Kitchen island dilemma
Comments (2)Hi there, Is it going to be made in brick? Is that why it's so chunky? If so, can they not give you a steel option (which we had instead) which was a lot thinner as it's designed to take more weight? It's hard not to be annoyed, I do understand. However the images bg attached show that you can integrate them into your kitchen without too much interference, Our kitchen is only small so our pillar was just on the one side. So we built the wall out to the side of it and have a built in shelving space instead now do you don't see a pillar there at all! Perhaps think creatively about what you can do with it ie feature wine rack wall? Etc etc...See MoreLighting dilemma, two ceiling heights over kitchen island
Comments (1)Perhaps move the island to the left, so the distance between island and tall units on the left side is about 100 cm and then put something like this over it? You could possibly do that too without moving the island:...See MoreHelp needed! Layout dilemma for kitchen diner / space planning
Comments (16)I completely agree with OnePlan. Take your time. Don't settle for less (unless your budget really doesn't allow..). I sell and design kitchens and my boss pays me per hour, not commission. And everyone gets the same lowest possible price. People can come back time and time again, until their kitchen fits their needs perfectly. I hear plenty of stories on people being pushed into a signature or lured in with discounts. Or salesmen without any technical insight/background. Or designers not really listening to someone's needs/wants. It saddens me. A kitchen is not a car you can trade in after a year or so. Always look for something you can live with for 10 years plus (and longer). Your workspace would ideally be 80cm (minimum), that means the area inbetween sink and hob. Every other bit of surface can be used to place other items, make a drink, etc. When you regularly work with two people you could downsize the tall cabinet left of the ovens to a 30cm pullout larder, so a 90cm drawer cabinet could go next to it (for example)....See Morehelp! layout dilemma for new build kitchen/living space
Comments (4)I prefer the 2nd layout with the utility in the corner. I like the way that creates space for the kitchen to be set back from the living space. In layout 1, the utility is too long & narrow, and everything in the kitchen is on full view - although the pantry is a better size. I think I’d possibly make the pantry in layout 2 slightly narrower but go back the full depth of the utility with it. That way you avoid the odd L shape of the utility and with a slightly narrower pantry, you might be able to fit units on each side of the utility, or have space for an airer / wall mounted airer for laundry / plug in station for hoover charging, etc....See MoreJonathan
