Help with kitchen layout, please...
Comments (3)You can have an L by moving the fridge and a 12" wide pantry to the range wall. Then, have a (maybe slightly wider) and longer island. So, on the range wall, 12" pantry, fridge, 12" cab then range, etc. Range would not be centered on the wall and there would be less space b/w range and sink but there can be additional prep space on the island. You can have 12" (15"?) deep cabs, shelves for additional storage on the bottom wall at the spot where you now have the pantry plus part of the fridge area there can also be used. I learned from the experts in this forum that, when measuring aisles a 1"-1.5" should also be added to the depth of cabs for counter overhang and vaguely remember reading counter deep fridges being a bit deeper than counter....See MoreHi EVERYBODY – newbies need help with kitchen layout please
Comments (34)Just off the top of my head, I would probably move the table into the flex room right now and put your piano front and center in the great room. Make your piano the star in the room. Use the flex room as your dining room since you don't use it that often. Then I'd probably put a prep sink on the island with your cooktop centered as you had it. I'd move the ovens down to the left side and put the cleanup sink on the right with the dw to the right of the sink. You don't need a window over a cleanup sink as you spend maybe 10 minutes a day cleaning up. Put a pretty shelf or a dish rack or a pretty tile arrangement over the cleanup sink. I'd make the laundry room into one long room and move the W/D against the outside wall. You could also just enclose it with pocket doors and have the mudroom/laundry as one large room. I'd ditch the pantry sink and just have the pantry as one large pantry/butler's pantry. You have room to make the guest room larger. I did so in the plan. Yes it's not equal but you'll never notice it when you're actually walking into the room. Trust me on that. You don't view your space from the ceiling. That automatically narrows the foyer and since the door opens against the guest room, that too will help you not see that it's not "equal"....See MoreHelp with kitchen layout please?
Comments (2)Hi, I feel like you have a good start. A couple of things I would say: 1) Would you be interested in putting in an island, with seating, instead of the dining table? That can give you some additional storage. 2) I think the 3" panel between the fridge and the wall is definitely a good idea, and if you put a 3/4" fridge panel on the other side, I don't think it's a big deal to lose that small wall cabinet. I would even shrink the cabinet on the other side of the sink a bit to leave the same couple of inches open around the window. 3) Look into an L-shaped or easy-reach corner cabinet for both wall and base if you don't like corners, different companies call them different things but the idea is that it looks like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/738942251334803683/...See MoreHelp with Kitchen layout please!
Comments (233)Can you post the plans again down here to serve as a reference? I like view within a house, and I’m charmed by the view to the kitchen from the hall. The tall faucet at the prep sink against the window harkens back to a pump at the back door, but more convenient. How is the refrigerator location working out? And please, pantry and entry pics!...See Moredamiarain
