Pendant light placement
Comments (4)No not at all, 2.8 divided by spaces between lights (eg 4 spaces lights are hung every 700). Mark out 700 from end of bench and place a piece of tape then measure 700 again and place another piece of tape and so on. Then place the lights over the tape so that the tape is in the middle of each light this will give you an idea if it will look cramped. Good luck!...See MoreKitchen Layout-Bigger Island or Bigger space?
Comments (0)how many people would line up to sit at the island at the same time and do you have a proper dining table and seating?... avoiding the U shape allows easier access to an often dead corner, there's much easier placement for a dishwasher. the open island gives better connection to the other rooms and is easier for several people to work together and the loss of storage can be balanced by better storage design and less "stuff" but the answer should be determined by who uses the space the most and how they like to work but i would move the fridge freezer to the space next to the wall oven and move the cooktop closer to the corner and think about where you might use counter top appliances like toaster and kettle (where you have the fridge?) and allow space counter in the corner for food processor, mixer etc? and the space between the island and cooktop could be 1500 and allow for a extra depth in the island for for extra storage cabinets under the counter on the stool side...See MoreKitchen island and pendants
Comments (7).... Very similar in style and size to what we used. Our island is 2000mm X 900mm and we used 2 pendants Lined up with the shaker profile on the island bench. For us they are more for ambient lighting rather than task as we have led downlights and under cabinet lighting too. Do be prepared to clean them as Dr Retro indicated! (Make sure you can get your hand inside easily for cleaning) There are definitely far more practical options for kitchens....See MoreSink and drainer in kitchen island bench
Comments (21)Hi Vicki, I would like to put if my two pennies worth too, please: And go back a step..... The scullery: you have a sink and dishwasher in there? If so why not have the 1 1/2 sink and drainer in there. On the island have just a little sink for rinsing veg, filling kettle, topping up saucepan, rocks for the scotch water supply but with no drainer in the island? Then the major dirties will go straight to the scullery and island sink is for smaller usage. And I would put it not right at the end maybe but towards the dining end to allow the longest usable bench for prep. The design of the scullery does not seem quite right to me. There is a dead corner: yes I know that is one of my pet hates. But also is this going to be a pantry for store of foods and or do you envisage using it with appliances on the benches? If it is either of these do you want to dirties mixed with the food prep and store? Solution: have two benches facing each other. the one backing bedroom(?) use for sink, DW and second 'frige. Separate. The other for appliances on bench and food store above and below. I would incorporate the pantry cupboard into pantry room bringing the door along to the front of the main fridge. Then put the oven tower next in the kitchen: it is in a safer place and close by to mix master (on bench in pantry) for slipping a cake into! The high things are then altogether and the bench will slip down to the day bed being a more relaxed aesthetic. I know I hear it you want the cook top centred to look lovely! Possible you still can do that but as long as there is at least 1200 benching beside it for a USEFUl piece of bench. Yes as someone earlier said you can use an under mount sink and have grooves in stone for drainer but I wonder about the cleanliness of the hidden seal. The stone will chip on the edges of the sink, the outer edges of the island and all benching if the boyz are not careful: a school ruler or wooded spoon handy for clumsiness might be a good disincentive for rushing!! I hope this helps and doesn't thro a turkey among the souffle! Cheers, Margot...See Moreandrewjason1
