Kitchen design - stuck!
Hi, hoping someone can give me some ideas re our new kitchen. We're planning an extension and opening up into a kitchen diner. Plans attached (the new utility door will be in the new porch, not the kitchen, as per the plans). Ideally we wanted some larder type units, but the new layout seems to prohibit this . I think the new range would be on the other side of the jib to that marked on the plans, ie opposite the island, and I was thinking an american fridge freezer where 'ovens' are marked. Looking like we will have no choice but to have a worktop and 'up high' units elsewhere, unless anyone has any alternative ideas? Thanks in advance.

Stuck for ideas with my garden
Comments (18)Nice mock up pic of the garden but, the slab steps through the lawn, detract from the varying green shades you have (or could have). The summer house is a nice and smart addition. Although, you may feel some are costly, you should view them the same way you would a property extension as, you can potentially, create extra space (or another room) with summer houses which is a positive. In terms of plants for low maintenance, evergreens will always be an option but, don't dismiss flowering plants as, a garden can be your sanctuary, your private, peaceful, place and as, we at Bouquet Gardens believe, your asset for good health. Pops of colour during the flowering seasons could, help change your mood, inspire you or de-stress you throughout the year....See Morestuck - help please!
Comments (9)Hello Melanie As a family we spend a lot of time in the kitchen and you can almost never have enough innovation in that space. No point spoiling the excitement of making a meal or baking a cake by not having the things you need at hand. We love this kitchen design: by having drawers of varying depth you have great access to everything at a glance. Some clever partitions could keep everything neat and tidy as well. On the warmer front we will probably blow your budget with the following suggestion but just gives you confidence that you won't compromise on the streamline effect. Miele... I am sure you are already working with a great team on your kitchen but if you need a good crew to help, we can recommend someone. Enjoy and happy cooking!

Comments (9)Something along these lines could work - and give you better room between range and island and allow the fridge freezer to be opened fully ... extra cabinets in the dining room provide additional storage if required... I’ve added images into a shared folder with public access for you. Hope it helps !

Comments (3)Hello Feraz, How about walnut coloured flooring to go with the tops. What colour are your cupboard doors ? I see you have a red fridge so you do not mind colour. Patterned flooring do not show mess as much a plain blocks of colour. Depending on your budget vinyl or tiles ? Have a look at https://forthefloorandmore.com/9-patterned-vinyl-flooring/ You can simulate a rug effect for example You could paint your cupboards a lighter colour which would lighten the space up. Or cover them with vinyl wallpaper. Depending on your budget you can go to a local car spray shop to get then resprayed or you can respray them yourself. I hope these give you some ideas... Have Fun:)...See More

Similar to this... again, struggling as to where we might place tall units (larder unit), if at all possible. Or do we dispose of the kitchen window?

9 years agoWhat size range were you looking at? Do you mean 2 ovens in addition to the range?! You may need a bigger dining table for all that cooking :) I know it's personal taste but I think it looks much more streamlined if the FF is integrated. Yes utility and porch as one. This pic isn't great but if you have a stacked washer and dryer on the 5ft wall (where the utility door is on the current plan) but behind doors you could then have extra tall storage next to it and a shoe rack on the RHS

These kitchens are all by Tom Howley (they often seem to have islands that are perpendicular to the units!). Could something like this work if you were to swap dining and living? You could also consider extending the utility into the room slightly and have the short run of units on that wall so as to keep the back open. Just an idea anyway that may also be worth looking at
PRO9 years agoHi Darren,
Have you thought about what style tap you might like? It's a small detail but can make all the difference, and is obviously important when it comes to washing up and all that fun stuff!
We have a range with hoses, which are especially helpful when you're swilling dishes etc.

Hi again. I'd appreciate thoughts on the design so far. First thing that sticks out to me as wanting changing is the island, I think a rectangular one running parrallel with the longest wall would work better, as minnie101 says. Other than that I think we're getting there (decided to keep the utility where it is instead of incorporating it into the porch area).
