M50 kitchen
Comments (20)
PRO9 years agoHi Mary,
Love the units- they'd look great in an industrial styled kitchen. With this in mind, the cork tiles sound like they'd complete the look, however you can't go wrong with a wooden floor. For the splash-back, look at the different options available- white subway tiles are a classic and very affordable but this could be your opportunity to add a lot of character to your kitchen with some feature tiling. The empty wall in your picture has a lot of potential too- I'd be inclined to install some display shelving and show off your dry goods and crockery, or even hang some art there. I've attached a few images for inspiration. Happy decorating!

Lost! Not sure where to start!
Comments (17)Thanks all. Space (fortunately) I don't think is the issue, the main area (squared off bit) is about 5.8m by 5.8m and the 'extra bit' is 2.4m wide but only 1.6m long - so essentially the wall that runs parallel to porch utility is about 7.4m long and the heart of the room is just shy of 6m. We intend to keep the lounge and the utility is quite big (thinking of making this a little smaller) so storage shouldn't be a problem. I like the idea of having the dining table in the front window (the small section where suggestions have been to move kitchen) because the light floods in there and it's a great place to hide away from all kitchen mess too if entertaining. I'd like eclectic benches that provide storage with cushioned tops and some chairs along the free wall. Main objective is entertaining guests in one space and also uniting the family at meal times and before/after work. I've attached a picture of layout currently - and yes, we intend to keep the existing 'formal' front door in situ for guests/random callers. Mainly family will use boot room type entrance. Hope that makes sense and thanks so much for all the comments and pics/advice - first time I've used this site and it's certainly helped me shape my thoughts!!...See MoreThoughts please:Blinds for these windows and doors?
Comments (61)We get asked this question a lot, and that is why we sell integrated or integral blinds which are totally enclosed within the glass cavity of the double glazed unit, and are available for most of the doors and windows we sell. They can be manually or electrically operated, are available in a range of colours, and have Venetian or pleated versions. They can be closed for complete privacy, opened to any angle for different shading or raised up almost completely out of the way. Aside from enclosing all the working parts (safe for toddlers), they enhance the thermal efficiency of the unit they are enclosed within and will never need cleaning! You can upgrade existing doors and windows, although if you are purchasing new, ask your supplier about Uni-blinds Integral Blinds beforehand....See MorePOLL - Which kitchen do you prefer? Contemporary vs Traditional
Comments (32)Coming onto this post a year late! Yes, I too don't really like either of the kitchens chosen and even prefer the contemporary one! But I'm a trad gal at heart and echo some of the comments above about homeliness and character that it gives......See MoreHelp please! Minimum width from wall to “bottom of G”
Comments (2)Why not try thinner base units in that section to maintain the walkway with that you want. The width dimension criteria should enable you to open a cupboard door or draw and still stand in front of it. Why not pace this out or mark out with tape on the floor and see if you can live with it....See More

I've stuck a few colour palettes on for you to give you an idea of colours. All very bland, no textures or fancy tiles, but it might help with a vague choice.
I know the kitchen snap taken is still being installed, but it looks like the unit on the chimney stack is a different height to the one front right? They need to go up a little, especially the one on the chimney stack as the lines don't follow through from the cupboards on the left of it. Also, what are you doing about plynths?
- 9 years agothanks for all the comments and suggestions regarding colours floors and splashback. much appreciated. kitchen is from IKEA. Progress is slow, plinths etc still to be attached. considering marmoleum click ( easier to install) for floor in orbit or silver- see photo. any views? have decided tiles too cold and hard underfoot.

- 9 years agoMarmoleum is great, we have it our kitchen.. it's quiet, warmer than tiles, and really brightens up the kitchen. We chose Marmoleum striato in Ice something. Thin stripes in a warm grey with off white and slight brown stripe which ties in well with wood. It came in rectangular sheets rather than a roll but it looks pretty uniform once down, very easy to maintain too. Can't quite remember the rest of the Ice name but the folk in Forbo flooring should be able to help you.
PRO9 years agoLove the kitchen, I would stick with monochrome walltiles, suggestions and pics below
1. White metro with dark grout herringbone style
2. Topps do a time called Hemline which would also look great, I can only find an image of the white ones but they also come in black which would look good
3. These black batik tiles from Topps would be my favourite
