Kitchen Renovation for old house
I am at a bit of a loss with where to put to best utilise the space and not just put everything back where it was. Is this too much to want? Any helpful ideas or tips much appreciated:)

il y a 5 ansI will redo a sketch. Fireplace hasn’t been opened up yet, old kitchen cabinets are still in situ. Pantry is a big structure which needs to stay at this point (trying to minimise cost), a door will be added though. Window with view is being changed to a larger window, ideally (getting a builder to look Monday). Sill height will be counter top height or slightly above. Hope additional photos help in the meantime.

Commentaires (2)I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots....

Commentaires (85)Pas très coloré tout ça... ;) Vu la couleur actuelle (un blanc légèrement plus foncé que vos plinthes), elle est déjà "blanc cassé". Certes, la matière ne se fait pas ressentir en photo, mais je doute que remettre un autre blanc cassé vous changera grande chose. Perso, je préfère des teintes neutres avec des accessoires changeables permettant de redonner un coup de "changement" aux moindre frais / temps, mais une peinture murale reste facile à changer, si vous vous lassez à terme. Il faut aussi faire TRES attention avec une image sur écran. On a même du mal a choisir un blanc sur un vrai nuancier papier - la perception de la couleur change intégralement selon le type de support et le type d'éclairage....

Commentaires (36)Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!... Voir plus

il y a 5 ansDernière modification :il y a 5 ansHi there is this anything like your kitchen, with the freestanding range or cook top, fridge and oven side by side, It could be really nice if the window next to the pantry was a door? cheers

il y a 5 ansIt might be a good idea to replace the big window with a glass door and use that window to replace the smaller window, this would allow a lot more light into the kitchen. You could add a mobile island made up from whatever you wanted cheers

il y a 5 ansHi Siriuskey. I’m not sure you got the existing @door in the right spot. From the cad sketch they posted, the pantry is top right, and the door is on the long wall just below pantry. Window to left and top, with fireplace bottom left, I think.
flip your drawing left to right and move door up to pantry where you have fridge.

il y a 5 ansOops, I had the fireplace and pantry in the correct position but over looked the door, it was difficult to be exact without more info, hope you feel happy with this. cheers

il y a 5 ansHope this is clearer, sorry not the best drawing. Pantry straddles both rooms, roughly half and half...

il y a 5 ansThanks divinefeeling. It would be great to remove wall to casual dining and move pantry to other end of room. This all depends on your budget. Here’s another laoyout, moving internal door, in fact I would just have a wide opening or sliding door. This would work well if you later remove pantry and some internal walls to integrate the two rooms.
You need to think what you value, in terms of outlook and access.you also need to work out what you can do with the fire place. Brick chimneys can be removed. If you removed it all you could have another entry to your kitchen from that wall. So many options.

il y a 5 ansAnother thought trying to keep the chimney for cook top or as a feature as you mentioned, removing a chimney is a lot of work and I think it would be a loss to the house. You hve a choice of a free standing cooker in the fire place or a cooktop next to the sink and a wall oven next to the fire place. Changing a window for an external door with access to the covered balcony, and keeping the doorway between kitchen and casual dining in situ to save money, it could be a sliding Barn door.
Siri My revised plan and Kate's as drawn by her cheers

il y a 5 ansWould it be a big problem to have the door opening back in against the pantry, how often would it be open. Hopefully you will get to have the cook top or free standing range in the old fireplace. The entry room sounds like it was an old breezeway, a Barn Style door opening into the kitchen from that would look amazing.
You may be able to have some exposed brick work, could need a bit of patching up.
Perhaps some inspiration from this lovely place

il y a 5 ansYou mentioned an old fireplace in your kitchen. Have a look at what we did for some clients in Brisbane. They had an old fireplace and we inserted a bespoke cocktail cabinet and drawers into the space. The chimney brickwork was cleaned up and looks great with the timber. Good luck with your project :)
