I'm in the middle of replanning my kitchen as part of works being done under insurance, which we're 'upgrading' to get new units.
I'm having a couple of firms come to do designs for us next week, but they've both said they'd take about 30 mins to chat, measure and draw up a design, so it seems likely they won't be working hard to find amazing storage solutions for us and I want to know in my own mind what I want before they come.
My current best plan ended up with 2-3 larder cupboards, 2 wall units and 1 drawer unit. We're loosing 2m of floor and wall units to make room for a table, so I'm trying to make sure we have enough storage, which is very hard! Its a 3 bedroom house and we're looking to sell in a couple of years so it needs to be workable for us now, and not put off buyers in the future. Does that sound like enough?
To make more worktop space I thought of having a wall cupboard to hold the microwave - does this look really tacky?
Also, I could re-use the current worktops to save money, but they're beech laminate, and advice elsewhere has been to have expensive worktops to upgrade the kitchen?! I've looked at Barncrest, but it'd add about £450 to the total cost. :(
Any ideas appreciated. :)
