Kitchen dilemma
Comments (6)Hi katie. I think the biggest problem is the worktop and splashback/tiles but dear to replace. I know your dad likes the green ceiling but I personally think it's encroaching on the space making the room feel a little smaller and darker. Having it white or in a paler colour than the walls expands the space. Removing items from the windowsill that block light would help and a bit of a declutter. You could try painting both the units and walls white. If you don't want white and white (but look at images with dark worktops) then try a light colour with white. Adding cheap lighting under and over caninets etc will also help as will reflective surfaces and accessories but you already have the SS sink and chrome handles.. Ps if they are tiles and not a splashback then you can paint them...See MoreNarrow kitchen dilemma
Comments (20)We were confronted with similar limitations on a project last year. We achieved a layout which I believe optimises the space available. The distance between the kitchen units was 85-90cm. Please see project here. I believe the key area to address with a small kitchen are: storage - favour drawers opposed to doors and explore which internal storage solutions suit your needs lighting - ensure all areas of the kitchen are well-lit worksurface - provide as large an area as possible; induction hobs and undercount sinks with integrated drainer grooves help handleless door/drawer fronts - if a modern kitchen, I'd suggest going for handleless to avoid catching plinth - repeat the same flooring material as plinth to give the illusion that the base units are floating gaps - avoid; build in units wherever possible - cleaning within the tight space will otherwise be cumbersome...See MoreHelp!

Comments (2)The soil pipe for the toilet will be the most costly thing to move so this will have to be your first exploration. I would look at stealing a bit of the bedrooms and putting a bathroom between the bedrooms with a jack and Jill door so that you can be completely private if you have guests. Then you can turn your current bathroom into downstairs toilet and utility/coat and shoe storage room....See MoreKitchen dilemma
Comments (8)Green it is then! There are some gorgeous soft greens out there. To flow through from a grey/brown tone in the living room then go for a green with a similar undertone. So if your grey/brown has a yellow undertone than aim for that or if it is more of a cool blue undertone then match to that. Do get a couple of tester pots and try them out as they will look very different on the walls by the windows in comparison to the wall by the units due to the light in the room. Good luck and do share an after pic!...See More- PRO
