Modern/old kitchen

il y a 9 ans

Hi
My wife and I have just bought a 1920s cottage. The dilemma I'm having is the kitchen. It's a totally blank canvas as you can see. Was after some ideas of doing it up. I like modern kitchens but I also want to keep the character of the house. Does anyone have any suggestions on style? Any help would be great thank you

Simple shaker cabinets can look either vintage or modern depending on the style of hardware you use. Plus that was the style of cabinetry used in many kitchens in the 1920's, so even if you make all other elements modern (hardware, appliances, fixtures, etc) the kitchen can be in harmony with the rest of your house.

I feel that it is totally ok to redo an older house with a modern kitchen.....
Take everything out and start fresh with a new floor plan.

Especially if the kitchen is more separated from the rest of the house.

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

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 : Quelle couleur choisir pour ma cuisine ?
Q
Commentaires (39)
Bonjour, vos meubles de cuisine me semble en bon état et la couleur est assez neutre pour traverser les années. Le gris ne se démode pas ... SI vous voulez quelque chose de plus chaleureux, vous pouvez les peindre dans un ton de greige (entre le gris et le beige, ce qui vous permet de coordonner avec des tons chaud ou froid). Je changerai plutôt le plan de travail ainsi que la crédence. Vous pouvez prendre un plan de travail d'une seule pièce (plus facile d'entretien qu'avec les petits carreaux) avec un effet marbre en finition mat (cela donne à la fois un rendu classique et moderne) et faire la crédence dans la même matière. Si vous voulez apporter une touche décorative et créer un rappel avec le sol, vous pouvez opter pour un plan de travail plan et une crédence décorative, avec des carreaux colorés ou à motifs. Enfin, vous pouvez changer vos boutons de portes par des poignées coquilles ou droite, plus facile pour la prise de main. Concernant les murs de la cuisine, vous pouvez les peindre dans une teinte un peu plus foncé que la cuisine, ou plus clair selon l'aménagement de votre salon. Un vert sauge peut également faire ressortir l'ensemble et bien s'harmoniser avec les tomettes. Bonne suite dans votre projet !

Jane Powell's Bungalow Kitchens is a great guide for inspiration and details. Take cues from the original time period and incorporate modern finishes and details (lighting/plumbing fixtures/cabinet details) to get your kitchen to blend with the house. A well constructed ideabook with notes will help you get there. I would love to see the whole space. It appears that that there is more natural light to work with on wall opposite the window. A sky light might help open it up as well. Are all the walls staying as is? Will you post more pictures please?

Congratulations on your new house. Do you have more photos? Will your budget cover a complete redo all at once or will you be doing the work in stages?

Search for "unfitted kitchen" both here and the internet in general. You may find some ideas that fit your cottage perfectly. I am personally tired of kitchens with rows and rows of cabinets.

I do hope you can keep the floor, it looks lovely. I agree with the unfitted kitchen. Old fashions looking crocks and kitchen wear is now in the shops. So it would be easy to dress the room with old and new. I just love the little curtains they used to have below a sink. My Aunt's kitchen in Cornwall had this and a huge built in (Very tall) cupboard. The old mangle washing machine was in the corner. I'm NOT that old - My mum had a front loader so imagine my joy at being allowed to stay with my auntie on wash day.

This is a modern old kitchen that we finished. Cabinets and shelves were custom built to create the look of an old kitchen.

If you haven't tackled it yet I also have to support the idea of an unfitted kitchen. Check out Unfitted.co.uk for some great ideas. One cost-saving advantage is that you may not even have to do much more than paint the walls - if they are not in really bad shape. The (myth of)perfectly flat walls found in new construction might not even be desirable with the unfitted decor.

We intend to change out kitchen to an unfitted kitchen in the future (probably way into the future, the paying work keeps getting in the way). We are collecting furniture that can be used in the kitchen for storage vs. cabinets. We search salvage places, antique dealers, garage sales, craig's list, etc. Don't rule out old dressers for storage and counter top space, hosiers, secretaries for china cabinets, etc.

Can you provide a few more photos of the adjoining spaces so we can see whether it's possible to open up the kitchen to dining/living area especially if this is a vacation or weekend place. Do you envision congregating in an open living/dining/cooking area or are you restricted on space? What's your budget? (I've been impressed in a vacation rental by the Ikea shaker cabinets. Don't know how long ago they were purchased, but the quality and look were impressive for the price.)

If your kitchen is going to be a small U-shape, Google U-shaped kitchen. Some upper open shelves can work well in tight spaces, and there are all sorts of appliance sizes that can fit into small spaces. Let us know how you plan to use the cottage--full-time or part-time, rental/personal use?

Yes modernize the kitchen people live old houses but nothing ls kitchens. We had one like this and did white cabinets and black granite counter and small black and white ceramic tile floor. It looked fabulous and we flipped it on the first day on market.
