Need help with fridge space
Comments (18)Hi Louie, Generally speaking, if I'm designing a kitchen for clients, I ask them to choose the appliances first. That way, one can design the kitchen accordingly so that it's designed specifically for what they want. However, obviously, that is not always possible and one has to work with what's there. I'm not sure what your situation is. As your wall on one side is 700, I'd bring everything forward on the other side, so that it's equal. The fridge handle may protrude a little (you'll probably need some clearance at the back for air circulation) but it shouldn't be too bad. See if you can locate the powerpoint for fridge in the cabinet above the fridge, which will mean you can turn it on/off without having to move it. I'd bring the face of that upper cabinet in line with the 700 wall and oven tower. There would be a gap behind the overhead fridge cabinet for the power to come up and into. The other thing I'd say is that you may not need skirting inside fridge cavity....See MoreToo much space either side of fridge?
Comments (31)Refer to your fridge specs before you close anything in. Fair Trading laws in this country have obsoleted warranties. There is now a sliding scale of reasonable expectation on consumer items which means manufacturers will rely on their tech specs more than ever. Check what minimum clearance your fridge officially needs on the sides and above the machine for ventilation before doing anything. Get your lighting working for you. Choose a 'warm white' lamp - not daylight or cool white. Cool whites kill off the warmer hues and makes things appear cold. Change, add or move your lighting to have two small gimbled ceiling lights wash down the face of the joinery instead of one bright light focussed on the fridge. Lighting can make a poor space look great or a great space look poor....See MoreFridge dilemma - no walls - under bench fridge???
Comments (5)I would be reconsidering my open plan options. Completely open plan living looks great but there can be privacy and noise issues for a family of four people. A traditional upright fridge is the most practical and cheapest option for your family. A wall, recess, or nook for your fridge should be part of your design brief requirements, otherwise you are making a huge compromise for your open plan concept. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See MoreHow do I plan a random garden?
Comments (13)I only have 2.5 acres but have drawn an entire garden plan using the basic paint program on your pc. Start by drawing all the boundaries to scale then add the house and any existing trees or structures driveways etc. Then add a perimeter garden all around the fence lines if that is what you wish. These do not have to follow a straight line but can curve in and out to accommodate larger trees. For the rest of the space I drew a combination of large circles and amoeba like shapes. These represent the lawn areas. Connect all these lawn areas together with pathways at leas 2 metres wide. All the odd shapes left in between the lawn areas then become the gardens. Using the paint program you can then fill up these spaces with a variety of different diameter circles to represent the final size shrubs trees and perennials that you will grow. You now have a complete plan to follow when you begin planting. When you buy a plant, look at its size and height and see where it would fit on your plan taking into consideration whether is will get sun or shade where you position it. This method makes for easy mowing as all your grass areas follow easy curves. It also gives you a garden with many garden 'rooms'. You can adopt different themes for each room eg a white garden, a cottage garden, a tropical look garden etc. Also it is some thing that you can develop over time and easily keep track of on your pc. It also helps to keep a spreadsheet of all your plant purchases that shows their height, width, sun requirement bloom time etc. If this sounds like a lot of work then maybe it is not for you but I love planning my garden this way....See MoreLyn Nielson
