Does This Kitchen Layout Work?
Comments (1)Your link doesn't work. It asks me to join snapfish in order to view your photo. You'll get more responses if you embed your images in this thread. For instructions on how to do that, see the link below. If you haven't already, you should also read the New to Kitchens? Posting pics? Read me! thread. If your photo or photos are elevations drawings only, not an overhead view with dimensions, that's won't get you as much useful feedback. We can comment on looks but without knowing how large aisles are, what cab sizes are, etc, we can't provide detailed feedback. You also may get more responses if you ask for lay-out guidance in one thread and design help - style of cab, color of appliances, etc - in another. Here is a link that might be useful: Posting pictures...See MoreDoes anyone have a good layout for a laundry/office/pantry area?
Comments (11)These are just rough ideas. They would need to be tweaked on a plan that's drawn to scale with all the dimensions. All those functions are a lot to ask from a relatively small room. If you looked at any of the links you'll see that laundry rooms are getting larger and aren't usually combined with home offices. Based on those measurements a washer/dryer should fit snugly in the 50" niche. It might not be the largest pair but close. Since that's recessed it helps with the depth. I'd put a 30" wide laundry sink (you could go smaller but that size also might work for the dog) in a 48" lower cabinet against the bump out with an 48" upper storage cabinet above. Bottom cabinet would be 25" deep and top 12" deep. Remember that you lose 48" or 4 feet across the center of the room which needs to be open to walk around and for cabinet doors to open etc. A 38" wide floor to ceiing pantry cabinet (or it could be open pantry shelves) could go in between the wall and the window in the space opposite the door. I'd run a desk top starting on the other side of the window and have it turn the corner the and go another 36-38" or so on the adjacent wall. That's sort of chunky but it takes advantage of the corner. It could serve for setting down and if left open below someone could sit there. Narrow drawer banks might be possible on each end of that. It could take 12" deep upper cabinets for additional storage -- I'd do those with glass doors. That leaves the 5' window space open. I'd run a low 12-15" deep cabinet below the window and put a pad on top. That's additional setting down space. Or change the window to one that isn't as low so the bottom half of the wall is more usable. What's missing by jamming so many functions into one small room is hanging space to dry things. That might be possible with hooks on the wall in the aisle space -- best most likely on the way to the pantry....See MoreDoes this work for creating more kitchen walls for layout?
Comments (5)This is a gut and remodel. I know that having a bedroom off the foyer isn't great. We did have a layout proposal with the laundry and bathroom off the foyer. Because there is a possibility that my elderly parents may move in, I want to keep the bedroom and bath connected....See MoreKitchen Layout. Does this make the most sense?
Comments (4)Can we see more of the floor plan? Always want to have the sink in front of a window, or else on the island... it's awkward when a sink faces a wall, but I've seen it quite a few times. I like my fridge off to the side more since it's where everyone comes to grab something. I also spend most of my time at or next to the sink (prep/cleaning). If it were my kitchen, I'd put fridge where range is, sink in island, and range where sink is. Vent range outside. Depending on how many overall cabinets/storage you have, I also like cpartist's commend on window flanking range top...See MoreJennifer
