I want to update the kids games/DVD storage under the tv and update the couch to fit 3 growing children plus friends. However the area is also a walkway from the kitchen to the outside and left into the dining room. The walkway limits the space and I am stuck for solutions. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

floating boards in kitchen area...yes or no..
Comments (11)Hi Tenia Another quality option is "floating" - meaning a click system, akin to tongue & groove - Luxury Vinyl Plank. These are 100% waterproof, can go anywhere. They are soft underfoot and a breeze to clean. Check out Godfrey Hirst and Quickstep websites for their products, which we highly recommend. We are putting a lot of this flooring into new builds in NZ, as well as existing homes who are updating their flooring. Doesn't require glue or underlay, which keeps costs down, as well as ease of install. The range of colours is amazing....See MoreWhat would you do to update this kitchen?
Comments (34)My parents sold a almost new kitchen. ( which was in a display home that they purchased ) with the oven. for $1500.00 because they didn't like the colour. There are a lot of people who do things like that. Goto greys online or keep your eyes peeled on gumtree for items like this. If you want something updated but are willing to wait. Sometimes painting products is far less sustainable then using something such as a reconstituted stone or getting it new. Plus a painted bench top? Think about it... It doesn't make sense to paint a kitchen bench top or food prep area....See MoreUpdating kitchen.
Comments (15)Hi all, I decided to bit the bullet and take up the tiles and put floorboards all the way through. It has been difficult at times with tradesmen, weather etc don't think you will hear of me being a contestant on the "the block" anytime soon!!! I feel comfortable with my decisions along with all your help. Waiting until next year to renovate the main bathroom and carpets in the bedrooms and north facing lounge....See MoreHow should I update my kitchen?
Comments (12)I always think of how I'm going to use a room first. Most women seem to complain one of the worst chores is getting the groceries from the car to the kitchen and putting them away. For this reason, to me access to the kitchen should keep this in mind so when your entry is right near the hall doorway, that is the door I would keep. A small kitchen can be very difficult when entertaining and people want to help. I solved this in my old home by putting a hatch between the kitchen and dining room allowing extra cupboard space to fill the doorway and giving extra bench space too. Wall cupboards can also be put above the hatch. This means when dinner is being served or cleared, you have helpers clearing to the bench and others in the kitchen moving to or from the hatch. You don't have a large enough kitchen for many helpers, but I found this system worked a treat, with 2 people working each side things moved quickly and efficiently with helpers not falling over each other....See More
