Need help with an oddly shaped Kitchen layout!

6 years ago

We are planned a full renovation and need help with the kitchen layout of our outdated kitchen. We plan to have french door refrigerator, open up the wall that the stove is currently on for an open concept to the living room, and have wall oven + microwave, lastly we want to keep the pantry if possible but could do either way.

Living room what shares the wall

Welcome to Kitchens. You'll need to upload a drawing of the floor plan, with all walls, windows, and doors labeled and measured. Include any architectural elements that can't be moved, and label all adjacent rooms. Drawn on a graph (one square~1' or 6") is better, but not necessary. If you don't have a drawing program, draw it on paper, take a pic, and upload.

Hi, Gardenwebbers! I am looking for help with our master bathroom. 1991 home, moved in a few years ago. In a couple more years, we plan to remodel the bath. It's an oddly shaped space, yet large with 142" ceilings and a vault/skyligt. We plan on rearranging most things. (Toilet staying put.) Do you think I am on track here with the design? I have no idea what I am doing, but it sure is fun! See attached images. p.s. homestyler is the COOLEST website ever!!!! I feel like Joanna Gaines! Many thanks, Megan existing existing.... existing... existing layout.... inspiration pic 1 inspiration pic 2 mockup of new layout/design...

It seems odd that all the suggestions have most or all of the seating with its back to the TV and/or the windows. I dunno, but I think I'd put the couch as in your first photo, and add a couple of chairs in that same zone = TV room. Then put a small cluster of chairs at the other end of the room as a conversational grouping (around a table) with the option to look out the windows or enjoy the fireplace.

The stove is gas and we've never used it. I would love to tear out all the brickwork but the original chimney is walled off behind it so it would be a huge, expensive project if it's even structurally feasible. This house has a lot of projects and the main level is my priority so the wet bar will have to wait even though it would be great to have that done. Maybe I can find a slide to attach to the wet bar...they climb on it anyway...and then put the climber on the back deck if it will fit. My boys play outside a ton when we have snow, but 2/3 of the winter we have no snow and apparently it's not so much fun to play outside when it's cold, windy, and dry. We did have the room open for a playroom when we first moved in but then DH insisted on getting that sectional. I would have preferred just a couch and more open space. Maybe if I split the sectional up I can make the room more open again.

Thanks. The office set-up is just in there temporarily for COVID. We have a built-in table for 8 in the kitchen w/the ability to extend, so we don't need a dining room and the living room we have in back is much bigger. Mostly the room has sat unused for the last year. Agreed on the space being best near where we spend our time until they're old enough - that floor is kitchen & living room, so between the two, that's really where we'll be.
