Small but perfectly formed for a tenner !

 Ey up my faithful blogworms, Sorry my blogs are a bit sporadic at the moment. As we're working away a lot installing our fabulous Eco kitchens all over the place, I'm not at Milestone H.Q. much. 
However, things calming down a bit on the nationwide front with more local work happening now so I should be with you more regularly.

This week, coming from our ability to create custom sized units at will, I thought I would focus on Small Space Kitchens.

Two examples of which are shown in the pics this week.

Working in a small space provides challenges every bit as much as planning large kitchens but everything needs to be thought about in much more detail. The two kitchens shown hardly have a standard sized unit in either but you wouldn't automatically notice as the size changes are subtle and just enough to make everything fit really well.

The top kitchen is only a little over 5ft deep (1500mm) x 6ft 6" wide (1950mm), a miniscule 32.5 sq.ft of space with only 1 door into it and surprisingly has: oven, hob, extractor, 2 cutlery drawers, dishwasher, fridge, sink and microwave, loads of shelving and some wall units. 


It's location is in a small seaside cottage, really quaint & cosy and just big enough for a couple to live in comfortably. You sort of look into it and think tiny kitchen, not great, but actually when you study it everything is there that you could possibly want to function in such a small space.


The second kitchen is in a space a touch under 8ft ( 2360mm) x 4ft (1220mm) a similar space of just under 32 sq.ft but it has 3 doorways, 1 into it, 1 to outside and 1 into the cellar. 

In here we've managed to get an oven, hob, fridge, sink with drainer and a worktop dresser unit to provide drawers for cutlery. Using reduced depth and resized units we've managed to provide more dry goods storage on the opposite wall next to the radiator. 

This kitchen's in a tidy little two up, two down terrace house where we were able to locate a washing machine in the cellar using a Sanivite unit to pump the waste water back upstairs and outside into the drains, keeping the noisy machine out of the kitchen and putting in the stuff you need to function.

Again, hardly a standard unit in the room but the size changes are so subtle it you don't immediately notice them. The corner sink base unit was a particular challenge with a new an inventive way of joining the worktops together without compromising the joint.

Both are great examples of how, with a bit more thought and clever design can make a good workable kitchen in a space where you took one look at it and thought  ..... "You want what ?" " in there ?" "You must be joking !"

Milestone at our best .. thinking more and creating wisely the optimum units for the optimum space and use. Bespoke done the way it should be !

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, a dimension change only costs a measly tenner,  £10 !! and makes hundreds of pounds worth of difference to the design, fit and workability of your finished kitchen, created by those wonderfully inventive people at Milestone.

George Clark .... We can make spaces amazing aswell !!

See you next time. Jules
