TEMPLATE PLAN · LIVING SPACE

Open kitchen and living room,
30 m² in plan and in 3D

An L-shaped kitchen, a table for four, a three-seat sofa and a TV stand in a single 30 m² room. The plan shows where to walk, where to put the table and how to define zones without a wall. Look at it in 3D, then copy it to adapt it.

IN THE PLAN

  • 2.20 m L-shaped corner kitchen, fridge at the end of the run
  • 160 cm table and four chairs between kitchen and living area
  • 2.10 m three-seat sofa, coffee table, rug, armchair
  • 1.60 m TV stand, two doors: entrance and hallway

Three zones, one room

The kitchen takes the corner by the window, the table sits between the kitchen and the living area, and the living area faces the opposite wall. The kitchen and the living area each have their own window, and the table gets light from both.

The entrance and the hallway door are on the same wall, at the bottom of the plan: the path between them runs past the chairs and then the sofa, without cutting through the living area, and is 83 cm wide at its narrowest.

The L-shaped kitchen and its clearances

Countertop under the window, a return that closes off the kitchen on the living room side, fridge at the end of the run: everything you go back and forth between while cooking is two steps away. The table stays far enough away to open the dishwasher without pulling out a chair.

  • Countertop under the window
  • Corner return that keeps the kitchen out of the walkway
  • Fridge at the end of the run, within reach of the table

Defining zones without a wall

The back of the sofa marks the line between dining and lounging: you see it as you walk in, you don’t walk through it. The rug outlines the living area on the floor.

To go further, draw a divider between the kitchen and the living area: the room splits into two zones that each keep their own area and flooring. A way to try tile on the kitchen side and hardwood on the living side, and see the result in 3D.

Island or table?

An island needs about a meter of clearance all around. In 30 m² that also has to fit a living area, this plan keeps the table: it’s used for meals and as extra prep space. Above 35 m², an island with stools can replace the table.

The catalog has islands from 1.30 m to 2.70 m: swap out the table on your copy of the plan and see what happens to the walkway.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Opening your kitchen onto the living room

How much space do you need for an open kitchen and living room?
From 25 m², you can fit a single-wall kitchen, a small table and a sofa. Around 30 m², as in this plan, the kitchen can become L-shaped with a proper table for four. Above 35 m², an island becomes possible.
Can I knock down the wall between the kitchen and the living room?
If it’s a partition, yes, generally without paperwork in a private home. If it’s a load-bearing wall, you need a structural engineer to size the support beam and, in an apartment building, approval from the owners’ association. Either way, have the wall checked before you buy the kitchen.
How can I test opening up my kitchen before the work starts?
Draw or copy your plan, delete the partition and rearrange: the 3D view and the tour show the open room. Keep a copy of the current layout in the same project to compare both versions.
Do I need an account to edit the plan?
Yes, a free account: the plan is copied into your space, where you can edit it and come back to it. No credit card. Without an account, you can already view it in 2D, in 3D and on the tour on this page.
