Is my kitchen design working?

5 years ago

Hi again! Got some great advice on my other house renovation topics so thought I'd put the heart of the home up here ;)

I've been working with a kitchen company to design my kitchen and I feel like it's coming close to finalised, but since I'm going to be living with this for a long time, I'm feeling little nervous about signing off.

Functionality as ever comes first and the kitchen company are great at making sure I have enough storage etc.. so I'm happy on that front. I'd love feedback on

the kitchen design itself
given choice of colours, materials etc, is it going to come together?
I love the patterny hex floor tile but will it look a lil fussy and should I just go for a rectangular plain one?
I'm confused about the flooring - I love both the grey smoky look and the white washed oak. This will most likely span most of our downstairs so it's got to be right!

Appreciate your help. Thanks a mill

Hi Edel. The layout looks good. I like the oven unit up to the ceiling, perhaps mirror the same for the ŵall units? I don't know why but the island base isn't grabbing me, I think it's the way the gap is between the planks. I might be tempted to use the reclaimed wood for a worktop and use the dark grey for the base. If you're going for white ovens, then maybe use the same colour units as the base units so the oven recede. I love your floor tile choice but I think it may be too much for what looks to be a large kitchen? Perhaps a large rectangular grey porcelain tile with a stone finish or maybe a concrete effect But something which has or looks like texture to marry the gloss units with the reclaimed wood? In terms of flooring though I would try and go for a similar colour throughout as it will make the downstairs feel bigger so if you go for the grey wood then go for a grey tile. I agree with jonathan re the bar overhang.
