Kitchen design to hide this?

7 years ago

Following great advice on here last week from all you talented people I've decided to block up side door and move cupboard entrance to living room. But any ideas what to do with sloping bit of ceiling that is left? Could it be hidden in design? It is 92 cm wide and sloping bit measures 74 cm.

Thanks for adding measurements - yes because it goes further than door the best way to hide it is to make a big walk in pantry perhaps ? Big enough to have your gadgets like mixer and maybe even micro plugged in and ready to use in there too - maybe replace door with a window ? (Could be used to decant recycling outside too ) with a bifold type door to access it and shelved storage right under the stairs... Could be very useful indeed !

Could you post more photos of that area with the slope please, taking in more of the kitchen to make it easier to visualise? Presumably the slope is over the current entrance to the cupboard?

If course it depends on budget but replacing them may not be as expensive as you think.

MATH, that reminds me of a flat we lived in when I was about six years old, way back in the sixties. The bath was in the kitchen and my Dad made a cover for the bath which my brother and I sat on for meals at the kitchen table. At least the toilet was in a separate room! At the time it was just fun for us. We annoyed our parents by kicking on the bath panel which made a great sound, but they were always worried about disturbing the landlord downstairs...

Sorry, I should have explained a little bit more. These are old units that I am simply moving. They are in very good condition. I have no problem with abandoning or not using some of the units. @ Jonathan that looks good. My intention is to get a 2400mm island as well. However, need to get these in first! @ Ellie I will do so when I have a chance a little later on! Thank you. The diagram I put up first shows the area where the units will go along with the window at the top. @rinq the larders are very tall. From memory they are approx 2.1m high. They both have openings of 1050mm for appliances. I havnt enquired about additional units but I'd much rather make the best out of what I have.

I'm not knowledgeable about how to hide this, but in terms of fitting around it you could have a bespoke cupboard made to be an odd shape next to it or have your run of kitchen wall cupboards end early? It looks like its painted the same colour as the wall but arguably it is ceiling? maybe consider whether it would blend in more to match the wall or the ceiling.

I'd build in a pantry! Slope will be hidden & will provide tons of storage which will mean you'd need fewer cupboards in the rest of the kitchen. We did have one & it was brilliant. Unfortunately, it had to go during our renovations & it wouldn't fit with window placement, etc in our new kitchen but would have loved to have one.

That will be difficult to hide, because the top of it overshoots the back door. If you built out to hide it, it would make the entrance narrower as you'd come in between the cupboard and the Fridge Freezer, but it wouldn't look wrong. It would make a great pantry. So, if you want it there, i'd build out, if you want to disguise it, the paint it the same colour as the ceiling, to draw your eye away from it.

Thanks everyone- what a great site this is! Man About The House I'm blocking up side door and moving cupboard entrance to living room. Pantry sounds a good plan but would mean less worktop space. At the moment the plan is to run worktop right along to the wall under the slope and have my tall units to the side of it so will be slightly hidden by them. I'm having ceiling and this plastered and will paint them white.

Thanks I think I'll need it! Would still prefer to not see it at all though.

Hello, We would recommend that you install a tall unit with a smaller carcass and oversized doors. This way the slope would be hidden but you could still use to the top section for smaller storage.

Thank you Neatsmith but I think this would leave me short of worktop space if I had to leave space in front for access. It's looking like l'll have to choose between having it completely hidden or more work space.

Hi Mrs D. Perhaps if you post your kitchen design people will have alternative design ideas so as to incorporate the slope in a cabinet. Were you also moving the boiler?
