Small Kitchen/Front room

HU-896715905

2 years ago

Hi, i'd like to upgrade my small kitchen/reception room with an emphasis on making it more modern.

i'm potentially interested in:

- a new colour scheme

- curtains and rug

- karndean flooring (current is cheap lino)

- new work tops

Cupboards needs to stay.

I have no preference in colours, or preference in anything; just looking for someone with a more educated eye to give me their opinion.

Thank you!

Do you have another seating area or is this the only one?

Swapping worktops is easy enough. Look online at the major brands. Most of them will offer samples. Look at Formica, Prima and Bushboard for starters. All are good brands.

Keep any rugs in the sofa area, not in the kitchen.

There are alternatives to Karndean that are much cheaper. I opted for one of them and my floor is from the Eternity range. Again look online. I think choosing a darker colour would look nice. I presume your floor under the lino is level?

If you are keeping the grey sofa then that is a neutral colour so you will have a lot of colour choices to blend in.

If the window behind the sofa is the only one out of the direct kitchen area I would be tempted to keep it as it is and the same as the door the the window by the sink.

I don't think you need a splash back, but the tiles are nice. They will look good.

Is this a new build? I've seen a few new builds with horrible layouts. One even had the wc opening into the kitchen. Unfortunately developers are only interested in ticking boxes. They will sell this house with "downstairs wc" or "one and a half" bathroms, but in reality the best thing to do would be to remove the wc and create a dining area between the kitchen and living room. Even putting the wc under the stairs would mean it opens into the living room. The house isn't really big enough for one.

Consider putting the tv in the alcove with a bench seat in front. A rise and fall table can tradition from a coffee table into a dining table as you need it. Folding dining chairs can be hidden behind the sofa until you need them or consider having an ottoman that can be either extra sitting space in the living room or dining seating as required.

Hi natashadx6, we work with many customers who have open plan spaces and the layout can be tricky as you want to make the space flow along with it being practical and zoning each area whilst it still feeling like one open plan space that works well together.
