Kitchen
good for every day groceries (tea, jams & baking stuff) and appliances like toaster. NB must incl plug points, same colour as wall if possible.
* open space for kettle & toaster, can have 1 open shelf above for tea, etc but closed cpds above it
* instead of c/pd - open space for kettle, toaster, cups, teabags
Like sliding door storage for appliances/pantry & veg like onions, garlic, etc
* micro right height, maximum of 120cm above floor height
* double-stacked oven ipo 90cm stove/oven * or 2 ovens side by side
If stove is before window, rather have 2 windows divided by splashback
* impt to have bench space either side of stove * prefer commercial type extractor if possible * prefer no o/head cpds immediately around stove so can't bump head
* glass or stone splash back means no grouting to clean!
* Stand-alone extractor
* Extractor - strong enough?
* idea for kitchen island : drawer at one end (for table mats, serviettes & coasters) while underneath can be space for bins &/or recycling
Drawers on the side. Don't forget plug points on island * good to have 2 sets of drawers so not to get in each others way
Prefer these drawers to flat ones, also handles are unobtrusive
* choose handles that won't snag
* like these kitchen lights ... much prefer to pendant lights - easier to clean too
* kitchen light?
* explore brushed nickel instead of chrome for hardware - taps, etc
padded stools covered in patterned fabric
* drawers instead of c/pds
* what about top layer of drawers & c/pds underneath?
* good idea for cnr cupboard storage
Elevated dishwasher?
* Good option if enough drawer space * Also good for DMC
*make sure drawer under stove is deep enough to fit whisk
* double-width & shallow drawers mean everything is easily visible & accessible * best for cooking utensils only - keep everyday cutlery separate or person setting table gets in way of cook
* good idea to have deep drawer for bottles used for cooking - better to not have dividers
* tray storage
* Tray storage above oven good use of little-used space
Use kickplates for storage
* 6 burner Bosch hob for stir-frying *even 5 hobs will do
* investigate further: pitt burn hotplate
* dishcloths + hand towels * maybe have long door handles on couple of cpd doors to hold dishcloths & handtowel
* save cleaning materials, etc under sink and put bins/recycling, etc in another location
* storage beside bins
* Drawer above bins * bins can be easily moved if not held by sliders at the top * where to put folded plastic bags?
*drawer above bins
* whole cpd used * these bins from Ikea
* kitchen composting system & don't forget filtered water system
same cabinetry for kitchen & study area but different counter tops (wood for study)
