Kitchen layout ideas

6 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

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)

Yes, much better :) I like the utility opening up from the kitchen. I agree with CWD about converting that window (EDIT: in the new utility room) into a door. Maybe a sliding door, if possible, to save space on the door swing. I also agree with generally converting existing doors into windows, and window into doors, where suitable. I also don't think it makes sense to keep the old larder/WC. The location and dimensions aren't practical and it interferes with getting an optimal kitchen. As for the hob, it isn't nearly as practical, clean, or safe, on the island as having it against the wall, especially given such a spacious kitchen! I might consider a "prep" sink on the island to get a comfortable Fridge->sink->hob work triangle, although two sinks require more plumbing and maintenance than one. The fireplace on the original plan, is that still there? Or are you planning to remove it? I do like how you positioned your dining table with the bench against the wall.

Your extension looks great! Your layout has a nice open feel and good flow, but a few small tweaks might help: Fridge Placement – It feels a bit tucked away; moving it closer to the cooking area could improve efficiency. Island Seating – If space allows, making it deeper would create a more comfortable spot for family and guests. Storage – A pantry cupboard or extra drawers in the island could be useful for a family of four. Zoning – Different lighting or slight material changes can subtly separate the kitchen from dining/living spaces. Overall, it’s a solid design just some ideas to fine-tune it!

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.
