Comments (9)Hello `Sarah, I think the kitchen is fantastic!!! Please keep it!!! So I have some suggestions.. I think it has some great elements.. The design and colour of the cupboards plus those tiles are really fabulous, also love the floor too.. I'd keep it all!!! The top cupboards are gr8 without glass and your image is very different and dare I say not nearly so interesting.. Maybe you can celebrate the uniqueness of it! Minnie is right to suggest moving the cabinets closer to the ceiling (it has been lowered in part but I would leave it as is) easily done without damage and you can move the boiler in line with them.. .. This is a gr8 idea as it will feel a little more open and spacious.. you could then paint above the tiles a lovely warm chalky white or off white.. and any other wall areas.. It will balance the units out and I would definitely keep the colour the same here top and bottom... If you don't want to change the current configuration too much and keep costs down, I would buy a free standing chrome range oven like Smeg dual fuel and extractor Aeg angled hood and fit in same place as current oven.. Dualit toaster and kettle Bugatti Vera in chrome.. Angled extractor hood Aeg and a smeg 50's white fridge would be nice here too! With the fridge I feel it could stand at the end of the counter top.. Leave the sink exactly as it is and the boiler too, all you then need to do is put a cabinet shell and door on the front of the opening where fridge was and paint it and the bits of cabinet that are white to the shade of yellow and voila! Anther storage space for the dishwasher. I would move that metal shelf or add another if you like it.. .. Add a polycarbonate pendant Creatures by Nigel Coates which would look amazing with the kitchen.. Also the kitchen is definitely not past it!!! (added that bit after reading the comment further down) : ))...See MoreUrgent bathroom layout and advice needed please
Comments (7)As Jonathan says, you start with the Soil pipe, and if you've agreed with your bathroom fitter that he's able to put the pipe across the wall behind the toilet and under the bath to get to the outside wall, then that's fine, but if not, you really need to discuss it with a professional. There are many reasons and regulations that you need to stick to with regards placement of soil pipes, because sometimes you need access to unblock them. When designing a bathroom, it is important to know where you have to have some items and then decide where you can put the other items that you want. Check the soil pipe situation as this dictates where everything else can go. I suspect unfortunately, that if you can't solve the soil pipe problem and the toilet needs to go on the outside wall ( which is the normal place for it ), then you may have to have a re-think and possibly change what you have purchased. I've tried to have a re-jig with what you've purchased and moving the toilet to it's normal position, but i can only make them fit if you do what Jonathan suggests. Even then, I would suggest that the door be moved along the wall to accommodate the tall unit. You will have pipework from the vanity that you need to box in, it can go under the bath, but at least it's just water not the soil pipe. I would have also considered a bath to fill the whole gap of 2000mm not a 1700mm, but you can use the gap to build a space at the end both covering the pipes and giving you somewhere to stand toiletries. The taps for the bath aren't marked, so i'd probably put them on the bottom end nearest the vanity on the flipped plan below....See MoreAdvice needed for Bathroom Renovation - Tiles and Colour Scheme
Comments (16)When I moved in this house the previous owners had proper bathroom tiles in the bathroom but when wet they were ridiculously slippy. So my first concern would definitely be finding out if they are slippy when wet. Re aesthetics, I really like Carolina’s pic mixing wood effect tile with the white and black. I like the high shine of the large format tiles but just looking at them makes me scared of slipping....See Moreboundsgreener
