Kitchen Dilemma
7 years ago
Hi all, I’m having a slight dilemma for the kitchen of the house that my partner and I will be moving into, we are unable to change the kitchen straight away due to the cost and we are changing the floor to a dark wooden floor. I feel it will clash with the countertops, is there a way to change them for the time being but in a cost effective way? Thank you so much for your help!!

Narrow kitchen dilemma
Comments (20)We were confronted with similar limitations on a project last year. We achieved a layout which I believe optimises the space available. The distance between the kitchen units was 85-90cm. Please see project here. I believe the key area to address with a small kitchen are: storage - favour drawers opposed to doors and explore which internal storage solutions suit your needs lighting - ensure all areas of the kitchen are well-lit worksurface - provide as large an area as possible; induction hobs and undercount sinks with integrated drainer grooves help handleless door/drawer fronts - if a modern kitchen, I'd suggest going for handleless to avoid catching plinth - repeat the same flooring material as plinth to give the illusion that the base units are floating gaps - avoid; build in units wherever possible - cleaning within the tight space will otherwise be cumbersome...See MoreNavy or Two Tone kitchen dilemma!
Comments (16)I apologise if you’ve done this already but if you look on the Houzz photos section and select kitchens and then under area select “all Denmark” you will see lots of beautiful kitchens that I think capture the look you are trying to achieve. I’m going to have to agree with Jonathan and Sonia that very few of them are navy or grey. The Scandinavian look is about lightness and natural materials and so wood and white feature very strongly. I think that wood gives great warmth and interest in a kitchen and it is certainly on the way back but you can only really have wooden floor and units if there is a substantial difference in the colour tone. E.g a darker wood unit with a paler wood floor. Combined with white, it could look very timeless. If you did opt for a wood floor and some (maybe not all) white units, you could then go a bit darker with your worktops. Happy browsing!...See Morenorth facing kitchen dilemma!
Comments (11)Hi, This space really does have so much potential. Turquoise is a hard colour to work in a kitchen as it can appear very bright and loud if that is not what your looking for. Both of these images are different shades of green that would work well. I would suggest whatever shade green you decided on, you keep the rest of the room light and this compliments the green well. The neutral colours and light woodwork make it an eye-catching statement. Accessorizing in black and gold is also a beautiful touch to add, also adding a statement as soon as you walk in.

Comments (10)I think the kitchen could be the basis for any style. Your mum could add the style she prefers via a big island, statement breakfast stools/chairs, and open shelf brackets to the left of the window (with objects/books/plants).
