New House Kitchen Suggestions on Design/Layout
Comments (33)OK. here's what I was thinking when I discussed moving the BP, etc. Unfortunately, I do not have time to document the detailed analysis, but if you read the Kitchen Design FAQ threads linked below, you should be able to see why I did what I did. No through traffic in the Prep Zone, Cooking Zone, and Baking Center! Note: I would have preferred to switch the refrigerator and ovens on the bottom wall, but I wanted to recess the refrigerator to allow you to have a larger refrigerator and there wasn't enough room in the wall below where the ovens are. . Zone Map: . Kitchen Design Best Practices/Guidelines threads -- These threads explain best practices/good design guidelines for items such as work zones, aisles, island/peninsula seating, etc. These threads will help you understand questions/comments you will receive. Layout Help -- FAQ for asking for layout help. It has a sample measured layout as well as a description of the other information we need [Included for reference] .

Comments (5)I'm flabbergasted that an architect would actually draw that plan with the pantry so close to the island. If you make it into a corner pantry (not my favorite, but in this case it would work), and then move the ovens to that side, it would open up the kitchen to the DR, and allow more light from the window to enter the kitchen. That would also place the MW closer to the fridge, for easy re-heating of left-overs. Is the pic from a model kitchen in a spec home? If you have the latitude, I'd suggest making the island longer, to provide more prep space to the right of the sink, and making the cabinets on the fridge wall deeper, or at least pulling out standard depth cabinets to the same depth as the fridge box....See MoreFirst rough draft and kitchen suggestions?

Comments (1)Any suggestions on how to update? The wood piece above the Window looks strange and dated to me. I would like to paint the cabinets and put in backsplash but unsure what colours?...See Moresheepla
