My dream Kitchen – Kitchen Ideas
We currently live in an old Rectory which is lovely. It has loads of space inside and out but there are some areas in which it is seriously lacking. The bathrooms and the kitchen are to put it nicely basic. I’ve managed to brighten up the bathroom with a new shower curtain, bathmat and towels. The kitchen however is much more difficult, think of a student house kitchen, but cleaner and you will be about there. The oven is a standalone, electric hob, with only 3 working as a knob fell off! When I’m in their cooking us a nice dinner on a Saturday night, glass in hand, I like to imagine I am in my dream kitchen. If we had our own house and money was no object I have some amazing kitchen ideas.
When I look at houses online it’s the kitchen and bathroom that quite often sell the property to me. The bathroom needs to be bright and modern, with a nice bath, if its a roll top I would be in heaven. The kitchen should be the soul of a home and the space needs to reflect this. I like the layout of the kitchen below with the drinks fridge central along with the oven. I can imagine cooking and chatting with family and friends.

I agree a Kitchen does sell a house. You have some beautiful ideas for Kitchens here. We bought a new build house in 2010 and were lucky enough to choose the cupboards, worktops and tiles for ours as they were building it, so we do have a lovely space to mostly our own design. Good luck in finding your dream kitchen

I will just have to carry on dreaming too! My kitchen is nothing like I would like it to be! It is so expensive to refurb a kitchen isn’t it?! I love your choices though and wish you good luck to achieve having your dream one, one day :)#PicknMix
Oooo what beautiful kitchen choices! They are so pulled together & clean cut. I agree that the lighting is so important. I too love a bright kitchen! Thanks so much for hosting #PicknMix x
I think you and I have very similar tastes in a kitchen. We are hoping to move in about 18 months and a big open plan family kitchen is top of my lists. A kitchen with an island and a breakfast bar has been a dream for me since I was much younger – my husband always makes me fun of me for being so obsessed with breakfast bars haha! #PicknMix
What beautiful kitchens. I believe to a good kitchen and bathroom sell a house. My dream kitchen would have an island – that’s my only requirement lol! Thanks for hosting #picknmix xx
Yep I’m a fan of the islands too x
Some great ideas! #PicknMix
I would love to have my dream kitchen one day. Black and white or a warm kind of wood and white would be my dream x
Oh sounds lovely Beth! x
Love these, especially the second one. I definitely think the kitchen is the heart and soul of any home and it needs to be a good size. I hope your kitchen dreams come true one day 🙂 xx #picknmix
Thank you, so do I! x
I love that light in the bottom photo! Very cool x #picknmix
I love it too x
such beautiful choices!! very jealous…we rent our house so can’t do anything about our kitchen! 🙁 #PickNMix
Neither can we at the moment, so depressing, maybe 1 day x
Love the pictures We’ve just re-done our kitchen and put on an extension to make a big open plan living space. It was finished on Christmas Eve and the difference it’s made to family life already is huge. Will be doing some blog posts about it soon. #picknmix
Looks amazing and very in trend X #picknmix
Those kitchens are just gorgeous. The blue one is like my dream kitchen, but i doubt the drinks fridge would ever be that full haha! We are just working out finances to see if we can afford to do our kitchen in the next few months. I really hope so! The one we have currently is horrid, grubby, dark, old and freezing cold! #picknmix
Oh wow, these are beautiful. Just imagine the meals we could make in one of these. Dream Dream Dream!!
I do agree that a kitchen is the heart of a home and is the most important thing to me. Love your ideas. We took the plunge last year and finally invested in our dream kitchen which I’m still in love with. We went for light grey and charcoal shaker units with an island and integrated oven – it’s so practical and social, definitely the best investment we’ve ever made. I hope you get around to creating your dream soon x #Picknmix
Some gorgeous choices! The kitchen is my favourite room in our house – I’m a rubbish cook, but it’s a light blue colour and very relaxing!

These are great ideas for a kitchen. They are all gorgeous. Might as well add them to my wishlist! Hey, someday somehow you’ll be able to achieve that dream kitchen of yours, who knows..
