AAAGGHHH Trying to make decisions about window and veluxes in a room that is not there yet - I'm getting aaagh about all the decisions we have had to make thus far in sorting this ruddy kitchen out - supposed to be a dream - we have been planning it for nearly two years- how indecisive and daft do I sound - no really please dont answer that - lol!!!
Ok - if you are still reading I sincerely thank you - here is todays dilemma - the builders are coming this afternoon and want to know what size doors we want and where as the bricklayer is coming on Monday
wait...I will get a cad drawing of the intended room


Hubby and I both like symmetry but we are sat wondering do we make the french doors and side panels at the end of the room as wide as possible (for a lovely bright room) and put them in the centre of the space that is left (the wall units and the fridge/freezer will stand out 750 from the wall (due to the tambours) in which case we can have the glass bit size 2730 and if we look from outside at that wall there is more wall space from the lounge before you get to the next window if you see what I mean
or do we measure the wall find the halfway point and then have the doors/windows as alrge as we can before it hits the fridge frrezer (obviously with a bit of a space) this will mean the door/windows being 2100


Then from that we have to bear in mind that the veluxes above I want or I think will look best if they are centralised above where the door/windows are situated.
It is the first time and I think the last we are ever going to do this - I soo want to get it right but so ahrd to imagine something that isnt there - I reallllllly need and appreciate your help
The base units are having to be positioned at 750 from the wall because of the tambours above - I have shown full height tambours they are only half that size as they have a wall unit above but couldnt show that on the ikea planner
- one last piccie to show you
