If you are still looking....Magnet Kitchens or DIY kitchens (half the price!), however, not sure if you can purchase these without having ordered/bought a kitchen! you can buy acrylic mirror sheets but they are quite small. Mirrored plinths are ideal for that 'floating cabinet' look!

Hi Lauren, Reading this I think you don't love it yet because there is too much contracts between the dark sofa and the light wall. Paint the wall, don't worry about light- that is a massive window. Don't worry about it feeling smaller - it won't I also agreed that the curtains need to be on a wider pole or the window should be dressed with an additional something (wood slatted blind?)

We had a similar problem. Had two rads and two plinth heaters, but they weren't working properly and we were freezing. Had the plumber in and he adjusted them and now we're toasty in a matter of minutes. Get one plinth heater put in and plug in a small electric coal or log effect stove ( cheap enough) to bridge the gap. If your windows are thermally bridged have you thought about contacting the window installer to complain , about the problems you are having? The builder, too , as he should have ensured your extension was properly insulated. The suggestion about thermal lined curtains that pull right back during the day is spot on as it will help insulate the room and the kitchen will be warmer in the mornings to come down to. Finally the door is essential as both the hall and front door area are most likely sucking away any warmth from the kitchen area, especially if there is a stairwell. I now think if I was doing mine again I would dig up the floor and put in underfoot heating but this is way too disruptive to consider now. Best of luck.

Hi Julie I think you’ve probably hinted at this yourself but you might be trying to squeeze too much into the space. It’s a good size room so you really have the opportunity to create a feeling of space. Re. the oven, I think that a tower with an eye level oven will actually balance the fridge freezer tower at the other end and will look fine. More practical to see food while cooking and considerably easier for handling. Also gives you the opportunity to have a 1 and a half or double oven which is well worth it if you can stretch to it. Hold firm with the hubby on the breakfast bar. Do you really need it when the dining table is less than a metre away? Far better to have the space to stretch out at the table which currently looks tight as others have said. Do you already have the sofa? If not, I would be tempted to buy a smaller two seater, an armchair and a footstool so you can be more flexible with the furniture. A large L shape like this will block the room off whichever way you position it and impede movement and make the room seem smaller. I don’t think anyone else has mentioned this but it might be worthwhile rethinking the lighting plan. I’m all for downlighters in the kitchen area but not in the living and dining zones. A really attractive statement pendant above the dining table would look great and if dimmed, give more atmosphere when dining. Similarly in the tv area, a pendant would look good or a smaller number of downlighters and functional dimmable floor lamps for atmosphere when you are watching tv or function if reading. Good luck with the renovations

I never thought about mirrors as plinths, sounds cool. However I'll stick to what Ive got... no plinths, lit with LED's, and run a feather duster under it once a month... my particular kitchen gives me peace of mind knowing there is good air flow and I spot leaks immediately. Mirror acrylic is available in big sheets, and can be cut with a jigsaw, and I suppose the clips to attach them to the legs can be glued on. If you do go this route, I warn you must get the correct glue for the mirror acryllic backing, having personal experience of using the wrong stuff, it looked fine for months, then reacted badly with the mirror backing and destroyed my project... I even wrote to the glue company about it (think was Unibond), but they sent me a tube of the right stuff free of charge so can go see what it is if you need. Would love to see photos if you get these done.
