You Won’t Believe This Genius Fix for Awkward House Layouts!

Welcome back to my home redesign series! In this episode, I tackle a unique challenge: an end-of-terrace house with a less-than-ideal layout. Imagine having your TV right next to the toilet—it’s a design disaster! Join me as I explore simple yet effective ways to transform this space and make it more functional and inviting.

When I first found this terraced house, I knew several issues needed addressing. The kitchen and living space are nice, but having a toilet directly off this area is less than ideal. Plus, when you enter the house, you can’t see through the garden, making the space feel contained and dark.

My solution? Could you flip the kitchen and utility room to the opposite side and move the toilet to create a more practical layout? By shifting the utility room to where the chimney is, we gain more space and improve the flow of the house. This move also allows us to free up the living area, making it more open and bright.

One of the key changes involves installing a pocket door for the toilet, which saves space and maintains a sleek look. By reconfiguring the kitchen and adding a peninsula, we create a functional barrier between the cooking and living areas while maintaining an open-plan feel.

The result? A beautifully redesigned space that optimises light and flow, turning an awkward layout into a harmonious living environment—all without extending the property.
