Hi Houzzers, what do you think is optimal for kitchen aisle width? currently it is 1450mm. Woukd you reduce this to 1200mm and push the island bench back or increase scullery and laundry by pushing island forward?
1300 is ample, had that in last house, but didn't have a sink in island, now I do so I actually like 1200 , seems to work well for me, but depends how many will use that area and how. (Washing up..someone needs to walk past, etc) Only 2-4 live here now depending on Uni holidays.
I enjoy a 1200mm separation too. Try drawing on to your plans those little to-scale ‘top down view’ human figures that the architects use. I find it really helps visualise the workability of tighter spaces.
ok, based on your feedback we have reduced kitchen isle to 1250mm. The kitchen island is now 1400mm wide, 600mm deep cupboards at the front, 300mm deep cupboards at the back and 300mm overhang We have increased scullery and laundry by 100mm. What do you think? Is island too chunky? or is it ok? Thank you.
No, and it would be better. Left as is, the people that sit at the island, will be sitting in the walkway, and the space in the dining and lounge, being only 4340 wide, would be compromised.
It is not just the width of the island bench, you need to also take into account the room taken up by people sitting at the island. Could be, Maybe another 500mm into your lounge and dining area. Shown on your plan as theatre?
Lol at dreamer. Great pics... No it'll look fine cos everyone will be looking at your huge lounge space now!
I had a 1200 deep island by 1800 long.
Just an fyi... You have to walk around to clean it. I know you are having cupboards by stools, I did not, but now I have 1 met deep I can reach from one side.
Just easier and quicker on one side re cleaning but you are having cupboards so you just have to reach.
