Small kitchen with angled wall

Designs with Character

6 months ago

Hello! I have a small kitchen with an angled wall. I can't seem to make anything work other than what is shown in the floorplan (see attachment).
There is an hvac register under B39 (bottom center of the photo). There is also an HVAC intake in the opposite side of the wall (left side) of the fridge (W361824).
I'm open to removing walls but I don't want to overinvest in the house. However, I do plan to live here long-term and I cook everyday.
All the walls are load bearing and the pantry is in the hallway that is outside the opening on the bottom center side of the picture.
I hate the idea of keeping the fridge next to the wall/doorway too but it seems to be the only logical option.
Any recommendations or is this the best option I have?

I don't at the moment but I can provide information as to what is outside the walls.

The top of the photo is an exterior wall with the door opening to the deck.

The other openings are open doorways.

The right side is an interior wall adjoining the master bedroom. The range must remain where it is located in the photo and the sink must remain where it is as well.

Neither of ^^ these walls can be moved.

The bottom side is a load bearing interior wall with an adjoining standard width hallway that includes the pantry on the opposite wall (not adjoining the kitchen).

The load bearing angled wall adjoins the living room which is quite large with a vaulted ceiling.

The left side wall (load bearing) adjoins the dining room which is not vaulted and is 158 3/4" by 152".

The kitchen and dining room cannot be vaulted as there is a second floor above them.

I hope this helps.

shouldn't they be angled directly toward your work surfaces?

I don't know if this helps but I have a partially angled ceiling in my kitchen. Previous owners of our 1873 house claimed a porch as part of the kitchen back in 1968, and that part of the kitchen had a dropped ceiling (most of kitchen ceiling was 9'6", that part was about 8'6"). In our remodel we were able to raise up that part of the ceiling, except at the exterior wall where we had to follow the roof line. This left us with an angle at that end of the room: To us this was a fine solution and we do love our higher ceiling...

Based on the picture, there is a small glass wall/piece between the sheetrocked wall and the door (Look at the tile coming out from the wall). The glass door is then connected to the small glass wall with glass to glass hinges - They look like 135 Degree CR Laurence Hinges. CR Laurence Hinges - 135 Degree CR Laurence does make a bunch of different types of adjustable hinges though, so the smaller glass wall isn't always necessary. I'm including a link below for other CR Laurence adjustable hinges. (CR Laurence is one of the biggest/only game in town for frameless glass shower hardware - Your glass fabricator can usually order or a number of sites online allow you to order).

I do not see why it could not, although swinging in I cannot see it swinging very fair due to the wall. And shower door sthat swing both ways always puzzled me beside as I would have a clear acrylic pc on the fixed panel to help with water leaking but thats just me.

I would make that angled wall into a banquette and use the table as extra prep space. As for the fridge I think it's in the best spot.

i would seriously consider a galley.....stove and fridge on 158 in wall...space them out a bit as there will be no corner up by the window. then opposite..with an aisle of 48 inches you get a long 10 foot run /sink there.....appears you can have overhang maybe curved .....pull in up by the outside door.... several stools.. the walkway in your space to the rear entry will run along the angled walls in lower left......place art and decor on this wall...nice..... 1.keeps traffic out of your task zone 2. big plus no corners or angles in your task zone 3. big plus -some seating. Your space is not small.....13 foot wall w 10 foot run opposite for an efficient galley and bonus pantry just outside ....
