1940's NZ kitchen - small, awkward-ish layout.
Comments (121)I would suggest you take out the cabinet that is to the right of the stove and use it elsewhere in the house -- perhaps in the bathroom or dining room with a hutch above it. Then, I would suggest you have someone install a lazy susan cabinet in the corner between the sink counter and the stove, meaning you would move the stove down a bit and have a small cabinet/counter top to the right of the stove. I would suggest you have the cabinets refinished in white and then paint the walls a pastel you like. If you would prefer white walls, then add white-painted crown molding and paint the ceiling a light neutral blue, such as Sherwin Williams Niagara Falls Blue. Then, I would suggest you choose a favorite accent color and use this sparingly in accessories like towels, pot holders, small vases or floral arrangements, and a valence above the triple windows. For a genuine 1940s look, you might have white ceramic square tiles with a rectangular red border installed as a back splash behind and above the stove. If you are replacing counter tops, I would suggest a light color such as white with a beige or light grey vein or striation for some sort of pattern. You might be able to find the same color and design in floor tile OR opt for a wood floor as another poster suggested....See MoreLayout assistance for bathroom & laundry needed please

Comments (51)A very simple layout keeping the floor space within the kitchen, the WIP takes up a lot of space with not much gain, The broom cupboard could be moved to the Laundry/entrance, narrow. If the wall has been bumped out to the eaves on the deck side giving an extra 300 depth to the kitchen you could make the island 2700 x 1200 and all drawers. The wall of narrow pantry will hold all pantry needs and more, no deep cupboards to dig into. cheers...See MoreTarting Up This Monstrosity
Comments (1)Incorporating some color into the monolithic cladding and color scheme is a great idea! Highlight features that contrast the building's massiveness would be beneficial. Your suggestion of incorporating timber elements for warmth is a good starting point. To make the first-floor outdoor internal deck more versatile and comfortable, a shade sail or louvers would be a smart addition. Adding exterior lighting and soft landscaping would soften the harshness of the building's appearance and give it a more welcoming and inviting feel. Personally, I think painting the front fence in a dark color and adding some greenery and lighting would transform the look of the property. Overall, I believe this building has great potential to be a stunning and inviting space....See More- 11 days ago
