My opinion, only as someone who has looked at probably thousands of kitchens,
is that it will actually make it more interesting. More custom.

Quite nice looking, from the drawing.

:)

It looks fine but I'm not a symmetry person. My other thought... I kinda feel like the cabs on either side of the right window dwarf it, blocks all the light. Have you thought about open shelving on the left side of that window?

Looks good to me too. One thing I question are the two small drawers on the far right. Don't know how much useable space they're going to provide. You might want to rethink making that a single.

do all the windows stay? if so, the light that will be blocked from the right small window won't be a big issue. However, the window is dwarfed by the chunky assembly at the end of run and the cab to it's left.You must decide if you need the storage space it seems before anyone can say redo those cabs-because it would be to smaller scale.

Doesn't bother me. Why does this bother you if the disparity between the two cabs in lowers adjacent to sink is okay?

If you wanted to tinker with the uppers, you could make the cab to the right have a single door of same width as one of the ones on left and then have a plain panel to finish the cab, creating a tuck-in area on inside. Don't know if that would be any more satisfactory to you, though. Or you could do same on left pair, making the doors same width as the rt hand ones and add the plain panel on the left of the double doors.

See my use of this idea at far right. All doors are same width, but the space on right was longer. This also allowed me to bump out the doors to allow space for roman shades at window which is to far right in photo. The inside of the far right cabinet extends to the end of the panel. Custom cabinetry.

If I had been thinking harder I would have had the shelves in the entire right hand bank of cabs extend from range hood to wall. Ditto with the left hand bank of cabs.

Have fun stormin' the castle!

Hi Tinker! If you are really bothered by it not being symmetrical, perhaps make the left cabinet 30 inches wide also? It looks OK to me as it is and probably won't be as noticable as it is on your rendering.

Hope you are enjoying your new home.

Actually if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed. I agree with whoever said it gives a more custom look though.

I like it. The three window sizes are different so it makes sense that the cabinets adjacent to them will also be different.

I think this is something that won't bother you once the cabinets are up. It should look fine.... and this is coming from someone who needs symmetry. :)

The two areas of drawers on the top row that have side-by-side drawers I would change. (....Unless you know very specifically what you will put in them and need smaller drawers.) One drawer will give you much more flexibility and you could always put dividers within the drawer. (Did you do this to try to complement the narrow upper right cabinet area?)

I am someone who believes that you should strive for balance, rather than symmetry. That being said, where is the dishwasher?

I think it might be the lower window on the left that is throwing things off. Any way to raise it to the same height as the other 2 windows? That way you'll only have 1 degree of assymetry (cabinets) versus 2 (cabinets and window height). That being said, I'm a bit of a symmetry fanatic. Left as is would be fine.

Also agree that right upper drawer would look better as a single drawer rather than 2.

Hi Tinker, It would bother me. I'd aim to make the cabinets on either side of the sink the same width. But I see to be out voted here!

i love your cabinets-- and lack of symmatry does not bother me at all. but i agree with several about the right window. light is limited and it is dwarfed by the cabinet. also, if that's really what the windows will look like, it is a beautiful feature in itself that should not be blocked visually. i agree that open shelves could work there-- or something else that would allow the light/view/window to mingle with the rest.

also-- i see that you are featuring the sink with the little base legs (does it stick out farther than the rest? i am thinking it does.) i would repeat the little leg at the very left end of the run as well (and maybe the other end..i can't see how it ends) just to weight it on the left as it is in the middle.
kawh

Other than possibly combining the two small right-most drawers into one for reasons already mentioned, I wouldn't change a thing!

Thank you all so much, the comments help! I think probably when it is all done, it will be one of those things I'll wonder why I put so much effort and thought into!

I have actually placed my cabinet order (woohoo!) but we are just going over the fine details and this was one of them. To answer a few questions.. the small window on the right is actually 4 panes of glass over one. This is an old, historic 1937 house, and when we stripped the wallpaper, there once was a partial wall there.. for whatever reason?) Luckily, this room is sooooo sunny and bright (which I LOVE) the cabinets won't take away the daylight (the previous cabinets we removed helped). The small drawers are just "for fun" to add a little "something". It is tucked away in the corner, I just think it will be a pen and paper drawer with game cards and such. I did make a mock-up with open shelves on the far right, I just didn't "feel" it... so I decided to on this counter height cabinet - it's only 14" wide.

I do like the idea of adding feet - the right side bumps into a wall... which opens into a bay window - which I'm having a window seat built!

Oh.. and I wish we could lift that window on the left up, but we can't. 80 years ago, this was a porch/breezeway.. and along the way, someone opened it all up to expand the kitchen. The roofline outside that window prohibits us from moving the window up - or I would in a heart beat!

Don't like it at all. There is such a thing as pleasing asymmetry, but this isn't it.

Could an architectural feature be put above the low window--a faux transom? stained glass with a light behind it? a piece of art? a valence? A pane of matte white glass within a larger window?

I would much prefer the two double uppers to be the same width. Otherwise it looks like your kitchen uppers are getting more and more scrunched as the wall progresses. It would bug me.

Ideally, both cabinets to the left and right would be the same size, however it isn't terrible to have the small width difference indicated. It does not appear that you have any options due to the window size. It would look funny if you tried to shorten the larger cabinet and left open space to keep it even.

I'm no designer, which will be apparent after my comments, but I thought the lower window to the left was an intentional difference to define a cozier spot there, where you'd have a comfy chair, a little bistro table/chair, or a small chest that's obviously a piece of furniture as opposed to a kitchen cabinet. I like it.

Just an idea, but to play up the custom look (and the different sized windows and cabinets) what about a plate rack on one side? That's what I would do, with different sized upper cabinets :)

I have different sized cabinets above my range, so I added a glass door to the smaller one, because it felt more like it was planned to me.
I like your counter sitting cabinet in the corner, I have one next to my fridge that's narrow with small drawers that fit almost nothing, but I love how it looks! Enjoy it!
