Kitchens for Period Homes
Do you live in a South Birmingham terrace house and need kitchen design ideas?
Kitchen ideas shouldn't be limited just because you live in a narrow Victorian terrace; the limited size offers endless inspiration for modern and new custom kitchens to work. Of course, there are challenges with galley kitchens; the most obvious is the overall narrowness. Unlike an open plan kitchen where space is rarely an issue, the original Victorian galley-style kitchen installation can pose problems, such as limiting the number of guests to mill around freely when at a social gathering or when several people are cooking simultaneously. The great thing about bespoke kitchens is that they have an opportunity to alleviate these drawbacks, delivering a work and living space that will meet all expectations for the entire family. One of the most popular additions to a modern kitchen in a terraced house is extending into the garden area, outwards, and to the side, creating extra length and depth. This feature is ideal when you want to combine a kitchen diner and living space, but it will also offer more space for cabinetry, storage and maybe, a desirable central kitchen island.
The benefits of speaking to a kitchen designer to explore your options
When you are next looking for a kitchen design and installation near me, consider the help and assistance of a professional kitchen designer. Not only will a kitchen planner be able to imagine, calculate and create a solution where you will maximise the existing space. A qualified designer is also incredibly knowledgeable with years of kitchen supply and fit experience, where they have been instrumental in reshaping and defining an area to exceed expectations. A designer understands the challenges and limitations of galley kitchens within terraced houses. Creating a smarter living and dining area that blends into the kitchen means there are no boundaries, where walls are not obstacles. Still, with careful planning and creative building work, they are mere gateways to an open and more spacious living area.
A kitchen planner can help reshape and renovate your current kitchen space.
Choosing a tailored approach to kitchen design opens up many opportunities. There are no limits to the array of bespoke kitchens and ideas of how your vision, with some professional help, can be turned into reality. As kitchens have become spaces more than to cook in, their relevance and multi-purpose nature have demanded more significant space to combine living with working. In the traditional victorian terrace, the kitchen areas face the back; this offers a unique chance to reshape and renovate. For open plan living, the front reception room and second living room work well when knocked through, so the entire downstairs area is open plan. Often, people opt for the second reception room and kitchen area to be an all-in-one zone. A kitchen designer can plan the removal of internal and external walls and extend outwards, both in widthways and in length. Many luxury kitchens designed by a professional planner will also benefit from additional light source options, especially in galley-style kitchens, where skylights are perfect because natural light will enhance and elevate the overall space.
