Double oven/Two Single Ovens/Combi Microwave & Oven
Comments (52)#Mrs Lanks - having altered our original kitchen when we moved in 13 years ago we are now freshening up paintwork, replacing worktops and installing new appliances as the layout we chose then still works for us. We presently have a Rangemaster but they have changed the style so are considering two single ovens either side by side or on top of each other. If the latter, does the top oven need to be supported rather than just placed on top of the bottom one.....? Also, which brand did you end up buying as we are researching Neff and Bosch which both seem to have a problem cleaning the doors as you apparently need to take the glass door out....!?...See MoreKitchen hob location
Comments (7)I'm in the middle of planning my kitchen for new extension too, and thinking of putting the hob under a window. I've found a few things online where folks have done this and are happy with it. There's a blog called simply the nest where someone writes about doing this (and includes photos). https://www.simplythenest.com/simplythenestjournal/2018/3/18/our-experience-of-using-an-induction-hob Unlike in the blog, I'm considering getting one of the induction hobs that have the built in extractor rather than a seperate one above. The Bora mentioned by OnePlan is a bit too pricey for me unfortunately :-( but someone mentioned on another Houzz thread that they'd got the AEG version from eBay at a very reasonable price, so might go down that route. https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/4756827/bora-induction-hob-with-down-draft So many decisions!!...See MoreKitchen Design - units next to ovens
Comments (23)@Gabby Wong @obobble @OnePlan (Concept planners) Thanks all! Bruises subsiding ;-) It's just so overwhelming - the number of decisions to make, and the desire to make it just perfect. Having lived with a kitchen that we installed 19 years ago that has most definitely NOT worked for us I am beyond excited about a new and practical space. This is part of a much bigger ground floor remodel and I have spent many many hours thinking and discussing options with different and unbiased kitchen designers, friends with perfect and imperfect kitchens, and friends who know our kitchen and how I use it. There are many restrictions in the space - as there are in all kitchens but we are getting something close to ideal now. I have written down everything I use in the kitchen that stored everything - on paper - in the new one - considering carefully how and where it is and will be used. So silly things like where do I hang tea towels to dry when there isn't a radiator in the kitchen area shouldn't give me worry lines - I know when it is installed there will be an end of unit where I can do this. but that doesn't stop me thinking about it! The image that the designer sent is not perfect we both know - software limitations - and I will definitely ask them to install either the combi oven or single oven at low or under counter height - that's what our current oven is, so bending down to take out my turkey isn't a big deal - as you say, safer than standing on the dusty IKEA toddler stool. And the top of that unit can hold the glasses - my other worry line creator. Anyway, your thoughts and ideas are helping hone the design. But for now, we're sticking with the american F/F - impractical, over-priced, sticky outy - but I rather like the industrial look and lines to break up the fitted kitchen-ness....See MoreNew location of kitchen. Good idea or not?
Comments (23)You've had loads of suggestions, but I'd go with the general idea of tucking the utility (including a tumble dryer space and an overhead hanging rail - SheilaMaid) and shower out of the way probably under the stairs and going back on that side of the building, then opening out the back section, assuming you have garden/yard at the back that could be pretty. I'd also discuss with a structural engineer about pushing through from the back reception room, either by extending into the side return or through the junction of walls at the back of the hall, keeping all the Victorian mouldings and features that still remain. Upstairs - think about your bathroom placements depending on the floor structure, running plumbing from the front of the building to the back may be a issue as you have to have some fall on the piping and you might not have enough floor depth. Other than that good luck, it a great sized house....See Morekaremore55
