SCULLERY I think you should remove all the

built-in cupboards, except for the sink unit.

Simply replace the doors and make space for the

dishwasher you moved from the laundry room to fit in

under the sink. Tile the area behind the sink with

10 x 10cm white tiles in a grid style to echo those in

the laundry. Buy a freestanding three-door wardrobe

and place it where you’ve taken the built-in cupboards

out – look on Gumtree for a second-hand one at a

good price. If the cupboard doesn’t have any, install

shelves in the double-door section for a pantry, and

use the single door side as a broom cupboard.

Either keep the original wood or paint it white.

TOILET If you’d like to use the toilet off the laundry

as a guest loo, I suggest installing a barn-style sliding

door for privacy. Hoity Toity Furniture stocks a wide

range with hardware, and delivers countrywide. Hang a

beautiful mirror above the basin in the loo and install

hooks for towels, then add baskets, indoor plants and a

runner rug to decorate the space.

Colour choice All the doors in the room should be

painted in the same colour. A dusty-pink such as

Plascon Kisses for You could work well. Put a fresh coat

of white on the ceiling and wash the tiles with sugar

soap if they’re stained. Paint the window frame white

and add a white roller blind to complete the look.

Colour choice Paint all the walls in the scullery

white, except for the wall behind the sink; this

one can be painted in a light grey such as

Plascon Light Grey Aluminium. Paint the back

door in the same colour as the laundry doors

to create flow between the different areas.

Paint the window frame white. >>
