Kitchen Design Feedback New Build

Darrin Ross
3 years ago

Hello Houzz!


We are getting ready to break ground on our new home as first time builders and I have learned a LOT from this site in the past several months as we plan. Thanks to all of you for the informal education you have provided me.


I am looking for some feedback on our kitchen layout/design plans, please. The house is being built by a production builder that allows some customization so I can't move walls/doors but I can determine appliance placement, cabinet configuration, etc. In this drawing, I can move everything except the hidden pantry entry.


I have tried to put a detailed design of the current (default) layout below, and I'm also posting the whole main level for reference. On my design image, each square is 3" by 3". NOTE: there are no windows in the kitchen itself but it gets lots of natural light from the attached open dining and living spaces with very large windows.


We are a family of two adults and to very young kids...looking to raise the kids in this house for the next 15+ years. So family-friendly is the main goal. We cook several times a week, and want the kids to be able to help once they're old enough. We don't entertain often but do occasionally.


Things I've thought of at this point include:

1) Should we move the sink / Dishwasher either to off-center the sink and allow a better prep area on the island, or move them off the island all together?

2) Should we move the stove to allow for better division of that counter space/cabinets?

3) The island is a nice size but should we make it deeper and/or move it in more to shorten the "in kitchen" aisle and widen the one between the kitchen and living space?


THANK YOU in advance for your feedback and suggestions!


Darrin
