Hello Jackie, thanks for your query. The windows were from Internorm and we supplied the cabinets ourselves, part of our Nordic range. They are really lovely (we have them in our own kitchen!), featuring solid wood carcasses and oak internals, plinths and rails - they help to give it a slightly softer look compared to a more German-style handleless kitchen.

The colour temperature of the LEDs suit the finishes of the first kitchen, but the second kitchen , with wooden effects, needs a much warmer LED. A fine line when working in kitchens as the cooler the LED, the better the preparation light. Tough one!

Where do you buy your duvets and bedding from?
Q

Well, at last we are happy with our choice, a single duvet each, all seasons type, goose down from John Lewis. My husband feels the heat, so he uses the thin summer one all year, except when it is very hot, then he just uses a sheet, or when it is very cold then he uses the thicker one. I use the winter one all year, the two together, except when it is very cold, then I add his spare one to mine, if it ever gets too hot for me in the summer, then I occasionally use the lightweight one on it's own! To make the bed look good we have a bedspread from John Lewis over the top. Regarding bedding, the best cotton fitted sheets come from John Lewis sale, they are cleverly made to stay put and they do. I have excellent cotton pillowcases which were from the late 1950's, the quality is unbeatable, my mother had a number which she hadn't used and I just wish they were still available, from memory they were made by a firm called Finlay's and they were made in Scotland. The duvet covers I am using came from John Lewis and Debenhams, both cotton and both in the sale. On our spare bed I have White Company sheets etc. and on the twin beds in the other room I have feather and down duvets from Argos and the covers were from the Sheridan seconds shop, very good quality and great value. I prefer to have reasonable quality, if I was very rich I would have freshly laundered linen bedding ironed correctly and an army of helpers to do the donkey work each day, never mind saving the planet, nor the crumpled look!

All of these projects offer challenges due to their small sizes and the idea was to try and be clever with the design whilst also not taking too much away from the overall design of the space - and especially trying not to make the kitchens too overpowering - of course they had to be functional spaces as well!! We were happy with the final outcomes and hope perhaps there is something of use for any one doing any open plans... Queens Gate, London hyde park, london Cornwall gardens, London -

Apart from cooking, how else do you/your household use the kitchen?

Didn't realise the "voting" was one thing only - might explain why "baking" rates so highly as I don't doubt that others went for that first, thinking they could "vote" for others afterwards! Ddddduuuuuhhhhhh. Anyway, we live in the kitchen as it's always warm thanks to an approx. 60-year old solid fuel AgA (runs on anthracite). We sleep in the bedroom, ablute in either the bathroom or shower-room and don't retire to the drawing room until we've lit the multi-fuel stove in there and then enjoy a pre-dinner drink and after dinner TV before going to bed. It may sound a little stuffy or old-fashioned, but that's just too bad. We like it. Oh and I nearly forgot: the dining room is for when we entertain to dinner/lunch only and the study is for.... you guessed it: studying (well, storing books, desktop PC, and as a 3rd spare bedroom if truth be told).
