Awkward kitchen (2)
Comments (2)If you are like me who cannot tackle the remodel on one big project expense, I would start with your breakfast table nook. Then I suggest working on the cabinets, and lastly changing the tile wall with or without counter top/sink update. An update of the faucet at the start won't be too much expense either. I am assuming you're not fond of the blue tile - wanting it to be in off/ white or grey tiles eventually. If you absolutely cannot live with the blue tile while progressing with the project, I suggest painting it like several commentators suggested as a temporary fix - just to get the pain out from looking at it :{) Otherwise, I suggest to leave it alone and save your money, time and effort. For the breakfast nook, I think additional storage is always an advantage like two commentators suggested for your wall by your table - using clean line metal/steel brackets and white shelves and wall painted with light cool grey in your ideabook. You can display not only kitchen items but also some artwork on the shelves to make it look uncluttered. I also like your posted ideabook for a bar style chair and table (Mal Corboy) but with low open back chairs for airy look (Kelley Gardner.) Assuming it is safe to cover your radiator panel (sic maybe - not sure of term), the wall end of table can be opened with cabinet doors on both sides or at least the one facing the boiler side. (Pls refer to 1st image.) For the cabinets, I suggest going up to the ceiling even above the window/sink - using simple panel doors with long sleek hardware just like Merry Powell suggested. Going up means less wall tile to change later in the project - an added advantage. I also think that painting the lower cabinet that same light grey as your wall also looks pretty just like in your Cucinabella Bella choice in your ideabook while top cabinets are in white. Just be careful which white shade you choose. A true off-white may not look good with the grey you posted in your ideabook. Your boiler corner can have its own two-door corner cabinet or 4-door cabinet if you paint the lower ones grey. (Pls refer to 2nd image). I am attaching images with edits using my unglamorous graphic 'editor' - excuse the roughness ;) I also included images posted in your ideabook mixed with my added images. May be a lot of work but have fun while doing it. I'm sure it will be much better looking each step you take....See MoreHouzz Live Chat - Designing a Dream Kitchen, 1 pm, 15 July 2016
Comments (80)A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years....See MoreHelp with Kitchen/Dining area layout - new build
Comments (1)I think I would have one set off steps down and move the dividing presses to the side where your sink is, making it a peninsula. That would make for a nice L shaped banquette seating area where your blank wall is, and the gallery backdrop would be great there. You could also have a nice long table as opposed to the small square one. I also hope you don't mind me saying that I think you need to reconsider the placement of your hob. It's right beside a door which will be awkward and you have your back to the room when entertaining. You will have such a nice kitchen that you should make the most of it for entertaining. Even you consider putting it on the island facing the dining area?...See MoreNeed help with colour for 1 wall in white kitchen
Comments (1)As you have blue within your scheme already, I'd try to pull this into the design. Possibly 'Parma Gray' - Link Below http://www.farrow-ball.com/parma-gray/paint-colours/farrow-ball/fcp-product/100027 Let me know what you think. Kerry...See MoreFIOBALA
