Hi Houzz Chaps
We're at the finessing stage of planning our extension and we're trying to figure out the layout of the kitchen.
Do you think we have room for an island if we rotate it 90 degrees? I'm not sure how much space you need around it?
The island would be just work surface, no sink or cooker and I like the look of the ones that are 2 levels so you can't see the row of plugs from the "diner" side. Maybe an under counter fridge in it on kitchen side?
Is that enough worktop space or would a breakfast bar be better coming out of the hatched corner, creating an "S" shape kitchen?
I'll add that utility room needs to be large as it will also double as Other Half's fishing equipment storage area, so there will FF in there (maybe 2) for bait / food.
Bi Fold doors might be sliding or "crittall" (cheaper version!) but we'd like glass across the back.
Scale on drawn plans appears to be 1.9cm to 1m

Kitchen layout advice in new open plan extension
Comments (6)I would suggest handing the FF the other way - aesthetically looks better paired with the pantry that way - and allows you to open both to see what needs to be restocked or to decide what to cook etc. Also for aesthetics, have the drawers either side of cooker both three drawers and the odd one other side of pillar as a two....See MorePlanning for kitchen extension help please ?

Comments (12)Hello HU-267915313, If you are looking at increasing the value I would probably consider getting a layout package - a concept planner who can really investigate the space in scale - and what you can get from the space. We offer three different layout options with ours. I would keep the courtyard anyway personally, I think it will make a great feature. It depends on how you use the space and what you want from it - do you use the dining room a lot? How many people need to sit in the living space? Personally one of the things I would look at first is creating a booth-style seating area in the entrance to that space, leaving plenty of space to look down and out of the doors and to access the space - and move the entry to the courtyard here so you can access it from the center of the house. This then also gives you a full three-wall area in the corner to add the sitting room and TV area which has great communication to the kitchen but also isn't the first thing you see when you enter - allowing it to have some nice light and views of the courtyard (if desired). It's a basic plan but like this - this is to scale with what measurements I can make out on the plan. This is the sort of booth area - it can be done is several ways or just be a table and bench pushed further to the right-hand side. ...and yes to an island. I hope this helps. All the best, Gina...See More
