new kitchen layout

last modified: 5 years ago

Hi guys,

We are currently in the planning process of getting a rear extension done - this will be 4 meters out by 5 meters across. I am trying to do a kitchen/diner idea at the moment incase anything needs to change.

Hopefully the plan below shows. Anyway I was thinking of having units in a L shape, starting at the door at the bottom right hand corner then going round to the french doors. Possibly have a line of floor units across the left hand side wall. and then a dining table in the middle.

There will be a folding door at the bottom where the opening is showing currently. THinking of having a hob on the right had wall half way down with the sink in front of the window. But can't think where to put the fridge/freezer (ideally american style) and the washing machine/Drier. For the latter I was thinking of having them just as you come into the kitch from the doorway, but not sure if this would be the best use of space.

any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi Uzma!

My instinct in this area would be to flip the room and use the 4m wall for appliances, larder and sink with a deep island running parallel with additional storage, worktop and casual seating, leaving the rest of the room for a more intimate dining area. People often initially feel that storage and worktop space will be restricted but with a good use of drawers there will be no problems. Also the way an island is used will maximise surface space.

thanks for the suggestion. Ideally I would like to do that, but lets just say not all parties are in agreement :D Plus there is a French door leading to the garden, wouldn't this cause an issue with being in the way of the island?

Presumably if you detest sinks and stoves in the island you don't mind guests talking to your back? Personally I have found it works brilliantly I can prep cook and chat all at the same time and don't feel at all left out, the beauty of an island is people can circulate around it and you, more likely to top your drink up as well if they can see you. I think the perfect combo is a hob and prep sink in the island and large messy stuff sink and built in ovens within the perimeter cupboards. Once the wall is down you have a large area with many options, have you tried any kitchen designers to see what they come up with? Try several, you may get enough ideas to mix and match and choose from.

Fabulous ideas from both Amuri Interiors and Interior Workings. I agree having a pot filler and stove on the island is so much more convenient especially when you want to avoid moving around too much (which can sometimes get a bit messy too). Depending on budget, I would recommend getting a more powerful (and less noisy) extractor fan for the island. With this change, the original stove location can be additional counter top space for use especially when putting things in / taking things out of the adjacent oven / grill / microwave.

Not answering your direct question - but that breakfast bar vs. sink area looks like it might get old really quickly? Fighting for space/tripping over stools etc

If the doors opened outwards then this would work. This layout is one we consistently get exceptional feedback about. Where are you based, we maybe able to help?
