Earlier this year, I decided that, rather than move on from the house we renovated and extended ten years ago, which we have since totally outgrown, we would stay, extend again, and remodel the existing spaces. This includes the kitchen, which, over the last decade, has come to seem rather dated, not so much in its appearance, but more in the way it no longer meets our daily needs.
Two particular areas I have come to intensely dislike about the space are the wall units, which now look bulky, outdated, and totally out of keeping with modern kitchen ideas, and the ratio of kitchen drawers to cupboards. There are too many awkward-to-organise cupboards and nowhere near enough sleek, spacious, smooth-running drawers. In fact, if I have my way when it comes to the new kitchen design, there will barely be a cupboard in sight, with the exception, perhaps, of a floor-to-ceiling coffee-station style number (which I would kit out with drawers, incidentally.)
