Primary Kitchen Sink Placement
Comments (6)The plan looks good but without dimensions and knowing more about you and your needs, it's hard to know for sure. How wide are your aisles? NKBA recommends 44" behind seating for people to walk past seated diners but that's without appliances opening in those aisles. You might want wider aisles than that since 2 island seats back up to appliance runs. Do you really need 9 seats at the island? Or would 7 work? If you can eliminate the one across from the fridge and the one between range and clean-up sink, that would be better. For a working kitchen, it's generally better not to have seating in the work zone. And yes, definitely make sure you have generous aisles between table and clean-up counter. Don't skimp here or you won't be able to accommodate people at the bar while people are seated at the table....See MoreKitchen sink placement help
Comments (10)Raised bars are really outdated a large uninterupted space is much nicer , do not believe for one minute they hide a mess only if your guests are shorter than the island.How large are your walkways a sink directly opposite a range is never good and have you actully priced out the venting requirements for a 48” range IMO overkill in any home unless you cook for 20 every night the noise from the exhaust system is awful and the whole thing will cost you at least as much as the range.Did you have an actual KD or is this your architect designing your kitchen because architects are not usually good at kitchen design. I usually like kitchens on outside walls for light and range placement but I would need to see the whole layout for comments on that.IMO cooking appliances in islands are the worst possible choice.I hope you have a ll drawers for base cabinets I keep all my everyday dishes and glassware in deep drawers...See MoreHelp with kitchen sink placement
Comments (12)Emilyam819, thank you. Yes I was not sure about the corner upper cabinets, for the same reason. The only reason to leave them would be for additional upper cabinet space, I guess. Another question I had was if I go with corner sink, I will probably move the dishwasher right next to the fridge. That way the dishwasher can be opened and someone could be working at the sink at the sane time. Is it a problem having the dishwasher right next to fridge? The would be separated by cabinet frame....See MoreKitchen sink drain placement
Comments (3)Thank you both for your replies. Chispa- I clean our dishes the exact same way. And the switch for the garbage disposal is on the right side of the sink, so I think it makes more sense to have the disposal on that side. That way I don’t have to reach across to flip the switch and two people can more easily work in the kitchen since the disposal will be on the prep side. I would like to add an instant hot water dispenser as well. Where would you recommend placing that faucet? Maybe on the left side? I don’t want a cluttered look so I’m planning for just a single hole faucet and the instant hot water to be cut into the countertop....See More- 4 years agolast modified: 4 years ago
