Curious shapes always present challenges, but there is plenty of scope in your kitchen at first view. I would certainly echo OnePlan wrt fridge/freezer and hob/oven - as a minimum I'd be looking to have 300mm between these and ideally more. I would strongly recommend removing the existing radiator and either install a tall, thin "feature" rad (possibly to the left of the entrance door) or install under-floor or plinth heating. The "radiator" wall offers plenty of scope for additional workspace, with or without storage above and below. With space limited and the desire for seating, I would look at options for some form of breakfast bar along that wall. The sharp, irregular corners have their own challenges - consider radiusing these in some way or using triangular corner units to "step" the transitions. Consider embracing the quirkiness of your space - irregularly shaped shelving (thicker at one end than another, possibly alternating which end is thicker/thinner) could add some fun to the space and making it a fantastic feature! I'd definitely seek out a pro to help you with this one - give OnePlan a shout for starters or seek out a good, local independent to help you. Have fun!!

Hi Dean! keeping the chimney breast in such a small room does limit your options. Without seeing the rest of the floor plans we will presume this kitchen is required to service a 3 bedroom house. In this case, you really need to use all available space for worktop! This would mean the chimney wall, the wall to its left and the wall opposite the chimney breast. If the chimney was to be removed, you may be able to use one wall and perhaps fit an island area within the layout? Hope this helps! New World Designers Ltd.

Hi. We have a back room similar to this and 3 small kids!! here are my thoughts: kids need space! they have friends over and toys. We have rearranged our layout loads and found it’s very helpful to be Able to be flexible So for this reason I prefer the architects design for the location of the kitchen - as it’s to the side and then you can be flexible with the whole other half of the space.( It will also give you much more scope for a future side extension without redoing the whole kitchen). assuming You have full height storage across the whole back wall behind the door you will be able to contain all the kids toys as well as surplus kitchen bits. I would keep any non-day-to-day Crockery, baking bits etc along this back wall and keep only the everyday kitchen bits along the main kitchen wall. You could maybe keep the boiler in this area also so it doesn’t take up space in the kitchen. i would however switch the dining and seating area putting the dining table at the back (squeeze it even running along the storage wall) and keep the whole area By the garden for a sofa and a play area. You will find with small kids this is the area that is used most. When you’re entertaining you just twist the dining table and extend it running towards the garden. And if you don’t like it you have the flexibility to swap the dining and seating area. (We have been known to swap ours with the seasons! If you like entertaining I highly recommend keeping that run free of an island since the island can’t be moved! Hope this makes sense.

Alternatively on the original design you could have an L shape protruding from one of the side walls , but you would need to remove units from the opposite wall , which will allow you to have a longer island since you will have more clearance towards the empty wall. Then you can have a tall bank if units by the separate living room wall with a hidden door into that living room.
