... And giving more privacy to bathroom is also still a goal!!
The 85cm aisle is the real pinch point here. I'd shift the fridge to the end of the run so its door swings away from the aisle, and let the pantry open from the dining side instead of into the kitchen. On the noise side — bedrooms hearing the kitchen is usually a doors problem, not a distance problem. Solid-core doors, plus one closable full-height door between the bedroom hall and the kitchen, will do more than half-walls or internal windows, which leak sound. Whichever option you choose, draw it to scale with the fridge, pantry and island doors open, and check you still have a clear 90cm+ path with them open.
Alex thank you for jumping in and for your ideas 😊
You mean our current 85cm aisle, don't you?
For the fridge in our new kitchen, we were thinking of getting a French door fridge so doors take up less space when open.
Our half walls and windows are probably less sound blocking than walls. Tho we find the double glazed doors we have now on the tv room work well to contain tv noise at least. So I'm feeling like windows could achieve a similar effect!
If you know the process, then get onto resolving the issues through the channels offered by the contract you would have signed, and the Home Indemnity Insurance, and dispute pathways. If no contract, then terminate the current kitchen business, and contract a new business to finalise works. Cut your losses and move on. 12 months is too long and should of been dealt with when red flags started showing. Hope you get your dream kitchen soon.
It’s hard to tell the size of the gap without something eg measuring tape, 20cent piece, showing the scale. It looks normal to me. But you can search for tolerance and installation standards on the internet, and also check with the manufacturer. But as always talk to the installer first. Does the installation match the contact, any samples and/or your pre-work discussion?
thanks, I have asked the builder for details on installer. Certainly does not look like the sample provided by the manufacturer. I have also contacted the manufacturer. It is smaller than an Aus 20 cent piece, mostly. In some parts, not.
Great colours. Yes it does look busy. Remove the plant. Remove the kitchen rules poster. Push the kettle into corner. Anything that is close to cook top will get oil splashes from cooking, so make sure you wipe down appliances regularly.
Agree. Start again. Leave only essential items and put toaster and kettle together. At present it seems to be splitting the view. I’d create the display on right and keep the left functional for air fryer and setting down items for cooking
Benchtop as useable space is prime real estate in a kitchen! A lot of it here is being used as display space.
Have a look at katrinas_Instagram on Instagram. Some good inspiration
The shed is colorbond Jasper. I had ordered Birdies beds in Woodlands Grey colorbond color. Would Monument have been better? Or Woodlands work OK, considering the heavy planting and is not directly against shed, nor openly on display
Not Colorbond Monument. Be aware of the soil getting hot if using a dark colour raised garden bed.
