Narrow kitchen dilemma
Comments (20)We were confronted with similar limitations on a project last year. We achieved a layout which I believe optimises the space available. The distance between the kitchen units was 85-90cm. Please see project here. I believe the key area to address with a small kitchen are: storage - favour drawers opposed to doors and explore which internal storage solutions suit your needs lighting - ensure all areas of the kitchen are well-lit worksurface - provide as large an area as possible; induction hobs and undercount sinks with integrated drainer grooves help handleless door/drawer fronts - if a modern kitchen, I'd suggest going for handleless to avoid catching plinth - repeat the same flooring material as plinth to give the illusion that the base units are floating gaps - avoid; build in units wherever possible - cleaning within the tight space will otherwise be cumbersome...See MoreNavy or Two Tone kitchen dilemma!
Comments (16)I apologise if you’ve done this already but if you look on the Houzz photos section and select kitchens and then under area select “all Denmark” you will see lots of beautiful kitchens that I think capture the look you are trying to achieve. I’m going to have to agree with Jonathan and Sonia that very few of them are navy or grey. The Scandinavian look is about lightness and natural materials and so wood and white feature very strongly. I think that wood gives great warmth and interest in a kitchen and it is certainly on the way back but you can only really have wooden floor and units if there is a substantial difference in the colour tone. E.g a darker wood unit with a paler wood floor. Combined with white, it could look very timeless. If you did opt for a wood floor and some (maybe not all) white units, you could then go a bit darker with your worktops.

Comments (11)I would think about how to make best use of earthy materials, I'm not convinced the strong blue is the right thing. Is it possible to post lots of picture that show different views of the room? I agree about pale worktops, essential for reflecting light. The other thing to consider is that the floor tiles are quite a strong colour and therefore I wouldn't put too strong a blue in there, rather a duller dark blue/black or softer warm greys.The bottom image with warm greys and small amounts of dark blue/black is lovely. I like Sonia's images, they feel right for the materials you are working with. Here are some more....See MoreKitchen dilemma
Comments (8)Green it is then! There are some gorgeous soft greens out there. To flow through from a grey/brown tone in the living room then go for a green with a similar undertone. So if your grey/brown has a yellow undertone than aim for that or if it is more of a cool blue undertone then match to that. Do get a couple of tester pots and try them out as they will look very different on the walls by the windows in comparison to the wall by the units due to the light in the room. Good luck and do share an after pic!...See More

7 years agoHi. If you mean window dressing I'd add Roman blinds outside of the recess to give the illusion of more height. If you mean something else, then I'd add 2 shelves which run between the wall units either side and accessorise with glass objects. As you've got an upstand I wouldn't personally add a splashback. However Do you need a colour that works with the floor or is that being changed?
