magnetic black chalk paint (6-8 layers required to actually make it magnetic). It looks amazing, it is easy to clean, it's kid friendly. Multiple ways to use it - draw a family tree or the weekly menu, decorate with fridge magnets or magnetic photos or
leave it untouched and hang a home grown herb garden on it. It gives depth to the space.

May I suggest you repost your question in the Design Dilemma category as it will probably get more responses there?

Do we have space for a 5ft x 4ft kitchen island?

I am sorry to say you don't have room. You are only giving yourself 36" in front of the ovens and only 31" for passage on the opposite side and 42" is not enough between the island and the sink. You might find a smaller 30" wide x 48" moveable stainless steel prep table and placed in the opposite direction, it might work for additional counter surface but not give you the seating you would like.

Maybe try putting shelves to cover the neck of the extractor fan and filling it with spices and oils

Kitchen layout ideas

Hi guys, we've bought a house off the plans. It's a 4 bed end of terrace in a new Estate. We got to visit our house in a site visit recently and the kitchen is smaller than we expected. It's always hard to visualise space. I've included a plan below. The kitchen is 5m wide and flat against one wall. There are 2 doors for utility and family room in a corner that causes issues for the layout. Ideally we would want an island and a good long dining table. We can't find a way to place both in the space without completely cramping the kitchen. The reason for the island is for additional cabinets and counter space. Another option was for the double doors into the living room to be a solid wall, and for us to extend the kitchen around to the full wall, thereby eliminating the need for an island and allowing plenty of room for a good sized dining table. Another option is to put in a nice large island and moving the dining table into the family room, but it seems odd to be creating a seperate dining room. I would love to hear some of your thoughts on options of keeping the double doors, island and dining table.

Hey Erika, I’ve been looking into magnetic black chalk paint and I’m glad I read your post. From what I heard, I thought these are not very good and strong in terms of holding e.g. A piece of paper but from what you are saying, you simply need more coats? would you recommend a particular brand for these?

Has anyone actually used the Home by Me site? I don’t get it.
Furthermore I think it is a bit of a cheek to blatantly divert visitors from one site to your own

Are you referring to an entire wall or the splash back area? Do you have any photo's, so we can see the style of the kitchen?

@Jonathon I used the HomeByMe site but only for the 3d design app. Didn’t even look at any forums or design ideas on there. Was a really good app otherwise

Jonathan - which home by me site? the 3D Design website? I've used it. It's not bad... but there is a very limited amount of customisable furniture in it.

@Ewa Mc - I used Dulux in my own kitchen but sadly they discontinued that now. for one of my clients we used this one: https://amzn.to/2Dj9uB3 and it worked just as good.

There are 2 tips I can give you - don't rush the paint. It need to dry completely before you apply the next layer. Be generous with the paint - put on thick layers. And go for 6-8-10 layers. Leave it for at least 2 weeks before you start writing on it.

It's not like the fridge but good quality magnets that are not too heavy hold onto it. We drew a big tree on it and decorated with square family photos printed on magnet with Cheerz (an iPhone app). All the magnet printing services I tried this was the best but the magnets come slightly curved - so I put them on the fridge for a few days to straighten them out - after that they hold perfectly onto the magnetic paint.
