ideas for kitchen and table

2 years ago

Hi ,

Hoping for your wonderful ideas and whether this would be a good idea! Kitchen is as shown and I really would like to try and add a table in - currently have a lounge diner setup with no plans to combine the two as would end up with the whole of downstairs being open plan (we also have a arch from the dining room leading into a sun room) so an open L shape. My question is whether this looks too busy and whether I should concede that a table isn’t the best way and to continue with the lounge. The table is also currently next to a waste pipe that can’t be moved for this time, so doesn’t sit flush against the wall and can’t go into the corner as there are five doors.. the one next to it is the pantry and then it’s the under stairs cupboard. Next to that the entrance door from the hallway, a small gap where the radiator is and then a door to the dining area/lounge and sunroom - so a lot of doors!

Thoughts really appreciated!

add a table

leave as is

Hi Jo, thank you for posting! I believe that there isn't enough space to add a table with chairs in your kitchen, also consider the times when you will be using it, there won't be space for people's flow.

Should you wish to have some seats in your kitchen, an alternative could be having a bespoke kitchen island and two bar stools. You might end up having a tiny island (considering the space), but it's a way of filling up the space, I thought this was worth proposing to you, look for a quote with kitchen specialists.

Have a good day,

Ketty

We would agree as above, it does seem a bit cramped unfortunately. If you are looking to have the kitchen redone, let us know as we provide a full design service and can discuss how to include seating.

I would move the table to the window end of the room for view out and light while you eat . Perhaps turn it 90 degrees if that would work with the door opening. You may be able to seat 4. Make the rest of the right hand wall - about half of it a floor to ceiling wall of built in storage including the fridge. Suggest deep drawers for lower and double door pantry cupboards sitting above. The left hand wall in a long line of counter top with the cooker, sink, washing machine, lower cupboards or drawers. Tile backsplash along whole wall and two long open shelves plus art. Definitely replace the flooring - timber or even black and white checkerboard.

Two ideas. Both times I would block up the entrance to the second half of the room to make more usuable space. Both ideas have a island with a dining table attached. Obviously these drawings are not to scale but everything should fit in. I would utilise the kitchen cuboards for utilities- intergrated appliances. If you can dont forget to use the space under your stairs as well. Also use the long wall at the bottom of the stairs for extra storage and alcoves.

Hi Maria. It's a lovely kitchen and I must admit I like the white so would probably change the accessories. I would add a huge sunburst clock or mirror above the cabinets (can't work out if it's a clock or mirror above the fire). Add a statement light over the table. Try a coloured splashback behind the cabinets. Add some coloured stools. I would say paint the kitchen chairs but I can see they are good quality! If you do want to paint then either blues, violets or even a very soft grey if you add some coloured accesories. Do make sure the colour blends with the lounge though as you can obviously see through.

Borrow a small table - or get a large box - and try it out. I grew up in a house with a kitchen smaller than that and 5 of us sat around a round table every night for dinner. It had two little folding sides so one side got folded down to push it back against the wall when not in use. I'd look for a round table rather than square/rectangular as they are easier to squeeze past - think about how small a cafe table is, to get an idea for how small you can go - just need space for a plate and a glass each - search for a drop leaf round table to get ideas. Once we were all sat down, there was minimal room for movement, but it did work - because it had to!

It sounds like a busy bit of floor and so I think leaving it clear is the best option or you'll have people squeezing around chairs and banging their hips. But like @CWD suggests, why not try it out. If you don't have a box, just some chairs will be fine too. Good luck

Hi everyone - late update but decided to trial the table after building the wall out slightly so it didn’t have the jutty bits following a redesign. I really like it.. a little cluttered but glad to have a place to seat. Thank you for everyone’s comments and help 🥰
