4 years ago

Considering similar large glass doors at end of new kitchen. However, if there's no window, how do you get fresh air if you don't want a whole door open in the middle of winter or ifs its windy and rainy?

We normally allow a side window or rooflight that can be opened to allow for purge ventilation, but if this is not possible, then Id reccomend doors that can be locked in an open position, allowing a 5-10 cam gap, enough to allow for some ventilation, but small enough so not a security issue.

Whether it's morning, afternoon or evening, after being full body tackled by the dog, I immediately go to my bedroom and change into pj's. I've done this since I was a young teenager (over 25 years ago). I never wear 'outside clothes' inside unless I'm imminently expecting guests!

Hey Nisha! I love your Option 4 and what a fab design- looks amazing!!! I think Option 4 has lots of space and flow through the room without having to walk around furniture and is a great adult space with formal and informal dining with the addition of the breakfast bar. If little people do come along in the future and you need a play space when they're a little bit older, you can always whip out the breakfast bar and move the table up closer to the kitchen at that point- it's a lovely flexible design. In the meantime Option 4 feels light and open and spacious and looks fab to me. What a long way you've come since your first post! How exciting!

A big thank you all for your ideas and inspiration. I'm going to explore the idea of a flush, push to open door first as I think this enables me to keep the storage but meets my need to hide the clutter and keep clean lines. And yes the wall cupboard at the end is definitely going, there will be no wall level units on the entire run as I have full height larders on the wall opposite. Whilst I like the idea of using the alcove to display my "nicer" things I don't really have a selection of beautiful crockery to show off and I feel like I would end up buying stuff just to fill the space or the clutter would naturally migrate there!! Also the "window" on the other side used to be a window but is now an opening into a dining room extension so there is no way to really balance this with the alcove.
