Comments (5)really looks too tight in walk ways & in center between furniture. I can't visualize the "chaise" with the picture of couch you posted. Have you tried taping off floor for walkways around backs of furniture & also in center between the couches? Where can a person sit to see tv? One couch at right angle to TV & looking at bar, the other couch at right angle to that couch & view of TV blocked by people sitting on bar facing couch. Might have to empty the room to do the tape off but it would give you a better feel and visual of space allowance. Just feels too tight & with heavy furniture...See Morekitchen layout advice - all opinions welcome
Comments (16)Dining table is not yet purchased. But we have 12 chairs. Peninsula as island creates some difficulties with the existing cabinetry. We have a lazy Susan without anything to really replace that with on both walls. Living room - not sure. But switching the lazy Susan to that end also creates complications. Since these are secondhand and we are trying limit additional purchases it does create a puzzle and some challenges. However because it’s a small living room off the dining room in one space it’s almost like a big dining room with seating in the back. Sort of like the open space and symmetry of the doorways on each side of range. Pantry door - i suppose can be in hallway but seems to waste space where we were thinking about keeping our old fridge. Also it’s a bearing wall so more complex there as well. Ideally we’d get a pantry door to match other cabinets next to it that opens to the pantry but likely out of reach budget wise....See MoreAdvice/Opinions welcome on kitchen layout
Comments (21)@User typically you don't want to prep over a dishwasher because that's an area typically used for cleaning dishes. Either people use it to stack dirty dishes to go into the DW or for clean dishes to dry. Your current kitchen would be better off moving everything over a bit so you had space between the sink & range to prep, which is the typical location for prep. Keep in mind we are adaptable and will adjust to whatever we need to in a kitchen, but that doesn't mean there isn't a better way. In my last house my DW was in my prep zone (between sink & range). It couldn't be open while I was prepping, so that meant no one could help in the kitchen (either doing cleanup or unloading a dishwasher - and I couldn't clean as I prepped) because the DW couldn't be open. Same goes with your layout. If you leave it to the left of the sink you can at least have it open while you cook - someone could empty it and not be in your way, or you can leave it open and drop prep tools in as you go. It's ease of function. In my current house, DW is out of the prep zone and the ease of use is SO much better. My kitchen is nearly cleaned up by the time I'm done cooking. Regardless, your prep space is too small, which means you will wash things at the sink and then have to bring them to the range counter to prep (over and over). Or you'll prep over your DW, or try to squeeze in the 18" section you have there. Neither of which are functional....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
