Need help with feature wall in kitchen
Comments (42)Wow, you have done a great job already with your kitchen. You have had so many great ideas re. the wall there isn't anything on that I could add. To solve the problem of the chairs hitting the wall I would either opt for a huge floor to ceiling mirror which would encourage one and all to be careful when leaving their seat or my preferred option would be to replace the chairs on that side with a bench. I'd cover the bench in either shabby chic cushions or a deer or sheepskin rug for comfort and I'd play with table decor. Get chair covers for the redundant chairs and use them in the bedrooms - one in each corner. Then for formal dinner parties or for when the table is extended you simply remove the covers and add them to the table and you can still use the bench if the table is extended....See MoreSplashback dilemma
Comments (22)Wow that is a lot! The room is lovely btw. I'm struggling to find pics of upstands and the hob splashblack painted in the wall colour but this one will give you an idea. An alternative is to tile the splashblack as shown below, units and extractor are similar to yours so I thought it would give you a good visual although I'm not loving those particular tiles as much. If you go for a dark inky blue will you carry that through to the rest of the room at all? I still quite like the wood hex idea which will pick up your doors :)...See MoreNew kitchen advice - sink dilemma!
Comments (15)To answer the basic question, no, there is no particular requirement to have a sink at a window, though many customers like this for the reasons stated. Given the layout of your room with the full height windows?/patio doors, it would not be a practical suggestion. On first looking at the Wren design, my thought were much the same as OnePlan's - there just isn't enough workspace and I can't see any particular dimensional constraints to have caused the design to end up this way. I much prefer the second design, and see no reason why this couldn't be achieved in your kitchen - incorporating seating as OP mentions. Wrt underfloor heating, this would normally be laid around the island/peninsula and not under it or the other units, so no great issue. Planning a cable route to the island/peninsula is also straightforward - just make sure it is properly planned for the first fix. Wrt plug sockets - pop up would, I feel, be more attractive than a standard socket under the worktop, though they achieve the same. And if you want a bit of "wow" factor for a very reasonable cost, check out the "S-box" pop up sockets/spice racks/knife blocks to really liven up an island! Wrt Wren - make sure you have a good handle on the total costs of all aspects of a kitchen installation, as they do not always declare all of these to you until you are committed and deposits paid. After conversations with other customers, I'd also urge you to carefully read online reviews (for example Trustpilot) to be sure you are happy with their ongoing customer service....See MoreGloss or Matt worktop with shaker kitchen
Comments (13)A TH kitchen is the dream!! Far from the B&Q stuff we are looking at now. Saying that, I think when we go for it properly it’ll be DIY kitchens. We saw some amazing cabinetry and so many practical options. Yes it is pretty dark so maybe white cabinets/marble style worktop and green tiles might brighten it up. Even changing the sink to white too! We are actually going to get a whole new island-including carcass. The one we have now is so impractical with just two shelves. We will make it a little bigger and have drawers so when we remove the high wall units, we have somewhere to put those bits and easy to access. The whole way the kitchen has been done is really irritating...only 3 drawers in the whole room! I’m only 5ft too so it’s a struggle reaching anything in those high cabinets!...See MoreA S
