Deciding on new kitchen design and colour!
Comments (23)Hi. As it's a little tricky space with 3 doors it may be worth employing a planner. Is there potential to move any doors or block the porch window etc (if the room is light enough). I'm not sure you have enough room to open the oven door safely with a cabinet behind it? I would consider narrow depth base units on the "half" wall opposite the oven for extra storage (and move the rad porch side). The kitchen will also feel much more streamlined if all the appliances are integrated. It may work (?!) if starting from left you go double height larder, ff, wm/TD, sink, DW, hob, space, oven. If you like the yellow then go with it! I would however go for a white worktop with pale grey walls and maybe karndean for the floor with grey and blonde tones. Another option is dark grey units (both yellow and dark grey units may close it in a little) with yellow hexagon tiles on the wall as per the pic in your ideabook (which I also like!)....See MoreSuggestions needed for colourful kitchen units for modest cost
Comments (11)I think you should be able to paint some ikea doors as they do a couple of styles in wood (with some veneers, I think). They have also started doing very vibrant blue wardrobes so who knows what you might find in the kitchen department. Another suggestion would be to get some plainer units but buy a second hand dresser that could be painted any colour. You might also find that some bespoke units might be affordable - I imagine that with your style you might go for open shelving and freestanding appliances so you'd need to purchase very few units ( for our last kitchen we literally only purchased 3 base units + a wooden trolley from ikea)....See MoreKitchen unit colour dilemma- please help.
Comments (8)The room looks very modern and spacious and having 2 colours in a kitchen is very popular. With regards to wall units (see image below where shelves have been used) & fridge/freezers, it really is down to personal preference but American fridge/freezers are very bulky, but they do give a lot of fridge space, although the freezers do tend to be a little small. Shelving can look nice and it could keep costs down. Decisions, decisions :-) Here are some pics of shaker kitchens that our customers have sent us with 2 different colours that they have used in their kitchens.

Comments (38)Minnie’s layout looks gorgeous :), and she is correct you can buy extra paint from DIY however bear in mind that it’s sold as a two part and almost impossible to paint by hand as the lacquer added is meant to be sprayed on. However most people seem to successfully paint theirs using a matching service so you might want to bear that in mind. And please reconsider the integrated bin, it’s amazing and you can have just one with a handy drawer at the top. It’s my favourite thing having the bin next to the sink on one side and the dishwasher at the other. I can scrape, rinse and load in the dw without moving. Plus it looks so much neater not having a box sat around your kitchen....See MoreA S
