Final throws of extension. Final question!

As you can see from photos my sink faces into open dining/living area. I'm having a low profile composite sink and not keen on thought of the tap( boiling water combo) being in the middle of sink and so in middle of the open area. I had thought to put tap on counter as in photos but not sure if it will look odd! I know taps sit on counter with undercounter sinks but what does the Houzz community think please?!

Comments (3)Hi. Will you be extending the terrace (where the BBQ is)? Doors would be lovely but if you're stepping out onto a lawn rather than terrace they may not be used? How much space will there be between the chaise and door/window? It looks lovely btw!...See MoreFinalizing our extension layout - last thoughts please?
Comments (75)Try looking on your local selling groups and Facebook marketplace as they come up all the time. People sell then when they get too big for their hours or when they move and they can’t be bothered to take them with them, ha ha. The new bathroom is still a shell :0( It’s been delayed because it’s now an internal room and we have been trying to work out about putting an outside window in ie cost (around £600!) vs is it worth it because it’s easy facing with a house opposite so gets no sun. Would always have to turn the light on - plus it would be above the shower so can’t open etc. Seems a lot of hastle! I have a separate thread on it somewhere... But anyway, we might create an internal window into the utility and borrow the light from the kitchen?? Not perfect but it’s some natural light at least. Will update the bathroom thread as need help with the shower anyway ;0)...See Morefinal kitchen cupboard layout etc
Comments (105)Shan M - I never did do the brick slips in the end! I managed to salvage a wall to the side of the kitchen so ended up just painting the back kitchen wall in the same colour as the units (well itt's a different tone due to the paint finish) and it's quite dramatic and I love it. If I had done brick slips, they would have gone on afterwards and been fitted around the units to save money. retrospectively, the brick slips cost the same as a full brick and although the original builder said it would be cheaper to tile with slips rather than to build a brick wall, the actual bricklayer (after he finished the job) disagreed! He said he could have done block work up the units and bricked all the exposed areas. Probably would have cost the same as tilers are not cheap! Doh....See MoreThoughts please! Could this look work with my final kitchen design?
Comments (46)Ikea Kitchens are excellent, the attention to quality is superb. Lots of suppliers only offer doors in particular sizes, which is why when you go to an appointment at Wickes for example and you then take it to Howdens, they often have to swap the cabinets around as they don't all do all the sizes. Factoring in that you may want to change the doors in a few years at this point is in my opinion daft. You buy a kitchen and it should last 10-15 years. Magnet and Howdens offer great kitchens too. However, I have personal experience of fitting an Ikea Kitchen last year and was very impressed. I've used Howdens several times too. There are many companies however, that offer custom sizes when ordering replacements such as Kitchen door workshop and Kitchen Door Outlet to name but two. Saying that you can't replace the doors, just simply isn't accurate....See More

6 years agoI wasn’t planning an under counter sink but wondered whether to place tap on counter as they do with this sinks. In the end we put tap in sink but used a low profile sink and drainer. The whole extension now finished at it looks great!
