Fridge behind cabinetry
Comments (2)if you are planning to build in a standard fridge or freezer you need to make sure you have got really good ventilation all around, and especially behind the fridge when the cabinet doors are shut. . . . Other wise your power bills will rocket. Fridges and freezers need the air flow to carry the heat away from the coils at the back to maintain efficiency. Liitle or no air movement and the fridge motor will run for much longer periods,...See Morecooktop and fridge poition
Comments (5)love your kitchen, fridge in the best space for easy access, not a fan of the return bench much more fitting for your modern kitchen would be an island bench which gives better flow to that area as well, love it, only other suggestion would be to have a sink in the island for washing vegies from the fridge this also makes for a good triangle working space...See More5 Ways You Can Create Your Outdoor Room
Comments (0)Need to know what boxes to tick to create an outdoor room that is comfortable, practical and reflects your individual style and personality? Read our tips for 5 ways to create an outdoor room that makes the most of your entertaining area, no matter the weather or time of day. 1. Fit for all seasons What is the point of an outdoor room if you can’t use it all year, or when the weather changes? This is when the right roofing or shelter comes in. Not only does it need to be weatherproof, but tough enough to last many years. This is where stainless steel roof sheet comes in, which not only looks great but is extremely strong. You can also opt for a more flexible roofing solution like our ‘Eclipse’ louvre roof, which allows you to adjust the panels, for more or less light – all at the touch of a button. There is also an insulated patio roofing option, which gives you year-round climate control and access to the alfresco life 365 days a year. 2. Cook up a storm Chances are you want to cook up a storm in your outdoor room, so make sure you plan what facilities you need. If you entertain a lot then you should consider going all out with an outdoor kitchen. Here an integrated oven or BBQ, cabinets, benchtops, fridge, sink, pizza oven and even a wine fridge (or 2) could all be on your wishlist. Products and materials need to be able to withstand exposure to the elements, so choose wisely. Stainless steel makes sense for cookware, with engineered stone or natural stone for benchtops, while cabinetry should be moisture resistant. You also need to plan the flow between your home’s kitchen and your outdoor room. Ideally access should allow foot traffic to move freely between both rooms. 3. Accessorise it We like to call all the accessories that make your outdoor room functional lifestyle extras, because often it’s the small things that make a difference. That means using it all year round and not waiting for the weather to be perfect. Here quality accessories like well-positioned downlights, heatstrips, fans and exterior blinds allow you to use the space no matter where the mercury is at. 4. Get it decked Having solid level surface underfoot is key to enjoying your outdoor room, and decking is a great option. We love hardwood timber, because it is tough, looks and feels great and has what it takes to absorb all the foot traffic you can throw at it. Popular timbers include Jarrah, Merbau, Spotted Gum and Blackbutt, as well as composite – which is a mix of plastic and timber fibres. Like the other elements of your outdoor room, you are likely to need planning permission for this, so check with your local council beforehand. 5. Screen your privacy Nosy neighbours a little close for comfort? Then you need a screen to give you some privacy while you enjoy your outdoor room. You have a number of options including timber slat, metal trellis, PVC or even bamboo. And privacy is not the only benefit you will get from a screen – they will also provide shade, shelter from gusts of wind and any eyesores you don’t want to see – like your neighbours fence...See MoreFitting a fridge in a corner - options.....
Comments (19)Hi Siriuskey, thank you, that is really a great option. Floorplan-wise it makes sense and makes use of the hallway space (hallways being somewhat redundant). Also makes use of the radiant power of solid-fuel heating to heat the bricks up. I would estimate around $7K to do the structural work, just cant do that right now, but I may keep that up my sleeve for down the track. I think you 'get' the sense of scale, by not putting any cupboards on the wall it's a good way to open the space in this reno The more I get into it I realise the difference between renovation and restoration. Probably been edging on the side of restoration (ie heritage focus) but am getting more pragmatic. Thanks again, cool layout...See More

5 years agoIf this is a free standing fridge it would better to keep it as so. The fridge doors often need to protrude beyond the neighbouring carcasses in order for them to open 90 degrees or more. You could get a good joiner to put fillers round but essentially airflow is also required so you would need to put vents in to allow that to happen. It is the wrong fridge if you want to avoid gaps round. Maytag do fridge freezers that can be completely integrated (see photo below) and Fisher Paykel do fridge freezers with fitting kits to keep the stainless doors look. The only other option is to move the fridge away from the cabinetry altogether and have it free standing as it was meant to be. You could move it right over to the right hand wall or other space but the fridge would still require space to open the doors back fully in order to pull out food trays. However, the design you have is not wrong and many people choose this option and don't worry about the gaps.

5 years agoPersonally I think an integrated larder fridge and an integrated larder freezer gives you better chiller space and looks better.
Separately the sizes on the illustration don’t match what has been drawn, the extractor seems crowded by the units each side, the flyover shelf is now a dated feature, the basket feature seems odd at the end and might be better in the middle (assuming there are other traditional features and it is not on its own.) It also seems like the island seating doesn’t have a deep enough overhang and the wrap around of the overhang might be better on the opposite side.

5 years agoLeave the fly over shelf out the design (as shown in the image below).
It may be worthwhile contacting a concept planner who sells design and therefore won't try to fit the most number of cabinets in the design or get you to secure a deposit. Wren do often do get you to put down a deposit as soon as, claiming the quote is a one day only offer (lol).

5 years agoIf you search the Internet you will find most manufacturers offer a range of integrated appliances. I enclose a picture of a Seimens fridge which I believe is the same as I have at home.
In my experience the best way to source appliances is to find a kitchen retailer that specialises in a brand you like. Most independents are good for this. Personally I don’t think any saving for internet purchases outweighs the inconvenience of waiting in for all the different deliveries and the cost of calling back trades to fit them. Your independent kitchen retailer will also make sure they all match- I have seen more than one post on Houzz where people have proudly but obliviously shown off their mismatched appliances in their new kitchen.

5 years agoAside from everything mentioned above: I'd get as many drawer units as possible. They are just easier to reach into.
As Asifa said, just leave out the flyover shelf.
From experience: you have more space in an integrated fridge and integrated freezer.
