Hi
We have almost finalised our new kitchen design, it’s taken years for us to save up so we want it to be right. Husband fine with it, it’s me who is perhaps over analysing!
It’s going to be an l-shaped kitchen with a peninsular thingy and it will be open plan to dining room.
First image has tall units in the corner, so as to not block out any light. The tall units are an integrated fridge freezer and a larder.
I was worried the integrated f/f wouldn’t give us enough freezer space (we are a family of 4, one teenager and one a few years younger) so the second image shows an American f/f (we won’t have room for this as there’s not enough wall space to have that plus the larder - 1.25m - so it will be freestanding).
Will it look odd having a non-American style f/f instead? I’ve never seen this style boxed in before so not sure how it would look.
I have analysed this for so long I just cannot decide what would be best!
Would you:
- keep 1st design but buy separate under counter small freezer (not that keen on this as it’s just taking up more space and using up electricity)
- keep 2nd design as is
- keep 2nd design but have American f/f and move larder to left hand side of kitchen (next to units to left of cooker) - think this will block light out from window at sink though? Before units next to cooker there is about 1m space then double glazed doors so there is room but it means as you enter the room you’ve got a tall unit (we were going to have shelves above the base units to keep it open
- do something else
We have an American f/f just now but it needs replacing. We love the space inside it, maybe it’s a bit too roomy but kids still growing...
If you’re still reading, thank you!!
Any ideas/tips welcome 😊
