Hi

Probably need a little more information about what sort of help you want and what your thoughts are so far.

A kitchen designer is the professional person to give advice on anything kitchen related. I know to some this might be a bit obvious but I think it's still worth mentioning!

where in the country are you and what sort of budget do you have. Perhaps you are near a professional someone can recommend

well you certainly got my grey matter working on a sunday morning- i'm currently redesigning my own and a family members kitchen so have been full swing in this thought process for some time! I live in UK too so know how difficult it is to work in these spaces- (is the kitchen on side of house? is there garden space behind the cooker/hob wall?) Two questions though are necessary: 1 ) What are dimensions of room? (I'm guessing about 18ft long, by 9ft wide -measuring to the window sill- excluding the 1ft outer wall depth) 2 ) What is your budget? Enough to only stretch to replacing kitchen units? or a whole remodel- moving gas pipe/sink position etc. Are you keeping the floor? I've attached two room designs that I think would work well (assuming you have 9-10ft width to play with). Both I think will give a better flow to the room, and allow you to add the wow factor. Think about how you want to use the space not just the aesthetic look. The first design swaps the layout, and the second- you can have the sink and hob in the island. The best way to keep costs down would be to spend money on the island/kitchen cabinetry and granite/concrete worktop- but use full height MODULAR wall cabinet shelving (any joiner could do, or buy standard shelves/open cabinetry from ikea or affordable places like this)- to keep costs down and open shelving would suit your industrial style too. Interestingly you mention its a 1930s house- are there art deco features in your house? Both industrial and art deco styles have things in common- monochrome colour palette, reflective surfaces (mirrors/stainless steel), architectural elements (strong straight lines/grids- consider crittal windows?? perfect for both designs) and grey would suit both. If you want more industrial style- consider exposed brickwork also. If you can't afford bifold doors- consider French doors and full height window panels either side to give the same effect On reflection- I realise Jo DP and I seem to be on similar lines of thought! Hope these pictures help :) and please send us pictures once you're done. Good luck!

Hi, What aspects of the kitchen is it that you dislike? (colour combination, style, just the units, etc) What sort of look are you trying to achieve, you don't have an ideas book for a kitchen so it would be useful to get an overview of your style please? The easy solution without ripping anything out would be to paint the cabinets/ walls and see what the kitchen looks like, maybe try some coloured accessories or add colour and textures through plants or rugs. Pictures of the space available would be useful. Good Luck A x

I think a light grey would enhance your table and chairs. You can add accents of brighter colours in small touches (kitchen herbs, fruit bowl,...) and some art on the table wall? The kitchen looks quite dark, you could consider letting more light in by leaving the blinds up and maybe change the ceiling lighting to halogen spots?

The 2nd picture celerygirl posted is beautiful. You could also consider a small flat-weave rug to break up the beige floor a bit. Something small enough that it can go in the washing machine when needed. I also agree with cazsf that removing the single cupboard above the peninsula would make the space look better. A 3 light bar pendant would look nice above it: http://www.arrowelectricals.co.uk/ceiling-lights-c1/pendant-lights-c6/ray-3-light-classic-pendant-in-antique-brass-finish-p4949
