Building a Home Design Dilemma Kitchens

Kitchen window bench

6 years ago

Hi all, I would appreciate help if possible. We are building a house and the kitchen window faces a beautiful mountain view. I am thinking of putting a long window in to create some bench seating here. Window is already 3 metres wide. It's a choice between sink under this window at counter level or lower window with bench and the sink in the Island next to the window? Thank you

Hi Rachael, there are pros and cons to having a sink by the window or not. In general its down to how you want to use the room and the overall layout. I would prefer to put in the bench seat and look at the view, versus the time spent at the kitchen sink. If you'd like to get in touch we have an interior designer who could offer some more detailed advice.

aaah ! makes sense now - hey any one can grow parsley, basil or thyme ! you can buy them in pots in the supermarket when (and if) you kill them !!! my husband thinks I have green fingers because our herbs always look great !!! little does he know I replace them monthly !!! lol !! and a sprig looks great on tinned soup, that you can then claim you cooked from scratch too !!!

For a kitchen, my favorite is a roman shade. It gives you the beauty of fabric with the function of a shade.

A few things I would change from experience...instead of a single and double door I would spend the extra money and put in a bifold corner section...would open up the space so much more. as for the kitchen...completely flip your design...put your breakfast bar closer to the window...make it large and multipurpose with the hob in it and then put your main band of cabinets either left, right or behind? We have recently restructured our existing cabinets to this layout and put in new countertops and it works far better than before!
