Kitchen Layout Options--- new for 2012

14 years ago

No, we have not yet renovated, but ground has been broken!Time to finalize the kitchen layout, and we have a new idea for the long kitchen wall thanks to ANNSCH! 22 1/2 feet x 12.5 feet is the total space.

Would this new layout work for us? Is it a better use of space? More elegant? Just as much light? If we go with this, should we expand the island and skip a table? The dining room is about 6 feet away, the entrance opposite the refrigerator wall. We are OK with eating quick meals at the island.

NEW OPTION 2012:

OR OLD OPTION 2011?

Thanks gurus, we are really looking for the direction to take and I think this might be IT.

So, a couple of things.

It's just a little bit busy for me. The assorted height changes, depth and style changes would drive me bats. I would have bigger windows - maybe with that arch pattern and not cabinets between the "ends" and the range.

You might try placing stuff that emulates the deep cabinet sides to your existing range. I don't have issues with statement hoods or mantle emulations, but having those deep/tall sides might be annoying.

I think your ref will stick out further and quite possibly its door will hit a person seated at the table. I wonder if its possible to consolidate the island and the table - only having one seating area instead of two.

It's hard to tell without trying to work it up, but I wonder if this could be a two island space? Omit the "L" part with the sink and think about cooking/prep island with water up near the window and an eating/cleanup island perhaps placed where the table is?
