Our New Kitchen

9 years ago

This is our new kitchen, cream cabinets with walnut wrap. Handles are chrome finish along with the microwave and instruments on the oven. Same goes for the recessed lights also.

Dilemma is what to put on the back wall of the kitchen? My preference is for a coloured splashback all the way around to add a bit of colour.

What do people think? Id be extremely grateful for advice

Glass subway tile, soft creams, pale blues, or yellows. I would stick with muted colors. But definitely color not one dimensional solid color. The glass tile will have a nice sparkle to it, makes it bright.

The sink in the island is the way to go here. As Lampert Dias mentioned above, your island can be larger than drawn. I prefer the sink and the breakfast bar at the same height as pictured above, but some people like to step the bar side up to protect it from the sink. It is an option. You can put the pantry and refrigerator on either side of the wall or even split them up and flank the wall as long as the refrigerator door can open. I would take the opportunity for more storage or display and put a cabinet on the wall behind the breakfast bar. Consider using a shallower cabinet there like 17" deep. It could be like a "china" cabinet display piece or more pantry storage if needed.

I'd put another set of sliding doors between the lounge and the playroom rather than a solid wall. Reason being is that it gives you more options. You get to sequester the mess and noise when you want and you still get a good flow later on when the kidlets aren't such mess monsters. I'd make both sets of sliding doors have full-length frosted glass inserts. That will let in the light. Or you could use shoji doors if that suits the decor better. From your plan, I'm assuming the house is semi-detached, so windows on the right wall aren't possible? Also, you might consider a pocket door from the hallway to the lounge and from the hallway to the utility room. That way you don't have to allow space for door swing.

Hi Divechick, No i love the layout, the kitchen is a good layout for using the dishwasher, fridge and cooker all close by., We have our plates and bowls in drawers which i love too.One thing we do need is more storage though. We are looking at knocking through to next room next year so the whole room will be wider and incorporate a utility. I think i will keep the general kitchen layout the same though but add more presses!

Finalising our new kitchen design. Next step is to decide on cabinet finish. Think we are going to go for a painted shaker finish. Need people's opinion on whether you prefer the woodgrain showing through or a flat finish. Looking at Kitchen stori - Wakefield versus Georgia. Thanks
