Any Ideas On Design Of New Kitchen?
16 Answers
I am getting a Wickes Bespoke kitchen installed in three weeks. It comes with all the white goods and I am dreading the installation process. Handing over the cash at the end of the installation will be pretty painful too. There is 9 months interest-free credit but I don't trust myself with money.
My main issue is that the kitchen is a weird shape - the stairwell protrudes into the kitchen and takes up a lot of space.
Has anyone any idea of any way that I can use this space? Failing everything I will get a mural or a fake window or something.
This is the kitchen https:/ /postim g.cc/K1 x0fdWk
and this is the layout of the flat https:/ /postim g.cc/py McyhBJ
Deep down I think that I realise that the space is basically dead space but maybe one of you can come up with an idea.
I think that m drinking two litres of high-caffeine Pepsi Max is making me a tad high this evening. ☺☺

You could put a mural behind it, the scope is unlimited as to what sort of scene it could be - anything from a wide ocean, rolling countryside, or another room with people's or animal's faces peering through the glass. The only issue being you would have to be careful to keep it from looking naff (which is why something humorous would be more appropriate. And of course it would have to suit your tastes which may be totally different from mine.
You can never have too much shelving/storage space in a kitchen. I’d consider adding a number of shelves, rather like a bookcase – to the curved wall.
Any carpenter worth their salt should be able to make something to match the curvature of the wall, although it will be more expensive than an off the shelf unit.

Tuvok - alas it is part of the building's stairwell.
Hymie - Ideally I would like more storage and might consider trying a decent joiner. Thanks.
Canary & moorea - I hadn't thought of Etsy. I will have a look.
I know that my enthusiasm for getting the place fixed is not going to last too long. I will resort back to my usual apathetic or depressed state.
I have already had the bath taken out and a lovely big shower cabinet installed and the whole place has been decorated.

The stairwell is really twisty and I had visions of them not being able to deliver my kitchen stuff. With a bespoke kitchen, it is a package and it is their responsibility to get the stuff delivered and installed. If they can't get it up the stairs they have to find a solution.

Ringlet, I have to say hat I considered putting it all off until the new year. Not sure what Year!
I have decided to leave them to it and go to my voluntary job in Oxfam.
I'm sorry to hear you cancelled your new kitchen. I seem to spend my life avoiding situations and getting stressed out. Or getting anxious about something that might go wrong.
