Comments (16)If you were to turn the island 90 degrees I don;t think you would gain anything and you would lose two things - aisle width and island size. You can't put the island any closer to the sink wall because you don;t want anything getting in the way of the 12' trek (sorry) between the fridge and stove. If you move it closer to the sink wall the island becomes a barrier to the pathway between the two. Your aisles widths would also be narrower. Currently they are 4' wide , now you could go to 42" (3 1/2' wide) but that only leaves you with an island length of 5' long x 4' wide (maybe you can go to 4 1/2' wide). You don;t want to go any wider because it becomes difficult to clean the middle of it - it's a long way to reach. However speaking of island size - You have it going beyond the reach of the kitchen - does the right side line up with something (not the overhang part but the cabinet bulky part of it) or is it just hanging out. If not I would shorten it so that the bulky part of the island (not the overhang part necessarily) lines up with the end of the oven/microwave. Is that maybe 6-8"? Now, if you moved the fridge over, which is wider, you probably wouldn't have to do that. If your wife is baking there - everytime she has to go to the fridge she has to walk arooouund the island and 8' to the fridge rather than just turning around to get eggs, butter, milk, whatever. What is the alcove on the sink wall with the window? Is that a lower counter or a window seat? And what is the drawer configuration at the end. Is this a coffee/drinks bar? (Prep sinks don't have to be very big, but, I know how you can get image of what you're kitchen is going to feel like and be like and if no prep sink - so be it.) With respect to the fridge - you can, which you probably know, put panels around it so that it is encased with your selected cabinetry if you move it to the end of the stove run. I'm just throwing out ideas because sometimes we can get stuck in a box and need someone to push us out of it....See MoreBarker Kitchen cabinets design/layout help
Comments (2)Welcome to the club! We're finishing up a reno of a 1200 sq ft house for our family of four. Tweaking the floor plan was my favorite part and now that that's squared away I like seeing other peoples floor plans develop. Can you post the whole floor plan as-is?...See MoreKitchen Layout Design Question
Comments (8)By seating in the kitchen, I meant a peninsula between the kitchen and dining area. You could put the DW and sink on the peninsula, prep in front of the garden window, and center the cooktop between the two windows. I added a prep sink in the corner, in front of the 70" window. I had un-recessed the fridge in my previous plan, and pulled the cabinets on the bottom wall out to be flush with the fridge box--sorry I forgot to mention that in the previous post. In the following plan, I moved the cabinets on the bottom wall back to the original position. In this plan dishes could be kept in the cabinets beside the fridge, for convenient unloading and easy access for anyone setting the table: The fridge could also be moved over as cpartist suggested earlier:...See MoreFinal kitchen cabinets layout design
