Architect's Top 10 Kitchen Design Mistakes in British Homes

Make Your House Look Like It Cost Twice As Much — And Feel Twice As Big https://liibro.com/l/luxuryhouse A British architect breaks down the ten most common kitchen design mistakes found in homes across the country, and the results may surprise you. From the oversized island squeezed into a Victorian terrace too narrow to carry it, to extraction hoods that simply pump steam straight back into the room, each mistake follows a familiar pattern: the room was designed from a plan view by people paid on the value of the order, not by how well the kitchen actually works on a Tuesday evening. The video covers worktop heights standardised around washing machine dimensions, lighting grids that leave you chopping in your own shadow, the loss of the traditional north-facing larder, scattered wet zones that force unnecessary journeys, poor socket planning, and the single biggest error of all — choosing the doors and colours before thinking about the layout. Drawing on examples from pre-war British domestic life, the video shows that many of the best solutions were already built into older homes, and that most of these mistakes cost nothing to avoid at the drawing stage. #kitchen #homedesign #interiordesign #britishhomes #architecture #renovation #homerenovation #housetips #homeimprovement #design
