We have a house which we are currently refurbishing to rent out. It is a 1950s three bed semi. The kitchen is oddly shaped and the storage space is dire - not even equivalent to the storage in a studio kitchen. There is an outside brick built shed and I would like to turn it into a utility with sink, washing machine, tumble dryer and counters for folding and sorting washing. This would allow us to add quite a bit of useable storage space in the kitchen (it currently has 4 very narrow small cupboards, one single cupboard, a set of drawers and a corner cabinet which cannot be used). Taking the washing machine, dryer and freezer out of the kitchen will make a massive difference and even allow us to install a narrow dishwasher. All the tradesmen say don’t do it, all the women (who arguably are more likely to ise the kitchen) say storage space is more important.
I can see both sides but feel that better storage is more important. What do you think?
