What practical feature/item do you secretly crave for your house?
Comments (98)Lights which automatically turn on when I enter a room (especially in the kitchen and in the hallway from the bedroom to the bathroom) and lights inside my wardrobes (especially inside the one in the bedroom: I often get up earlier than my hubby, and it may be still dark outside, and I don't want to wake him up while I'm looking for my stockings)....See Morekitcken layout dilemma (position of the hob and fridge)
Comments (7)Agree with Daniel with taking hot items out of an oven and having worktop space to put these down. I also agree with Golddust that the original designers layout is the best. If you do consider moving the gas hob under the window, speak to a gas safe engineer first, there are regulations regarding gas appliances and open windows....See MoreThoughts on our proposed open plan extension layout?
Comments (13)How about putting the TV on the wall behind the dining table, that way the sofa can be against the opposite wall which means it faces into the room and there is more space generally. A friend has this and it works well. You could even build shallow storage around it so it’s more like part of the kitchen. Depends on the height of your dining chairs though! Won’t work if they are very tall....See MoreHelp on Design of New Kitchen Extension / Layout
Comments (7)You have a lovely, huge space to work with- that’s terrific. Are the position and size of the 2 windows fixed? I’d suggest getting the ideal, functional kitchen design first and then considering window placement next.. it may be that a single large window suits the final design better. I would change the fridge position to get it into either side of the main kitchen run. Ideally it should have counter space immediately adjacent to it. Imagine yourself grabbing and pouring milk for cereal.. and immediately putting it back.. can you do it with nary a step? For your oven setup, consider whether you might want one (or even both) directly under your hob. It can make a huge difference to efficiency for the cook, especially if their meals tend to involve active use of both oven and hob. Imagine making spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread… how easy is it to bake, grill, and stir the sauce without burning anything? Or having to squeeze past any kitchen visitors in your kitchen zone to check? ( And for draining the pasta, how far is it to the sink with boiling water?) I’d also pull the wine fridge out of the main kitchen run. It might be lovely to create a bar in the existing Aga area....See MoreLucy Orton
