Very similar to our kitchen space which are about to renovate

8 years ago

Our space is slightly awkward as there are many doors in the room and not enough width for a large island. what you have done here looks like it might work. Could you give me an approximation of the dimensions of this room? thank you

I love this timeless look. It looks like a great layout and an immeasurable improvement on the before. For various reasons range cookers and real wooden worktops don’t work in practice for me, but that’s a personal thing and everyone has different preferences.

Thank you both @rinked @minnie101 for your comments and feedback. I think flipping the kitchen to the other side of the rear extension looks like it could work, but I think we'll lose some essential kitchen storage space. I like the way you've increased the depth of the utility space, it makes the area look a lot more fuller. If we were to go back to the drawing board and start completely from scratch, how differently would you lay out the spaces??

Thanks for your advice both of you. We live in England to answer your question Gabby. Is there a rule in Scotland that the aisles have to be 120cm and if so why ? Jonathan, I was kind of thinking we would want to use the island for eating meals on like we do now with our current kitchen table, but I guess if the DR is open to the kitchen then it wouldn't be a problem to take a few steps more to the dining room table (because we use it so infrequently at the moment I am finding that hard to visualise). I am going to post a better plan of our current kitchen and dining room (with the pantry taken out) and I am also going to post a photo looking out from the window in our dining room. I am wondering if we did turn the DR into our kitchen could we make the window ledge higher and put the units in an L-shape so we could put the sink in the window? (and still have space for an island) I know this goes against some of my earlier points, especially about being worried people would be able to look in at us/and would create a more goldfish bowl feeling but I am just playing around with ideas.

Which of the following do you "obsess" about in your kitchen?

I do not ‘obsess’ about anything but a number of things make using the space much nicer - we always cook from scratch so when we modernised our kitchen 5 years ago, I was able to design the modest space in to a very workable kitchen with plenty of storage space (cupboards scribed up to the ceiling to avoid dusty tops of cupboards), long lines of worktops for food prep & lots of cupboards to keep things off the surfaces. I had additional shelves cut at Homebase to make storage easier in the large cupboards (I have lots of china & glass). I removed the door between the utility and the kitchen so the space flows & the utility sink is deep enough to take all the large oven trays. I also decided on eye level ovens with a view to the future when I might not want to be bending over a hot oven at floor level. A redesigned kitchen
