Comments (8)Cute pooch. The obvious choice based upon your likes might seem to be a glass and metal table; however, that would not provide you with any storage space and you'd probably not like the wires to be visible. You'll obviously want to leave a few inches on each side of your desk. With that in mind, measure the maximum space -- width and depth (so as to not interfere with a walkspace) -- available for your desk and post that. What, if anything, is on the wall above desk height - must that stay? Also consider what items you will be wanting to keep in/at your desk -- computer/laptop and/or printer etc., -- how much storage space will you need....See Morenew apartment design help needed
Comments (3)It's nice that you tried to create a floor plan and gave dimensions. However, the kitchen area you are asking for help with doesn't match up with the photos you provided. You say there is only 31" of floor space between the cabinets and the wall, but I can see at least 50". I'm guessing you measured the space between the refrigerator and the wall? Unless there are cabinets that I can't see on the wall opposite the sink area, you have room for a 30" square 2-person table with chairs right there. If you want a table for more people it should move into the living room, because dining tables start at about 36" wide by 60" long, although you can find drop-leaf tables that take up slightly less room. There might also be space for storage across from the range. Wire shelving is great for pantry items, freeing up counter space and allowing more cabinet space for dishware and cookware....See Moretear it apart—kitchen design and Island Size help!!!
Comments (6)You said you “kinda fell in love” with the bigger island. I was positive I knew the perfect size of my new island until I did a full size mock up in my actual size. My ideal, from a storage standpoint, was 72”. Once I set up one of my 72” folding tables, I saw instantly it was too big. It crowded my aisles and overwhelmed my kitchen. My island is a perfect 60”. Taking the few minutes to set up boxes or a table of the size you dream will convince you which size works best. I also used my mock-up to visually convince Mr. Wonderful why seating at a counter wouldn’t work as well as a separate table and chairs. ( for the record, sitting at the counter placed the three best views behind us). My daughter used cheap wrapping paper to make patterns to actual size of fridge, range, dishwasher, and sink. We spent an hour or so moving those cutouts around the kitchen of the cabin she is building until-voila’-we discovered switching the range with the fridge gave her a small pantry space. We put plywood on two saw horses to decide the size of the island. Cutting that size by six inches gave her proper clearances. There was a post earlier this week about a too big island already installed. An hour or two doing mockups, living with mockups for a day or two in the actual space can either convince you the size is perfect or needs to be tweaked....See MoreRelated Professionals
