I have a question that's not relayed to the lustrolite...
In that kitchen you have 4 tall boy units with the last one butted up to the corner. I've never done this before but am currently designing a kitchen where this situation is going to be necessary. Is this some thing that you do often? I always assumed it would be a big no-no but it actually looks really nice on that kitchen.
Those doors are ace as well BTW
Hi Joe,
What the photos dont show are a huge set of folding, sliding patio doors to the LHS of the far LH tall unit. They open out onto a large elevated deck area. I could'nt move the bank of tall units any further to the left because of this. As 2 of the tall units have appliances in them, and the other 2 are 400 wide full height pull-outs, that only left me with 700mm to the corner.
I had a special corner wall unit made that allows access to the corner and the half glazed wall unit butts up against it. The client really wanted the 2 half glazed wall units either side of the window, so this dictated what I could do in the LH corner. As my German wall units come in at 350mm deep + Door as standard, this left me with a corner wall unit door of 330mm wide. Not the most accessible unit, I must admit, but it was a compromise the client was willing to make to get the Glazed units in.
I would normally try to avoid designing a layout that had this type of corner configuration as I think it tends to look a bit "cramped" in the corner but as I said, the client was happy to do it. It does look better now the wall panelling is up than it did before, as even though there were under lights fitted when I installed the kitchen, it was still a bit of a dead corner. The Red panelling has given the kitchen more depth, if that makes any sense......?????
Snezza.
