French window or sliding patio door kitchen dilemma?
Comments (12)Hi Mandy, thanks for taking the trouble to respond and for the photo. Love your garden, great that you can enjoy it so much. I think we're now fairly set on going for a sliding patio door, for the very reasons that you mention, that is the uninterrupted view without too many profiles in the way. We've been looking again today and saw a lovely one. We had a patio door in our previous property over twenty years ago but from what I saw today they're much nicer now. We already have a couple of French windows in other rooms but want the new kitchen to be more contemporary. The one we saw this afternoon was at a company called Clearview. The salesman assured us that their doors are the most secure (not sure if this is just a sales ploy or not). Either way I quite like the clear look of the sliding patio door so will have a good look around at other companies before we finally decide where to buy. Such a relief that one more decision has been made. Last week's trauma was finding a good brick match for the extension. Thanks again. So grateful for everyone's input here on Houzz....See MoreStyle of Door into new kitchen extension.

Comments (19)Some people are very sniffy about Ikea kitchens and imply they're of a cheap standard, but I have found the quality to be good and sturdy and certainly better than the Wickes kitchen I had the misfortune to encounter. Obviously, they can't compete with the likes of DeVol, but I would put them at the top in their price bracket. My mother had an Ikea kitchen installed in the late 80's and it was still going strong in 2010, when we replaced it to sell the house after her death. On the strength of that, when we re-did our kitchen last year, we didn't hesitate in getting Ikea for that. The savings we made on the cabinets, meant we could get high end appliances and Corian worktops. Our lovely kitchen fitter made some smashing bespoke touches - different plinths, tongue and groove side panels, matching bookcase etc to finish it off. You can even have a no obligation sit down with one of their designers in the Ikea store to plan it out. They are really good at making the most of your space - rather than a lot of others, who plan your kitchen according to how best their cabinets will fit rather than what you actually need....See MoreKitchen layout and position of doors for new extension
Comments (5)I agree that the space between the sink and hob is dangerous and this kitchen is divided by the back door. But there are many many ways this could be planned. Have you considered using a concept planner to help you visualise the layout?...See MoreElsieFrenchy
