Kitchen Conversion With Wall Removal
Batewood Renovations Ltd are kitchen conversion specialist in Bristol. Kitchen conversions can transform a mundane cooking space into a fun, enjoyable space for friends and family. For this project, we had to change a few things. We had to remove a side window, block up and make good as the wall units were over it. We also replaced the old aluminium sliding doors with new UPVC doors and removed the old kitchen back door and blocked up the opening to fit a new window. In doing this, we were able to fit more base units over the old back door meaning more cabinet space for the client and a sink unit in a better position.
We removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room turning the kitchen and dining room into one space. Having an island in the kitchen really makes the space and a great design feature of having different colours on the island helping it to stand out. The herringbone floor pattern is great for these areas too.
Understanding Local Regulations
Before diving into your kitchen conversion project, it’s crucial to understand the local regulations in Bristol. The city has specific guidelines to preserve its architectural heritage. Ensure you consult with the Bristol City Council to acquire necessary permissions, especially if your property is listed or in a conservation area. Click here for Bristol Building control notice.
Maximizing Space and Functionality
One of the primary goals of any kitchen conversion is to maximize space and functionality. In Bristol, many homes feature compact kitchens. Consider modern design solutions like open-plan layouts, integrated appliances, and smart storage solutions to make the most out of limited space. We love removing kitchen walls to 0pen up the space between rooms. Utilizing light colours and reflective surfaces can also help create an illusion of a larger area.
Engaging Professional Help
While DIY projects can be fulfilling, engaging professional help for your kitchen conversion in Bristol ensures that the job is done correctly and efficiently. Local architects and interior designers are well-versed in the city’s architectural nuances and can offer valuable insights. We work with architects and structural engineers to ensure the design of your space works for you.
In conclusion, kitchen conversions in Bristol offer a fantastic opportunity to blend modern functionality with historic charm. By understanding local regulations, maximizing space, choosing the right materials, and engaging professional help, you can create a stunning kitchen that enhances your home’s value and appeal.
