Yes, usually one such bay window on the side where you have a sink works great. This of course depends on your kitchen size or its actual dimensions, as you might also have an island or dining area attached to it which might need its own sunlight, thus necessitate a new window.

Are you able to share something like a picture or original house from which to se these other details.

Would be great.

Thanks

Any advice on how to make my kitchen work ?

The way to get your own eyes on the issue is to start with a general clear out so you can really "see" your kitchen and "keeping" room. Box up and remove all the stuff - tops of cabs, counters, art on walls, fridge and floor clutter, photos, area rugs. Then dig into the cabs and the hutch and remove all the items you only use once or twice a year. Store those away from the kitchen so you gain more room in the cabs for items you regularly use. Is that a radiator on the wall by the TV? I'm thinking the hutch niche would make a great computer area with a built-in desk. Are there any other doors into this room and is this your only living room? What size is the window at the table? Are you up for more than rearranging things? Any construction you can do? Can you take more pix, comment here and attach images?

How will roman blind and roller blinds mix in a large kitchen

We mix treatments in the same room all the time, but this must be done carefully; be sure the color of the solid fabric coordinates nicely with the print and you should be fine as long as you "tie them together" - perhaps use the printed fabric of the roman to make a small simple valance to cover the headrail of the roller shades. You could also use the solid fabric as a banding along the sides and bottom or the roman.

You could do matching roman shade and curtains. For the sliding doors, you could consider a more substantial curtain rod so it doesn't need a centre support. That way curtain could be moved over into corner.

Hi Rachael, there are pros and cons to having a sink by the window or not. In general its down to how you want to use the room and the overall layout. I would prefer to put in the bench seat and look at the view, versus the time spent at the kitchen sink. If you'd like to get in touch we have an interior designer who could offer some more detailed advice.

It’s 4.2 m by 4.4 m in length - as I said it has one bay window which has 4 front glass panels and one on either side

Which direction is north and do you have the option to put a window in to the side, near the utility room end, or will you be having lots of tall units there?

Dear Rob

See attached showing north direction - the utility room is separate from the Kitchen - I originally placed a window between the cocker and end of the kitchen wall - I was going to loose on unit space etc and then decided to take it out

Thanks for sharing your kitchen layout.

The north facing bay window is at probably the best position, however I'm sure you may feel like one or two more windows would add some multidirectional sunlight, and you are right. Given where you have your cooktops though, i dont see too many options. One that i could think of is a fixed sash somewhere to the lower end of the side with the cooktops. That would add some light at sunset so if you have some siting or bar at the island.

If you dont mind some more level of remodeling, I could see how moving the cooktop even along just the cabinets at the edge could open up some more chances to work with one large window to the west side.

I'm looking at somewhere around there if you feel a good need for an extra window. Hope this helps!

I dont see an a huge issue if there is no much activity around there , you already have the bay window anyways. However the multidirectional sun light I find could even make the place feel roomier. Personally Id have it

Where would you put the tall Fridge freezer and tall pantry if you put a window on the west wall ? If you kept the bay - move the sink so it’s in the bay - ie the worktop remains 600mm - otherwise you won’t be able to open the window !! ( unless you have arms like MrTickle )
