Kitchen layout

Hi there, we are looking at doing a renovation which in part will open up our existing kitchen/lounge/dining area.

Any creative people for any ideas? We are not looking at anything extravagant but good functional space. On the plans we had Buttlers pantry but to be honest think I would prefer to close off this doorway and keep the laundry area as a study. Would like to have a small dining area, small sitting sea in this space. Any suggestions? It is a family home which we intend to stay long term.

Thanks

Lindsay

Existing plan

New plan

Anyone know of a paid service for floor plan assistance, preferably that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg? I could just get a kitchen company out I guess..
