Design Dilemma Kitchens

Internal window advice

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

We have recently had an extension built on the back of the house and removed the existing kitchen window leaving a hole in the wall. I like this as the extension is a playroom and it means I can see in from the kitchen. However we are struggling for ideas of what to replace the sill with. Any ideas will be much appreciated!

Could you have a piece of wood made to fit and overhanging from the extension side so if acts as a little coffee/breakfast bar?

Thank you for your suggestion....one option that I had considered was something like the below - having double curtains (one voile,and one heavy curtain). Do you think that this could work in my space? Also, just to note, the curtain pole (and everything else in the room will be going, as this is the previous owners furniture), so I am not restricted to the curtain pole that is currently in the original picture. Thanks!

Advice on picture windows!

Hi, We're buying a new house and the windows aren't in great shape so we're looking to change them all. It's a 2 story, white rendered, 1980's box shaped house. On the ground floor, there's a front door in the middle of the house. On either side, there's a living room window but the windows aren't exactly the same size (same height, different width). On the 1st floor/top floor, there are 3 equal sized bedroom windows. We'd like to go with a contemporary look for the house and after talking to our window suppliers, we could go with centre top swing windows in Aluclad for the 3 bedroom windows and fixed pane picture windows for the 2 living rooms. So clear glass with no lines or bars across all 5 front facing windows. (NB: Fire regs and ventilation can be covered through smaller windows on the side of the house for both living rooms). I really like the idea of a clear view onto my garden with no lines or bars across the glass and privacy is not a concern as we're well set back from the road. In the computer generated images, the picture windows look really nice but I'm a bit concerned as I have literally never seen this style of window applied to any similar style house!! Even the window supplier had to check it to ensure it could be manufactured that way. I'd really appreciate any advice, suggestions or images of houses with picture windows that they could share? Thanks a million!!

I'm looking for advice/suggestions for dressing multiple windows. We have 2 sets of 3 large windows on either side of the living room and unsure whether curtains or blinds would work best and how to best manage the set of 3. The house is a new build and fairly contemporary style. Any suggestions would be great!!

I think I would paint them in a taupe-grey. Other ideas. Paint the doorframe and door window trim the same color as the door to make it look larger. Paint the house numbers black. Put bright lighting by the door.

Thanks for your idea. We’ve got a sofa the other side of the wall in the playroom so that wouldn’t work. Want something like a window sill but more modern??

What does the kitchen look like as it needs to tie in with that. It seems quite deep too. So maybe a piece of stone work top or natural slate, depends on the kitchen really.
