i'm not crazy about symmetry in a kitchen if it gets in the way of how a kitchen functions. however if you are making your hood the showstopper in the kitchen having the first upper on each side match probably would look better.

if some other aspect of your kitchen will be the focal point then don't worry.

do you have a front view of your plan? i can see the differences in the floor plan but its harder to assess how it would all work.

thanks. i wouldnt worry about it if it was my kitchen.

yes its oke

When we redid our kitchen, we mis-measured how much space for the hood. Ended up taking a narrow cabinet (that would have made it symmetrical on either side of the stove) and sticking it on the other end. it actually ended up looking great. You don't even really notice that the cabinets aren't symmetrical.

Just curious or as a suggestion if there is no immediate wall there, can the island be larger?

Are you trying to use prefab cabs? It would look better symmetrical which gives it more of a "furniture" look. You might need custom cabs.

Listen to Kevin OD. Your 3D looks really odd with the jumble of narrow doors in the corner. Aim for symmetry as he advised!

I think you could do it symmetrical if you are willing to have a wall blind corner cabinet. Then you could have a 33" on each side of the sink and a 15" on each side of the range hood. It would be worth taking a look at.

That last layout is almost the exact layout of our kitchen, except we don't have an island, just a table we eat at. Instead of a blind corner cabinet, though, we did an angled one that holds our microwave and a wine rack. Below, I designed (and my husband built - because I HATE lazy susans with a passion) a kitchen cart that rolls out for extra cutting board/prep space, and stores my bakeware and kitchen aid mixer, and the "blind" space under that has drawer shelves that stores stuff I need, but don't use often. So every inch is used, just hidden.

If you didn't want to do the angled wine rack/microwave thing, you could just do a cupboard and mimic the drawers to pull out stuff from the blind area. You'd just have to get creative with the shelf space. Perhaps door mount? You'd need really strong hinges for that though.

Why does your husband think wall blind corner cabinet will look funny? It's not as user friendly as the other corner cabinet, but it looks just fine to me.

There would be fillers/extensions required to make sure doors can open freely. Again, I think it looks fine, but you and he have to be comfortable with it. Do they have an example at the cabinet shop so you can see what both options look like? Here's another option?

HI -- The problem is mostly with the upper cabinets in the corner having too many doors . Some of the cabinets could have a single door instead of two doors -- that should help . function overrules symmetry and I think it will all look fine .

With full overlay cabinets, there is usually 3" to either side depending on measurements. It really would be best if you could see both applications yourself though.
