Help appreciated with designing a utility cupboard
Comments (9)Thanks for all your really helpful replies guys. It looks like the washing machine will find its way into next door’s ‘Garage’/ covered patio where it will be boxed in as you suggested Jules. You’re right this is quite a common in these parts of the planet. I also think something like a bespoke cupboard/cabinet would then be a good option including the Louvre doors on rails as Jonathan suggested. Blocking the window and loosing a fair bit of space is probably too big a sacrifice. Oh and yes, possibly move the fridge to the wall with the window where a fridge always used to be located before the renovation. I will sadly have to swop this little hot paradise for the cold UK again very shortly (well, I’m actually quite looking forward to going home) but will keep you posted on developments as and when. Not it in the least what will happen to our little family of birds in the ‘garage’. :) Had anyone noticed the nest?...See Moremaking the most of built in storage
Comments (6)Ikea pax wardrobe system has lots of useful gadgets, but they might be a wrong size for your built in cupboards. However you can go on Ikea pax planner and get some inspiration that you can show your carpenter. Another idea is to get some baskets and organise your staff in the baskets on shelves. There are professional organisers who can help you to make the best of your space. Ikea pax wardrobe system has lots of useful gadgets, but they might be a wrong size for your built in cupboards.

Comments (4)That sounds great. Can you give me an idea of cost please and how quickly could you put something together? (As always, we need it yesterday!) Also, will a good carpenter be able to follow your designs?...See MoreKitchen layout driving me crazy - please help me, I need ideas!
Comments (17)A much more functional layout can be achieved in the existing room by flipping the existing hob and fridge freezer. It looks like you are currently losing a good 30cm or so of potential counter and cabinetry space next to the doorway, and it would give you a longer counter run between sink and hob. I would also add a long bank of shallow low cabinetry alongside the wall between the 2 doorways, which would give you quite a lot of additional storage space without interfering with the walkway or sight lines. Plus the narrow ledge there could help keep clutter off your work surfaces. In terms of dining space, you could lose your unloved peninsula and then add a small table and chairs. You would have to squeeze in the 60cm oven into the main work area, but 30cm would be gained by the fridge move, and another 20cm could be gained by swapping to a 60cm sink cabinet. (I assume it’s 80cm right now.)....See MoreLZD
