bathroom &kitchen design suggestions
I would appreciate suggestions of layout for this 1970s lean on extension- veranda type- bathroom / kitchen area. I know it is not ideal but that's what it is.
bathroom dimenssions: width 1.65m lenght=1.85m height from 3m to 2.25m
partition wall is thin wood with sliding door
somewhere must be the waste system from the 2 floors above, but that I will know after removing all the stuff as there are no plans or details of work carried on before!( I did get a 'great' estate agent and solicitor)
Please , please help
Thank you

urgent kitchen and bathroom layout suggestions needed
Comments (9)Hello `Sarah, I think the kitchen is fantastic!!! Please keep it!!! So I have some suggestions.. I think it has some great elements.. The design and colour of the cupboards plus those tiles are really fabulous, also love the floor too.. I'd keep it all!!! The top cupboards are gr8 without glass and your image is very different and dare I say not nearly so interesting.. Maybe you can celebrate the uniqueness of it! Minnie is right to suggest moving the cabinets closer to the ceiling (it has been lowered in part but I would leave it as is) easily done without damage and you can move the boiler in line with them.. .. This is a gr8 idea as it will feel a little more open and spacious.. you could then paint above the tiles a lovely warm chalky white or off white.. and any other wall areas.. It will balance the units out and I would definitely keep the colour the same here top and bottom... If you don't want to change the current configuration too much and keep costs down, I would buy a free standing chrome range oven like Smeg dual fuel and extractor Aeg angled hood and fit in same place as current oven.. Dualit toaster and kettle Bugatti Vera in chrome.. Angled extractor hood Aeg and a smeg 50's white fridge would be nice here too! With the fridge I feel it could stand at the end of the counter top.. Leave the sink exactly as it is and the boiler too, all you then need to do is put a cabinet shell and door on the front of the opening where fridge was and paint it and the bits of cabinet that are white to the shade of yellow and voila! Anther storage space for the dishwasher. I would move that metal shelf or add another if you like it.. .. Add a polycarbonate pendant Creatures by Nigel Coates which would look amazing with the kitchen.. Also the kitchen is definitely not past it!!! (added that bit after reading the comment further down) : ))...See MoreNeed bathroom inspirations for compact bathroom
Comments (10)Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work...See MoreFREE kitchen & bathroom design software ( CAD)
Comments (4)That good software design is great, I asked a company to develop something similar for me and it stayed similar but I had more options in the menu for interior modeling thanks to these dedicated development team that helped me finish the project....See MoreWhere to put additional bathroom(s)
Comments (4)Thanks pjbell! My first thought was 'no way, we use bedroom 2 and can't lose it - far too radical'. But then I stopped and looked and actually, that may well be worth considering! All bedrooms are in use - bedroom 2 is our studio/craft room/office. Kids are in the back bedroom and top floor. I've got my heart set on an en-suite and keeping our large bedroom but have been mindful of making the studio too small so was opting for a small shower room. I've been pondering if there is anything we could do to have a larger family bathroom but couldn't see how. This could give a large family bathroom and more luxurious en-suite. The back room is south facing so would be much better for a studio - its worth seeing the size if we split into two bedrooms. I do like the fact that all bedrooms are decent doubles and wouldn't want them much smaller. We are going to be here for the next 10-15 years and will then look to downsize when the kids have flown the nest. This will be the only major work we'll do so although it needs to be right for us, I also want it to be as appealing as possible to the next family. Definitely food for thought - thanks!...See More

My guess your soil pipe is in the top right corner, because it looks like your shower is not against the side wall, is it?
Cam Man

Yes you are right the shower is not against the wall.
The water pipes are on the left corner , an electric water heater is fitted there.sink is front of the window and toilet seat next to the shower. I attached a plan.
I can change the window to a smaller one(1m) and have a longer shower (I gave up having a bath)

4 years agoAnd here is the full plan of the lean on veranda that hosts the kitchen and bathroom.
I would like to move the washing machine under the stairs and have a table in that space/ cynically looking in the bathroom on the side and in the garden straight ahead

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoCould your back door be moved? Quick layout suggestion:
Bathroom: Electric water heater could go above the toilet, radiator under the window. Shower 100x80cm (tiled floor or custom pan, because of soil pipe in the corner).Kitchen: (CW) Built in fridge, corner cabinet, cooktop, either washing machine or drawers, sink, cabinet. Open upper units on left wall, because of extractor hood.

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoBetter use a smaller sink to gain more workspace (45cm unit). And some extra units (be it 40cm deep) to place toaster, coffemachine, etc. Can't suggest a builder nor costs, as I'm in the Netherlands.
I sell Rotpunkt kitchens at work (good quality at a 'reasonable' price), but have an ikea kitchen at home. Husband and I both have a technical background and budget is tight, so we diy most of our home improvements.
Where is the 3 meter wall in your layout? Did I read the measurements wrong?

4 years agoHi Rinq,
The height is 3 m sloping down to 2.20m.
If I move all kitchen in line I free up space on the windows side .I plan to put more cupboards and shelves up on the wall.
From the living room you see the washing machine and the fridge.see picture.

4 years agoThe scale looks more like this. I've placed a new kitchen with similar layout in there. But washing machine and fridge out of view.
But then what's in the bathroom that makes it 165cm? :)
