Kitchen layout problem
Comments (17)Hi Guys - thank you all. I just got CAD email from new designers (see below). I guess this is going to be the best compromise. Shelley - The yellow brick wall room is a pantry accessed by the narrow (24") beige door that you see. The plan is to remove the beige door and brick it up, then make a 26" wide access through the yellow brick wall. When the new internal door is fitted (where red floor changes to blue) this will section off a kind of porch/utility room between the kitchen and back door (glass door thru which you can see a handrail). It will house the washing machine on the pantry side and tumble dryer opposite, below the boiler. New Plan - nice but no fridge above worktop height or coffee bar for chats. I'll have to talk to friends thru the archway I guess, but no problem. I don't need that much storage space so might replace a cupboard with a freezer. Lefty - good idea but Ikea are 53 miles away (1hr 40min) and I doubt they'd knock walls down etc. What do you think, guys? Half glazed door to section off the porch? Anyone got a suggestion for lighting? Shall I get low wattage recessed ceiling spots? Should I put two 14" doors thru to the lounge or just leave it an open archway? :-)...See MoreTraditional vs. Modern shaped work surfaces: Which is best?
Comments (0)At Stoneham, we have a range of work surface finishes to suit the look and feel of any kitchen. A curved finish creates more of a modern fluidity whereas a straighter edge is classic and timeless. Out of these two finishes, which one would you choose for your kitchen space?...See MoreHelp on kitchen layout: pass-through vs. broken-plan?
Comments (13)Yeah I read that thread. They were ' do what's right for you' I'm more..do what's right for you and your bank a/c If its worth more equity..you can pull it out and use it to buy another place...cheaper..and have your first rental, you landlord you ! you have this amazing opportunity to not just sort your kitchen out but to sort your flat out so that it will be in the best phase of it's life ever!! if it means spending 3000 pounds more to move the kitchen but it gives you a third bedroom which is then worth 12000 pounds it's kind of a no brainer you don't have to have 3 bedrooms the same size you can have two wonderful large rooms and then a third that can be a study/ baby's room /guest room you could have this wonderful large open plan living area that you use all of plus you have your large bedroom you design it all at once and spend the money all at once to get exactly what will work best for this flat and what will work best for you long term I read on the other thread you want to stay there for a while which is great you just have to make sure you get it right now so that eventually if you want to sell or you want to pull out equity to go travelling or to start a family or to get a bigger car because you're pregnant with triplets you can do that because of your little Cash Cow that you're living in at the moment Www.floorplanner.com is free and it also let's you see 3D Have a play. It shows you the exact size of rooms etc. Has furniture too. Even animals I use that to play ' future beach house ' dreams !! If it was me...I would always try and make my place worth more. If that's two bed, two baths..do that instead ( make kitchen ensuite ) If its 3 beds, 1 bath..do that. If its loft looking ( as in open plan) ld do that. But I like making equity in my home...See MoreStraight Kitchen in Lounge - What's the best separation option?
Comments (3)A very large rug and a re arrangement of furniture will transform the room. I would consider an l-shaped sofa with its long back in line with the kitchen to create a “barrier “ between the 2 areas. It’s a lovely large room, it definitely shouldn’t put you off buying the house if you love the rest of it...See Moremichelle_oates851
