• Project kitchen is happening, I've done most of what I want to do in the rest of the house so time to tackle that room. I'll be doing the planning and supplying of material but getting a builder to manage trades and do the work.

    Any thoughts on the below plans? The open shelving on the island will be replaced with doors apart from one unit. My wife liked the idea of open but it'll be too much upkeep and our son will be grabbing it all and throwing it on the floor.

    All services are staying in the same place to reduce cost. Tall unit by the window is the boiler. Washer dryer unfortunately will have to stay in the kitchen I think as now we've redone the bathroom I'd struggle to bring a feed and waste pipe from under the floor to the understairs cupboard.

    Designs are by Wren but kitchen units will be DIYKitchens (Norton in bespoke Bancha FB colour)

  • I think eating by the big doors with a garden view would be nicer?

    Also line that sink up with the window.

  • Gap from oven/hob side back to island looks pretty small. Also left hand side of hob worktop looks too narrow to be useful.

  • Trying to find a way to say this without coming across as rude: It feels to me like the new design isn't a design, more an exercise in what units they can get to fit in the space.

    It's going to feel cramped and claustrophobic squashed between the island and the hob/full height units. Especially once you have a door open and are bending down to reach whatever is inside. Not even sure drawers on the island would work without trapping your legs!
    The hob feels squashed in because of the 2 full height units. Your idea of a range would definitely help with this.
    The larder units on the left hand side of the RSJ in the 'dining room' feel out of place and don't really flow naturally at the moment. From the plan it looks like they're set back and there's a false wall along that side (wall B)?

    Would you consider losing the island and having a peninsular in place of the the wall you want to remove?

    Is the sliding door going to be in 4 sections or is that just a representative illustration? If it's 4 section each pane will only be 450/500 mm wide?
