Kitchen design dilemma
Comments (21)Hi Thank you for the lengthly post with lots of inspiration...I'm yet to look at everything in detail, but I've skimmed through and taken a look at the images... I just haven't got round to creating ideasbook ; I must admit, when I first started using houzz, I didn't realise ideasbook was where I could store all the images I liked so I was screenshotting the images to save onto my gallery for future reference... which is only useful for myself, not others who would like to give advice, unfortunately. I quite like the copper-bronze kettle, I'd been deliberating a while as to what kettle to get and I think the copper may be the way to go... I like the use of plants and bold colours as you've suggested. For someone taking a dab, you've got a lot of stuff on there to my taste, (all the wooden elements) but I feel that the space already has an overpowering sense of wooden colours textures with the flooring, splashback and work surface so want to add something different to create a slight contrast, hence thinking of bold bright colours. I have considered a breakfast bar on the window wall, opposite to the kitchen with colourful stools (I'll attach an inspiration image, which again, I unfortunately screenshotted in place of saving to ideas book). I think I will start an ideas book so I can get advice more suited to my style instead of making people guess. For blinds, I was thinking either horizontal or vertical blinds... I'm not a keen fan of roller blinds as they don't give that in between stage where you want light to be coming in but you also want that privacy factor. I do quite like the light fitting, it's sort of contemporary, industrial but does it hang low...we are a tall family and wouldn't like to knock in to it. Thank you for all your help Minnie...highly appreciate it A x...See MoreKitchen Design Dilemma - Sink Position?
Comments (24)Using a large chopping block that slides over the sink will bring back your joined prep area. In most homes the worktop above the DW is constantly stacked with plates ready to go in ( by family members too lazy to put it in the DW) so it’s better to have this in option C too. Ultimately it’s your choice though, I’m just pointing out the safety issue out of concern only. I’d hate for you to tip while trying to drain a large pan of pasta....See MoreKitchen design dilemma - colours!
Comments (4)White or an off white normally goes well with oak or inky colours. I’d keep all the back units the same personally. You can add personality with lights, stools, accessories etc I know you’re happy with functionality but just wondering where your kettle, toaster etc will go? there’s also no space on the right of the sink for washing up. Could you just have your main sink on the island with dishwasher and bin etc?...See MoreNarrow (3.8m X 5.2m) kitchen design dilemma
Comments (3)The 2 windows are they same or being replaced by patio doors to garden? If so, which is a door? If not doors, I'd want the windows to be the same for cohesion in the space. Maybe a layout like this, banquet bench type dining area could maybe work?...See MoreJoanne cranny
