Comments (20)i'm glad you're planning to reroute access to the garage: clumsy traffic pattern change a generous room into a big hallway and can't stop thinking about your kitchen..1. where you have narrow cabinets/shelves in the pantry...it's possible to have built in shelves inside the dividing wall (think about the size of what you want to store: cans, bottles, skinny packets? and put 60cm base cabinets on the other side, next to the freezer 2. i can't see the yellow highlights for stools 3. width of pantry is subject to you wanting to keep the door to the formal living room...if so, measure 150mm past the door opening and that's the minimum width of the pantry but 1500mm allows space to comfortably walk past your freezer and have full size base cabinets with pantry drawers (cleaner than open shelves) 4. space between the b'fast bar and 'fridge should be at least 90cm but if you choose a wide b'fast bar and a big 'fridge a bigger space is preferable (stand a couple of chairs 90cm in front of your current fridge for a few days and see how it feels) direction of fridge door opening is also critical, first for the cooks and then everyone else: if the size of the b'fast bar can be enlarged or reduced with overhanging counter then a change of walkway is not so difficult 5. as suggested by girlguide, the cooktop and rangehood might be better on the outside wall for ventilation 6. there seems to be a lot of small cabinets and drawers in your plan and there could be some better (and cheaper) combinations but when i tried to access IKEA kitchen planner to confirm available sizes it's not responding today 7. i've attached my suggested approximate base cabinet sizes: starting with corners and work outwards, aiming for the biggest standard carcases and then add drawers to suit purpose .....See MoreAdvice on coffee table
Comments (14)Thank you everyone so very much for your responses and advice. I liked the idea of having a bold piece to tie the church in but like a few have mentioned, something simple might be nice to not overshadow the pieces we've collected. The Nick Cali nesting tables might work quite well, simple but still have the raw wood and we can move them around. I also like the idea of a round table. Annb1997 we actually looked at the carved coffee table, it's super cute and pretty it's a shame that it's just a bit too low to be functional with the sofas. We are probably looking at something around 45 cm in height...but we might still get it anyway and add it into the library nook. We move at the start of Dec, will post photos :) Here's one of the current owner's layout. Thank you again everyone you've been amazing!...See MoreHELP! kitchen layout advice
Comments (3)the opening into the kitchen could be narrower and the breakfast bar deeper (for knee spaces) and wider say 1800 x 900 and swop the oven and pantry so that cookware taken out of the oven can be rested on the cooktop and the coffee station could be in the corner between cooktop and sink (keeping all the hot appliances at the end of the kitchen) and forget tall pantry doors and consider having pantry divided into top and bottom sections with drawers in the bottom and wall cabinets with bifold doors only to counter height not full height and think about what to store in the cupboards...below counter 45cm wide door cnr cabinets are ideal for big appliances and less often used serving ware and giant saucepans and there would be more counter space in the corners for coffee making with wall cabinets for cups and glasses and the other corner for meal prep with wall cabinets for serving plates and the pantry between oven and fridge and try the bar fridge under the breakfast bar with a deeper overhang for stools on both sides with a stool for mum...with such a short time to delivery you need to make some fast decisions but best of luck with the kitchen and your precious new baby...this rough suggestions has only approximate dimensions and needs to be confirmed by your designer...See More- last month
