Comments (9)Hi Sheron, Kitchen is looking great - is it just just behind the hob you were looking to do? Couple of ideas: 1) could get a piece of clear glass cut to suit and screw in place (with rubber grommets to protect glass) - you can then use it like a picture frame and put photos/maps/postcards etc behind it - and change whenever you want 2) I'm still stalling on what to do with our hob splash back, so I've painted that section of the wall in matching paint, but in an eggshell finish. This means it's wipe-down and keeps the room quite minimal whilst I decide - but I might keep it this way! 3) tiles always look great and are very durable - I'd always recommend getting lots of samples before committing to any of them though 4) you could get a slab of the same worktop material to run up the wall? Re: the stools - whilst not very modern looking, they look fairly robust and reliable - so you could always investigate keeping these and painting these in your chosen feature colour?...See MoreTo have an island or not to have an island?
Comments (17)I agree with many of the comments on here in that if they really work in the space you have then why not? However they don't work for every space and other ideas can make the kitchen easier to work within and still have an impact. In our kitchen a peninsular worked best. It is 90 cm wide so I have kitchen units one side and on the dining side I have a long shelf for all my cookery books, drawers underneath that, and a cabinet for our water softener. There is an overhang at one end with stools for 2 people. I could have fitted an island in, but it would have ended up much smaller and less useful than the peninsular, with less storage....See Morekitchen extension - extractor over island unit with pitched roof
Comments (13)Yes, we have! Got a fancy Neff induction hob and with the integrated extractor with a recirc set-up and then an externally venting extractor up on the ceiling neatly tucked away. This got us the coveted building regs sign off and works for us. The (isolator) switch for the fan is at worktop level so easy to whack on when you’re cooking up a storm and want some extra extraction. But tbh we haven’t used ours much, the in-hob one is fine! The extractor is white and really low-profile so it blends into the ceiling, plus it’s closed until you switch it on, so no unsightly venty parts on display day-to-day Let me know if you’d like to see pics......See MoreIsland Lighting Help
