Could my kitchen be re-orientated?

last year

This is a very silly question but I feel if I don't ask it, I'll never know for sure, so here goes. My kitchen is open to the conservatory - the reason I fell in love with the house - and both are reasonable-sized spaces that work well. My (daft) question is, is there any way my kitchen could be turned around so that I could face the garden while I cook. You'll see from the floor plan and photos below why its laid out the way it is so please feel free to laugh as you say no!

Thank you,

Rosy

Hello. I think if, I were redesigning this space I would begin by looking at if this wall needs to be there. It looks like it may be a supporting wall with a lintel above the opening but it would be a good start if it could be removed without too much of an issue (increasing the gap)

When we work on our layout package, we then do scale plans to see what we can fit in but I would start by looking at either this... this may allow a double unit to come out from that wall to look out and would be opposite the door.

Or you could look at this... taking the units out from the left-hand side to allow for a walk way on the right-hand side.

I think I would start by having a builder over to look at what is possible in opening up the entry to the conservatory and the location of things like plumbing.

I hope it helps.

Thanks, Gina

Thank you very much, Gina, that is really helpful. What you've actually done is reminded me that I'd like the conservatory converted into a garden room, with the opening opened up to the full width and height and the conservatory given walls, windows and roof lights. Sigh. A body can dream, can't they?! While I'm at it, I'd have the new floor I want throughout the downstairs, possibly with underfloor heating and throw in a new kitchen while I'm at it. Hey ho, perhaps I should buy a lottery ticket.

Seriously though, thank you again for taking the time to look at this.

I think this is a really nice kitchen - you've done a nice job. The only thing that is throwing it off are the two different floors in dining and kitchen area. I'd like to see the same flooring continued through both areas. I think you'll be very pleased with the difference it makes. Since you do not like the wood or the tile, perhaps a porcelain 12x24 tile would work for you. It's very durable, so you wouldn't have to worry about the Newfies scratching it and very easy to maintain. You'd could opt for one of the wood grains on the market or one made to simulate stone. I think a greyish color would work well.

Sorry it seems my query re kitchen got lost somewhere in cyberspace. We are redoing this kitchen from scratch and would like some novel ideas especially space/storage solutions. Option of closing off the window, and definitely need a dishwasher included!

A soft mossy or grey green would be my first impulse but Sarah's dark blue looks good. It depends on your kitchen ware. White porcelains will pop with the blue and earthy stoneware will go more with the soft greens. I'd add a shelf to extend from the cabinet across the tile and a pot rack or hooks over the stove.
