Like you I have a small kitchen/dining/living area, with two large sets of bifolds onto a deck. Luckily there is a short wall between the two sets of doors which we have a drop leaf table up against. On our other walls there is a large built in book case and fireplace so the only wall for a sofa is the side wall beneath a bank of windows, very tight and I could do with a dining room extension but will have to see as at the moment I am looking at the possibility of a studio outside for my painting.Lee Caroline - A World of Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775174736286159146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657584931582605265.post-82313490901236658022015-05-28T08:57:45.021+12:002015-05-28T08:57:45.021+12:00Hey Lee, waving at you from Melbourne.

I think with open plan (especially in a smaller place) it's important not to have too much stuff, also maybe smaller scale chairs/sofa - In our family room/kitchen area is quite small and we have the problem of too many windows! and not enough wall space. b/c of the lack of windows i've no where to put a table up against and the furniture i'm embarrassed to say while lovely i purchased the chairs too big in size.<br /><br />Jane Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604351917859131508noreply@blogger.com
