DIY: Q&A

Q. I have a 60cm space left in the kitchen that’s wasted. Is there a quick way to create small breakfast bar that won’t intrude?

A. A drop-leaf table is an old fashioned but simple solution for an instant dining spot. IKEA have just introduced a 60cm Norberg drop-leaf table in white. It folds back to act as a shelf and costs just €39.

Q. We are trying to incorporate a second food preparation area near the sink, but don’t know how much room to allow.
