling with the size of the pantry. It feels way too big for the house and it feels like the dining room entry will be too small and crowded?
Should I just switch everything around—combine the dining room and kitchen, move the living room to study/sitting room, and move the study to where the dining room is? (This is what my family thinks is best—I’m worried of too much of a modern floor plan and it’s just myself and fiancé who will be living there. We spend much more time on the couch which is why I chose the larger room for that.)
Either if we do repurpose the rooms, we still have the giant pantry/tiny hallway to deal that feels out of place.
Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated!
PS. The architect took a lot of liberties in devoting some of these areas to sitting rooms. We plan to use the sunroom for my painting/light reading/dog washing station/mudroom and the study as a home office, space for books and over floor guest bedroom. We don’t plan to have that many spaces to it hahaha
