Kitchen layout

6 years ago

Hi,

I would appreciate some advice.

We wish to redesign our kitchen (230x270cm). I've attached a floor plan of our ground floor.

The 230cm wall between the kitchen and living area currently has a narrow service hatch (40x100cm). The other 230cm wall has a large window with sink, dishwasher and washing machine beneath.

What do you think would make best use of the space:
(a) current layout minus service hatch,
(b) open up service hatch to ceiling and place banquette in living area
(c) knock the wall between living room and kitchen, and close up the current door-way into the kitchen (converting this area to counter space, making it a U shaped kitchen).

Thank you for any advice

Hi Helen, The fridge position is ideal so I suggest you move the radiator to the other side of the door and turn the door so its opens back against the fridge. This will increase the feeling of space in the whole dining area. You won't regret the length of your breakfast bar so I wouldn't worry about the gap sizes, 1200 is an ideal but 1000 is more than sufficient. Could you turn the door into the utility so that it opens inwards and not into the kitchen area? It would eliminate having to manoeuvre round the door when open and reduce congestion in the kitchen especially with traffic flow past the end of the breakfast bar. Alternatively you could consider a pocket door which slides into the wall if there is enough space. Good luck!

Hi Fran.I think the hand-drawn design is fabulous as 1.You did not put a hob or tap in the island.....this in my opinion leads to lovely clean lines in a kitchen. 2.This design gives more space in a kitchen which is what you want. 3.I LOVE the wedge shape WITH seating. I saw one similar in a kitchen designed by Savvy Kitchens and loved it. 4. I noticedyou had drawn 2 little chairs and a little circular table also. Fab!! I love the idea of a seperate little zone near light to read/relax/enjoy garden view. Anyway...the best of luck with whichever plan you decide to follow.👍

We have just purchased a new build, and it comes with kitchen installed, we get choice of finish and can alter and pay any difference. The kitchen can only run on one wall for 4.5m max. I'd love to include an eye level oven, but fear it's then takes up too much counter space. We'll have a tall fridge/freezer, dishwasher, 1.5 bowl sink and an L-shaped bar on the right hand side. Any ideas of pictures would be helpful! :)

Our flat has a very, very small kitchen. I'm trying to work out how to make the space look 'neater' and make the best use of this unused space between two cupboards. Some of the key issues: The corner wall cupboard contains the gas meter so can't get smaller and the boiler has to be replaced soon but the fitter has said needs to stay in the same location :( The boiler work means that the tiles can be changed as some will get ruined. The cupboard space is used for food and equipment only. (The fridge is in a nearby cupboard outside the kitchen and plates/bowls are in a unit in the dining room.) However, as I'm only 5ft the very top shelves are inaccessible and so mostly empty. I'd love to hear any suggestions, as it feels impossible to make this space any better.
