Help with kitchen design/layout ..
Comments (8)You could consider keeping the fridge/oven wall as is. Then moving the stove to under the window so it is closer to the sink which could move behind laundry wall but still extend a little past the laundry wall to line up with the dining room opening (stove side) Change the window to a low bench window type splash back would be preferable to removing it, knock down the bench with brick return next to laundry & have an island bench/breakfast bar say 1200 mm square in front of the fridge/oven, the sink & stove are separate from the island there would be a gap to island on sink side) Then it might be possible to build the pantry in place of the stove or even into door way to dining if you created a new door to dining through living wall. This all depends on your living room layout leading to the dining room & budget of course. The fridge on the entry wall usually works best for families coming & going not getting in the way of the cook. This type of island is going to encroach a little on the meals area if it is 1200 mm square or otherwise make it the same length as the fridge/oven combo width and at least 900 mm deep & 1100 gap between. A good kitchen designer would be worth talking to....See MoreNeed help with kitchen design
Comments (74)We went for a 70 cm induction stove top which works well - bit more space than 60 but doesn't eat up as much bench space. Our space was limited too, and we wanted to maximise both bench tops and storage. I'd go for an under cupboard range hood and us the above space for some more storage - besides it streamlines the look. I personally like a sink and a small one - using the small one for vegetable washing and smaller washing up works well for us. Our space (and the necessity for two corner cupboards) meant that we had to have a small dishwasher - Bosch 45cm wide (several brands make them). It works really well if you have space issues....See MoreNeed help with Kitchen Design!
Comments (10)Thanks for this!!! This design woukd be ideal but has a few hurdles. There is 400mm between sliding door & wall and the window sits 700mm off the floor. This large window is north facing and attracts the all the much needed sunshine, especially in winter (were in Tasmania). I don't know if turning it into a splashback window would a. loose the light/warmth b. cost a bomb to replace & re-brick...See MoreNeed help with kitchen design please.
Comments (17)by using standard cabinets pulled out from the window walll and adding a deeper counter there'll be a narrow void along the wall with space to install a sink and dw and then cut out a space in the counter to allow for the lower window frame and create a dropped shelf for an inside "window box", ideal for a few small plants or herbs and then use tall shallow freestanding cabinets or bookshelves for pantry storage and add a small freestanding extendable dining table.instead of an island..eg IKEA Billy bookcases with plain and glass doors for the pantry and they have a wide range of suitable tables...and note that the pantry cabinet can extend outside the kitchen space eg glass doors would be good for dinnerware, glasses, books and music and if the new laundry door is positioned as shown there'll be better use of the corner shown as a "study nook" for a desk or ironing work space etc...See MoreDMH DESIGN
