[Closed] Kitchen Ideas

How many do you need to feed regularly?

If you had a table would you have sit down meals at it or are you a TV dinner type family/couple/man/woman/dog?

Do you ever have friends round for dinner?

Nice.

It's just two of us and it's a two up two down terrace house, I was thinking of having it big enough to have 4-6 people on it, 2 or 3 either side.

So what are you doing with your dining room if you eat in the kitchen?

There is no dining room, it's a kitchen/dinner.

I have a good/interesting set up in my current rented place - there's a sort-of "C" shaped kitchen with two edges along the walls, then the bottom bit is a worksurface which comes out and can be used as a breakfast bar, and along part of it is a sort-of wall of wood which goes to the ceiling. Behind this "wall" is a table which folds out - it can either go totally up for lots of floor space, be about a metre long (how it normally is, enough for 3 people), or be folded out again and then fit more people, I've had 12 eating off it, but it was a bit of a squash.

Hmm... not sure I've explained that well, but I think it's a great system.

There is no dining room, it's a kitchen/dinner.

Keep it that way. When you come to sell, people like to see open plan room 'divided' into their seperate uses. It looks better, more useful.

We had a lounge/diner in our last place, which we divided by putting laminate floor on the dining side and a nice thick carpet the lounge side. It works well.

But then I can't abide not having a proper dining table. I'm tather traditional like that. It feels better to sit and eat dinner in the right place, no TV. 🙂

I would sit and eat dinner in the kitchen, I was just thinking of integrating the table as an extension of work surface.

Take a look at a company called Johnny grey for ideas
But + one for a dining table.

Use a piece of breakfastbar worktop set at table height, either straight off a wall or incorporated to a cupboard end to blend it to the kitchen

That my thinking hustler.
