This is what I suggest for you.

Try to zone out each main areas then paint one full stretch of selected wall with your favorite grey color will do the work.

Can pm me the existing house plan and details, will see if we can help!

Can you upload the existing house plan over here, as the kitchen location, shape and position of doors and windows will affects the kitchen island arrangement indeed.

Hi analysis your home layout, since the kitchen is considerably small, I will suggest you combine the kitchen and dining area into One.

Which means, instead of having separate dining table set, why not do a bar counter at the middle of front area near entrance. You can treat this bar counter as both kitchen counter and also dining table.

With this arrangement, the traffic flow around the areas will still quite smooth and unobstructed.

Also since you are light cooker, you might not need a large kitchen cabinet too. A small basin cabinet beside the fridge will be good enough for your family daily usage.

Hope this help. Cheers!

Most of the fluted wall panel in the market are made with wpc, that is wood plastic composite. wpc is not a real wood, which means they are not so flexible in customization and modification once installed.

So I suggest you can do a removable timber panel as I did on the image below with the black timber panel. With this, you solve the issue on rewiring the tv an sound system in long term shall you need to in future.

Hope this help

If your kitchen is open kitchen concept which mean the kitchen, dining and living are visually interconnected. So I will suggest try to use the same lighting with same color.

My personal preference will be using cool white lighting 4000k throughout these areas, yet you can still having one or two accent spot light or eyeball lights to light up certain corner or small area you need brighter lighting ambience like small reading corner or kitchen island or bar counter.

This arrangement will looks nice!

Can you upload the existing plan for your house as well, as it will be clearer as a reference for me to suggest a suitable kitchen layout for you.

I will say since you need floor trap for washing machine water discharge purpose, it will be practical to place washing machine next to the kitchen basin.



Here is the layout I suggest for you.

ps. I found a plan on the net, seems like similar to yours i reckoned.

Sure you can do this also and Yes you will need to get authority approval for this.

Maybe you can consider shorten the existing toilet to make the rear kitchen area larger.

With this, you can put the washing machine and basin on the right hand wall, the cooker hob near the rear window and the refrigerator near the kitchen entry area.

As for light temperature, it is depend on your personal preference in fact. I will suggest either 6000k or 4500k, as 3000k will produce too warm and dark light ambience for a heavy cooking session in the kitchen which normally need a brighter lighting conditions.

Cheers!

I suggest you do a full height partition near master bedroom door then park the dining table there with wall bench.

This way you can have a nice kitchen layout with island and ensure smooth traffic flow around these areas.

Hope this help!

I think since the back area only has 5ft width, if you go for glass roof, it will definitely quite hot under it.

May be can consider aluminum composite roof instead and also allow 12 ft length ( full 22 ft even better ) x 6ft height upper ventilation opening right under the roof ( with m/s grills ) for heat outflow and cool air inflow to keep the wet kitchen in acceptable temperature for cooking.

since you are touch the existing walls and doing new walls, you will need to get the authority approvals.

Sorry for typing mistake, should be 12 ft length ( full 22 ft even better ) x 2ft height upper ventilation opening right under the roof

5'x 20' is considered a long and narrow area for wet kitchen, here is my suggestion for you as an ideas & direction you can explore and see if it fit your needs and budget.

By redo the back toilet, you can have a better layout for wet and dry kitchen, hope this help!

If base on the size of your kitchen, the kitchen cabinet will already take 11.5K to 14K from your budget, which mean you only left around 8K max of your 20K total budget to do the rest of works.

So may be I suggest you can consider IKEA kitchen cabinet and also getting ready made furniture for wardrobes and storage cabinets can be the options for you, cheers!

I would say 3 spot lights per track at master and 2 spot lights per track at bedroom 3 is good enough to light up the bed head areas, as you also have additional downlights in these bedrooms.

For Living room, you might consider a rectangular tracking with 8 spot lights as per attached diagram due to the 12.5 ft x 16ft living size, yet it all depend on how bright you prefer for the living room, if you ok with medium brightness for better tv watching ambience then ok to remain your planning on 3 spot lights per tracks.

I will suggest you do a new full height wall at the kitchen area. This will help to prevent you see the kitchen directly every time entering the house.

the new wall also help to provide you a better kitchen layout so you can place the cooker and hood behind the wall. As result, it will have better control on the cooking smoke issue.

Hope this help!
