Old irish kitchen help

7 months ago

Hi all. We're in the early planning phase of renovating our kitchen, we have ideas for most of the kitchen redesign, but we're at a loss for this space. This is an old wood burner which was converted into an oil burner some years back so removing/replacing it would be a cost we can't afford right now, but I HATE it and I'm at a loss for ideas to make it work with our kitchen. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Ps....ignore the grimey bin and chair, their going to the tip 😅

It’s hard to tell from the photos but I would think you should run kitchen units up to the range (that’s what we would call it in Ireland) so it’s part of the kitchen work area.

We did consider that, but the expense would be alot higher to move the cabinets and stove to that side of the kitchen, it's also darker at that side of the kitchen in comparison to where the range is

I agree, I think the kitchen units are quite charming. The tiles date it, the top of the dresser and the piece over the window. Agree, would paint the ceiling a soft chalky white. I know they're becoming a little overdone but metro tiles would suit but handmade ones in a soft white unless you just remove the tiles altogether and have a splashback by the oven. Can you afford to update the floor? The dresser offers good storage space, have you considered either just removing the top half or updating the top so changing the architrave and glass panes? The fire itself looks lovely, do you need the heater in front? I also like the brick but the recesses are dating it. I definitely wouldn't paint the brick, if you were to do anything I think it would need plastering over to cover the niches unless you are able to match the brick. Do you have a better pic of the firep? If you are set on painting the kitchen units, I would look at the really dark greys and inky Blues for the base units, as I think they'd suit the style well, with brass cup handles with a very pale grey for ŵall units. Or if you want the same colour units, look at a mid tone grey.

I love the cabin in the woods, its a intimate setting where you are drawn to the outside whilst keeping snug indoors. The use of fabrics sets it apart from the usual cold designs of other modern rooms. The attention detail in the selection of furniture pieces keeps it modern yet functional.

My kitchen (a second small one) in a Georgian house has old terracota tiles 6 inch square, which I have recently had polished and want to keep. The area is approx 12 ft square with 10 ft high ceilings. There is a large Georgian window on two of the walls, with an entrance door on the the third wall and a fireplace on the fourth wall, into which I have managed to put a cooker, with two built in cupboards either side of it. I need a sink, integrated washing machine, integrated dishwasher. The walll with the door is plumbed for water, but it could also go on the adjoining wall under the window ?? Please any ideas would help, also colour scheme. I am normally good at this but the dimension, ceiling height, tiles have thrown me a bit on this one ! Appreciate your suggestions. Thank you so much

Is it still going to be functioning for heating?

Yes, which is the main reason we're keeping it.

What’s on the other side of the room? Is it a dining table or sitting area? Build units either side so you can use it to prep food.
