POLL: Yay or nay - open plan kitchens?
Comments (206)We are often approached by clients who are creating an open plan kitchen, dining and living area. To overcome some of the issues we make cabinetry which can hide away the usual clutter found in a busy kitchen. Bi-fold and pocketing doors are great in this instance as ovens and even sinks can be hidden away, making the cabinetry seem more like a piece of furniture than a kitchen. Our clients love being able to change the look of a space in an instance! It is crucial to make sure you choose your appliances carefully, i.e. a quiet dishwasher and a good extractor are of huge benefit here. As long as the space is thoughtfully planned there is no reason that it shouldn't work functional and aesthetically....See MorePOLL: What do you plan on growing this summer?
Comments (6)My new project for this year is growing strawberries in hanging baskets. I grew 30 runners into plants for this year and am experimenting with how many I can successfully grow in each 34 cm basket. I'm trying between 4 and 8 using slow release feed and water retaining gel....See MoreExtending (broken plan) without demolishing the back wall?
Comments (12)Hi Leila, I think Jonathan has hit the nail on the head with his comment, I know it's something you don't want to hear because you've probably already made up your mind about 70% to go with your layout design. I'm pretty sure it won't add as much value as another house with an open plan layout. As long you will accept the fact that when you sell the house in the future it won't be valued as much as another house down your street with an open plan layout then that is fine. Buyers will definitely think you done it on the cheap so won't want to pay the price you are expecting but you are expecting a certain price because you've done an extension but it's not an extension that people want unless it's at the right price so if anything, your house might take longer to sell. Of course there will be exceptions, people desperate to move into the area for schools, if you are in a very desirable street etc so you might be abe to sell quicker ( no-one can ever predict the market at the time ). An extension is a lot of money so best to try and get it right even if it means saving up for a few more years, it's not like deciding on a kitchen or bathroom layout out ( bath or no bath sort of question ) which can easily be changed. If you decide to go down the route of knocking down the back walls perhaps you could use the original window in the new back wall and also re-use the bricks that were knocked down to build the new extension? It might save a little bit of money and one of my neighbours has done this. I didn't think of this at the time and I'm pretty sure my builder took all of my good london stock bricks to use on another job as I remember he stacked them all up in a nice pile rather than put them in the skip!! Good luck, I'm sure a fab architect would be able to do some amazing design for you and we would love to see it if you follow your design :-)....See MorePlan for open plan!?
Comments (24)Hi there, hope it is all going well with you extension. We sell luxury cordless lamps that are perfect for open plan rooms. If your furniture is positioned away from walls, you would like to move your lighting around or you have a big space to light up our lamps work really well. They are designed with kids in mind and fully rechargeable so please do get in touch if this is of interest to you. Kind regards, Beth...See Morerav1234
4 years agoThis is what we currently have , 2.5 bedroom - want at least 4 bedrooms ( annex - 5 bedroom ). Kitchen - large enough for sofas and dining table . Not sure if the plans we have had drawn up will give us enough space , eventually want to extend into loft space ,
