it's depend on the width of your window / sliding glass door vesus the wall, normally it should be 2 to 3 inches longer on each side than your glass doors minimum.

You definitely can go full width to fit the wall of 2.9m, it should be fine too.

can take a look at https://getinteriordesignonline.com

since you plan to remain the developer kitchen cabinet untouched, there is not much can do to dramatically modified the kitchen layout to make fully use of it.

Here is some ideas I suggest for you. Can consider doing a open vertical shelving at the protruding piping service wall to make sure of the narrow space to put some food products or seasoning.

Then doing a simple box shelving for the portable oven like the diagram I did for you below:

hope this help!

after analysis about your concern on fungshui to block the direct view of balcun=ony from main entrance and also the space around the existing kitchen area, this is what I will suggest you to arrange the furniture.

I think you can consider merging the dining and kitchen area into one multi activities zone. Thus, you can have dining table next to a small island counter and then place all kitchen cabinet and full height cabinet for storage on the right wall.

With this space planning, you can ensure your home won't feel tight and also an uninterrupt walking flow around these areas.

Cheers!

Hi, it is really an unthoughtful design layout from the developer I will also said.

I will suggest you to remove the left portion of existing counter and redo a new L shape and full height cabinet to cater for more practical cooking area.

You will need to remove the existing window on the left and do a new window for sufficient natural light on the cooking area.

Hope this help!

this bathroom size is not big, so I would say your plan of having 2x 12W downlight, and 1x 10W spotlight for the toilet bowl area is sufficient.

if you have a concealed light behind the mirror cabinet will be even better!

Due the width of the kitchen and dining space, I will suggest you put the island ideas aside, as island needs more space for walkway and seating zone area it.

In order to maximize the storage units to solve the constraints on small kitchen areas, I suggest you can do a full height 450mm depth cabinet in front of bedroom 3 wall. You can do a concealed door into the bedroom 3 for better look if needed.

As for master bedroom, the aircon unit can be relocated to the bathroom wall, yet you will need to consult air con contractor to survey the existing ceiling structure to double check the relocating possibility.

Here is the layout I suggest for you, cheers!

Interesting! If you wish to spend minimum cost and don't need much additional storage cabinets, this is one option I can suggest you.

Adding a 3 tiers design element from bottom to top as below:

- concealed light trough, help to light up further the area since the double ceiling height downlights might not enough the brighten up the area
- additional row of storaga or just black color gymsum board box up, to make the cabinet design look propotional and completed
- reflective color glass or mirror panellings, to create interesting "virtual space extension" to make the area appear wider and also help to reflect the lights into the area.

Hope this help!

No sure the reason you only got 1 10W spotlight and 1 12W downlight for the bathroom, just 2 lights will not enough to light up the bathroom.

your earlier intention to have 2x 12W downlight ( main light to light up the area), and 1x 10W spotlight ( light up wc area ) is more appropriate arrangement.

Cheers!

This is either honed or natural finish.

honed finish is a smooth and matted finish look.

while natural finish is basically the natural stone look without any treatment.

You can also check with the stone supplier, as sometime, different supplier called them different name, hope this help!

If you are not doing any extension, then you will need to get rig of 1 of the 2 wall cabinets in order to fit in a island there as you can see in this diagram.

Cheers!

Sorry, I thought I have attach the diagram for you just now. Here you go, this is the layout with dimension I suggest, hope this help !

Hi sorry for late reply, I am busy completing my design drawings lately.

Yes for sure, you can demolish the existing wall and door that separate the kitchens and replacing it with new glass sliding door.

I suggest you can consider doing a full height storage cabinet right at the middle of the sliding door so you can close the sliding door tightly to keep out of cooking smoke from wet kitchen. This will looks nice and wider too while keep the sliding door opened to one side.

yes why not, it depend on how is your back yard layout, window types, structural element positions of columns and beams and also the roof design ultimately.

can consider a Retractable Clothes hanger in the dry area if you plan to have cloth drying area next to wet kitchen. This way you can can the dry area at the same time as storage area or laundry area.

since your kitchen entry opening is 900mm and the cabinet is 600mm depth, you need to have 2 nos of 450mm slidiing door then only can slide them in between and flash to the 2 full height cabinet.

I will said make the sliding door to slide and rest on the full height cabinet is a better choice, can ask contractor doing a 1 inch recessed vertical gap on the full height cabinet so the sliding door can closed gapless onto the cabinet.

Here is the simple layout I suggest for you, it still depend on the appliances you have and how you use the kitchen and bar area, you will need to adjust according to your preference.

Hope this help!

can you upload your house plan then I can only understanding and help you up, as different house layout, orientation, courtyard size will affect how a find a good layout and space planning.

You're welcomed.

looking at the plan you uploaded, the back yard only has around 10ft depth of land to the boundary line, are you sure you have 1500sqft land behind, can upload some site photos.
