Contemporary Kitchen Layout - help please
Comments (3)A quick look at the contemporary-style kitchens on Houzz and via Google shows many kitchens with pantry walls. So I think you're safe with the pantry wall. Are you talking about the empty wall that you can see in your second diagram showing the 3d view? Not every wall needs to have cabinets on it. I think that would be a great place to display a huge single piece of modern art. And I think something like that is very fitting for a contemporary space. I'm more concerned about some layout and clearance issues. Do you intend for more than one person to be working in the kitchen? If so, I really think the sink and range directly across from each other is going to be a problem. 48" is the minimum clearance recommended for working back-to-back in a kitchen. This aisle is really only suitable for single use. At the very least, you could move the range over to the left, switching places with that 36" drawer stack. That would alleviate that problem a bit. I don't think you would want to move the island closer to the pantry wall as people sitting there would get in the way of that traffic lane. You probably wouldn't want to narrow the island either or people sitting there would start getting too close to the sink. You wouldn't want everybody to get sprayed. Do you plan on a table to be in the open space? I hope it's tiny as it will impede going through the sliders if it's very large. I think you would benefit from having a built-in banquette style bench there instead of a pantry. That would free up some floor space for better maneuvering and I think it would make your space feel bigger....See MorePlease help to identify and find siding panel (contemporary vertical)

Comments (27)Love the cow in foyer - makes me smile & makes the “serious“ art less so. May be perspective in photo but foyer looks long a bit austere. A longer table would help? Or, a chair or something with that ”weight“ next to existing table & on the front door side (right side facing table). Agree Larger art would be good over fireplace & would like to see the large piece you showed up there just to see difference It makes. Agree the items under existing art should be removed - leave the pitcher & 2 pieces on other end. Beautiful home !...See MoreHelp Please - Best Exterior Colors for Prairie Contemporary Elevation
Comments (23)Funny. Who knew the internet needed things so drawn out. Benjamin Moore Storm Not a bowel movement nor a 💩storm The reality is to the OP the colour that looks good on your home needs to be your choice, in the light and location you have. Get some samples, paint some big pages and see what works. We did not have storm as our top choice before doing the samples. There are so so many grey colours...See MoreRelated Professionals
