At Ashfield Installations, there is nothing quite like taking an outdated, cramped room and turning it into the beating heart of a home.
We recently wrapped up a dream project right here on our home turf in Sutton-in-Ashfield: a complete kitchen and dining room transformation. The homeowners wanted to open up their living space, upgrade their appliances, and create a sleek, light-filled area perfect for both family meals and weekend entertaining.
Here is a look inside how we brought this open-plan vision to life! 🍽️✨
The Brief: Out with the Old, In with Open-Plan Living
The original layout featured a small, dark kitchen separated from an underutilized dining area by a dividing wall. It felt segmented, lacked storage, and didn’t fit the flow of modern daily life.
The Homeowners’ Wishlist:
- Open-Plan Flow: Knocking down the partition wall to create a seamless kitchen-diner.
- Modern Aesthetic: Deep navy shaker-style cabinetry paired with bright quartz worktops for a timeless, luxury finish.
- Smart Storage: Maximize floor-to-ceiling space with clever larders and integrated appliance housing.
- Energy-Efficient Lighting & Glazing: Brighten the entire space using LED spotlights and premium modern glazing.
The Transformation: How Ashfield Installations Delivered
Transforming a kitchen isn’t just about putting up cabinets—it requires meticulous planning, expert joinery, structural precision, and flawless finishing touches.
1. Spatial Planning & Structural Work
Our team safely removed the internal non-load-bearing wall to open up the room. By removing the boundary between cooking and dining, we instantly doubled the visual footprint of the ground floor.
2. Custom Kitchen Fitting & Joinery
We fitted bespoke shaker-style units featuring soft-close hinges, hidden pull-out larders, and integrated space for modern kitchen tech. The rich navy units contrast beautifully with polished quartz countertops and brushed gold hardware.
3. Integrated Dining & Flooring
To connect the two zones, we laid continuous luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring throughout the entire space. This unified the kitchen and dining area while offering an easy-to-clean, highly durable surface suitable for high-traffic family life.
4. High-Efficiency Windows & Doors
As part of our complete supply-and-fit service, we upgraded the existing rear window and patio door to A-rated energy-efficient double glazing. This maximized natural daylight in the new dining space while keeping heating bills low during Nottinghamshire’s chilly winters.
