Which Kitchen Layout

vansboy

Hi All

See what you think to these three options, please.

It's part of the extension, which is underway, but not got any final layout, so suggestions welcome.

Where it shows an L shape, the right hand area will have folding doors, to create a 'snug' room.

The rest of the kitchen/living area is 5750mm along the wall where the units are, by 10metres where the patio doors are shown.

All comments appreciated.

Thanks

VB

Can you show the floorplan instead?

I'd rather see it in context to the rest of the house. Left or right makes no difference. I prefer the hob central but would prefer it all to contain symmetry.

It would be lovely if the island faced the windows and was as huge as you can possibly make it in a large space like that. People can sit at the island with lots of room away from sinks and hobs on the island if you make it really deep! Our is currently 150cm deep, our next will be 160cm.

If you have the space available to make it very different to the average kitchen - use it. Pimp that island! Does the dining table have to be wedged in to that space? There seems to be a lot more available.

Great imaginative use of Ikea wall cabinets in Grand Designs Magazine this month.

All three look the same.

Thanks for input.

I've made a more precise layout, which would work, I think. The island is just over 3000mm x 1200mm, but could be deeper, I guess.

I did originally have the kitchen running along the side wall and the shorter wall (this backs on to utility, where the smaller door is), with island and dining table parallel with patio door, but it seemed tight and too many wall units, as well as what looked an uneasy working space, for the actual kitchen duties.

The living space is entered from hallway, through double doors shown on left. As mentioned, considering putting folding doors to create 'snug' area, in what was original living room, seperating the space, more.

Hope that makes sense.

Any more comments, most welcome.

Hi

I personally don't like the sink in the island unit.

In my kitchen there's often dirty dishes stacked next to the sink waiting to be washed or rinsed before going in the dishwasher. I wouldn't want that kind of thing stacked on an island in full view & in the way.

I can see that you've got a fridge freezer in the design. Could that go somewhere else & put an under the counter fridge for fridge stuff you want close at hand ?

No. 1 or 3 are both fine to me.
Probably prefer No. 3 as stove closer patio door.

won't pick no.2. The reason is someone else can't use the sink when someone actually cooking.
