Help to update my 1990s beech shaker style kitchen
Comments (8)Thanks for all the advice, unfortunately wall unit doors are too small. Worse of all is that 6 months ago we cleared out the garage and got rid of various side panels which may have worked. Oh well!!! doors are beech, back in late 1990s this was a very popular colour and my kitchen fitter is trying to see if he can find them. He did not think staining would work and I would hate the doors being a slightly different colour worse than the applicances showing. may consider the idea of different colour doors along the bottom...See MorePlease I need your advice on how to update a "yellowish" kitchen?

Comments (15)Hi Dalida! Yes, your flat needs a renovation, specially in the bathroom and kitchen. The wooden floor looks nice. Before starting the redising, it will be necessary you make a 'wishlist'. I would recommend a bigger kitchen . Have you considered having only 1 bigger bathroom? How many peple wil be living in the flat? How many bedrooms do you need? Is the kitchen entrance as nice as the main one ? Would you consider turning the kitchen entrance onto de main entrance to the flat? Then you'd be able to enter to the kitchen space ( it can be an attractive open-plan design - look at this one we fitted in a small apartment) Imagine that where the mirror is, is where your window is. If you turn this entrance onto the 'main one', you'll be able to have a big bedroom on the other side of the flat ( where the main entrance). You can keep the entrance and use it, but not for guest ( not nice to have visitors entering through your bedroom). As you can see there're a lot of options to discuss. I would recommend you to contact a profesional that helps you with the process, because if you meet him/her you can design together a really nice flat. Which style do you prefer? Would it be posible to change the position of the gas boiler? How much storage space do you need? For the new bathroom I would recomend to have storage space, and a large mirror will help to make the space feel bigger. As you can see, there're a lot of questions and lots of decissitions to take. Don't hesitate contacting a profesional to help you in the process it will sabe you money and headaches! We're based in South of Spain, so we're not close to help you with the renovation, but I hope my comments help you! Good luck with the renovation, Sara Leiva Architect @ Mirasur Proyectos SL PS- My recomnendation is not to divide the flat into 2 smaller ones - it will be much more expensive, messy, and you'll have 2 non- attractive tiny flats...See MoreNew kitchen, help with planning from scratch please!
Comments (10)Thank you Jonathan for your thoughts. We have worked with an architect to plan the house. The kitchen at the moment is an the first floor but it means we feel we live in a flat with little access to the garden. It is always an intention to spend time outside, especially meal times...it just never happens when everything has to be carried down to the outdoor. Interesting to have other perceptions. I will look closely at you living room layout suggestion though, hadn't thought of the layout you suggested. This would be more L shaped as the plan suggests. We can move doors, tv points and the fireplace could perhaps be evened up on the wall....See MoreRibena Drinker
