Knocking down a wall and skirting boards
Comments (6)I have been faced with this many times in the past. I generally ask the client to choose the profile they prefer then take a sample to the joiners shop where they can generally produce something near identical and I wouldn't have thought you would have a problem with yours...See MoreKitchen makeover wall knocking down dilema
Comments (4)It's tricky to say without a plan, but some things to consider: - An eat in kitchen makes a great family space and will increase the resale appeal of the property - A clever kitchen designer will be able to work in a solution for boot and coat storage (again this is tricky without a plan). Perhaps a small boot cupboard/shelf just outside so you take your boots off before coming into the house. - A long narrow room can feel cramped but having a run of kitchen units on one side only will help open up the space. - Consider open shelving instead of top wall units - Clearly defined spaces can also break up a longer area, for instance using different flooring. - Think about the wall colour and keep it light and airy to maximise visual space. Hope that gives you some food for thought!...See MoreWhich walls to knock down?

You might also want to consider if the front door is better elsewhere. You should also give serious thought to your budget as clearly knocking down walls and moving the kitchen isn’t free. One service you might want to use is a Concept Planner- this will help you to visualise what is possible before speaking to builders about what is achievable for your budget....See MoreKnock down wall or remodel
