What a transformation from old internal cramped and over cluttered workspace to our beautifully new streamlined and clean kitchen. The transformation is unbelievable and worth the many months of design and decision making.

Our new kitchen
Comments (22)I think that is a lot better. YAY! You'll get good flow from the utility straight into the kitchen with your shopping bags, coats, etc. and it looks like there'll be enough space in the "extended hall" to use it constructively. I do have a couple more questions/suggestions: - The doorway from the utility with the fridge next to it - if the fridge door is open, you won't be able to get through. Also, because the area next to the fridge is all wall cabinets, you might have the "where do I dump things?" issue. I would put another counter on the left wall between the two banks of cupboards. It'll probably only be two or three cabinets and counter, but I think it'll be handy. OR you could put the FF there. - I'd centre the hob on the island, but I think that is a good spot for it. - The other thing is something One Plan raised - walk in pantry? You could have part of the utility dedicated to this, or do you think you'll have enough food storage with the wall cupboard near the ovens (I assume this will be a pull out number as these are really handy to be able to see everything....See MoreNeed help with our new kitchen extension layout
Comments (6)I like Option 2 honestly. Obviously you are finding it hard to visalize what the space will look like but honestly that is a huge space so I would recommend putting in the utility considering what you gain from it. You gain a space where you can block out the sound of the washing machine- who wants that sound when your eating dinner? Also washing is unsightly- do you wants piles of clothes in your nice brand spanking new kitchen? In terms of the corridor you are going to have lots of light coming through from the new extension. When you enter the front door and can see straight through to the garden spaces feel much bigger than they actually are anyway. Also who says it has to be boring. Have some fun wallpaper or colourful art hanging. Also if you want to make something more spacious use sliding doors for utility and wc. Less items infringing on corridor space. And lastly, the reception is purely personal preference based upon how your family function. Personally I prefer two rooms. Allows for more space to get away from the open plan area. Mini adults room and a kids room/study. Hope this helps...See MoreOur new kitchen before & after
Comments (32)In an earlier post you said you were having a sofa and TV in the room too. I'm having an extension built and my kitchen will be a similar size to yours. I'm hoping to fit a dining table and sofa in the room, however I can't picture the space at the moment. I'd love to see a photo of your kitchen with the sofa and tv in it as it would help me with my layout....See More3D visual of our new kitchen
Comments (13)Wow, ok, I don't know where to start :-) This plan only focuses on the kitchen, some things are left out because they don't really concern the kitchen design: - the room in the bottom is much larger than on this plan. We are going to use it as a sitting room/play room. We've thought about putting the dining table over there, but it would be too far from the kitchen. (plus: then there would have to be a playroom like space where the dinner table is on this plan) We might reconsider though. - the view in the top left, is the view from the living room. - the red dot in the kitchen island is a structural pillar. There is another one 7 metres lower, about where the cupboards of the new kitchen stop. - the area which Jonathan circled in red, is a walk-in dressing which you can reach through a sliding door. There we have acces to a separate toilet and to the bathroom. - we wanted an open shelf in the island, to store cookbooks etc. I'm adding a picture of the effect we're looking for. I also said to the designer that the three big cupboard at the back look too boring and overwhelming. So she echood the kitchen island a bit (if you understand what I mean). The 7 small cupboards in the island seem too much though....See MoreDorothy Baker
