Another request for layout help - fridge and oven

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

Hi all- you have been so good to help me with previous layout requests. I am trying to get an idea of what would work before seeking a KD.

If I would like the wall pictured below to have a double oven, a fridge, and then food pantry type cupboards, would would be the best layout/order to have them? I am including my current floor plan of the kitchen. This is the wall that currently has the fridge. To the right of the fridge (if facing it) is a doorway leading to the mudroom and a half bathroom. This is kind of a heavy traffic area, but my previous attempt to take out the island and replace it with a u shape was not too highly liked when posted. :-)

So what order would you put pantry, oven, and fridge? Thx!

**edited to add: There would no longer be a desk area.

Not to be negative (again) but where is your landing space for the oven going to be? Are you going to keep the stools, which were causing the problem with the desk placement?

Personally, I'd get a range (with double oven?) and put the microwave over by the fridge and pantry...instant snack area!

Something like this...

Hmmm, a very good point Lavendar. I guess I thought the landing spot would be the end of the island on that side, and someone (possibly you?) mentioned making part of the end of the island a little bookcase for cookbooks. I am not opposed to a range, but I think a 48" (or side by side) double oven range would really be too wide. Our house only has electric (!!) no gas, so their will be no beautiful big gas range in our future (much to our dismay!) and we would really like to have two ovens. I don't like the size of the individual ovens for the the smaller range double oven appliances.

What if I did a micro and oven (that will be used less often) on that wall--- could the landing space for that one be the end of the island, but then have a range with the other oven in the spot marked? (Is that making sense?)

Something like this? :)

P.S. Just FYI, if you take the picture with the page squared next time...it's much easier to draw in changes. That's why the lines are kind of wavy. LOL

Thanks Lavendar--- that is exactly what I was hoping for--- I wasn't sure where each appliance should go. This is immensely helpful. And I will be sure to square up my next photos too! :-D

Thanks!

How about make it a great snack zone, with a counter allowing landing space for the fridge and an upper cabinet for glass storage . . . and a drawer microwaves . . .

Then look at a big range with two ovens. Cabinets are expensive, so you can afford to spend more on a fancy big range if you can avoid the expense of the cabinetry to house the wall oven(s). :) I don't like the idea of the ovens over there in that obviously busy zone (island seats, fridge browsers, and, apparently, exercisers in the door way!!)
