help with kitchen design
My problem is when we take out the walls to increase the size of the kitchen , we will have a pvc/glass door into the garage and this will be seen from the lounge. We want o put an American fridge/freezer into the new space and move the existing breakfast bar (to create more movement space). Searching for ideas and inspiration. Thanks.

PRO7 years agoJust checking...........are you taking out these two walls?
I would imagine that the glass door to the garage is an External Grade door and not an internal one. However, you would be able to change the door for something that more closely matches internal ones, such as these:-
It would need to be External Grade though to ensure that the room stays warm enough.

Comments (6)I'd start by going into the usual kitchen shops- B&Q Wickes etc and see what's on offer at the moment then give them your measurements and get them to make up one of their 3D kitchens to look at. No obligation to buy!! Look at as many options as possible and pick the best bits from each. You could then get a local joiner to make up what you like, go back to kitchen shop or go elsewhere. Having looked at lots of options really helps....See MoreNeed help with kitchen design
Comments (10)Thank Oasys, I really like that transformation. I've given plenty of consideration to drawers and pull out storage so as to fully access all cabinets. I'm hoping mine will have a similar finish but thinking of a wood effect laminate worktop. Not sure about the flooring yet as wood might be too much. Having seen the lighting on those cabinets I'm now being swayed toward this idea instead of a simple centre arrangement. Though I currently do not have a cooker hood, this will be included in the design. May I ask why this kitchen doesn't have one?...See MoreHelp with Kitchen design

Comments (9)Just looking quickly, here’s what I think: Definitely a no for the microwave position. It’s too high and a hazard for lifting out hot bowls with such things as soup. Why aren’t you having the oven in a tall unit the same as you currently have? Have a single oven and an integrated microwave over it. Is the corner unit a 900 x 900L? If those are straight corner bases you‘ll need to drop on your knees to access the corner which is a nightmare whereas a 900L gives you the opportunity to open each door individually or together allowing full access to the corner. A 3 drawer pack is better than a 4 IMO as you get 2 deep pan drawers which are better for saucepans (but I’d place the oven there). Also a 800 mm drawer pack is a fabulous size with superb storage if you can swap something around to accommodate this size. Over the other side I would have 2 tall units. One for the integrated fridge/freezer and then a larder unit alongside it doing away with the base unit. Looking at the image you have space to put them on the same wall as the door....See More
7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoCould you add the lounge layout+size too, to get to know the enitire picture, dining area etc.
And what it the width of the corridor? And the wall next to the garage door?

Also, you're not planning to replace the kitchen I guess? Since it seems to be in pristine condition? Perhaps just create a niche in the corridor wall, to create space for a fridge and some extra storage space? Less hassle with new floortiles and other finishes. The breakfast bar would have to go then though..
