Kitchen layout ideas

4 years ago

Hi all

I was wondering whether anyone could give me some kitchen layout advice. From the design i've attached we have a pocket door at the entrance (marked in red) and two sash windows that are roughly 500mm from the floor and 880mm wide. The outline in blue is a sky light and the pink/purple lines are what has been proposed.

We were hoping to have more storage space and i'm not keen on the idea of having a hob in the island. I do like the idea of having a L shaped kitchen in front of the windows that bends to the right hand side but I don't think that it will give us enough space to have a kitchen island. Is there anyway that we could incorporate a kitchen island? Perhaps by making it thinner? Is there a better design maybe that we haven't thought of?

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thank you

Sorry- I don’t think this room lends itself to an island. I think you either need to make this room bigger, to put the kitchen in another room or consider a different layout

I always find it useful to think through every type of activity you will do in the kitchen and see how it works for both options. So think about each meal time, dinner party with guests, kids with friends over, baking a cake or cooking a complicated dish - and really think about how you and your family actually behave - if you have a really big family and someone is always making a cup of tea, then yes the hot water tap on the island is a good idea. If it's just you mostly, then it might be less important - but only you will know what will work for you and what won't, so you've really got to imagine yourselves living in the new kitchen to find out where all the pinch-points and niggles are - or to be delighted by how efficient the space is and how it will transform your lives!

An idea, one of many. First I've widened the utility to 150cm, so the toilet could rotate and thus be narrower, which allowed a wider utility. All this would 'cost' you 30cms of kitchen. L-shaped kitchen with fridge and oven on the side (personally I prefer built in fridges, but in your scetch is an american model, right?), turned the nibs into a cupboard (glass doors? some lights in there?). Peninsula without stools, the shallow units make up for the lack of uppers (one upper unit next to the hob, not shown in my floorplan). Added some extra units on the left wall, but a buffet would probably look nicer. (to return a favour paypal.me/rinkedit)

Hi I was wondering whether I can have some advice on our kitchen layout. We planned to get our sunroom converted to an extension. Unfo Unfortunatel, we got let down by the contractors we hired who turned out to be professional scammers! Lots of tears and 6 months later, we are ready to get our kitchen done again but leaving the sunroom as is for now. How would you maximise the space? bearing in mind we are ok with the dining table being in the sunroom f. looking forward to all your suggestions! thank you these are suggestions we have received from a builder (just keeping all the units in the ”kitchen” space) : would love a kitchen island, if not a breakfast bar and plenty cupboard space. thanks in advance

Hi all. Looking to make better use of our ground floor configuration whilst also having a new kitchen. Below is the latest architect drawing and just suggestion for kitchen layout. We had originally planned to chop into garage but budget will not allow it so need to make best use of the existing kitchen space. We do want a peninsula for three but aside from that open to ideas. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

I think you might find the island too small once it's done, especially with the hob. I think there are two alternatives: 1. install a peninsula instead of an island (taking the island to the wall), or 2. spin the island 90 degrees and have the worktops on the longer wall. Then you could have a longer island or an L shaped run of worktops with the hob and sink in them.

Do you have a seperate dining room?

The island is very small as shown on your plan, by the time you have a hob installed (roughly 600mm) you will only have 450mm either side of the hob as usable space, also the gaps either side of the island are very narrow, ideally you'd want round 900mm for it to feel comfortable.

I would create a U shaped kitchen with a breakfast bar in the centre of the room, that way you still get the island effect you are after but you can keep the units to the right and gain additional units along the internal wall to the bottom of your image as shown.
