Looking at your ideabook, you're definitely not after the industrial look with your bricks! This is a more toned down colour scheme which is light and airy and still has warmth to it. Maybe you could add pale grey tiles or splashbacks similar to the worktops in this kitchen. Are you adding flooring just to the kitchen or is this part of a bigger renovation project? If so, you might want to consider whether you will want to use the same flooring throughout the ground floor as this will obviously affect your choice. https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/77-glebe-scandinavian-kitchen-london-phvw-vp~24289739

If you have a magnet, hold it to the Le Creuset pots. If it sticks to the pot, you can use it on an induction hob. I’ve recently switched from gas to induction. Induction is much quicker and you can let the burner switch off automatically after a set time. And it’s easy to clean. So far the advantages I’ve found. Disadvantages: can’t see the flame, so have to work out what the settings do. I’m taking a long time to get used to that, but then again, I’ve only ever cooked on gas before. Sometimes the pans make an annoying high pitched tone. I had to buy new pans, but my big iron stew pot (not Le Creuset) should work on it. Haven’t used it yet, but it is magnetic. For my other pans I went to IKEA and got a great set with heavy glass lids from there. Very happy with them. Had to say goodbye to one of my big iron frying pans, because the bottom was slightly warped and then it doesn’t work well either. All in all I’m happy with the induction hob. I love the speed. But I think I still prefer gas. Anyway... we have a downdraft in an island, so gas wasn’t an option. But you could do both perhaps? Two gas burners, two induction ones for example?

Hi! All the pieces of work you mention are best doing as one job as a kitchen fit-out project. You'll be best getting it all designed in one go and then getting a contractor to carry out all works again in one go. It will likely get done faster that way (depending on you getting a good contractor capable of project management - ask referees if they finished by the date in the contract to check this). Your kitchen will be out of action for a few weeks / a couple of months tops. But then it will be done and you can move onto other spaces. Bear in mind that removing the partition wall may be structural so if you are aiming to keep costs down then you may decide that the money spent on the structural change isn't worth it. It's hard to say what kind of layout you will be able to achieve without floor plans. If you find that room cold and if the floor feels cold in particular then you will get a better result from removing the tiles and insulating under the floor, if it's a suspended timber floor. Then use something like sealed dense cork tiles that have an insulating quality or an insulating underlay for a timber / rubber / marmoleum finish - these are more eco options than a plastic laminate or a vinyl. This will make a big difference to the comfort of the room. Hope this helps. Best of luck with your project. Jane www.i-architect.co.uk
