How should I layout a 12' x 20' open space?
Remodeling childhood home. There is a load bearing wall separating living & kitchen. Am willing to bear the cost of having wall removed or opened up. House was built in 1950. Was originally 2 bedroom at 630 square feet, but my dad added a 300 square foot addition for 3rd bedroom and utility. I am disabled so anyone with knowledge of universal design would be very helpful. Thanks so much!

Hi Robin, opening that wall up could certainly help a lot! Even a small opening (the smaller it is the less the cost) could really improve flow without having to take the entire wall out. I saw a layout that made me think of yours where they opened up a 6 foot wide "window" into the kitchen and made it into kind of an island where the stool were basically in the living room.
Opening it up would help and make it feel bigger. You could always get a quote to see what it would cost
