We are re-doing our kitchen this summer and as it's a cottage with very low ceilings and can feel gloomy inside, I am trying to keep the space open and as light as possible so I am opting to avoid eye level units but that's making me fret over storage of certain items!
If anyone has avoided them for the same reasons (i.e. to maximise light) can you please reassure me that it's OK to store things under the work surface that would 'traditionally' live above?!
I have attached a pic of the kitchen plan (we're not having these exact cupboards, floors etc but it gives an idea of the layout) to make some sense of it - there will also be a dresser to the right of the very light open doorway (no idea why this is so light on the pic - it isn't an entrance to Heaven, but is n fact a doorway into the playroom).
So my question is, where will I keep mugs /glasses!
In my mind the dresser would be for wine glasses etc but would it be odd to keep 'normal' glasses here as well (e.g. for a glass of water), as well as mugs, when the sink is over the other side of the room?
I think I am at the stage of the planning process when I am doubting every decision so if anyone can reassure me that glasses and mugs don't have to live in eye level units next to the sink, please do so! Or any other practical ideas to make my plan work!
Bloody hell this is long and boring, sorry.
