but they also tend to bring the walls in, which you want to avoid in an already small space.
#HOUZZ FORUMS NOT SHOWING UP ON MY COMPIUTER FULL#
Don't sacrifice functionality and natural light for design - love full height floor to ceiling cabinets, very much on trend. Avoid unnecessry structural work: - removing the kitchen/living wall is a must (more space, light, etc) but removing the laundry wall is an unncessary added cost (may even require costly additional strutural support) - putting up a plastered wall on the other hand is inexpensive, allows you to redefine different zones and relocate doors/openings where required (*note: avoid hinged doors in small spaces as you have to allow for wasted space to open door - suggest cavity sliding doors, easy to incorporate in a new wall) C. after whatever you can save here and there, you can spend on nicer cabinetery, gadgets, finishes, etc :) B. Work with what you've got: - additional plumbing work, gas work etc may not be necessary and (particularly gas) can be costly when you're trying to work around existing walls, floors, etc, and as much as possible utilise the existing connections. Going through a new build ourselves at the moment, and for what it's worth, here's what I personally think: A. may I make some comments/suggestions that you may or not take on board, but hopefully it may at least give you some ideas/options. Hi Mike and Emma Hope you are slowly but surely getting there. We can't remove the windows as we want as much light as possible, and we have raked ceilings so the posts between current windows are load bearing which I've been told would be expensive to change.

Will this look odd?Ĭons: island would be smaller so sink would go next to window but there is not enough space to have bin & dishwasher right next to sink - plus it means we will block the bottom of three of the floor to ceiling windows which would reduce light. Pros: will open up space and sink will remain in island, so can fit dishwasher & bin near sinkĬons: bench against wall would be 600mm, but the windows are 960mm - so if we take bench to the corner to maximize bench space we will block the bottom of the corner windows - which means 360mm of glass would be showing on the lower corner window. It's currently u-shape with a breakfast bar near floor to ceiling windows - but no one sits near the windows as it's not a central place. I'm struggling with designing our new kitchen.
