The kitchen was only 10 x 11 in size and, with the false ceiling overhead, felt a little crammed for space. Our solution was to remove part of the wall that used to separate the dining room and the kitchen. The actual kitchen space wouldn't be bigger - it would be about the same as we intend to borrow a bit of space from the family living room - but we would have more room to move about and when guests visit, they can easily congregate at the dining table and still be within sight and conversation of the cooks in the kitchen space. The kitchen and dining space though now almost completely open to one another has a "header" to provide a sense of separation (i.e I thought to not remove the wall entirely from floor to ceiling).
It looks a mess right now, but I can see the potential!
