Layout/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 MoreKitchen remodel design dilemma - Please help before we move ahead!
Comments (16)That kitchen makes no sense at all. You have only 3 mimsy little sections of countertop to work on (besides the island). But the island is clearly designed primarily for eating. Think of this: When you're baking or prepping a turkey, where do you put the big stuff as you work? You have no counter section big enough to hold the turkey pan and the bowl of stuffing as you fill the bird, no counter section big enough for a cookie sheet and a stand mixer. And don't suggest doing the raw turkey on the island, because there is no sink there for it and the island is for eating; you don't want raw turkey goop on the island. You have no continuous countertop flow between the sink and the stove (because of the oven), so every drippy thing has to be carried across the floor because there's an oven in the way. Slip hazard. And with the freezer, pantry, and wine/coffee bar 25 feet away, it gives the sense that the whole 625 sq. ft. space is kitchen. There's no place to put a dining table that allows it to have its own space. It will always look like a kitchen table, caught in the cross traffic between two 6-foot doorways.

Comments (24)Here's an island plan. You mentioned that you enjoy the view from your kitchen and I think that should be a priority and maximized. My childhood home has counter seating in the kitchen with a lovely view. It's the best place to hang out. I'm not clear on the dimensions or the plan for the area around the back door and present laundry zone, so I made some guesses in that corner. I thought it would be a good place for reach in/roll out pantries and a ~48" worktop+ upper cabinets for a coffee station and small appliance storage. The distance between the island and the nearestwall is 44", which is probably wider than your hallway. I'm hopeful that I didn't miss something and that you can indeed widen that opening between dining and kitchen. It would be great for the dining area to take advantage of view and natural light from the kitchen as well as let the cook interact more with those outside the kitchen. Here's a floor plan and a 3d view from the dining room opening....See MoreHelp! Need Design Help on Kitchen Remodel to "warm" space
Comments (2)Warming the space with that charcoal island and cool looking flooring might call for some hot orange or yellow accessories on the shelves. I don't have a housekeeper, so anything that requires additional cleaning isn't my style, but wood would help warm things up. It must coordinate with your flooring though. Best to focus on canisters, small appliances for warmth. Red/orange Yellow Cool, but cool......See MoreGreenDesigns
