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!

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! :)

Do you have any room dimensions

Hi our kitchen company has advised that we take away the units on left leaving only units and worktop at other side, leaving free walkway and clean lines. They also suggested increasing the window to full length at this side. Looking to know if this would work conscious that it might be bare
