Have had to knock walls down to have the kitchen of my dreams

We rearranged our interior and moved the kitchen into the dining room, knocked through the hall way straight through to the existing patio and built an extension on it making space for a kitchen, diner, family space. we needed new electrics, water and drainage as well as units and white goods. We love the results, well worth every penny.

Surprisingly for me, it's actually the office I like most - clean, calm and comfortable, which is exactly what I look for in a work space!

POLL: Which room are you most proud of?
Q

We've recently had our kitchen refurbished with a wall down between the kitchen and breakfast room, then new wood flooring added and a new light oak kitchen installed by Kensworth Kitchens with lots of pull out storage and a new American style fridge freezer. We chose our Ivory Cream granite slabs from Chiltern Marble. I love the mantle with storage within and the light granite makes the classic design much more lighter and modern. The island is two sets of three pan drawers including wide cutlery drawers. I love everything organised and to hand when I'm cooking. The bank of tall cupboards at the breakfast end with swing out storage is wonderful. Everyone who has seen the kitchen is wowed by it, this makes me feel very proud to have such a lovely kitchen, particularly as when we bought the house 11 months ago the kitchen was badly designed and very tired and shabby, I appreciate having a beautiful kitchen I designed to suit my needs.

If you could have a secret room, which would you pick?

A secret niche full of cushions and cosy throws with a porthole window looking out onto a lush garden or a sea view. I would hide away here with a good book to escape my noisy children and their constant demands!

How to make the most of your utility room or laundry room.
Q

Can anybody advise/offer comments on the below: We are looking to add a utility room to our ground floor (soon to be extended) off the main hallway. What dimensions are ideal for a utility room with a washer and dryer, sink and some storage cabinets? The utility room would also be the place that I would store all my cleaning items (liquids, mop, bucket etc) and the household hoover too. Any ideas for wall/shelf storage for these items? Thanks.

We made a dark back Victorian room into the kitchen. Removing a lovely old wood burner, to use else where. Putting the cooker here instead. Keeping the lovely huge old cupboards saved some money, meaning we could open up the back and add an extension with bifold doors.

When remodelling your house , don't assume where your kitchen is now is the best place.... imagine where you would prefer it to be and put it there!

Totally agree, Christopher Brummit. I persuaded a friend that the place for her kitchen was not in the one room overlooking the garden - which is where it was when she bought the house - but in the middle with the dining room at the front (with a fireplace) and the sitting room at the back with a gorgeous view. I also think it's worth thinking about the dining room's location. In my 1927 house, it's meant to be at the back which means it overlooks the garden. Meanwhile, the sitting room overlooks the road. I swapped and couldn't be happier especially as the room at the back is much bigger. Shake it up is what I do!

We have a kitchenlivingdining room, so I should think this is where we will spend the most. So far it has been so, with some very expensive windows. But we're also planning new worktop and stove, both for that room. However, it is an older house so major repairs could beat these fripperies...for example, supposing we need to rebuild the ramshackle conservatory... and our first big expense was 1500ukp to fell a tree (the garden is a room, right?).

when moved 2 years ago into the house of our dreams we knew it was going to take awhile to do everything we wanted. so we splurged on the livingroom. put in a stove, sanded the floor, had the ceiling plastered & bought gorgeous sofas. the rest of the house is functional but this room is our sanctuary. :)

The kitchen and especially kitchen diner is the heart and soul of a house and where friends and family congregate, chat and share food - it is of the utmost importance to spend the amount needed to create a kitchen with quality equipment and a personal yet functional design.
