Design Dilemma Kitchens

KITCHEN EXTENSION - where would you place the kitchen cabinets/island?

Seasons in Colour

Good morning lovely people!

We are planning to extend the existing kitchen/utility room to the rear of the house so that the new external wall is aligned with the end of the dining room; and then join up the new space with the dining room.

Question: where would you place the kitchen cabinets/island/table and a sofa into this new space?

Considerations for the design:

We will close off the existing door to the kitchen and move that new wall further back to avoid dead space to the left of the stairs (and that could become a cabinet or space for fridge?) and replace the existing door that leads into the dining room with larger crittall style glass narrow panels that do not feature an actual door (more like a frame). That frame will be further left to the existing door so that more light flows into the hallway.

[in the future we want to move the WC into the study to make the hallway bigger, and move the study into the garage as a phase 2 in 2 years].

Hi - just to clarify do you have an updated version of the floorpans which include all the changes you mention above? It is difficult to see how everything will fit without knowing the new dimensions.

Thanks in advance

Concealed lighting in the Kitchen: where would you put yours?

I would go for underneath the cupboards as it is a functional option too. If you have cupboards like these and standard track lighting or similar in your kitchen (as I do), you invariably end up casting a shadow on your food when you prepare it and these would counteract that. When I finally get around to redoing my kitchen, this would be the plan I think!

Yes it will fit but it has lots of compromises...... It’s only possible if you have an island no deeper than 90cm, if you accept a tight 95cm of circulation on the kitchen side of the island, if you accept there won’t be room for island stools, if you have a bench against the wall to give more space for dining. Perhaps the kitchen would be better in the original house and this space could be a new living room as it’s likely bigger than the living room you have.

@Marina Drobot thank you so much for the thoughtful redesign! It's looks fantastic and we're very tempted to follow it with the masses of storage and kitchen space - however we really want the additional living space. We love the idea of the whole overall space being a communal area, and the living space is a big part of that. Your design is very creative and not something we would have thought of ourselves. Thank you.

You might also want to consider if you will use the study after extending. If not you could make the study into a laundry room/boot room and then make the total kitchen space larger

Do you require two doors into the kitchen/living space? If possible I would look at the options of removing the door on the right and moving the other door to left to line up with the front door in the hallway. It looks like you could pottentially gain a fair amoutn of space if this is possible.
