We ripped out an old-fashioned kitchen, knocking down the wall between kitchen and dining room, to create an open-plan, modern space.

Comments (6)1st impression carry the island until your a meter from the 1/2 bath wall. Make it a galley with all base cabinets as drawer bases. Do not try to turn the cabinets along the 1/2 bath wall. consider adding a raised bar of 47 cm with to the dining room side....See MoreBefore and After kitchen renovation on a very tight budget.
Comments (15)It is fair comment on not so pretty tiles and unfortunately you can't do much with the floor here because it covers too large area. On a picture you can see only lounge area, which is actually part of the kitchen. Tiles cover floor in the kitchen, lounge area and dining room. Extra large rug wouldn't make it better. This project has two tough points: tight budget and timing....See MoreLighting help for kitchen diner
Comments (0)We are in the process of renovating our kitchen, including knocking through into the dining room and adding french doors from the dining room to the garden. It's west facing and doesn't get huge amounts of sunlight. I'm trying to figure out what to do about lighting. We have 3 pendants that will go over the peninsula but otherwise no lighting decisions - although as we are redoing the ceiling, recessed spots seem like a good idea. The kitchen cabinets will be pale grey high gloss, with an oak worktop. Other than the oven cabinet and the freezer/fridge/pantry wall, there are no high cabinets. My main issues are: where to place spots centre light in dining area: we tend to move the table depending on season/events/mood so don't necessarily want to be stuck with a pendant light that only works best directly above the table do I need spots interspersed with the pendants over the peninsula (they are heavy ceramic so will likely not cast much ambient light). It will be my main baking/food prep area so light will be important. (General plan of kitchen - not entirely to scale but gives a good idea of plans. About 30 sq m in total - the long wall with window and french doors is about 7 m)...See MoreHow to furnish kitchen/diner with center placed wood burner?
Comments (0)Hi Houzz'ers, We have a long kitchen / diner room which is split by a Circle wood burning stove. We want to be able to use this area not only as a kitchen and dining area but also, from time to time as a place to relax and socialize around the fire. (it is a spectacular fire). Due to the proportions, and the central fireplace, we are finding it difficult to furnish appropriately. We are constrained by central fire, two double doors (one into a sun room), a large radiator and the dining room windows. We are interested to see if anyone has any ideas that can make the room functionally work but also look good. The dining room table (it is fully extended and so can retract) has to stay as we have just bought it, however the other furniture can change or be removed. Thanks in advance for you good ideas.. :-) The room is approximately 10 meters by 4.4 meters. ( I hope the diagrams and pictures provide enough detail)...See More
