Comments (8)Thank you all for your comments One Plan, yes any plans will be checked and I’ve seen you point out pitfalls in people’s plans (good for you) and in one of my photos!! I understand your viewpoint and I like the way you think. Create Perfect, thank you for your comments and for reminding me about all my photos in my idea books, I’d kind of forgotten about them, they were for a previous kitchen but I still love many of the photos. A concept planner is a good idea and I may well go down that road Colour Happy, that photo is gorgeous and I’m sure it will give me inspiration. Daisy and Carolina, thank you for the suggestions of an induction hob and downdraft extractor, the problem I have is that I loathe induction hobs, I have one and really can’t get on with it. My biggest problem is that I’ve just had an extension built on my house, it’s my kitchen diner, it took three years to get permission (think National Park and a listed building) so I had a long time to get it right. I designed it and had it built to my, very exact, specification. This barn is supposed to be a holiday let, so do I just stick a generic fitted kitchen in or do I do it how I want it?

Comments (17)A much more functional layout can be achieved in the existing room by flipping the existing hob and fridge freezer. It looks like you are currently losing a good 30cm or so of potential counter and cabinetry space next to the doorway, and it would give you a longer counter run between sink and hob. I would also add a long bank of shallow low cabinetry alongside the wall between the 2 doorways, which would give you quite a lot of additional storage space without interfering with the walkway or sight lines. Plus the narrow ledge there could help keep clutter off your work surfaces. In terms of dining space, you could lose your unloved peninsula and then add a small table and chairs. You would have to squeeze in the 60cm oven into the main work area, but 30cm would be gained by the fridge move, and another 20cm could be gained by swapping to a 60cm sink cabinet. (I assume it’s 80cm right now.)....See MoreNeed help with kitchen layout please
Comments (5)We have a dining room, just thinking it would be nice for the family to be able to sit in the kitchen. Also my partner really wants to knock the utility down to create a side access from front to back garden. And I’m not keen on having to go through the kitchen to get to the toilet. We could get an island in but not sure if it is best sue of space as one wall is left bare then?...See MoreNeed help with kitchen (re) design please
Comments (10)Yes, your design is lovely indeed! 1. isn't an island but has a whole lot of countertop space, which might come in handy for preparing large family dinners with multiple people. 2. true, the distance is the 'price' for the larger island i guess, besides i like the connection with both dining and lounge without the column blocking the view. 3. both have about 5m countertops, pulling the island somewhat towards the storage would provide more space for stools....See More
PRO9 years agoobviously depending on your room size, I find if you change the range cooker to a hob and install tower ovens you don't loose cooking capability but do gain more dedicated storage in the form of deep pan and crockery drawers. If you then add pantry units this also frees up worktop space as more items have homes.

- 9 years agoThank you everyone, we both not drink so no wine rack -) and we have to take all the unit out and re design with more storage.
I'm new to houzz and I'm glad that I put the pictures on here to give me more idea of what we can do with this space.
This is what we would like to do but I'm not sure if they look ok.
