Need help with fridge space
Comments (18)Hi Louie, Generally speaking, if I'm designing a kitchen for clients, I ask them to choose the appliances first. That way, one can design the kitchen accordingly so that it's designed specifically for what they want. However, obviously, that is not always possible and one has to work with what's there. I'm not sure what your situation is. As your wall on one side is 700, I'd bring everything forward on the other side, so that it's equal. The fridge handle may protrude a little (you'll probably need some clearance at the back for air circulation) but it shouldn't be too bad. See if you can locate the powerpoint for fridge in the cabinet above the fridge, which will mean you can turn it on/off without having to move it. I'd bring the face of that upper cabinet in line with the 700 wall and oven tower. There would be a gap behind the overhead fridge cabinet for the power to come up and into. The other thing I'd say is that you may not need skirting inside fridge cavity....See MoreIntegrate fridge/freezer or not?
Comments (27)Hi, I have to agree with rwalton5 with regard to the use of space set aside for the boot/ bag area. While the idea of the area is great, it really needs to be located in a more appropriate area of the house. Perhaps in the entry or laundry area. I do have a suggestion for your choice of fridge. I own and operate an Agri tourism business and was suprised when setting up a commercial type kitchen at the reasonable cost of commercial fridges. These fridges are built to take the wear and tear of busy kitchens with multiple users, much the same as a large family. I was able to store large water containers with tap, large platters and large plastic tubs to house fruit and vegetables. I can remember thinking at the time how ideal this option would be for a large family. I was able to install a much larger commercial fridge at a lower price than I could buy from a regular retailer. My thoughts are that you would then be able to fit a large chest freezer in your butlers pantry. While chest freezers are not fashionable, they provide the room you require for buying / freezing bulk groceries. Good luck with your plans!...See MoreToo much space either side of fridge?
Comments (31)Refer to your fridge specs before you close anything in. Fair Trading laws in this country have obsoleted warranties. There is now a sliding scale of reasonable expectation on consumer items which means manufacturers will rely on their tech specs more than ever. Check what minimum clearance your fridge officially needs on the sides and above the machine for ventilation before doing anything. Get your lighting working for you. Choose a 'warm white' lamp - not daylight or cool white. Cool whites kill off the warmer hues and makes things appear cold. Change, add or move your lighting to have two small gimbled ceiling lights wash down the face of the joinery instead of one bright light focussed on the fridge. Lighting can make a poor space look great or a great space look poor....See MoreWhat is the optimal space between open fridge door and island bench?
