2 Kitchen Layout Designs. Which one is better?
Comments (9)The visuals you have are at different vantage points. The second gives the look a tunnel effect I think because it is taken so far back. More importantly though is the functioning of the kitchen, and even more so the entire house. From experience, the kitchen designers on this site are going to want you to graph out the cabinets etc. to make suggestions off of. Visually, I think it would be best to allow more space along the back with the vent and cabinets. Perhaps even some glass upper cabinets to provide a more open look. Have you given up making the current door from kitchen to patio into a window? If you have, perhaps you could widen the sink window instead. With the extra cabinets on the opposite side of the pennisula, you should have enough storage to allow for loosing some storage to a bigger window. Depending on your options for furniture placement in the living room, perhaps you can take down an additional wall between the dining room and living room to create a more open feel for the main living areas while still keeping the kitchen mess hidden to a degree....See MoreLayout/design help please- kitchen remodel
Comments (11)Although there would be some wasted space, you might consider putting the cooktop in the corner. That would allow you move the ovens over beside the fridge. In turn the sink and DW would need to move toward the door. In the larger drawing I enlarged the window, but if that is not possible due to the brick veneer, you could move the sink off-center to the window, but set the faucet off-center to the sink--more centered on the window to disguise the off-center sink. I eliminated the stub wall beside the fridge to provide more space between the ovens and hood. The fridge would then have a wood surround with a full depth cabinet above. Have you considered a MW in the oven stack? Images--corner cooktop...See MorePlease help! Which kitchen design is better?
Comments (16)Even though the cabinets are in production, you may still be able to make some changes if they haven't made those doors yet. All those 12" doors would drive me crazy. The KD probably felt that 21" was a little on the big side, which it is, but doable and so much better than all those 12". Not to mention that 2 cabinets probably would have been less expensive that 4. Is there a reason they couldn't put the range in the middle as you show? Maybe a stud in the way of the range hood? Waiting until it's installed to make changes is a bad option, IMO....See MoreWant to design our kitchen? Layout help please
Comments (1)Hi all I would love some design assistance layout with our kitchen! We're a family of 6. Mainly eat at home. Cook and bake frequently. Can occasionally. Our home was built in 1890. A Minnesota farmhouse. We have a few acres. Our fairly large entry leads directly into our kitchen. 9' 2" ceilings We have a door opening into a library/sitting room also off the kitchen. I'd love a large island and sink under the window (probably the north window) We've considered all the appliances on one wall (north wall) Stove, sink, dishwasher, fridge from West to east. Island in the middle probably nothing on stairway wall. But considered fridge on that wall as well. Just add to this puzzle, about 2 years ago we purchased cabinets from Medallion (it's headquarters in our town) we've kept them in storage in one of our rooms... so whatever cabinets that we can use from our stash would be a bonus. We will order whatever we need. I planned on having to order everything for our island. We have the following cabinets (frameless) Upper: (2) 27" x 42" (1) 24" x 42 (1) 15" x 42 (1) 39x 42 Lowers: (1) 24x30 2 drawer base (1) 30 x 30 2 drawer base (1) 15" 4 drawer base (2) 27" base 1 drawer, 2 doors 36" sink base. (1 ) 9" base 1 door 30x 96" pantry 36" whitehaven Kohler artifacts faucet Let me know what else I can answer and thank you so much!...See Morehjk73
