Corner kitchen sink
Comments (2)I'm not trying to discourage you, but I remember reading this on the American site couple of years ago - most people commenting on how much they hate corners sinks... it may not be the case with you, but I thought you may want to have a read. https://www.houzz.com/magazine/is-a-kitchen-corner-sink-right-for-you-stsetivw-vs~3668307 Also, as you can see, some use 'normal' sinks, just placed in an angle. No idea if you looked at the sites below in your searches, but that's what I got so far. The first one is very reasonable priced (I think!) however, buy Blanco if you can, their sinks are really great. http://www.kitchensinksandtapsdirect.co.uk/astracast-vector-1-5-bowl-sink-volcano-black.html - they do it in grey too http://www.kitchensinksandtapsdirect.co.uk/blanco-lexa-9-e.html http://www.kitchensinksandtapsdirect.co.uk/ala-428.html - with tap http://www.alarisavenue.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh009678.pl?WD=corner%20sink&PN=Blanco-Delta-Silgranit-Sink-11395435400%2ehtml#SID=545 Hope this helps, good luck!!...See MoreNew kitchen advice - sink dilemma!
Comments (15)To answer the basic question, no, there is no particular requirement to have a sink at a window, though many customers like this for the reasons stated. Given the layout of your room with the full height windows?/patio doors, it would not be a practical suggestion. On first looking at the Wren design, my thought were much the same as OnePlan's - there just isn't enough workspace and I can't see any particular dimensional constraints to have caused the design to end up this way. I much prefer the second design, and see no reason why this couldn't be achieved in your kitchen - incorporating seating as OP mentions. Wrt underfloor heating, this would normally be laid around the island/peninsula and not under it or the other units, so no great issue. Planning a cable route to the island/peninsula is also straightforward - just make sure it is properly planned for the first fix. Wrt plug sockets - pop up would, I feel, be more attractive than a standard socket under the worktop, though they achieve the same. And if you want a bit of "wow" factor for a very reasonable cost, check out the "S-box" pop up sockets/spice racks/knife blocks to really liven up an island! Wrt Wren - make sure you have a good handle on the total costs of all aspects of a kitchen installation, as they do not always declare all of these to you until you are committed and deposits paid. After conversations with other customers, I'd also urge you to carefully read online reviews (for example Trustpilot) to be sure you are happy with their ongoing customer service....See MoreHow to keep a kitchen sink area tidy...
Comments (31)In our new kitchen we got a double drawer dishwasher, so we always have space for dirty stuff. Our tea towels and hand towels live on a pull out rail in the left hand cupboard (where the rinse aid and washing tablets also live) and washing up brush, washing up liquid and sponges & cloths, live under the sink in a drawer in the right hand cupboard. Everything gets done in the dishwasher, other than roasting pans, saucepans etc, which get hand washed, drained for a while and then finished off with the tea towel and put way more or less right away. Other than that, there's only our expensive wine glasses, that get washed and dried immediately. All of which tends to keep the area quite clear all the time. I would say that the greatest difference has been made by the double dishwasher, we always used to have dirty stuff hanging around waiting, either for the dishwashing to finish, or waiting for it to be emptied of clean stuff....See MoreKitchen Design Dilemma - Sink Position?
Comments (24)Using a large chopping block that slides over the sink will bring back your joined prep area. In most homes the worktop above the DW is constantly stacked with plates ready to go in ( by family members too lazy to put it in the DW) so it’s better to have this in option C too. Ultimately it’s your choice though, I’m just pointing out the safety issue out of concern only. I’d hate for you to tip while trying to drain a large pan of pasta....See Morecaro7342
