Comments (5)The long black one is the back garden door way.The smaller one on the same wall is the door way leading to extension;s corridor. The black square at the front is the door way to enter the room. The white squares are the supportive pillars for the back wall and the long one is the chimney breast. Thank you for your answer :)...See MoreNeed help on kitchen floor tiles
Comments (33)Hi catbox/emerald18 - your kitchen is absolutely stunning - I love it - mostly because your style is the same as mine - only the tiles I've chosen are Henley Cool from Topps Tiles (sage green/blue). I've also had a few moments of indecision but I've had a picture and sample of the tiles pinned up for months and I still love them. I'd chosen matt slab style kitchen door fronts but I might be convinced by your photo to change to Shaker. I am also going for the wood worktop but can't decide whether to have a Belfast sink or not. What sink did you choose? I also can't decide on a splashback, but like white painted brick + something more cleanable by the sink and hob. Once again, I love love love your kitchen - I'm pinning the photo of it up with my tiles picture in case I get future wobbles about my dream kitchen...See MoreKitchen Help
Comments (9)Happy to help ! I'm only a short swim away in England !! I think if you want a truly opulent cream for the kitchen cabinets - I'd suggest you get a colour match for the range ! It looks a very creamy cream ! Think it could be stunning ! Then have slightly lighter walls and tiles to keep the room feeling light and airy ! If you have walnut stain for your worktop on your island , I'd suggest using that on your exposed legs if you go for the dipped paint look on the table and chairs ! Are you having the classic CC shaped island ?!?...See MoreNeed help with my kitchen please
Comments (7)I believe the cabinets are a dark charcoal, sometimes also known as off black... The valences can be even more super simple to make yourself if you buy two table runners with a similar design and sew three ends together :) then sew rod pocket and install the rod on the back of the overhang :) If you can't find table runners, it's such simple sewing that definitely can be done by a beginner....See MoreKirsty Hughes

4 years agoOurs is not quite ready yet, waiting for the hood, tiling of the backsplash. I went with worktop larders as I really needed to max out on storage in our small space and added top boxes to the ceiling to eliminate the need for cleaning grease of the tops. Our units are the inframe Helmsley.

4 years agoI will say now I can't design kitchens (Or draw)! I have also unintentionally drawn similar to the design you had done however with differences. I think the pantry style unit on the right balances the tall cupboards? The magnet design is also a bit off putting having the surround/shelf the same height as the tall units and hopefully the cupboard layout either side of the range feel a bit more Tom Howley?. Is it possible to extend the sink run a bit, I don't know if the bifolds are in/ordered but it would be good to incorporate a bin. I think you also need a bigger gap between the island and DW as it's a trip hazard. I don't know if this would work but once you've added your spice cupboards within the range surround, antique mirror splashback set within a frame and your architraves it all feel a bit more Tom Howley with your marble and colour scheme :)
It's definitely worth speaking to Karen though, hopefully she can squeeze you in and try a few different layouts

4 years agoThanks, glad you like it, as I say design is not my thing! I guess they are getting wise to it now with online kitchens not offering design. I think DIY have a design tool with tips if you wanted to play around. Karen's fees are only the price of a DW so it's well worth the money. You have a design that works for you personally, is safe and practical in accordance with regs, things open properly etc plus you don't run the risk of missing anything. The last thing you want is to miss bits off the order or order wrong things as it could cost you more in the long run. I sound like I'm doing the big sell now lol!
The other thing to mention is plinths to get the Tom Howley, DeVol look etc (Karen got a right pair with me and Monica!). Monica is having hers made but she painted her kitchen herself In a LG colour. If you did want to do similar it may be worth seeing if you can get extra paint from DIY. Good luck anyway, it looks like it's going to be a fab room :)

4 years agoRe integrated bin, my joiner used some drawer sliders and some MDF to turn an ordinary 400 wide base unit into a bin drawer that I can get a large bin into - the photo is the one in my utility room which I use for dog food, but I have two others in my kitchen, one for recycling and one for other rubbish.
