End of counter Range

Hi all. We have just bought our first house and in a dilemma as to what to do with the kitchen. We can't afford a new one at present so need to make the most of what we have got. The cooker in the picture is gone so we will be buying a new one. We fancy a kitchen range but we would have to take out the cupboard space by the door to do this. We would then take out the overhead shelving and put an extractor hood.
Thinking of replacing tiles with metro tiling in perhaps a sage colour and then painting the cupboards white?
I see the downside to having a range near a doorway but not sure I see any other option. What would everyone else do with this kitchen? Ideas welcome. I attach floor plan and the only pic of the kitchen I have at present.
Regards

Comments (2)Hi, There is a huge range of marble-like quartz surfaces currently available from various brands such as Silestone, Caesarstone, Dekton,Quartzforms, Technistone & Cimstone. A marble-like quartz can give you the desired look AND easy maintenance!...See MoreNew Quartz countertops sitting on shims.
Comments (6)Like all quartz brands and also even granites they must be glue down correctly and with quartz it is silicone and no shims at all, you do not need them if the cabinets are level. First thing any installer should check with a 6" level. side to side, front to back. I can tell you know that this will void the Silestone warranty or any other manufacturers warranty, from the photos you have shown. You are correct does not matter if the floors are way out of level, the adjustments on the cabinets will take up the issues there. But sometimes it is also the legs are not weight rated for stone. They use them because the are cheap, but the flex and bow under the load of stone. The photo below is straight from the Silestone fabrication and installation manual and this is from our draft manual for one of the major manufacturers. Your stone counters do not even look like they have been stuck down into place, there is no silicone, nothing! Ps I know of two members on here that work for Silestone. They generally will pass information on....See MoreLaminam countertops
Comments (3)It's hard to find much. I don't know if the attached are any help. From googling the only cons I've come across are the cost plus installation ( this was from a us site written a few years ago however saying as it was relatively new it may be difficult to find an experienced installer). is it worth asking the supplier? I assume they supply various types of worktops so should be able to give an unbiased view. It does sound great stuff what I've read though! http://www.kitchensfitted.co.uk/choosing-kitchen-worktop/ https://www.granitegraniteltd.co.uk/Laminam...See More
