North-East facing kitchen sky light window owners!

2 years ago

Hello people of Houzz.
My partner and I found a house. The kitchen / garden is North-North-East facing. If we were to buy the house we would do a rear extension and have sky light windows with bi folds.
I would really really appreciate it if anyone with a north-east facing kitchen with sky lights could upload pictures of their kitchen during the afternoon so we could see how much light is captured.
Thank you so much!

Hi Anna, I know it's a pain inheriting an outdated room but how exciting to make it your own! I think a scandi look would really energise and brighten this space too. Take a look at two rooms we have styled in this way. Our blinds fit perfectly in bay window areas allowing extra floor space and not blocking any heat from radiators. The blinds in the shoots are dim-out but if you have a north facing bedroom chances are it's cold so I suggest our Bloc Out blinds which not only provide total blackout for the bedroom but have been independently tested by The British Board of Agrément and are proven to reduce heat loss through the window by 43%.

Carolina that was my inspiration picture! I think it is further up this thread somewhere. I love it. I think I am just a bit concerned about the texture of the rug being almost exactly same as Sofas and footstool whereas this pic has a bit more variation with the coffee table. But seeing the mock up that celery girl has posted definitely reassures me (thank you!)

We also have a North facing lounge for which we wanted a warm, cosy feel as we only really use it in the evenings... We painted it Hague Blue and love the result! In the dining room we painted the ceiling Hague Blue too. Our kitchen is Green Smoke which is also a gorgeous colour and may go better with the grey sofas...? There are a couple of other greens I’ve seen and liked too but will have to find the names!

Hi ! Just looking at your plans briefly - it’s clear that due to cabinetry on all four walls - you won’t get a very big table in there ! You mentioned no wall units due to having enough storage elsewhere - but - if you had wall cabinets storage and storage to the patio doors on the top wall - you could take off some perimeter cabinets to give room for a table that’s larger than ‘just’ a four seater one ? There’s a lot more that could be done with this space in my professional opinion. Re colours - in a north facing room if you chose ‘winter’ colours you will need to warm it up a tad with woods and other tricks like tactile accessories. Scandi style for example uses whites and pale greys warmed up with pale woods and real or faux animal fur on benches or seats to add warmth ... Alternatively brilliant white cabinetry on pale Egyptian Cotton walls can look great too and is warmer than most grey toned paint . re lighting - if this drawings is true and it’s a flat extension then lighting could be LEDs in ceiling throughout - but if the new part is a vaulted ceiling then cable lighting might work or stronger LEDs higher up could also work but there will be a shadow line where the change in height happens. ... To summarise, this is ok - could be better and if worked on by someone with more of a ‘design driven’ background - time could be spent trying different colours for you and looking at lighting options and the table would be included in the drawings to show you what space you actually end up with ... you could see what it could look like in a more real image. If you click on my name or icon it will take to to my pro page with some past projects that might give you an idea of the difference a design done purposely for you, with no other agenda, could make. ( then send it to all the online retailers and builders merchants etc to compare like for like on their prices )
