Hi Laura, thanks for posting. Wow, it looks amazing! Amazing how much difference the floor, splashback and mirror make, it's transformed. Well done. I'm struggling to like a splashback in my new kitchen (even though I chose it) so was looking for inspiration - my partner just doesn't get it and will probably leave me if I even dare to mention changing it :-)

Hi Josefina. It looks a fantastic space although you could do cartwheels down the middle :) If the laminate is firmly attached to the doors then you should be able to paint them. I like the idea of shelves on the main run if you have the budget for wall repairs. As Jonathan said you may end up with a hole in the larder (?) unit so may need to remove that unit and re-use the side panel on the base unit. I'd definitely remove the unit over the bin but would consider leaving the sink Ones for storage. I'd stick with the existing worktop, I don't know if you have previous experience of a concrete worktop but it doesn't sound easy and would need to check units could support I think. If you can I would also change the tap. I've seen green appear a few times in your ideabook so tried finding a pic with similar doors to see if you like them. Would also go with brass for handles. I might just use washable white paint on the walls to save money on a splashback. I must admit I like the fire and it's adding character so I wouldn't remove it personally however I would remove the fender and change the hearth. If not then I'd paint the stone or replace the surround. Is there room for a small round table for 4 beneath the light with either a glass table or clear acrylic chairs such as eames? A built in bookcase would be great next to the fire but it depends on your extension plans. If you watch tv I'd consider a small chaise sofa on the lhs with a tv opposite and chair in the corner nearest the kitchen to keep the bifold door free. Perhaps either a slim footstool or glass coffee table depending on seating needs. I might also paint the bifolds black :)

This will be my backsplash

We didn’t have one put behind our sink but we have a boiling water tap and it splutters all the time and I’m forever cleaning the wall. The paint is supposed to be for kitchens but it can only endure so many washes! We will eventually put one on - perhaps a 12” glass one so the dark paint on the walls will show through. You could consider tiling a couple of rows or get solid colours ie pure white if your sink wall is only ever going to be white.
