In this episode of Love Your Kitchen, host Faye Newman chats with homeowners Sarah and Phil to reflect on their kitchen renovation two years on. This honest, real-life kitchen remodel covers design choices, delays, and how the space has reshaped daily cooking and family life. Expect practical kitchen ideas on zoning with an island, an appliance-hiding breakfast unit, a utility overhaul, and clever ways to manage light and storage.
Key Takeaways
Flow first in kitchen design. A compact working triangle (fridge–sink–hob/ovens) plus a generous island gives landing space for prep and serving.
Kitchen organisation beats clutter. A breakfast dresser (appliance garage) hides a kettle, toaster, microwave, and mixers, keeping counters clear while keeping everything to hand, especially helpful for enthusiastic home cooking.
A pantry that prevents waste. A reduced-depth larder makes every tin visible, cutting duplicates and food waste, smart kitchen ideas that work day-to-day.
Utility room that actually works. Stacked washer/dryer, a wider cupboard for hoover/ironing board, and boot storage turned a through-space into a calm organiser. (Yes, they even “measured Henry” for the cupboard!)
Prototype clearances. Masking-tape layouts and checking appliance doors (e.g., dishwasher on the island) avoided awkward shimmies later—simple, low-cost insurance during a kitchen remodel.
Best Moments
“The island… zones it really well and anchors the room.”
“Every morning… I come in and just think, I love it.”
“Delay is an inevitable part of the process… accept there will be delay.”
“Friday night kitchen discos… all getting involved with some vinyl on, it’s delightful.”
