Can you tell me the make of the extractor above the cooker & if it's as effective being set so high in the ceiling. Thanks

Hi Hanish i think its the semans one but Westins and others make them the. Westins ones have higher output ! The secret to using ceiling extraction successfully is to switch iron 20 minutes before you use it, to condition the air in the room hope that helps

A venting hob like the Bora is the best solution, especially if you plan to use an induction hob. A ceiling extractor is discrete, but, if you enjoy cooking and making fumes, a ceiling extractor is not likely to work as well as a good ventilating hob. If you do speak to Westin, I think they will tell you that a ceiling extractor is not the best solution for cooks who like to make lots of vapours, especially with smokey cooking. A ceiling hob is usually too high to be effective for serious cooks, unless it has a very powerful motor and has a deep inclined baseplate, which does not help your issue. A venting hob can extract outside (with forward planning) or, in most cases, recirculate. The expense isn't that high given that you get a hob and extractor in one.

Sorry Mat not sure if I follow. Are you having storage put in by the door? There is no storage labelled on your plans. If so, then visually speaking, the room starts from where the floor starts not from where the wall behind the cabinets starts. So if you have the same distance from both sides i.e. from right wall and from the left cabinet, it will still look symmetrical. Do you see how the room starts from the door of the cabinet and not from the splash back behind the sink? Here the column between the doors looks the same size as the wall next to the cabinets, whereas in reality the wall is at least 60cm wider. Again here the door appears to be in the centre of the room but in reality the wall on the left hand side is much wider because it carries on behind the cabinets. The designer has cleverly placed a T.V. there to stop the eye from noticing the rest of the wall. The same effect can be achieved with floor to ceiling cabinets. Was that what you were asking about or have I gone way off?

I would have suggested an integrated fridge and freezer. And if you're going for two colours, do a bank of cabinets in one colour and not one door one colour and the next another. I'm not a fan of the tall corner cabinet, nor of the tall upper cabinets surrounding the cooker hood. I think it looks dated. Would rather see an integrated hood or a more 'Morden' looking hood. I don't know what you're thinking of putting in the cubby holes above the ovens? Also, I would prefer drawers instead of the base cabinets on the cooker side of the kitchen. I don't get the dropped ceiling and the lighting you've used. Think OnePlan mentioned that too and gave better options? Anyway... a lot of it comes down to taste, but there are also practicalities to consider.

Ok, no worries will do my best with what you have. Couple of initial suggestions. Sink to be moved away from the wall, at least slightly as what is shown will be difficult to build and seal properly. Is there a possibility of removing the partition between the kitchen and living room? You could then drag the kitchen counter out forming an island and add some additional seating which may make a better connection between the two spaces (this will depend on wall construction of that partition). The fire place I mentioned, because often existing stacks no longer being used as a chimney for a fireplace can be used to vent above a hob or at least utilised effectively some other way. However if this is to be retained then that of course won’t be possible. Does the room have any windows?
