Need help for my kitchen in a holiday home
Comments (22)Hi - just checking in before I shut down the computer ! Thank you Joe !!! Roselyne, love the photos !! Looks so quaint !!! So, France ! Much more liberal with regard to planning (phew!!) how lovely ! Yes, that cottage look would fit in so well !!! The last project I did in France was an old watermill in Rennes - beautiful location - but a nightmare to find a good furniture manufacturer !! Have you sourced anything yet ?! Or are you thinking of bringing it all over by road ?!?!...See MoreNeed help for my kitchen
Comments (7)If you want a more integrated country look, have your kitchen professionally spray painted in a pale grey or white after rehanging the wall units so that they are all level. Replace the light pelmet to something plainer. The worktop around the sink has gone quite dark from the constant presence of water. Consider having all the tops replaced with oak to coordinate with your floor. Wood knobs or pewter handles will complete the cabinetry. Remove the tiles and replace with patchwork tiles to give you more colour. Make sure you pick up the cabinet colour and the floor colour in the tiles. http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod44324/batik-patchwork-blue-tile.html Paint the remaining walls with a pale colour to keep the room light....See MoreNeed help for my kitchen
Comments (22)There are kitchen companies that can replace the doors, plinths and end panels etc thus completely changing the colour of your kitchen but using existing units. One I know if is Dream doors which my neighbour used to go from dark wood to cream and I cannot tell they are the old units. I like your kitchen, the layout seems good. I feel whats making it feel a bit dated is the amount of orangey pine or similar wood. Even changing the door knobs would help. If you wanted a greater change, a handleless slab kitchen in either a matching cream as the aga, or a grey might work? As an aside, changing the colour of the floor might help too....See MoreNeed help for my kitchen
Comments (3)Is it possible to move the white goods and sink up starting from the 'L' shape heading up towards the stairs, if the units that make up the 'L'shape are about 1800 mm moving that part of the kitchen up would still give a walk through of 7-800 mm to then you fit your dinning table in comfortably in the space where the sink etc were, all plumbing provisions could come from the downstairs wc it would just be the waste that would need a small modification possibly to get it outside. You could also extend the worktop a little on the 'L' shape bit to form a breakfast bar area, unfortunately doing this if possible will mean no room for an island, hope his helps....See Morecandy pixie

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI'm not sure who drew the plan up, but there's no way you can fit all the items shown at the top across a room of only 2.6m -
Bare minimum - you have across the top 600mm plus 300mm, plus range ( 900mm ) + 300mm plus doorway ( average 900mm inc frame ) - That totals 3metres
It will also not work at the bottom where the table is shown.
You have units of probably 600 deep - that leaves you with 2metres for a table and walk around space - even if you have the walk around space at only 600mm the table can only be 1.4m long - Its not enough space to fit four comfortably.

Personally I wouldn't have the table attached to the end of the kitchen, there's a nice space at the end, which becomes limited with the design.
I'd go for a separate table and chairs and bi-fold / french doors.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI'd keep the cooker black to match the rest of the units as the Fridge Freezer is already different. I'd have a plain high gloss worktop to get the light back in to the room, maybe white. I'd consider having the tall bank of units in white too, because the room is so narrow it's going to feel crowded with the tall units in black.
I must admit the room plan above has me a little confused. The door has disappeared from the top right corner and looks to be replaced with two small windows and I can't see the door marked anywhere. Where is the door? You've also lost a metre off the length and it's now 5915mm instead of 7m.
Looking down the kitchen with black tall units
looking down the kitchen with white tall units.
I think maybe i'd get a concept planner on board first as I think the plan needs work, it does look like a long narrow corridor with far too much on one side, too high, not enough on the otherside etc.

4 years agoI'd go with Grey bottom units and tall units, Silver Fridge Freezer ( possibly spray painted to match the kitchen units ), Stainless steel oven.
Tall grey units at kitchen end only.
White work tops, white top cupboards.
No tall cupboards at the table end to stop it looking like a corridor.
Open out the dining end with a separate table and chairs a low level unit for the T.V.
