Kitchen design help, please?
Comments (6)I am in LOVE with this layout! Thank you so much! I did have a baking area built into the old design, so you are so perceptive! May I ask you a few questions? What does p&p mean, and how big is the island? How many inches are between the cabinet and island? I think I want to scratch the whole old kitchen and use this heavenly plan! Again, thank you. I've been told by three designers that I can not have an island, so I very much appreciate your help....See MoreKitchen Design Help Please... second try....
Comments (13)I much prefer Jillius' 2nd example of seating but honestly, I'm not a huge fan of sitting and eating at the counter as a regular habit. Why not consider just abutting a table against the island like this: [Industrial Kitchen[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/industrial-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2113) by Chicago Architects & Building Designers Besch Design, Ltd. This would give you the flexibility to pull the table away from the island and turn it to seat 6 when needed. I would do a 60" long table so that the people seated closest to the island don't feel crowded up against it. Your island arrangement looks crowded to me. Here's another table against an island: [Contemporary Kitchen[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/contemporary-kitchen-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_709~s_2103) by Vancouver Design-Build Firms VictorEric...See Moreaspiring kitchen designers, help please!
Comments (9)Assuming you want to keep the peninsula and clean-up sink in the current location, this rough plan gives you a walk-in pantry and fridge/freezer columns, but I couldn't fit side-by-side ovens. There is a MW on a shelf beside the fridge/freezer, with landing space below. The island has seating on two sides, with shared trash pull-out on the corner. Separate prep and clean-up zones allow a helper to load or unload the DW, or set the table, without interfering with prep and cooking. The base cabinet in the corner between the clean-up sink and cooktop opens toward the family room, so that space is not wasted. The optional cabinet above it can also open toward the FR, to stow a purse, phones/charger, bills, etc. The pantry has a sliding door, with optional sliders to close off the kitchen from the formal LR....See MoreKitchen design help please!
Comments (20)Beautiful stone! Hope you’ll come back and share the final reveal! For the layout: I would move your DW to the other side of the sink - as is, when it is open it blocks access to the sink from the fridge and access to the range...See MoreDaryl Vescio
