Jen, are you sure everything is in proportion? I'm asking, because that store seems to be just a bit wider than a door (so about 1 m) which is fine, but doesn't give much space to manoeuvre inside it. Also, a bit too many doors in a small space, but I'm afraid I can't offer you a remedy for that. You have two wide, massive windows and a door in between, I think that will give plenty of light. Personally, I'd just add skylights or a glass roof. Or a long strip of glass all along What you don't seem to have is ventilation windows. Trust me, you're going to want one in the utility, or at least a good fan. Transom style windows could work too if you can open them. I really wish you'd see an architect... there are lots of different, small things that a professional can spot from miles away that you wouldn't even consider. As I said, I regret we didn't; our house is great, but it could've been even better!

There are a lot of products out there that claim to hold up to all sorts of indignities, but they are at best a temporary solution, especially in a room that take a lot of abuse such as a kitchen. If you send a photo and an ideal budget, Houzzers will flock to your assistance!

A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years.

The Howdens website describes the door as 19mm thick mdf with a PET finish and a 0.8/1.5mm ABS edging, which means its a vinyl wrapped cut and edged door. As the door has a deep J groove handle profile the sides of the door are cut and edged with the 0.8 edging and the bottom has a 1.5mm edging (due to manufacturing limitations with J profile handleless doors). These are a cheaply made door and the finish of the edging around the handle profile can be quite poor and susceptible to water damage.

Most of the J profile doors on the market that have a deep J handle are made from 22mm thick mdf which means that the handle groove is bigger for your fingers to fit and the back of the groove is thicker/stronger and they are finished in paint (so there's no exposed edges).

Also with the Howdens door range, their end decor panels are only 16mm thick where as the majority of decor panels are 18mm or some at 22mm to match the doors or I have one of my suppliers offers decors even thicker at 28mm.
