Blind corner advice

il y a 3 ans

Hello! I’m currently in the middle of a kitchen renovation and have a blind corner in the island of my peninsula kitchen. Originally I had wanted to flip a cabinet so that it is accessible from the seating area however my husband really wants to try to fit a wine fridge in that space. Technically it will fit, but it means a counter stool will be in front of it and will have to be moved out of the way for usability. Is this type of thing acceptable? I don’t want it to look like an afterthought (even though clearly it is). Here’s an image of the layout and cabinets that we’re delivered today

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment
Q
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.

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave
Q

bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!

Wall art idea needed
Q
Commentaires (7)
Hello Velvet Ninja You seem concerned with that one wall. I'm not trying to criticize, the space seems new, with quality materials and well-lit, but have you also noticed the other big white walls? and ceiling? Why just the wall with the mirror? You've got a majority of white, a good dose of black, some chrome / stainless steel details and an uninterrupted shiny pale wood floor. It's relatively astonishing that you have a white door and only one white window, but the other window is black? Everything is relativement anonymous, nice, but nothing too ground-breaking. Is this a rental or your own home? Are you sure that just some art on that one wall will make it cozy and beautiful? Have you thought about any window treatments? Store venetien? Rideaux? Store bateaux? Any type of rug under the dining table? A rug called Bolon, made of woven vinyl fibers, easily cleaned ant anti-allergy. Is the mirror not on the axis of the table on purpose? And why a dark wood? It adds to the "window types", a black one, a white one and the wooden mirror one... Some more information would be helpful. good luck, Lynn

I would not do a wine fridge under an overhang.

I have a cabinet that’s only accessible from the backside of the peninsula. It’s for lesser used items. I don’t think I would love the idea of feet being able to kick the wine cooler.

Thank you for the feedback. I also hate the thought of kicking the cooler while sitting in that counter chair. If I got with the backside cabinet, my contractor suggested that it include a charging drawer for devices. However would that be awkward because of the overhang?

Remind him that the overhang would block the open charging drawer.

If you used a wine/beverage fridge that will be paneled to match the cabinets it might not look as strange. It would be storage for wine and extra drinks, but not something you would be accessing daily. How often would you be accessing that wine fridge?

If this is the only thing your husband has wanted in the remodel I would let him have it, but ask for a paneled fridge. It will be more expensive, but will blend in.

Oh by the way, these undercounter fridges can be a bit noisy, so you might get extra appliance hum radiating into your living area. Is anyone sensitive to noise?

I also would not be a fan of feet touching the fridge door.

what about cabinet doors that are more subtle or even designed to be somewhat hidden?

if you did this across the whole island, then you could access some of the other cabs from behind.

Would it be worth considering curving the blank space and extend the top for seating, similar to this:

TPJ Designs, thank you for the suggestion. Actually we were also presented with this similar option as well. I didn’t love the idea of an angled island like this however. Are curved islands like this being done? Haven’t seen too many contemporary examples of this.

Chispa, we would use it often as we do drink wine almost daily. I never had an issue with just storing it in cabinets though 🤷‍♀️. Good idea about a panel, I’ll look into that.
